Rhinoplasty (nose job) is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures worldwide — and Turkey has become a leading destination for patients seeking high-quality results at accessible prices. Prof. Dr. Cengiz Eser brings over 20 years of academic and surgical expertise to every procedure, offering a personalized approach tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes between 1 and 2.5 hours.
What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape, resize, or refine the nose — improving both its appearance and, when necessary, its function. Whether correcting a dorsal hump, refining the nasal tip, addressing asymmetry, or improving breathing, rhinoplasty can be fully customized to meet each patient's individual needs.
How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Open Rhinoplasty
A small incision along the columella (the strip of skin between the nostrils) gives the surgeon full visibility and access to the nasal structures. Preferred for complex cases and revision rhinoplasty.
Closed Rhinoplasty
All incisions are made inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. Recovery tends to be faster with less swelling. Evaluated as the first-choice approach for suitable patients.
Nasal Tip Plasty
For patients requiring changes only to the nasal tip without altering the bridge. Addresses drooping, bulbous, or upturned tips while preserving overall facial harmony.
Rhinoplasty Without Osteotomy
Where the nasal bridge is neither wide nor prominently humped, surgery can be performed without breaking the nasal bones — resulting in a more comfortable recovery.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Enhances the nose while fully respecting and preserving the patient's cultural identity and natural facial features.
Revision Rhinoplasty
For patients dissatisfied with the results of a previous rhinoplasty. Requires a higher level of expertise and careful planning due to altered anatomy.
