Open vs Closed Rhinoplasty: Which Do NexWell Surgeons Use?

NexWell partner surgeons are proficient in both techniques and will recommend the optimal approach based on your anatomy and goals.

  • Open rhinoplasty — small incision under the nose, full visibility for complex reshaping. Preferred for significant structural changes.
  • Closed rhinoplasty — incisions inside the nostrils, no external scarring, shorter recovery. Preferred for tip refinements and minor bridge adjustments.
  • Piezo (ultrasonic) rhinoplasty — uses ultrasonic vibrations instead of osteotomes for bone work. Less bruising, faster recovery. Available at premium centres from $4,000.

How much does rhinoplasty cost in Turkey?

Primary rhinoplasty in Turkey costs $2,500–$4,500 through NexWell, compared to $12,000–$20,000 in the USA. Revision rhinoplasty costs $3,500–$6,000. All prices include surgeon fee, anaesthesia, one night hospital stay, and post-op care.

Is rhinoplasty in Turkey safe?

The cast is removed on Day 8, and most patients fly home 7–10 days after surgery. You can return to desk work within 2 weeks. Swelling reduces over 3–6 months with the final result visible at 12 months.

Why Turkey for Rhinoplasty?

Turkey performs more rhinoplasties per capita than any other country. Istanbul's specialist rhinoplasty surgeons have built international reputations treating patients from the UK, US, Gulf states, and Europe. The combination of European-trained surgeons, state-of-the-art clinics, and costs 60–75% lower than Western Europe makes Turkey the world's leading rhinoplasty destination.

A standard open rhinoplasty costs £8,000–£14,000 in the UK and $10,000–$18,000 in the US. In Istanbul, the same procedure with premium materials, an all-inclusive package, and a board-certified surgeon costs $3,000–$6,000.

Types of Rhinoplasty Performed in Turkey

  • Primary Rhinoplasty: First-time nose surgery — reshaping the bridge, tip, nostrils, or overall size.
  • Revision Rhinoplasty: Correcting results from a previous surgery. Turkish surgeons with high revision case volumes are especially strong in this area.
  • Functional Rhinoplasty: Correcting a deviated septum, collapsed valves, or turbinate hypertrophy that causes breathing difficulties. Often combined with cosmetic changes (septorhinoplasty).
  • Ethnic Rhinoplasty: Preserving ethnic characteristics while achieving the patient's aesthetic goals. Requires a surgeon sensitive to diverse anatomies.
  • Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Filler): Using hyaluronic acid filler to smooth bumps or lift the tip — no downtime, results visible immediately, lasts 12–18 months.

Recovery Timeline After Rhinoplasty

  • Day 1–2: Surgery under general anaesthesia. Splint and/or internal stents placed. You are discharged the same or next day.
  • Day 7–10: Splint and external stitches removed. Significant bruising and swelling visible — this is normal.
  • Week 2–3: Most bruising fades. You can return to work (non-physical) and appear socially. Foundation can cover minor residual bruising.
  • Month 1–3: Swelling reduces significantly. The rough shape of your new nose becomes visible.
  • Month 6–12: Tip swelling (the last to resolve) finishes settling. Your final result is visible.
  • Month 12–18: Final result fully established. Scar under nose typically fades to near-invisible.

Rhinoplasty Aftercare: How to Ensure the Best Result

Rhinoplasty recovery is a process, not an event. The choices you make in the weeks after surgery directly affect your final result. Follow these evidence-based guidelines to protect your investment.

First week — splint phase: Your splint protects the reshaped bone and cartilage. Keep it dry at all times. Sleep on your back with your head elevated on two pillows. Avoid bending forward (e.g., picking things off the floor) as this increases nasal blood pressure. Sneeze with your mouth open.

Swelling management: Apply cold compresses to your cheeks (never directly on the nose) for the first 48 hours in 20-minute intervals. Avoid salty foods, which promote fluid retention and worsen swelling. Pineapple and bromelain supplements are popular anecdotally (some studies support modest anti-swelling effects).

Sun exposure: Avoid direct sun on your nose for 12 months. UV rays darken scars and, more critically, heat causes swelling in the still-healing tissues. A wide-brimmed hat and SPF50 on the scar are essential if you are outdoors.

Glasses: If you wear glasses, do not rest them on your nose for 6–8 weeks. Use tape to attach them to your forehead or switch to contact lenses temporarily. The bridge of glasses places sustained pressure on the dorsum, which can distort healing cartilage.

Exercise: Gentle walking from Day 10. No contact sports, martial arts, or activities with ball-impact risk for 3 months minimum. Cardiovascular exercise and gym can typically resume at 4–6 weeks, but avoid anything where your nose might be hit.

Follow-up: Your surgeon reviews you before you fly. After returning home, virtual check-ups at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months are standard with Nexwell partner clinics. Contact us to arrange your consultation.

Why Book Your Treatment Through Nexwell?

Nexwell is an independent UK-based medical travel facilitator. We are not paid by clinics per referral — we work for you. Our role is to match you with the right surgeon for your specific needs, coordinate every step from initial consultation to aftercare back home, and ensure you have written guarantees before any money changes hands.

Every clinic in our network has been visited in person by our team. We assess infection control protocols, surgeon credentials, equipment standards, patient satisfaction scores, and complication management procedures. We reject clinics that do not meet our standards regardless of price.

Our services include: free initial consultation (video or phone), impartial comparison of up to three clinics, coordination of your CT scan and blood tests before travel, VIP airport and hotel logistics, 24/7 in-country emergency contact, and remote aftercare coordination after you return home.

There are no fees for our service — our costs are covered by a flat facilitation fee built into the clinic package price, with 100% transparency.

Over 2,400 patients have travelled through Nexwell since 2018. Read verified patient reviews on our reviews page or speak to a former patient directly — we can arrange this on request. Start with a free, no-obligation consultation today.

Start Your Rhinoplasty Journey

The first step is a consultation — not a booking. NexWell's rhinoplasty intake process begins with a structured questionnaire covering your concerns, your functional requirements (breathing, septum), your aesthetic references, and your timeline. This data goes directly to the surgeon before any fee discussion.

We match you to the Istanbul rhinoplasty specialist whose published portfolio most closely aligns with your facial type and goals, and schedule a digital consultation at a time that suits you. There is no obligation at the consultation stage. You make a decision when you have full information — and not before.
