Rhinoplasty usually involves correction of abnormalities in bone tissue. Therefore, it should be performed after maturation of bones. This achieved around age of 10 years in most patients. If patients do not have a serious severe deformity or a breathing problem, rhinoplasty is scheduled after the patient is 18 years old.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RHINOPLASTY
Is hospital stay required after rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgery that must be performed under general anesthesia. This issue is highly important for patient comfort. As is the case with all surgeries performed under general anesthesia, patients are recommended to stay in hospital for one night after rhinoplasty. Here, the purpose is to completely recover patients from effects of general anesthesia.
Why is surgery so much cheaper in Turkey?
There are several reasons why surgery can be much cheaper in Turkey compared to other countries, such as the United States or European countries. Some of these reasons include:
- Lower cost of living: Turkey has a lower cost of living compared to many Western countries, which means that the cost of labor and materials used in surgery is also lower.
- Lower overhead costs: Clinics and hospitals in Turkey generally have lower overhead costs compared to those in Western countries. This can be due to lower taxes, lower real estate prices, and lower administrative costs.
- Government incentives: The Turkish government offers incentives to encourage medical tourism, which can help to reduce the cost of medical procedures.
- Currency exchange rates: The Turkish lira has historically been weaker than currencies such as the US dollar and the Euro, which means that patients paying in these currencies can get more for their money.
- High competition: Turkey has a highly competitive market for medical tourism, which can lead to lower prices for patients.
Can I get a preliminary rhinoplasty assessment before travelling to Turkey?
Yes. You can send your nose photos from different angles and receive a preliminary evaluation before booking your surgery. This helps the doctor understand your expectations, nasal structure, and whether rhinoplasty is suitable for you.
Which photos should I send for my rhinoplasty consultation?
For a better assessment, send clear photos from the front, right side, left side, 45-degree angles, and a smiling front view. Photos should be taken in natural light without filters or heavy makeup.
Will my rhinoplasty result look natural?
Can I choose the nose shape I want?
You can share reference photos, but the final plan depends on your facial anatomy and what is surgically realistic. The best rhinoplasty result is usually the one that looks balanced on your own face.
How long is rhinoplasty process in Turkey?
The length of the rhinoplasty process in Turkey can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the procedure, the surgeon’s experience, the patient’s individual needs, and the clinic’s scheduling. Generally, the process can take around 5 to 7 days, but it can be longer or shorter depending on the individual case.
During the initial consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the patient’s nose and discuss the desired outcome. The surgeon will then create a personalized treatment plan that takes into account the patient’s goals, nasal structure, and other factors.
On the day of the procedure, the patient will undergo the surgery, which can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. After the surgery, the patient will typically spend one night in the clinic for observation.
Following the surgery, the patient will need to attend follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor healing and remove any sutures or dressings. Patients are typically advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks following the surgery, and to wear a splint or cast on the nose for about a week.
Overall, the rhinoplasty process in Turkey can be completed within a week, but it is important to note that recovery times can vary depending on the individual case. Patients should discuss their recovery expectations and timelines with their surgeon before the procedure.

Posted on Google Patricia GolabTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very happy with the results of the surgery. Thanks to the doctor, I've regained my confidence. I'm in constant contact, which gives me peace of mind because I receive quick answers to all my questions. Thank you to everyone who was there for me and took excellent care of me. ❤️Posted on Google Matt BurkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fanatic! As always. Went in for a few touchups. Dr. Basat is amazing and a real artist. Ata, the liaison took great care and went above and beyond to facilitate everything. Fantastic atmosphere, amazing hospital and facilities, wonderful pricing.Posted on Google Farnaz AghdasniaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had my 360 liposuction & BBL with Dr. Salih Onur Basat one month ago, and I’m very happy with both my experience and result 😊 Everything was handled professionally, and Dr. Basat is highly skilled, he knows how to achieve beautiful, natural looking result. A special thanks to my medical advisor, Sherry, who supported me throughout the entire journey. She was always available and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The surgery was performed at Memorial Hospital, which was very clean, modern, and well-organized. I stayed in Istanbul for one week, and everything was perfectly arranged. The nurse visited me daily at the hotel, which was very comforting, and I also received lymphatic massage sessions that really helped with my recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr. Basat and his team. Thank you again for everything! ✨Posted on Google Jia PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently travelled to Istanbul for a breast lift and reduction at Memorial Hospital, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, the communication was amazing. Sherry, my patient advisor, was so responsive both before and after the surgery, she replied almost immediately every time and was always so kind and helpful, which made the whole process feel much less overwhelming. When I arrived, I met April on the day of my consultation, and she instantly made me feel more relaxed. She was so friendly and jolly, which really helped calm my nerves. The hospital itself was incredibly clean and modern, which was something that really stood out to me and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout my stay. My surgeon, Dr Salih Onur Basat, was professional, reassuring, and made me feel confident in my decision. A special thank you to Mrve, the nurse, who was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond by checking up on me every day at my hotel, which made such a difference during my recovery and showed how much they genuinely care about their patients. The aftercare overall has been excellent, and I’ve felt fully supported every step of the way. Most importantly, I’m really happy with my results so far. I would highly recommend Memorial Hospital and Dr Salih Onur Basat to anyone considering surgery in Istanbul. Thank you again to the whole team for such a positive experience!Posted on Google Rick MercadoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went for a tummy tuck and jplasma in early February and I can’t say enough good things about the entire experience, beginning to end.m Dr. Basat, Ata, and the rest of their team made the entire process as easy and painless as possible. I’m currently 2 months post-surgery and I am loving the results so far. I still have some swelling that needs to finish resolving rand the results are just looking better and better daily. Even now it’s clear the end results are going to be amazing. I’m incredibly happy I took the plunge and got my procedure done here and grateful to the team for their great work and care.Posted on Google Tina ZlatinaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't reccommend enough Dr Basat and his team. I think he should be called the doctor with Magic hands. I am 46 years old and went for upper eyelid blepharoplasty , rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. I was quite concerned as those are 3 surgeries at once. It has been two weeks now and I am impressed with the recovery. I follow strictly all doctor's advice, but I think if it wasn't for Dr Basat's great skills and mastery to only intervene where necessary with minimal possible damage, I would not recover so quickly. Post operative discomfort and limitations are a fact, however on day 2, I was already functional and requiered minimal help. On day 4 I was already not even taking painkillers. I think this is truly due to how the surgeries were performed. I am surprised I have minimal swelling, most of it went away by day 8-9 , no bruises and all my stitches are dry and looking very good. Apart from the Dr Basat being a great professional, I would like to praise his entire team. The coordinator is always there to answer your questions even after the operation and when already back home. The taxi drivers were also very attentive but most of all I would also like to thank my lovely, kind, caring, most good hearted nurse. She came to visit me every day after the surgery in the hotel and provided medical care and emotional support as well. I can't thank enough to the entire team. Everything was really smooth and I had no problems or issues. The hotel was great as well and I honestly find remarkable how everything was organized and scheduled. I would like to post some photos, but I will return to the post in 2 weeks when I think the results will look even better. Again, day 14 now, minimal swelling and just a small line of stitches on the eye crease. I would like to have a face lift also eventually and without a doubt I will trust Dr Basat again in the future. Thank you, again !!! Ps: and my boyfriend is very happy with my new breasts 😄🤩😍 He also sends you many ThanksPosted on Google Sevda KamaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. J’ai réalisé une rhinoplastie en septembre avec le Dr Onur Basat et je suis vraiment très satisfaite du résultat. Le docteur a été à l’écoute, professionnel et rassurant du début à la fin. Le suivi a été sérieux et l’équipe très accueillante. Le résultat est naturel et correspond parfaitement à ce que je souhaitais. Je recommande vivement le Dr Basat !Posted on Google Fiona CollopyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I travelled from the UK to Turkey to have my very aged breast implants removed and an uplift (mastopexy) without replacement, under the care of Dr Salih Basat. From start to finish, the experience was organised, compassionate, and genuinely patient centred. Consultation & Planning From the first contact, communication was clear and practical. Dr Basat listened to my goal, achieving a natural shape without new implants, then explained options, scar patterns, and realistic outcomes in plain language. After the consultation I understood risks, benefits, and recovery timelines, with no pressure or upselling. WhatsApp Support: Fast, Reassuring, and Ongoing One of the standout aspects was the WhatsApp support from the clinic team before and after surgery. Pre‑op: They answered logistics questions (flights, hotel distance, fasting instructions, garment sizing) quickly and sent checklists so I knew exactly what to bring. Post‑op: Daily check‑ins were proactive—they messaged me first, not just replying when I reached out. I could send photos of incisions, and they provided same‑day feedback on swelling, bruising, and scar care. Clarity & Calm: When I was unsure about normal post‑op sensations, they replied with clear, step‑by‑step guidance (medication timing, sleeping position, showering, garment wear). Voice Notes & Reminders: They sent helpful voice notes. Travel Home: They arranged an in person review the day before my flight, confirmed I was safe to travel, and provided tips for the airport and the journey back (compression, hydration, lifting limits). After I returned to the UK: The WhatsApp line remained open for follow‑up questions, which made the transition home feel fully supported. The Nurse: Skilled, Kind, and Unfailingly Attentive The nurse who looked after me was exceptional—both clinically and emotionally. Bedside Care: She explained each step in calm, reassuring language, which took the fear out of the process. IV insertion and dressing changes were gentle and precise. Pain & Comfort: She helped create a practical pain‑control routine, adjusted pillows, and made sure I could get up safely the first time. Meticulous with Dressings: She kept everything immaculate, showed me how to support the incisions while moving, and taught me exactly how to change and re‑secure tapes. Advocacy & Follow‑through: If I raised a concern, she’d check with the doctor and circle back with a clear plan—no loose ends. Human Touch: Little things she did made me feel genuinely cared for. Surgery Day & Safety On the day, pre‑op checks were thorough and the team worked seamlessly. The procedure involved removing my old implants and performing an uplift to reshape and support my own tissue. Recovery was smooth; pain was well managed and I was up and moving sooner than expected. Dressings were neat and the garment fit perfectly. Results I’m thrilled with the outcome: natural, proportionate breasts with a thoughtful eye to symmetry. The uplift restored a youthful position without the “implanted” look I wanted to leave behind. Scars are clean and already settling well with the aftercare routine. Aftercare & Follow‑up Written instructions were clear (wound care, garment wear, activity phases), and the clinic checked in regularly via WhatsApp. Every question—big or small—was answered quickly and professionally, which made recovery feel supported even after I flew home. Travelling from the UK The clinic helped me plan around flights and accommodation. Facilities were modern and spotless, and the team were consistently courteous, efficient, and kind. The combination of in‑person care and WhatsApp follow‑through made medical travel feel safe and manageable. Overall Choosing Dr Salih Basat was absolutely the right decision for me. The combination of surgical skill, exceptional WhatsApp support, and an amazing nurse resulted in exactly what I hoped for: a natural, balanced result without implants, and a recovery that felt truly supported from start to finish. Highly recommended.
