Septorhinoplasty is a surgery used to treat breathing difficulties and aesthetic issues, such as a crooked nose, caused by a deviated septum. The surgery aims to reshape the inner parts of the nose, altering the structure of nasal cavities.
As Turkey is among the leaders in performing plastic surgeries, it is one of the best countries for quality septorhinoplasties. The prices of medical treatments are also much lower than in the West.
What Is Septorhinoplasty Procedure in Turkey?
A septorhinoplasty Turkey is a surgery that is used primarily to reshape the septum – a bone that separates the nostrils. The deviations in its shape, either natural, such as septum curvature or caused by physical injury, can cause a lot of trouble. A deviated septum may cause breathing problems, as it can block the airflow or lead to the accumulation of liquids and nasal secretions.
It can also distort the shape of the nasal bridge or the general shape of the nose. As septorhinoplasties also involve reshaping the outside of the nose, the surgeon can also correct aesthetic defects that are not caused by a deviated septum. The surgery can be complicated, as sometimes the surgeon will need to extract cartilage grafts from the patient to transplant them to the nose. Even so, it is a safe and effective procedure.
Why Get Septorhinoplasty in Turkey?
There are many advantages to choosing Turkey to get a septorhinoplasty. It has many excellent cosmetic surgeons who have worked in the field for many years and have a wealth of experience conducting even the most difficult cosmetic surgeries. The safety of Turkish cosmetic clinics is unparalleled, and they can offer the most modern treatment methods.
Furthermore, Turkish plastic surgeries are very affordable due to the country’s advantageous living costs. It is much less expensive to live in Turkey in comparison with the UK, so the clinics can charge less and still have enough profit. As lower prices encourage medical tourism, the Turkish government issues financial aid for Turkish medical service providers, making their prices even more affordable.

Is there any difference between Septorhinoplasty and Rhinoplasty?
Both septorhinoplasty and rhinoplasty are surgeries that change the shape of the nose, but they differ in what parts of the nose are their primary targets. A regular rhinoplasty aims to reconstruct and change the nose shape by altering its outer parts. In contrast, septorhinoplasties primarily target the inner parts of the nose. Whereas regular rhinoplasties are primarily concerned with aesthetics, septorhinoplasties also make it easier for the patient to breathe. A crooked septum is one of the most common causes of breathing difficulties and can only be altered by surgical means.
Who is Eligible for Septorhinoplasty in Turkey
An ideal candidate for septorhinoplasty is someone with health issues caused by a deviated septum. These include, but are not limited to:
- Snoring;
- Breathing difficulties;
- Persistent nasal blockages.
The surgery can also make the nose look more balanced by treating the issues with the shape of the nose.
An ideal candidate for nose surgery should be generally healthy and abstain from alcohol and other recreational substances for at least two weeks before the surgery.
How is Septorhinoplasty Performed in Turkey?
The surgery can be performed using an inner or outer incision. During both types of procedures, patients are put under general anaesthesia, resulting in them being unconscious throughout the treatment.
Closed surgery—one where the incisions are made inside the nose—is used when the septum deviation is mild to moderate. If the deviation is severe, then the surgeon will make the incision outside the nose, along the grove between the nose and the lips.
When the incisions are made, they will expose the nose cartilage. The surgeon will use them to remove or add cartilage to the nose and straighten it. They will be closed with sutures, and the nose will be dressed with a bandage and splint.

Septorhinoplasty in Turkey Recovery
The recovery after a procedure takes about two weeks. There is no need for an overnight hospital stay after the procedure. The surgeon will give detailed instructions on what to avoid during recovery to make the healing fast and to avoid altering the nose shape.
There is a possibility that a patient will feel some discomfort during healing, but it can be alleviated with the prescribed painkillers.
Are There Side Effects of Septorhinoplasty?
As septorhinoplasties are surgeries, it is possible to get temporary side effects during recovery. The most common one is swelling. It is usually mild but can take up to a few months to resolve.
The surgery leaves scars. If the incisions were made inside the nose, they would not be visible. The scars will fade with time but won’t disappear completely.
Results of Septorhinoplasty in Turkey
After the recovery, the patient can expect their breathing difficulties to resolve, as the corrected septum will not obstruct airflow. The patient will also be able to get their desired nose shape, one that is better balanced and free of defects caused by injuries or other causes.
