Rhinoplasty price in Turkey: €2,250 in 2026
At New City Clinic, the illustrative package price for rhinoplasty in Istanbul is €2,250 in 2026. That is a package price: surgery, the hospital night, hotel, transfers and coordination are bundled together, so you are not paying for each step separately once you arrive.
The figure is confirmed in writing after a free assessment of your photos and history. A primary rhinoplasty, with or without straightening of the septum, is usually quoted around the published price. A nose that has been operated on before is a different operation and is quoted individually. Flights are not included.

Open, closed and septorhinoplasty: what you are paying for
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to suit your facial proportions and can correct breathing problems in the same operation. The surgeon chooses the approach according to your nasal structure:
- Closed rhinoplasty: all incisions are inside the nose, so there is no external scar. It suits hump reduction, narrowing the bridge and moderate tip changes.
- Open rhinoplasty: a small incision on the columella, between the nostrils, gives a full view of the structures. It is preferred for tip work and complex cases; the small scar usually becomes hard to see.
- Septorhinoplasty: the septum is straightened at the same time to improve breathing when the cause is structural.
- Preservation techniques: in selected noses the bridge is lowered while keeping its natural structure. Piezo or ultrasonic instruments may be used to reshape bone.
Which technique is used for you is decided by your surgeon after the assessment, not chosen from a menu. Your expectations are reviewed together on photographs before surgery.
Revision rhinoplasty: why it is priced separately
If your nose has been operated on before, the surgeon is working with scar tissue and altered cartilage, and may need to rebuild support using cartilage grafts. This usually takes longer and needs the open technique, so revision rhinoplasty is quoted individually after the assessment. Send New City Clinic your previous operation report if you have one, along with clear photos from several angles.
Who is a good candidate for rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is for people who want to change the shape or size of the nose, correct a hump, a drooping or wide tip or asymmetry, and for those who also have breathing problems caused by the internal structure of the nose. The nose should have finished growing, usually by the late teens. Good candidates are healthy and have specific, realistic goals that the surgeon can discuss with them. Your surgeon will explain what is achievable with your skin, cartilage and facial proportions.
Some patients combine rhinoplasty with other facial procedures, such as chin augmentation, to balance the profile. This is quoted individually.
Your stay and recovery timeline
Plan about 7 to 10 days in Istanbul so that the splint can be removed and your nose checked before you fly. A typical recovery looks like this:
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Operation day | About 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia, usually one night in hospital |
| Days 1–7 | Splint on the nose, swelling and bruising around the eyes |
| Days 7–10 | Splint removed in Istanbul; check-up before your flight |
| Around 10 days | Return to desk work for most people |
| About 2 weeks | Bruising has largely faded |
| About 6 weeks | Return to sport; contact sports later |
| Up to 12 months | The tip continues to refine; final result judged at around a year |
Glasses should not rest on the nose for several weeks. Cabin pressure changes may feel uncomfortable while the nose is swollen, so fly only once your surgeon has checked you. Our trip planning guide has practical tips for the journey.
Risks to understand before you book
Rhinoplasty carries the risks of any operation: temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness, and the risk of infection and bleeding. Results vary with individual anatomy and healing; swelling can make the nose look different for months, and in some cases a small further correction is needed. No surgeon can guarantee an exact result. Safety depends on a licensed hospital, a named specialist and an anaesthetist, which is why we explain how to check a provider in our safety guide.
With New City Clinic, rhinoplasty is performed only at hospitals licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, which you can read about on the New City Clinic partner hospitals page, and the hospital is named in your written plan before you travel.
How to prepare for rhinoplasty in Istanbul
A little preparation helps both the consultation and the recovery:
- Be specific about your goals. Note what bothers you about your nose, from the front and in profile. Your surgeon reviews your expectations with you on photographs before surgery and explains what is realistic.
- Mention any breathing problems, snoring or previous injuries to the nose, so a septum correction can be planned if needed.
- Share your medical history, including medicines and supplements, so any extra tests are arranged in advance.
- Plan your time off. Around ten days away from work allows the splint to be removed and most of the bruising to fade.
- Pack for comfort: button-up tops so you do not pull clothes over your face, a travel pillow for sleeping with your head raised, and sunglasses that do not rest heavily on the nose.
- Tell your GP before you travel, so they are aware when you return.
If you are wearing glasses every day, ask your coordinator about the weeks after surgery, as glasses should not rest on the nose for a while. Your New City Clinic coordinator sends a preparation checklist with your written quote, and you can browse other facial procedures on our treatments page.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a nose job cost in Turkey in 2026?
At New City Clinic the illustrative package price for rhinoplasty in Istanbul is €2,250. It includes surgery at an authorised facility, a hospital night, hotel, transfers, a coordinator and complication insurance. Flights are not included and the final price is confirmed after a free assessment.
Is revision rhinoplasty the same price?
No. Revision rhinoplasty is usually more complex, often needs cartilage grafts and the open technique, and is quoted individually after the surgeon has seen your photos and previous operation report.
How many days do I need in Istanbul for rhinoplasty?
About 7 to 10 days, with one night in hospital, so the splint can be removed and your nose checked before your flight home.
Is closed rhinoplasty scarless?
Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar because all incisions are inside the nose. With open rhinoplasty the small scar under the tip usually becomes hard to see.
Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing?
If the cause is structural, such as a deviated septum or narrow nasal valves, it can be corrected during the same operation.
When will I see the final result?
The main change is visible once the splint is off and the bruising has faded, but the tip refines for up to a year, so the final result is judged at around 12 months.
Why is rhinoplasty cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?
Mainly because of lower running costs, salaries and rents, and the bundling of hotel and transfers into one package. The operation still takes place at a hospital licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Why do you recommend New City Clinic for a nose job?
Because it is authorised by the Ministry of Health, TÜRSAB licensed and ISO certified, uses licensed hospitals and named specialists such as Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, and includes complication insurance and a written price. For us that makes it one of the best clinics in Turkey.
