A nose job is a surgical procedure that reshapes the shape and appearance of the nose and, when necessary, also corrects the airway. Most people choose this procedure not out of medical necessity, but because of dissatisfaction with their appearance. Suitability is determined during examination by evaluating the structure of the nose, expectations, and overall health together.
What exactly is a nose job used for?
What problems does a nose job solve?
A nose job aims to correct a hump, a wide nose, a drooping tip, an asymmetrical nose structure, and an overly prominent nasal tip. If there is a problem that makes breathing difficult, the structures inside the nose can be addressed in the same procedure. Which problem will be treated and with which method becomes clear after the examination.
How is the surgery usually performed?
Surgery is most often performed under general anesthesia. To reach the underlying structures of the nose, incisions are made in the skin, and the bone and cartilage are reshaped into the desired form. Which approach is chosen and where the incision is made are determined by the plan prepared during the examination. You can find basic information about this procedure on our rhinoplasty page. Gathering your medical history before sending it to us will make the first consultation more productive. A medical information form can also help you organize your illness and medication history.
What are the benefits of a nose job?
Does a nose job affect self-confidence?
Yes. An article published in Hurriyet.com.tr states that the most important benefit of nose surgery is increased self-confidence. The same article reports that 76% of nose surgery requests among young people arise from being mocked. This figure rests on a single source and does not mean the same result applies to everyone.
Why do many young people consider this procedure?
Comments about appearance during adolescence, peer pressure, and comparisons made on social media can make the appearance of the nose feel especially important. People who experience this kind of distress should clarify their own expectations before considering the procedure. To form realistic expectations, reading patient stories may be helpful.
How are the technical options distinguished?
What is piezo-assisted rhinoplasty?
Piezo-assisted rhinoplasty is a technique that cuts bone tissue using ultrasonic vibration. Because shaping can be done without damaging soft tissues, it may offer a more controlled process for some patients. Whether the method is suitable for each nose is evaluated during the examination. For details, you can review the piezo-assisted rhinoplasty page.
When is ethnic and revision rhinoplasty preferred?
Ethnic rhinoplasty is an approach planned with consideration of the nasal structures specific to different ethnic origins. Revision rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is performed when an unwanted result or a functional problem arises after a previous nose aesthetic procedure. To learn about the related options, you can visit the ethnic rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty pages.
Who is suitable for a nose job?
Is there an age limit?
There is no fixed age limit for nose aesthetics, but the nasal structure is expected to have completed its growth period. Therefore, the appropriate age is determined according to the person's developmental status and the examination results. For general information about the process, you can see the patient journey page.
Which expectations are considered appropriate?
Expectations considered appropriate are those seeking measurable and realistic changes in the appearance of the nose. Since every nose has a different structure, the aim is a result that suits the person's facial features rather than targeting a perfect nose.

What is evaluated during the examination?
Examination covers the internal and external structure of the nose, the condition of the airways, facial proportions and expectations. General health status and medications in use are also important for the plan. Based on this assessment, the technique best suited is determined. For nose aesthetic options, you can see our nose category.
