Turkey is one of the most popular destinations for people to travel to for rhinoplasty, which is fast rising to the top of the global cosmetic surgery demand list. What exactly is involved in the procedure, though?

Rhinoplasty entails changing the nose's size and shape, either for cosmetic or medical reasons (the patient may require this procedure if they have breathing problems). The fact that some British citizens are traveling abroad for the surgery rather than staying in the UK may surprise some people.

One reason patients may be able to save money by receiving treatment abroad is due to currency devaluation in certain nations, which lowers the cost of the surgery and the necessary follow-up consultations. In addition, a lot of rhinoplasty clinics in Turkey provide package offers that include the expenses of the procedure, aftercare, and certain transfers at the patient's destination into a single payment. It should be noted that patients are typically responsible for covering their own travel expenses, including airfare to and from Turkey.

It's crucial to choose a qualified and trustworthy surgeon. Dr. Muhammet Dilber, who practices rhinoplasty and is headquartered in Istanbul, has years of experience and is well-liked by patients all over the world. Continue reading below to learn more about what his clinic has to offer.

You must first have an initial appointment with Dr. Muhammad Dilber to go over treatment choices and your appropriateness for them, among other things. His clinic in Istanbul will be the location of this consultation as well as all subsequent consultations and operations.

Rhinoplasty, like any plastic surgery, is an intrusive operation that carries some risk and is not a cure-all for psychological issues like poor self-esteem. People should always consult their general practitioner (GP) for independent medical advice and carefully examine the procedure before undergoing surgery. Depending on the individual's age, health, and other genetic factors, the outcomes could change. Cosmetic operations are not performed on patients younger than eighteen by Dr. Muhammet Dilber.

Regarding Dr. Muhammad Dilber

Dr. Dilber received his degree from Uludag University's Faculty of Medicine, just like many plastic surgeons who came before him. After that, he finished his specialized training at the university's department of ears, nose, and throat.

He moved to Istanbul and started working at Safa Hospital, where he spent five years as the Ear, Nose, and Throat Center's basis. During this time, he conducted his procedures at Bakirkoy Acibadem Hospital and Safa Hospital.

Dr. Dilber has performed numerous procedures over his career, such as rhinoplasty, surgeries for sinusitis, pediatric ear, nose, and throat issues, and eardrum surgeries for tinnitus. He has a great deal of expertise and understanding under his belt.

How a rhinoplasty operates

There are several reasons why people choose to have nose procedures for aesthetic purposes, such as rhinoplasty. These can include a big nose, sagging nasal tip, unequal nostrils, nose bridges or hump.

In addition, the nose's ability to facilitate easy breathing depends on the form of the nose. Dr. Dilber can frequently treat patients with rhinoplasty surgery if their nose is too narrow or if cartilage within the nose is obstructing their airways.

As a proficient surgeon in Istanbul, Dr. Dilber can provide his patients with both open and closed rhinoplasty procedures. Under general anaesthesia, the surgeries are carried out. In the case of closed rhinoplasty, the patient has incisions made within the nose, and the surgeon utilizes an endoscope to provide clarity. Patients with breathing difficulties are frequently candidates for this type of rhinoplasty.

A little incision is made between the patient's nostrils to reshape their nose during a closed rhinoplasty procedure. This allows them to more readily adjust the nose's size, shape, and angles because they can see the nose's general structure better.

A rhinoplasty treatment may occasionally go awry, or a patient may not get the desired outcome the first time around. Revision rhinoplasty is a viable procedure in this scenario.

After a prior surgery or operations, this procedure entails adjusting the nose's size, width, profile, tip, and/or nasal asymmetry. It can also be used to treat a person's breathing issues.

Revision rhinoplasty is typically carried out with grafts made from the patient's ear cartilage or ribs when necessary.

Depending on the clinic and surgeon a patient choose, the cost of a rhinoplasty in Turkey might vary depending on where they live, including Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, and Bursa. Additionally, it is determined by the treatment plan, which includes the kinds of preoperative testing, anaesthesia, painkillers, and postoperative care services needed.

Nonetheless, living expenses in Turkey are typically seen as being lower than in the UK, as is the average cost of labour and tools. This implies that some British citizens should be able to get rhinoplasty in Turkey for less money than they would pay to have it done in the UK.

Be aware that the Turkish Ministry of Health has established regulations that private clinics operating in the nation must abide by. This implies that international patients undergoing procedures in Turkey shouldn't have to forgo receiving top-notch care.

Outcomes and follow-up treatment

The full effects of a rhinoplasty treatment usually take up to a year to manifest; this allows the nose's new shape to solidify and any swelling to subside. Dr. Dilber's remarkable Google rating of 4.4 stars is a result of his commitment to helping his clients reach their desired outcome after the treatment.

After a rhinoplasty, people are typically told to avoid heavy lifting and hard activities for at least six weeks, and to take up to two weeks off from work to recuperate. A cast will often be placed on their face a few days after the procedure, and plasters or bandages will be applied for the first month following the procedure.
