8 Different Types of Nose Surgery

Depending on your case, a specific type of rhinoplasty will be better than another. This will be decided in accordance with your surgeon, but the final decision is always yours.

We advise you to carry out an independent and thorough research, and to get second opinions from trusted sources.

Here are the 8 main types of nasal surgery:

What is a cosmetic rhinoplasty?

This type of surgery is performed solely for cosmetic reasons. It can involve changing the size, shape, or proportion of the nose to improve its overall appearance.

What is a septoplasty?

Also known as septo-rhinoplasty in Turkey, it is performed to improve the function of the nose. It can involve correcting breathing problems, a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, or other structural abnormalities.

What is an Ethnic rhinoplasty in Turkey?

An ethnic rhinoplasty in Turkey is performed on individuals of non-Caucasian descent who wish to preserve their ethnic identity while still improving the appearance of their nose. More harmonious features are obtained by implementing subtle changes that honor the patient’s heritage.

What is a non-surgical rhinoplasty?

This type of rhinoplasty is a non-invasive alternative to traditional surgical rhinoplasty. It involves the use of injectable fillers or ultrasound to reshape the nose and can be used to correct minor imperfections or asymmetries.

What is a tipplasty?

A tip-plasty is a type of rhinoplasty that focuses on reshaping the tip of the nose. This procedure is usually performed for cosmetic reasons and is designed to improve the appearance of the nose by making subtle changes to the tip.

What is a revision rhinoplasty?

A revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct problems or complications that arose from a previous rhinoplasty. It can involve fixing issues such as asymmetry, breathing problems, or an unsatisfactory result.

What is an augmentation rhinoplasty?

An augmentation rhinoplasty, also known as a “nose job with implants,” is a type of rhinoplasty that involves using implants or grafts to add volume or definition to the nose.

What is a reduction rhinoplasty?

Reduction rhinoplasty is a type of rhinoplasty that involves reducing the size or shape of the nose. For this purpose, the surgeon may remove bone, cartilage, or tissue from various areas.

2 Techniques for Rhinoplasty in Turkey

Other than the 8 types according to the aims of the procedure, a rhinoplasty in Turkey may be performed using two different surgical techniques:

What is an Open Rhinoplasty?

An open rhinoplasty is performed in nose reshaping to improve the appearance and function of the nose. It is called “open” technique because it involves making an incision on the outside of the nose between the nostrils (columella) to access the underlying nasal structures.

• Advantages: the “open technique” allows greater visibility to the surgeon, allowing for more precise and accurate alterations.
• Disadvantages: this surgery will require a longer recovery time and scars will be initially more visible.

What is a Closed Rhinoplasty in Istanbul?

A closed rhinoplasty, also known as endonasal rhinoplasty, is used to improve the appearance and function of the nose. It is a “closed” technique because incisions are made inside the nose, without any external cuts. This technique is typically used for minor to moderate changes and does not require the same level of exposure as an open rhinoplasty.

• Advantages: it typically results in less swelling, bruising and faster recovery than an open rhinoplasty.
• Disadvantages: it may be more difficult for the surgeon to access the nasal structures, making it more challenging to achieve certain types of changes.
