Rhinoplasty in Turkey (Nose Job): Cost & Partner Surgeons in Istanbul
A nose job in Turkey with independent, board-certified partner surgeons in Istanbul, from €2,300 all-inclusive. Clinical decisions are made by your surgeon; Luna coordinates the journey from your first enquiry to your return home.
The aging process, genetics, or simply the nose you were born with can affect both your confidence and, in some cases, your breathing. A nose job in Turkey, medically known as rhinoplasty, can reshape and resize the nose to improve both its appearance and function, at a fraction of what you would pay in the UK or Western Europe.
Turkey is one of the world’s most active destinations for rhinoplasty. In 2023, over 700,000 medical tourists travelled to Turkey for health services, many specifically for nose surgery, supported by a high concentration of trained plastic and ENT surgeons. Luna Clinic Medical Travel Services is a medical travel coordination company in Istanbul: we work with independent partner surgeons who hold board certification and operate at Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospitals or their own private practices.
From your first enquiry, a bilingual coordinator manages your travel, accommodation, transfers and interpretation, while every clinical decision, from suitability to surgical technique, is made independently by your chosen partner surgeon at their own clinical setting. Luna does not perform surgery and does not guarantee outcomes.

How much does a nose job in Turkey cost?
Rhinoplasty cost in Turkey typically ranges from €2,300 to €3,000, considerably lower than in Western Europe, where prices range from €5,000 to €15,000 or more. Most international patients travel on an all-inclusive package that bundles the surgical fee charged by the partner surgeon with VIP airport transfers, 4-5 star hotel accommodation, post-operative medications and follow-up appointments into a single transparent quote.
Beyond the base price, it is worth comparing what each package covers. Luna presents the surgeon’s medical fee and the travel coordination fee side by side, so you can make a genuinely informed comparison with home-country pricing. The final cost depends on the complexity of your case, the technique used, and the surgeon’s experience.
- Complexity of the case. A primary cosmetic refinement costs less than a revision or a functional septorhinoplasty that also corrects breathing.
- Technique. Ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty and advanced tip work require specific expertise and equipment, which can affect the fee.
- Surgeon's experience. Highly experienced, reputable partner surgeons typically charge more for their work.
- Facility and stay. JCI-accredited hospitals and the length of your recommended stay (typically 7 nights) influence the total package.

Types of rhinoplasty
Your partner surgeon recommends the approach that fits your anatomy and goals. Common types include:
- Open rhinoplasty
- A small incision across the columella gives the surgeon full access for complex reshaping and revision cases.
- Closed rhinoplasty
- All incisions are inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scar; suited to more limited changes.
- Ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty
- Ultrasonic waves reshape the nasal bones precisely while sparing surrounding soft tissue, often reducing bruising.
- Septorhinoplasty
- Combines cosmetic reshaping with correction of a deviated septum to improve both appearance and breathing.
- Tip rhinoplasty
- Focuses only on refining the nasal tip, a less extensive option for the right candidate.
- Ethnic & Asian rhinoplasty
- Techniques tailored to preserve ethnic identity while achieving balance, often using structural grafts.
Nose surgery Turkey recovery time
Recovery varies by technique and how your body heals; your surgeon sets your individual timeline. The general trajectory is:
- 1 weekThe nasal splint and any packing are removed. Bruising and swelling around the eyes peak then begin to fade; most patients feel ready to be seen in public.
- 3 weeksMajor swelling subsides and you can return to light daily activities. Strenuous exercise is still avoided.
- 6 weeksBones are stable enough to resume most exercise, with your surgeon’s clearance. The nose looks noticeably refined.
- 3 monthsMost residual swelling resolves and the shape continues to settle, especially around the tip.
- 12 monthsFinal results are visible as the last subtle swelling in the tip fully resolves.
Turkey nose job results & success rate
Rhinoplasty is among the more commonly performed cosmetic procedures internationally, though outcomes depend on the surgeon’s experience, your anatomy and how realistic the agreed goals are. A successful rhinoplasty achieves the agreed aesthetic and functional goals without significant complications.
Individual outcomes always depend on case complexity, anatomy, skin thickness and the surgeon’s clinical judgment. The most reliable indicator for your case is an honest pre-treatment conversation with your partner surgeon, who can show before-and-after examples comparable to yours.
Am I a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
Only the independent partner surgeon you consult with can confirm suitability. In general, good candidates are in good general health, are non-smokers or willing to pause smoking around surgery, have realistic expectations, and have finished facial growth (usually 18+).
If you are considering a nose job to correct breathing difficulties as well as appearance, mention this early so your surgeon can assess whether a septorhinoplasty is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a nose job cost in Turkey?
Through Luna Clinic Medical Travel Services, rhinoplasty in Istanbul starts from €2,300, coordinated with independent partner surgeons, compared with £4,300-£13,000 or more in the UK, or €5,000-€15,000 in Western Europe. Most patients book an all-inclusive package covering the surgical fee, hospital stay, medications, nasal splint, VIP transfers and 4-5 star accommodation. The final cost depends on case complexity and technique.
Is rhinoplasty in Turkey safe?
Rhinoplasty is widely performed in Istanbul by internationally trained plastic and ENT surgeons at JCI-accredited hospitals. As with any surgery, every procedure carries risks. Luna only introduces patients to independent partner surgeons whose board certification can be independently verified, and your surgeon discusses the specific risks for your case during consultation.
What is ultrasonic (piezo) rhinoplasty?
Ultrasonic or piezo rhinoplasty uses ultrasonic vibrations to reshape the nasal bones with high precision while sparing surrounding soft tissue. Many surgeons find it allows finer control and can reduce bruising and swelling compared with traditional instruments. Whether it suits your nose is a clinical decision made by your partner surgeon.
What is the difference between rhinoplasty and septorhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for appearance. Septorhinoplasty combines that cosmetic reshaping with correction of a deviated septum to also improve breathing. If you have nasal obstruction as well as aesthetic goals, your surgeon may recommend septorhinoplasty after examination.
How long is the recovery after a nose job in Turkey?
The nasal splint is usually removed at around one week, when most bruising and swelling have started to fade and many patients feel comfortable being seen in public. Light activity resumes within a few weeks, exercise at around six weeks with your surgeon’s clearance, and the final refined shape appears over 6-12 months as subtle tip swelling resolves.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for rhinoplasty?
Most partner surgeons recommend a stay of around 7 nights so you can have your pre-operative tests, the surgery, and a follow-up with splint removal before flying home. Luna arranges your accommodation and transfers around this schedule and coordinates remote follow-up once you return.
What does Luna help arrange for a rhinoplasty trip?
Luna coordinates the travel side: flight guidance, 4-5 star accommodation, airport and in-city transfers, interpretation, and ongoing communication with your independent partner surgeon before, during and after your visit. The surgical fee, tests, hospital stay and clinical aftercare are arranged and quoted directly by your surgeon. We present both quotes together.
