Nose surgery or rhinoplasty, is one of the most commonly performed facial cosmetic procedures at our clinics. Also known as a nose job; rhinoplasty is designed to improve the appearance and proportion of the nose, or to correct a breathing problem.
Nose reshaping may also be performed as a reconstructive procedure to repair a birth defect or a traumatic injury, such as a broken nose.
It can also be carried out for functional purposes rather than cosmetic. Combining nose with a septoplasty can effectively correct breathing issues caused by deviated septum.

Rhinoplasty Procedure
During nose surgery at Best Life Esthetic Turkey, your plastic surgeon applies incisions to access the bones and cartilage that support the nose. The incision are typically made in subtle locations inside the nose so that they are invisible after the surgery. Depending on the desired result and appearance goals of each patient, some bone and cartilage may be removed, or tissue may be added.
After the surgeon has rearranged, reshaped, or shaved the bone and cartilage, the skin and tissue are redraped over the nose’s structure.
A possible splint is placed outside the nose to foster the new shape of the nose as it heals. Nasal packing maybe used inside the nose to give additional support.
While rhinoplasty in Turkey’s Best Life Esthetic clinic is frequently performed as an outpatient procedure, sometimes patients may require 1-night stay. Depending on your unique condition and our plastic surgeon’s discretion, nose reshaping can be done under local or general anesthesia.
