What a closed rhinoplasty package is

Closed rhinoplasty — endonasal rhinoplasty — changes the shape of the nose through cuts inside the nostrils. There is no step across the columella. Typical work on this stay is a bony or cartilaginous hump, some bridge width, and a tip that the surgeon can still reach from inside. It is not filler (liquid rhinoplasty), not a millimetre-perfect profile, and not an automatic open approach. Open rhinoplasty, with a small columellar cut, is a different stay if the tip or the middle vault needs that view.

The written offer from your treating hospital or clinic should confirm that the plan is for closed rhinoplasty. Open, revision or graft work is a different scope unless written into the plan. Piezo bone work is included only if the provider names it in writing; it is not a promise of fewer bruises or a different profile. Who operates belongs on the paper, not in a slogan.

Who this package is for

Surgeons usually consider adults whose facial growth has finished and whose change is still reachable through an endonasal approach: a dorsal hump, a modest crookedness, or a tip that does not need a wide open dissection. A blocked airway can be addressed in the same sitting if the septum is on the plan. Thick skin, a very weak tip, or a previous nose operation often needs open or revision work instead — that is not this quote.

The operation is often postponed if growth is not finished, if the team has asked you to stop smoking, or if a long-term condition makes a general anaesthetic less safe. Send daylight photographs — front, both sides and from below — without a filter. Suitability, and whether closed still fits, is confirmed in Istanbul before anyone operates.

What sits outside the quote

Open rhinoplasty, revision work, grafts, chin surgery or a second operation are outside this closed-rhinoplasty scope unless the written plan names them. Septoplasty is not included unless separately stated. Piezo bone work is not automatic and is included only if the provider names it in writing. Packing, if used, is decided by the surgeon; no fixed duration is promised. A profile result cannot be guaranteed.

Theatre, anaesthetic and nights in Istanbul

Plan five to seven days in the city. That window covers the in-person assessment, the operation, the first dressings and the splint coming off around day seven, then clearance to fly. The hospital night, if there is one, sits inside those days; it does not replace them. Confirm how many hotel nights are in writing. Leave room for an extra night if the team asks. Seven to ten nights belong to longer body operations, not this nose stay.

Theatre time for a primary closed rhinoplasty is usually one and a half to three hours under general anaesthetic. Adding septal work or a more intricate bony map can take longer. Discharge is signed by the surgeon — it is not an advertising date.

Recovery after you fly home

The first week is swelling, bruising and a blocked-nose feeling. Sleep with your head raised if you were shown that. No glasses that press on the bridge, no gym, no blowing the nose hard, until the discharge note says so. The splint usually comes off around day seven; the profile you see that morning is not the final one. Desk work is often possible after one to two weeks if the surgeon agrees. Strenuous gym commonly waits four to six weeks. Contact sport waits longer. Shape settles over three to twelve months. None of that is a millimetre guarantee.

Red flags after you return — spreading redness, pus, a temperature that persists, a sudden heavy bleed, pain that is getting worse, or breathlessness — mean a local clinician or A&E first, then your coordinator. Take the discharge note with you.

Package scope and the primary rhinoplasty price guide

This all-inclusive closed rhinoplasty package is aligned with the primary rhinoplasty price guide. The procedure guide is 2,800–5,800 EUR; the package guide is 3,300–6,300 EUR because it adds the named Istanbul stay support, hotel and private transfer scope shown in the written plan.

The package should not be compared with revision rhinoplasty, rib-graft planning, chin surgery or a second facial operation. Those items change the medical scope and need their own written quote. If the surgeon decides that an open approach is safer than a closed approach, the written plan should say so before the package is accepted.

Questions from you

These notes answer questions people raise before they accept a written treatment plan. They describe what that plan should make clear. They are not a promise that any partner hospital uses a particular technique, device or payment arrangement. With your consent, an enquiry may be shared with an authorised healthcare partner.

How will my nasal breathing be examined before surgery?

AAO-HNS guidance asks that nasal blockage be assessed on its own when a change in shape is being discussed. A written examination should separate the contribution of the septum, the inferior turbinates, the internal nasal valve and the external nasal valve. “The septum is bent” does not cover those four. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

How will the airway be protected or corrected while the shape changes?

Taking the bridge down too far can narrow the internal valve. Weakening the tip cartilages can spoil both the shape and the breathing. A cosmetic reduction and any valve or septal repair belong in the same written plan, so one is not discovered later as a side effect of the other. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

If this is a revision, will earlier records be reviewed, and where would a graft come from?

If septal cartilage has not already been used, it is the first source to look at. When the septum is not enough, ear cartilage is used for the tip and rib cartilage for larger structural support. A rib graft leaves an extra wound and pain. Ear cartilage can change the contour of the ear. A second source should not be chosen until the old note, and where any previous graft was placed, is known. Source: AAO-HNS rhinoplasty guideline.

If I bleed, develop an infection or cannot breathe properly after I fly home, who follows that up and who pays?

The NHS asks people having cosmetic surgery abroad to get in writing where a complication would be reviewed, what further surgery and a return journey would cost, and whether the clinic’s insurance covers the patient. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications. Follow-up after surgery in the UK is the surgeon’s responsibility. A clinic abroad may not offer the same follow-up or a doctor in your own country. The NHS uses 7–10 days after facial surgery as a planning window before flying, because of clot risk. Your own surgeon gives the personal clearance. Bleeding that will not stop, sudden narrowing of the airway, fever and a wound that opens need prompt review. A photograph is not a substitute for examination and endoscopy. This page does not say that any partner pays for revision surgery or the flight. Source: NHS advice on cosmetic surgery abroad.

Can rhinoplasty temporarily affect my sense of smell or taste?

Yes. Nasal swelling and crusting can temporarily reduce smell and taste while the inside of the nose heals; NHS hospital aftercare guidance says this often improves over the following weeks. An altered sense of smell is also listed among possible complications, so persistent, worsening or otherwise concerning changes should be discussed with the surgical team rather than assumed to be routine. Follow the nose-care instructions you were given and do not put anything inside the nose unless advised. NHS nasal surgery aftercare and NHS rhinoplasty guidance.

Why can my nose look uneven while swelling is going down?

Swelling does not always settle evenly, so the nose can look temporarily uneven as healing progresses. The shape seen when the splint comes off is not the final contour; refinement takes months and can continue for up to a year. That does not prove that an irregularity is only swelling, so raise a new or persistent concern at follow-up, and contact the surgeon sooner if you have worsening pain, bleeding, fever or breathing difficulty. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery overview.

How long does tip swelling last after rhinoplasty?

There is no single date when tip swelling disappears. Initial swelling often improves over the first weeks, while the finer nasal contour can take many months to emerge and may continue refining for up to a year. Skin thickness and the operation performed can affect the pace, so the early shape should not be treated as the final result. Keep scheduled reviews and ask the surgeon to assess swelling that is worsening, one-sided with increasing pain, or accompanied by fever or breathing problems. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery guidance.

When can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?

Wait until your surgical team says glasses can rest on the bridge; there is no safe universal date for every operation. Pressure on the nose can matter while the bones and tissues are healing, and the plan may differ depending on what was done. Ask whether you should use cheek or forehead support and for how long. If you have already worn glasses and notice new pain, a change in shape or breathing, contact the team for advice. UC Davis rhinoplasty aftercare.

When is it too early to judge whether I need revision rhinoplasty?

It is often too early to judge the final shape in the first weeks or months because swelling can hide the result and nasal contour may continue to refine for up to a year. A concern about breathing, healing or a sudden change should still be raised promptly; waiting for swelling to settle is not a reason to ignore symptoms. The surgeon who knows what was changed can review the operation and healing before discussing whether revision is appropriate. ASPS rhinoplasty recovery guidance.

How accurate is a 3D rhinoplasty simulation?

A 3D simulation can help you and the surgeon discuss a goal, but it cannot guarantee the nose you will have after surgery. In one small study of 40 patients, reviewers preferred the actual postoperative result to the simulation in most cases, even though the authors considered simulation useful for communication and planning. Real healing, anatomy and surgical judgement affect the result, and a simulation does not show every functional or recovery issue. Ask the surgeon which parts of the image are achievable aims, what may differ, and how breathing will be assessed separately. Three-dimensional imaging study in rhinoplasty.
