Rhinoplasty in Turkey – Reshape Your Nose with Dr. Baran Kul
Rhinoplasty, commonly known as nose reshaping surgery, is a facial aesthetic procedure designed to improve the size, shape, and proportions of the nose. It can address cosmetic concerns such as a hump on the bridge, wide or drooping nasal tips, or overall imbalance with other facial features. Rhinoplasty can also be performed to correct breathing difficulties related to structural issues inside the nose. This procedure enhances both facial harmony and nasal function, resulting in a nose that complements the patient’s unique features without looking “operated.” With Dr. Baran Kul’s meticulous surgical technique and focus on facial balance, patients achieve natural-looking, personalized results that respect their identity. Rhinoplasty is often combined with chin contouring or septoplasty when needed for full facial balance and functionality.

What is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty, also known as nose reshaping surgery, is a plastic surgery procedure that modifies the size, shape, and structure of the nose. It can be performed for both aesthetic and functional reasons — such as correcting a dorsal hump, refining a wide or droopy tip, or improving breathing issues caused by a deviated septum or internal nasal structures.
This technique enhances facial harmony by creating a nose that better complements the patient’s unique features — all while preserving a natural, balanced appearance.
Who is Rhinoplasty for?
Rhinoplasty may be a good option for:
– Individuals who are dissatisfied with the shape, size, or angle of their nose
– People with breathing difficulties due to nasal structure
– Patients with a bump on the bridge, asymmetry, or wide nasal tip
– Those who have sustained nasal trauma or have congenital irregularities
– Individuals with realistic expectations and good general health
It is a facial refinement procedure that improves both appearance and nasal function.
How is the Procedure Performed?
Rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
The surgeon makes precise incisions — often inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty) or sometimes across the columella (open rhinoplasty) — to access the bone and cartilage.
Adjustments are made to refine the nasal bridge, tip, nostrils, or septum based on the patient’s goals and needs.
The procedure usually takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity.
Most patients return home the same day and begin light activities within a few days, with a splint typically removed after 7 days.
Incredible Transformations After Rhinoplasty Surgery
See how our patients have achieved more refined, balanced, and natural-looking facial harmony through rhinoplasty with Dr. Baran Kul. These real before & after results reflect not only aesthetic improvement, but also restored self-confidence and improved breathing for many. Each procedure is carefully tailored to the patient’s unique facial structure, resulting in subtle yet powerful transformations that enhance their overall appearance without compromising identity.
What is the Recovery Like?
– Most patients can return to light daily activities within 7 to 10 days
– A nasal splint is usually worn for the first 5 to 7 days
– Bruising and swelling around the eyes and nose are common but gradually decrease over 1–2 weeks
– Strenuous activities and wearing glasses on the nose should be avoided for at least 3 to 4 weeks
– Final shape continues to refine over 6 to 12 months as residual swelling fully subsides
Discomfort is generally mild and well-controlled with medication. Most patients feel better each day after the first week.
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes — the results of rhinoplasty are long-lasting and often permanent.
Once healing is complete, the refined nose shape remains stable for many years.
While the aging process continues naturally, the improved nasal structure typically holds its form long term.
Are There Any Risks?
As with any surgery, rhinoplasty involves certain risks, such as:
– Infection
– Bleeding or hematoma
– Breathing difficulties (rare if performed correctly)
– Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with shape
– Need for revision surgery (in a small percentage of cases)
Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Baran Kul significantly minimizes these risks and ensures a safe, precise, and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Summary
Rhinoplasty is a transformative procedure that refines nasal shape, improves facial balance, and in many cases, enhances breathing.
Whether for cosmetic or functional purposes, it offers long-term benefits when performed with expertise and artistic vision.
