Frequently asked questions

How do I start a consultation from abroad?

Send clear front and profile photos plus your goals via WhatsApp or the contact form. The team reviews suitability and outlines next steps for online or in-person consultation.

What is ethnic rhinoplasty?

It is rhinoplasty planned around diverse nasal anatomies and identity goals—refining shape and breathing while avoiding a one-template look.

How long is typical surgery time?

Many primary rhinoplasty procedures last roughly a few hours; revisions can take longer. Exact timing depends on the plan discussed in consultation.

When is the nose “final”?

Social swelling drops in weeks, but subtle changes—especially at the tip—can continue for many months, often up to a year.

Do you publish fixed prices on the website?

No. Pricing depends on primary vs revision scope, grafts, and package logistics. See the cost-factors page, then request a personal quote.

Is Turkey a safe choice for rhinoplasty?

Safety depends on surgeon, hospital, and aftercare—not nationality alone. Review credentials and follow-up plans carefully.
