What is Septorhinoplasty?
Septo Rhinoplasty, or Septal Rhinoplasty in Turkey, is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting both cosmetic and functional issues related to the nose. Whether you're dealing with a deviated septum causing breathing problems or seeking to refine the shape and symmetry of your nose, septorhinoplasty offers a dual solution. This procedure focuses on correcting the structural issues of the nasal septum while also improving the nose’s appearance, ensuring both form and function are restored.
At Estetik International, we specialize in septorhinoplasty Turkey, using advanced techniques to improve both the aesthetics and functionality of your nose. Our personalized approach ensures that your nasal structure is corrected while achieving natural, harmonious results.
What Problems Can Septo Rhinoplasty Solve?
Septo Rhinoplasty can address a variety of concerns, including:
Correcting a Deviated Septum: A primary reason for opting for septorhinoplasty is to correct a deviated septum, which can cause breathing difficulties. The procedure straightens the septum, improving airflow and resolving nasal obstruction.
Improving Nasal Function: If you have difficulty breathing due to nasal structural issues such as nasal valve collapse or septal irregularities, septorhinoplasty can help restore normal airflow and improve overall respiratory function.
Refining the Shape of the Nose: Many individuals seek septorhinoplasty to improve the shape and size of their nose. Whether it’s adjusting the tip, reducing a hump, or correcting asymmetry, this procedure offers both functional and cosmetic improvements.
Correcting Nasal Congestion: If previous surgeries did not fully resolve your nasal congestion or breathing problems, septorhinoplasty can address these issues while refining the nose’s appearance.
Is Septorhinoplasty Right for You?
Septorhinoplasty may be the right option if you:
Have a deviated septum or breathing difficulties: If you're struggling with chronic nasal obstruction or breathing problems caused by a deviated septum or other structural issues, septorhinoplasty can provide the necessary correction.
Want to enhance both the function and appearance of your nose: If you're looking to improve the aesthetics of your nose while also addressing breathing concerns, septorhinoplasty offers a dual solution that restores both form and function.
Are in good health with realistic expectations: Ideal candidates are generally healthy and have realistic expectations about the outcome of both functional and cosmetic improvements to the nose.
Pre-Procedure
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation with one of our expert surgeons, where we assess your nasal structure and discuss both your aesthetic and functional goals. Based on your needs, we’ll determine the best approach for your septorhinoplasty. Before surgery, you will receive specific guidelines to help you prepare, including instructions on medications and pre-operative care to ensure the best outcome.
During Procedure
Septorhinoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure. The surgery usually takes around 2-3 hours and focuses on correcting the septum and refining the nasal structure to improve both function and appearance. If necessary, cartilage grafts may be used to strengthen the nasal structure.
Post-Procedure
After the procedure, mild swelling and bruising are common, usually subsiding within a week. Most patients can return to regular activities within 1-2 weeks. The final results of septorhinoplasty may take several months as swelling continues to subside, with the nose appearing more balanced and breathing issues likely resolved.

Operation Day: Step by Step
On the day of the septorhinoplasty procedure, the medical team will prepare the patient for surgery, beginning with general anesthesia. The surgeon then proceeds to correct the nasal septum and reshape the nose according to the predetermined treatment plan. After the surgery, the recovery process can vary depending on the patient's age and overall health. It's normal to experience some swelling and bruising around the nose and under the eyes.
It's crucial to follow post-operative care instructions provided by the surgeon to ensure optimal healing and results.
Post-Operative Process
After the septorhinoplasty procedure, patients generally have some swelling and bruising, along with mild discomfort. It is important to apply cold compresses to reduce swelling and sleeping with the head elevated on 2 or 3 pillows.
It's also important to avoid strenuous activities for approximately 4 weeks and to take special care of the nose, avoiding pressure or bumps. Following the aftercare instructions and attending follow-up appointments are crucial for a smooth healing process. The total recovery may take up to two months, during which time patients should protect the nose from direct sunlight. This careful approach ensures effective healing and optimal results from the septorhinoplasty.

Septo rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines both aesthetic and functional elements of the nose. It involves reshaping the nose's external structure (rhinoplasty) while also correcting a deviated septum (septoplasty), which can improve both the appearance of the nose and the patient's ability to breathe.
Septo rhinoplasty is different from standard rhinoplasty in that it involves both cosmetic reshaping and functional corrections. While rhinoplasty focuses solely on the external appearance of the nose, septo rhinoplasty addresses both the nose’s shape and the underlying structural issues that affect breathing.
Yes, septo rhinoplasty is specifically designed to correct breathing problems caused by a deviated septum. By realigning the septum and opening up the nasal passages, this procedure can significantly improve airflow and alleviate chronic nasal congestion or difficulty breathing.
The results of septo rhinoplasty are long-lasting. Once the septum is corrected and the nose is reshaped, the results should remain stable for many years. However, changes in the nose due to aging or external factors may occur, but generally, patients can expect permanent improvements.
In most cases, septo rhinoplasty is performed using an “open” or “closed” technique that minimizes visible scarring. If an open technique is used, a small incision is made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), which typically heals well and leaves minimal scarring. The closed technique involves incisions inside the nose, leaving no visible scars at all.
