Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) Surgery in Turkey
Rhinoplasty aims to reshape the nose by changing the structure of cartilage and bones. In order to create a more aesthetic nose shape, it is sometimes necessary to cut the bones and cartilages, and sometimes, on the contrary, it would be required to fill in the missing parts and change their shape. It would be right to consider rhinoplasty or aesthetic nose surgery as the most difficult and the most unknown surgery in plastic surgery.

What Is The Procedure For A Nose Job In Turkey?
Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty is the nose surgery performed through an incision in the area called columella at the tip of the nose. In open rhinoplasty surgeries, the surgical intervention area is wider and therefore, there is a chance to make more comprehensive changes in the nose.
Especially in revision surgeries, open rhinoplasty surgery is performed to correct and reconstruct the appearance of the previous surgery.
Closed Rhinoplasty
In closed rhinoplasty, there is no incision on columella, as in open rhinoplasty, and the surgery is performed entirely through the nose. There is no incision at the tip of the nose, so there will be no incision scars while healing. The vessels and nerves passing through the tip of the nose are not damaged, and therefore, there will be no loss of sensation at the tip of the nose and no extra cold feeling after the surgery. Since surgery is performed in a more limited area, recovery is faster.
Types of Breast Implants
If you are undergoing a breast augmentation or a breast lift with implants (augmentation mastopexy), then you will likely be wondering what breast implant types are out there, and what the best choice is for you.
Silicone Breast Implants & Saline Breast Implants
The outer shell of the implant is made of silicone. Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel and it feels more like a natural breast tissue. Silicone breast implants are more preferred as they come in different sizes and are more durable.
The outer shell of a saline implant is also made of silicone. However, saline implants contain sterile salt water. For saline implants, the surgeon first places the silicone shell inside the breast pocket and then fills it with saline solution during the surgery.
These are not as common since they can cause rippling. In case it ruptures, the saline will be absorbed naturally by the body.
Smooth Breast Implants & Textured Breast Implants
Breast implants can be either smooth or textured. Smooth breast implants come with the softest feeling while textured implants have a rougher surface. Smooth implants may move more naturally whereas textured implants can hold the implant in place better.
Teardrop Breast Implants & Round Breast Implants
Round implants are round-shaped and they provide more fullness at the top of the breasts with a curvier look. Teardrop implants are oval-shaped and they come with more fullness at the base towards the chest wall and less roundness towards the nipple giving a more subtle, natural result.
Types of Incisions
Breast implants procedure in Turkey come with types of incisions such as peri-areolar, doughnut, and inframammary incisions.
- Inframammary Incision: Inframammary incision is the most commonly used incision technique in breast implants surgeries. This incision is located in the fold of the skin under the breast. It is usually not visible as incisions are just beneath the breasts.
- Periareolar/Doughnut Incision: This incision is done around the areola. The incision is usually made on the lower half or circle around the areola where a breast pocket is created above or underneath the muscle. Afterward, an implant is slid through the incision, moved into the breast pocket, and positioned by the plastic surgeon to achieve the best result.
Area of Placement
Breast implants procedure in Turkey come with three types of area of placement.
Subglandular placement (Behind the breast tissue):
This is the most common technique of breast implant placement. The implant is placed under the breast tissue but above the chest muscle.
Submuscular placement (Behind the best muscle):
This technique involves placing the implant directly under the chest muscle. Submuscular placement is generally more stable than subglandular placement and may be a better option for women with very thin breast tissue or who are very active.
Dual-Plane Augmentation:
This technique combines the subglandular and submuscular placements as the breast implants are placed directly underneath the breast tissue and partially behind the chest muscles. This technique is generally more preferred by surgeons as it lasts longer.
Results and Recovery Process of Breast Augmentation
Generally, this procedure requires a night stay in the hospital and you can go back to your hotel the following day. It is normal to feel tightness in the chest right after the surgery and the breasts may feel tender and appear as higher. After the first month, they will start to get settled, and at least 3-6 months following the surgery, you will be able to see the results of the surgery.
You will be given a bra to wear for supper after the surgery. In addition, kindly make sure to take them on time if any medications are provided by the surgeon. We recommend not extending your arms for at least a week after the surgery and we recommend avoiding any physical activity or heavy lifting for at least 3 weeks after the surgery.
In addition, a more detailed explanation will be presented and you will be given instructions on dos/don’ts by your personal assistance before you travel back home from Turkey.
