Turkey has become a global destination for high-quality Ethnic Rhinoplasty Turkey and carefully planned Revision Ethnic Rhinoplasty, attracting patients from Europe, North America, the Middle East, and beyond. At the clinic of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatih Mehmet Hanege, every patient journey begins with listening: we consider your heritage, your facial proportions, and your functional needs to deliver results that look authentic and breathe comfortably. While this guide is written for international visitors as a whole, examples may occasionally reference U.S. travelers—simply because many of our patients come from there—yet the information, timelines, and care standards apply equally to patients from any country.
What Primary Ethnic Rhinoplasty Aims to Achieve
In primary ethnic rhinoplasty, the objective is refinement without erasure. Different ethnic backgrounds can present characteristics like thicker skin envelopes, broader alar bases, or softer cartilage, and respecting these nuances is key to long-term satisfaction. Rather than forcing a standardized “ideal,” Dr. Hanege designs subtle tip definition, proportionate dorsal adjustments, and nostril balancing that harmonize with your face. The result should feel like you—only more balanced—so friends notice freshness and confidence, not surgery.
Why Revision Ethnic Rhinoplasty Requires Added Expertise?
Cases of Revision Ethnic Rhinoplasty are among the most technically demanding in facial plastic surgery. After a prior operation, there may be scar tissue that alters surgical planes, reduced or weakened cartilage, or structural collapse leading to functional obstruction. A successful revision must rebuild support, refine aesthetics, and protect (or restore) airflow. Using a highly individualized approach, Dr. Hanege combines structural grafting—often with rib cartilage—precise suturing for definition in thicker skin, and careful scar management. The goal is a natural, culturally respectful result that aligns with your face and supports clear, comfortable breathing.
Our Patient-Centered Process (Designed for International Travel)
We keep the logistics simple and transparent so you can focus on healing. First, you connect with our patient assistants or a dedicated coordinator, who will walk you through photo submission, medical history, and your goals. After evaluation, we provide a personalized price based on case complexity. You may choose an all-inclusive package—which typically covers city transfers and hotel—or a surgery-only plan if you prefer arranging accommodation independently. Regardless of the option, our team guides you step by step: scheduling, pre-op instructions, and what to expect day by day.
The usual stay in Istanbul is 7–8 days to allow for consultation, surgery, an early post-op check, and safe travel planning; combined surgeries or complex revisions may extend this timeline. All procedures are performed by Dr. Hanege in an A+ quality hospital, and our patients recover at a partnered hotel with a 24/7 on-site nurse—a setup designed to maximize safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

Planning Your Trip: Documents, Timing & Follow-up
Most travelers plan two to three months in advance to coordinate work, flights, and accommodation. Pre-op consultations can be done virtually (with consultation fee) if needed, and after you return home, follow-ups continue via WhatsApp, with clear instructions for wound care, taping, swelling management, and activity resumption. If you’re combining procedures, we’ll specify the recommended stay and recovery milestones in your written plan so expectations remain clear.
Visa Information (Official Source)
Entry rules vary by nationality. Many visitors—including a large number of U.S. and European patients—can enter visa-free for short stays or obtain an e-Visa online in minutes, but conditions change over time. For the latest, authoritative guidance, please consult the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs: https://www.mfa.gov.tr/visa-information-for-foreigners.en.mfa.

Experience & Facilities You Can Rely On
Dr. Fatih Mehmet Hanege has over a decade of focused experience, specializing in rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, ethnic rhinoplasty, and complex cases. Every surgery is personally performed by Dr. Hanege in an A+ hospital environment with full anesthesia and ICU backup if required. Our recovery partner hotel’s 24/7 nurse ensures immediate support for routine checks and early post-op comfort. Beyond technical skill, our reputation is built on communication: clear pre-op planning, realistic expectations, and responsive follow-up once you’re back home—whether you live in Dubai, London, New York, or elsewhere.
Recovery & Realistic Timelines
Because revision procedures may include reconstruction and working around scar tissue, recovery can be slightly longer than a first-time operation. Most patients resume light daily routines in about 10–14 days, while swelling steadily decreases through the first month. Subtle refinements continue for 12–18 months as tissues settle. Your aftercare plan includes taping guidance, swelling control, sun protection advice, and milestone checks, with WhatsApp available for reassurance and troubleshooting.
