What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose by improving its form, size, and function. It can be performed for both aesthetic purposes and to correct breathing problems. Because the nose is the most prominent feature at the center of the face, even subtle changes can make a noticeable difference in facial harmony and self-confidence.
At Estecapelli, every rhinoplasty procedure is carefully planned on an individual basis. Our specialists evaluate the overall facial structure and consider facial proportions and balance to achieve natural-looking results. All surgeries are performed by experienced ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists and plastic surgeons, ensuring both aesthetic refinement and functional improvement.
Why Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
People choose rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons, which may be related to both aesthetic appearance and functional concerns. Some of the most common reasons include:
- A nose that appears too large or too small in proportion to the face
- A noticeable hump on the nasal bridge
- A drooping, wide, or poorly defined nasal tip
- Asymmetrical nostrils
- Deformities caused by previous injury or trauma
- Dissatisfaction with the natural, genetically inherited shape of the nose
- Breathing difficulties caused by structural issues such as a deviated septum or internal nasal curvature
At Estecapelli, the aim of rhinoplasty is to create a natural-looking nose that complements the overall facial features while also improving breathing function when necessary.

- Adults who have completed their physical development

The pre-operative stage is essential for a successful rhinoplasty procedure. At Estecapelli, each patient undergoes a careful evaluation to ensure both safety and the best possible results.
Before surgery, the following steps are carried out:

- Discussion of aesthetic expectations and desired results
- Examination of the internal and external nasal structure
- Blood tests and anesthesia assessment
- Medical photographs for analysis and surgical planning
- Temporary discontinuation of blood-thinning medications

How Is Rhinoplasty Performed?
Rhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 1 and 3 hours. The process may vary depending on the technique used.
Operation Steps:
- Administration of anesthesia

Most patients are discharged the same day or the next day after the operation.
