Nose Aesthetic Surgeries

Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that permanently addresses both aesthetic concerns and breathing difficulties. Every surgical plan is personalised to the patient’s facial proportions and nasal anatomy.

Read More

Ultrasonic Piezo Rhinoplasty

Ultrasonic piezo rhinoplasty uses high-frequency vibration to reshape nasal bones with precision while leaving surrounding soft tissue undisturbed. The result is significantly less swelling and a more controlled, predictable recovery.

READ MORE

Revision Rhinoplasty

Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary corrective procedure performed when a previous nose surgery has not achieved the desired outcome. Altered anatomy and scar tissue make it considerably more complex than a primary procedure.

READ MORE

Tip Rhinoplasty

Tip rhinoplasty is a targeted procedure that reshapes a drooping, wide, or poorly defined nasal tip in proportion to the patient’s facial structure. Cases limited to the tip typically involve a shorter surgery and recovery than full rhinoplasty.

READ MORE

Open Rhinoplasty

Open rhinoplasty provides full three-dimensional visualisation of the nasal framework through a small columellar incision. It is the preferred approach for complex corrections, revision cases, and procedures requiring structural cartilage grafts.
Read More

Closed Rhinoplasty

In closed rhinoplasty, all incisions are placed inside the nostrils — no external scar is created. For suitable anatomy, it offers a slightly faster initial recovery and is well suited to dorsal hump reduction and moderate tip refinement.
READ MORE

Ethnic Rhinoplasty

Ethnic rhinoplasty uses the patient’s own facial proportions and ethnic characteristics as the primary planning reference. The goal is not a universal aesthetic ideal but a nose that looks naturally proportionate to that specific face.
READ MORE

Large and Long Nose Aesthetics

Large and long nose aesthetics aims to bring a disproportionate nose into balance with surrounding facial features. The surgical plan targets the right size for that face not the smallest possible nose to ensure a natural result.
Read More

Septum Deviation

A deviated septum occurs when the nasal partition shifts from the midline, narrowing one or both nasal passages and restricting airflow. Surgical correction realigns the septum to permanently restore unobstructed breathing.
READ MORE

Septorhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty surgically addresses the structural causes of chronic nasal obstruction including septal deviation, enlarged turbinates, and nasal valve stenosis. It permanently restores breathing without altering the external appearance of the nose.
READ MORE

Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional rhinoplasty is surgical correction of the nasal structures that impair breathing. It addresses the internal anatomy of the nose, correcting conditions such as a deviated septum, collapsed nasal valves, or enlarged turbinates that obstruct airflow and reduce the quality of nasal breathing.
Read More

Male Rhinoplasty

Male rhinoplasty is planned against masculine facial proportions and anatomical reference values specific to male anatomy. Conservative reduction targets, a straight dorsal profile, and appropriate tip rotation are essential to avoiding a feminised result.
READ MORE

Septoplasty

Septoplasty corrects the curvature of the nasal septum to improve breathing function without changing the external appearance of the nose. It is the appropriate procedure for patients with functional complaints and no aesthetic goals.
READ MORE

Nose Surgery Without Tampons

Modern nasal surgery replaces traditional dense packing with thin silicone splints that incorporate an airway channel. Patients can breathe through their nose from the first night after surgery, making the recovery period significantly more comfortable.
Read More

Curved Rhinoplasty

Curved rhinoplasty corrects a nose that deviates from the facial midline through coordinated osteotomies, septum realignment, and cartilage repositioning techniques. Each deviation pattern requires a different surgical strategy for a lasting result.
READ MORE

Nose Rasping Surgery

Nose rasping surgery smooths and refines the surface of the nasal bone and dorsal cartilage using a surgical rasp or ultrasonic piezo instrument. It is an effective, less invasive option for cases where surface contouring is required without full osteotomies.
READ MORE
Natural Looking Rhinoplasty

Natural Looking Rhinoplasty

Natural Looking Rhinoplasty is a personalized approach to nose surgery designed to improve nasal shape and proportion while preserving natural facial harmony. Each procedure is carefully planned to achieve balanced, refined results that complement the patient’s unique facial features.
READ MORE
Wide Nose Rhinoplasty

Wide Nose Rhinoplasty

Wide Nose Rhinoplasty is designed to refine a broad nasal bridge, wide nasal tip, or enlarged nostrils while maintaining natural facial proportions. The procedure is individually planned to create a more balanced and harmonious nose that complements the patient’s facial features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about rhinoplasty in Turkey and what to expect.

Yes. Dr. Dogan is based in London and offers private in-person consultations there before any surgery is scheduled. Your nasal anatomy, facial proportions, and goals are assessed face-to-face. A full surgical plan is prepared at this appointment — before you commit to travelling to Istanbul. Most clinics offering rhinoplasty in Turkey conduct pre-operative consultations by video or photo only. Dr. Dogan's London-based practice removes this limitation entirely.
At your London consultation, Dr. Dogan examines your facial proportions, nasal anatomy, skin thickness, and breathing function in detail. Your aesthetic goals and medical history are discussed, and simulation imaging is used to give you a realistic sense of what the surgical result could look like. A personalised surgical plan — including technique, expected timeline, and pre-operative preparation — is prepared at this appointment.
The technique is determined by your anatomy and the scope of correction required — not by a single universal preference. Closed rhinoplasty places all incisions inside the nostrils and leaves no external scar. Open rhinoplasty adds a small incision at the columella, providing full visualisation of the nasal framework for more complex corrections. The appropriate approach is confirmed at your pre-operative consultation in London.
Rhinoplasty at Private Aile Hospital in Istanbul typically takes two to three hours under general anaesthesia. Cases involving both functional and aesthetic correction — such as septorhinoplasty — may take up to three and a half hours. Most patients are discharged the following morning.
Most patients stay in Istanbul for five to seven days after surgery. Swelling and bruising peak in the first two to three days and begin to subside steadily. The nasal splint is removed at Private Aile Hospital on day six or seven, and patients are cleared to fly home. All subsequent follow-up appointments take place in London with Dr. Dogan — no return trip to Istanbul is required. Most patients return to desk-based work within seven to ten days of surgery. Final results emerge over twelve to eighteen months.
Yes. Every post-operative appointment takes place in London with Dr. Dogan — the same surgeon who performed your procedure in Istanbul. You do not need to return to Turkey for any stage of your follow-up care. This is one of the most significant practical advantages of Dr. Dogan's London-Istanbul model compared to standard medical tourism, where patients often have limited access to their surgeon after returning home.
A natural result comes from planning the outcome against the patient's own facial measurements — not against a standardised aesthetic ideal. The goal is not the smallest possible nose but the right nose for that face. This is established at the consultation through detailed facial proportion analysis. The surgical plan targets proportionality and balance rather than a specific shape, which is why results look like a natural version of the patient rather than a generic outcome.
Yes. Septorhinoplasty combines septal correction with external reshaping in a single procedure, addressing both functional breathing difficulties and aesthetic concerns at the same time. This eliminates the need for two separate operations and two separate recovery periods. Patients who present primarily for aesthetic reasons are also assessed for functional issues at consultation, as the two frequently coexist.
Traditional dense nasal packing has largely been replaced by modern techniques. In most cases, thin silicone splints with an airway channel are used instead, allowing patients to breathe through the nose from the first night after surgery. The approach used in your specific case is confirmed as part of the surgical plan at your London consultation.
Revision rhinoplasty is generally planned at least twelve months after the primary procedure. This allows cartilage and soft tissue to fully stabilise before secondary surgery is performed. Revision cases are significantly more complex than primary rhinoplasty, and the choice of surgeon — someone with specific revision rhinoplasty experience — is particularly important in these cases.
Thick skin limits how much of the refined cartilage structure beneath it becomes visible on the surface — particularly at the nasal tip. The structural correction is real and permanent, but the surface expression of it takes longer to appear and may be less immediately dramatic than patients with thinner skin experience. In thick-skin patients, the final result typically becomes fully apparent at eighteen months or beyond. This is discussed honestly at the London consultation so that expectations are realistic from the outset.
