Rhinoplasty
in Türkiye

Private rhinoplasty with Op. Dr. Özlem Oymak is quoted on an individual basis. The quote is fully itemised and covers surgery, anaesthesia, Acıbadem Bursa hospital stay, take-home medication and twelve months of structured aftercare. You receive a personalised written quote after your video consultation, before any payment is requested.

All rhinoplasty operations are performed at Acıbadem Bursa Hospital — one of Türkiye's most respected private hospital networks. Acıbadem holds JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation, the international gold standard for hospital quality and patient safety. It is located ten minutes from your recovery hotel in Çekirge.

Safety depends entirely on the facility and surgeon, not the country. All operations are performed at Acıbadem Bursa Hospital — JCI-accredited, the same international standard used to evaluate hospitals across the US and UK. Dr. Oymak is licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, is a member of ISAPS and EAFPS, and operates at a single hospital rather than rotating between facilities. Every patient receives twelve months of direct post-operative access to the operating surgeon.

Private rhinoplasty in the UK typically costs significantly more than in Türkiye, with aftercare often invoiced separately. Dr. Oymak's package is fully all-inclusive — covering surgery, hospital stay, anaesthesia and twelve months of structured aftercare. For patients waiting on the NHS, the practical comparison is also one of time: NHS England RTT data shows many patients waiting nine months or more for septorhinoplasty.

Most UK rhinoplasty patients stay between four and six nights: Day 01 — arrival, hotel check-in, pre-operative work-up. Day 02 — surgery, then one night inpatient at Acıbadem. Days 03–06 — recovery at the hotel. Day 06–07 — splint removal in clinic, then fly home.

Rhinoplasty is associated with very little pain. We use Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA), which markedly reduces post-operative nausea. Most patients describe the first 24 hours as congestion and pressure rather than pain. Prescription analgesia is provided but rarely needed beyond day three.

Preservation rhinoplasty is a modern technique that repositions the original nasal anatomy rather than removing and rebuilding the dorsum. Compared to traditional resection approaches, it produces a more natural-looking transition between bridge and tip, typically results in less bruising and swelling, and carries a lower revision rate. It is Dr. Oymak's first-choice approach where the patient's anatomy allows.

Recovery is staged over several timeframes:

• 5–7 days — splint removal, before you fly home.
• 1–2 weeks — desk work and most social activity.
• 6 weeks — full exercise including weight-training.
• 9–12 months — final shape; last swelling settles, particularly at the tip.

Yes. Functional rhinoplasty corrects deviated septum, enlarged turbinates and nasal valve collapse — the three commonest structural causes of nasal obstruction. Where breathing and aesthetic concerns coexist, both are resolved together in a single septorhinoplasty rather than in two separate procedures.

Every international patient receives Dr. Oymak's direct WhatsApp number for one full year post-operatively. Concerns are reviewed personally by her, usually within hours. In the rare case where a revision is clinically indicated within the first twelve months, it is included at no additional surgical-fee cost.

Bursa offers the same Turkish surgical standard — including Acıbadem-level hospital care — without the demands of a megacity. The journey door-to-door from Istanbul to your hotel in Çekirge is approximately one hour fifteen minutes. Bursa is calmer, greener and better suited to the stillness recovery requires. Most patients report this as a feature rather than a disadvantage.
