Rhinoplasty in Turkey
The shape and size of the nose have a significant impact on the overall aesthetics of the face. However, it is not only the appearance of the nose but also its function in breathing that directly affects quality of life. While some people struggle with structural differences in the nose from birth, others may experience changes due to trauma or aging. For those seeking both aesthetic and functional solutions, rhinoplasty can be a life-changing procedure.
Rhinoplasty not only enhances the appearance of the nose but also improves breathing function, allowing patients to breathe more comfortably. At Smile Team, in collaboration with our rhinoplasty specialist Dr. Nosecraft, we offer personalized solutions that meet the aesthetic and functional expectations of our patients. With years of experience focused solely on nasal aesthetics, working with a specialized surgeon ensures that every procedure is meticulously planned and executed according to the highest quality standards.
What is Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty or piezo rhinoplasty is one of the most advanced techniques in nasal aesthetics and is one of Dr.Nosecraft’s areas of expertise. This method is performed using the Piezo device, which uses ultrasonic energy to reshape the nasal bones. In traditional rhinoplasty methods, tools like hammers and chisels were used to shape the bones, often causing more swelling, bruising, and longer recovery periods. However, Piezo technology allows for precise and controlled reshaping of the bones without damaging the soft tissues. This results in faster healing and minimal post-surgery discomfort.
In addition, the latest technology tour device, used to shape the nasal bridge, works alongside the Piezo to carefully smooth the bone using a cylindrical tool. This allows for the desired shape to be achieved with precision. Thanks to this technology, the overall shape of the nose appears more symmetrical and natural, and the risk of complications is minimized.
Advantages of Piezo:
- Minimal trauma to soft tissues
- Almost no bruising after surgery
- Swelling reduces to a minimum within 2-3 days
- More precise and controlled bone shaping
- Very low risk of complications
Open and Closed Rhinoplasty: Which is Right for You?
Rhinoplasty is typically performed using two main techniques: open rhinoplasty and closed rhinoplasty. Both methods aim to correct the shape of the nose and improve breathing, but they differ in their application and advantages.
What is Open Rhinoplasty?
Open rhinoplasty is a technique where a small incision is made near the tip of the nose. The advantage of this incision is that it allows the surgeon to have a better view of the nasal structure and work with greater precision. The stitches used generally dissolve on their own and do not require additional removal, with the incision usually healing without leaving a scar. The two main benefits are:
- Allows for more detailed work on complex cases due to better visual access
- Provides higher levels of symmetry and control, leading to more successful results
What is Closed Rhinoplasty?
Closed rhinoplasty is performed using incisions inside the nose, leaving no visible external scars. This method can result in faster healing, but it may not be suitable for more complex cases since the surgeon has less visual control of the nasal structure. The two main benefits are:
- No visible scars
- Typically less swelling and bruising
Dr. Nosecraft successfully performs both methods, though the symmetry and control advantages offered by open rhinoplasty often make it the preferred choice. The most suitable technique for each patient depends on individual needs and nasal structure.

The Surgery Process and Recovery
The rhinoplasty process begins with understanding the patient’s aesthetic expectations and functional needs. Initially, a detailed online consultation is conducted, and a comprehensive evaluation is made based on the patient’s photos. Following this, Dr. Nosecraft will examine the patient in person at our clinic in Antalya, perform simulations to understand their aesthetic desires, and create a surgical plan.
The surgery takes approximately two hours under general anesthesia, and the patient stays in the hospital for one night. The following day, they are discharged and transferred to their hotel. Silicone splints used after the surgery do not obstruct breathing as they have air channels and are typically removed on the third day. Casts are removed between 5-7 days, depending on the patient’s condition.
Fast Recovery and Return to Normal Life
- Patients can return to daily activities one week after the operation.
- Light exercise can be resumed from the second week, with full recovery by the third month.
- It is possible to return to work and travel by plane after the first week.
