This FAQ section answers the most common and relevant questions patients ask when considering procedures at Nose and Face Surgery. The information below is designed to help you understand the process, what to expect and how decisions are made, in a clear and professional way.
General Questions
We specialise in nose and facial procedures, including primary rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, ultrasonic rhinoplasty and selected facial procedures such as chin augmentation, lip lift, facelift, neck lift and otoplasty. Each procedure is assessed individually based on medical suitability.
Yes. The initial consultation is free and allows patients to receive personalised information without pressure or obligation.
No. The initial consultation is usually carried out remotely using photographs, medical information and, where appropriate, a video consultation. A face to face consultation takes place once you arrive in Istanbul.
Suitability depends on anatomy, medical history, expectations and overall health. Every patient is assessed individually to ensure surgery is appropriate and safe.
Consultation and Planning
Patients are asked to provide clear photographs, basic medical history, details of previous surgeries and any regular medications. This allows for an accurate and responsible assessment.
Example images help us understand aesthetic preferences. They are not used for copying results, but to guide discussions about what is realistic and suitable for each face.
While not always mandatory, a video consultation is strongly recommended as it improves communication and mutual understanding.
Surgery and Safety
Yes. Surgical procedures are performed in appropriate medical facilities that meet safety and hygiene standards.
Anaesthesia type depends on the procedure and individual assessment. This is explained clearly during the consultation process.
Revision cases are assessed carefully. Patients are asked to provide full details of previous procedures, including how many surgeries have been performed.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery timelines vary. Initial swelling and bruising improve within weeks, while full healing develops gradually over several months.
Some discomfort is normal, but it is usually manageable with prescribed medication and proper rest.
Light daily activities can usually be resumed within a short period. Strenuous activities should be avoided until advised by the medical team.
Swelling is a normal part of healing and can temporarily affect appearance. Final results emerge progressively as tissues settle.
Travel and Practical Questions
Yes. We assist patients with travel coordination, airport transfers and accommodation arrangements to ensure a smooth experience.
Yes. Patients may travel with a companion, and accommodation arrangements can be adapted accordingly.
Length of stay depends on the procedure and recovery needs. This is discussed during the consultation.
Results and Expectations
The goal of surgery is harmony with your facial features. Natural looking outcomes are prioritised over exaggerated changes.
Surgical results are long lasting, but natural ageing and tissue changes continue over time.
In cases involving functional issues, such as septal deviation, surgery may address breathing concerns. This is assessed individually.
Support and Communication
Patients are provided with clear contact guidance and support channels for post operative questions.
There is no obligation to proceed. The consultation is designed to inform and guide, not to pressure patients.
These FAQs are intended to provide clarity and reassurance. Every patient journey is unique, and individual guidance is always provided during consultation.
