When it comes to enhancing facial aesthetics and improving breathing function, few procedures are as transformative as rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job. At Erdem Hospital, we specialize in providing tailored rhinoplasty solutions that meet both aesthetic and functional needs. Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this popular procedure.
What Is a Nose Job (Rhinoplasty)?
Not merely a cosmetic enhancement, rhinoplasty is an operation designed to reshape the nose. Whether it’s altering the size, contouring the nostrils, or correcting structural issues to improve breathing, rhinoplasty offers a range of possibilities. Those seeking a harmonious facial appearance or relief from breathing difficulties can find the solution through this surgery.
How Is Rhinoplasty Surgery Performed?
Performed under general anesthesia, rhinoplasty typically lasts between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The surgery might involve either closed or open techniques:
- Closed Rhinoplasty: An incision is made through the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.
- Open Rhinoplasty: A small incision under the tip of the nose allows better visibility and is often used for more complex procedures.
Types of Nose Jobs Available at Erdem Hospital
Every nose tells a different story, and at Erdem Hospital, we offer personalized approaches to rhinoplasty. Here are the main types of nose aesthetics:
- Primary Rhinoplasty: Ideal for correcting deformities.
- Complicated (Revision) Rhinoplasty: For patients needing corrections from previous surgeries.
- Septorhinoplasty: Focuses on improving breathing issues.
- Tip Plasty: Targets only the tip of the nose.
- Concha Surgery: Addresses nasal concha issues.
- Non-Surgical Nose Aesthetics: Utilizes fillers for a temporary aesthetic boost.
Open vs. Closed Rhinoplasty: Which Is Better?
Deciding between open and closed rhinoplasty depends on the patient’s needs and the surgeon’s recommendation:
- Open Rhinoplasty: Offers better visibility, especially beneficial in complex surgeries. However, recovery time may be slightly longer.
- Closed Rhinoplasty: Leaves minimal scarring and ensures a quicker recovery but might not be suitable for complicated procedures.
The Innovative Piezo Technique
Erdem Hospital also offers the Piezo Technique, a modern approach that uses ultrasonic sound waves to reshape nasal bones with precision. Patients experience fewer bruises, less swelling, and enjoy a quicker recovery.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: A Quick Fix
For those not ready for surgery, our non-surgical rhinoplasty uses filler injections to subtly enhance the nose’s appearance. While not permanent, this option is ideal for those looking for minor adjustments without downtime.
What to Expect Before and After Surgery

- Avoid eating or drinking 8 hours prior to the procedure.
- Refrain from smoking and alcohol for at least a week.
- Inform your doctor about any chronic conditions or medications.
