One reason patients can save money by receiving treatment abroad is the devaluation of the currency in some countries, which reduces the cost of surgery and the necessary follow-up consultations. In addition, many rhinoplasty clinics in Turkey provide package deals that include the costs of the operation, aftercare and some transportation to the patient’s destination in a single payment. It should be noted that patients are usually responsible for covering their own travel expenses, including airfare to and from Turkey.
It is important to choose a qualified and reliable surgeon. Dr. Muhammet Dilber, who practices rhinoplasty and is based in Istanbul, has many years of experience and is very popular with patients around the world. Continue reading below to learn more about what his clinic has to offer.
You must first have an initial appointment with Dr. Muhammad Dilber to review your treatment options and your eligibility for them, among other things. His clinic in Istanbul will be the site of this consultation as well as all subsequent meetings and procedures.
Rhinoplasty, like any plastic surgery, is an invasive procedure that carries some risks and is not a cure for psychological issues such as poor self-esteem. People should always consult their general practitioner (GP) for independent medical advice and consider the procedure carefully before undergoing surgery. Depending on the person’s age, health and other genetic factors, the results may change. Cosmetic procedures are not performed on patients under the age of eighteen by Dr. Muhammet Dilber.
About Dr. Muhammad Dilber
Dr. Dilber received his degree from Uludag University School of Medicine, as did many plastic surgeons who came before him. After that, he completed his specialist training at the university’s ear, nose and throat department.
He moved to Istanbul and started working at Safa Hospital, where he spent five years as the head of the Ear, Nose and Throat Center. During this period, he performed his operations at Bakirkoy Acibadem Hospital and Safa Hospital.
Dr. Dilber has performed many procedures during his career, including rhinoplasty, surgeries for sinusitis, pediatric ear, nose and throat problems and eardrum surgeries for tinnitus. He is very knowledgeable and understanding.
How a rhinoplasty works
There are several reasons why people choose to have cosmetic nose jobs, such as rhinoplasty. These may include a large nose, a loose nasal tip, uneven nostrils, nasal bridges or a bump.
In addition, the ability of the nose to facilitate easy breathing depends on the shape of the nose. Dr. Dilber can often treat patients with rhinoplasty surgery if their nose is too narrow or if the cartilage inside the nose is blocking their airways.
As a skilled surgeon in Istanbul, Dr. Dilber can provide his patients with open and closed rhinoplasty procedures. The surgeries are performed under general anesthesia. In the case of closed rhinoplasty, the patient has incisions inside the nose and the surgeon uses an endoscope to provide clarity. Patients with breathing difficulties are often candidates for this type of rhinoplasty.
A small incision is made between the patient’s nostrils to reshape their nose during a closed rhinoplasty procedure. This allows them to more easily adjust the size, shape and angles of the nose because they can better see the general structure of the nose.

A rhinoplasty treatment can occasionally go wrong or a patient may not get the desired result the first time. Revision rhinoplasty is a viable procedure in this scenario.
After previous surgery or procedures, this procedure involves adjusting the size, width, profile, tip and/or nasal asymmetry of the nose. It can also be used to treat a person’s breathing problems.
Revision rhinoplasty is usually performed with grafts made from the cartilage or ribs of the patient’s ear when necessary.

Depending on the clinic and surgeon a patient chooses, the cost of a rhinoplasty in Turkey can vary depending on where they live, including Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya and Bursa. In addition, it is determined by the treatment plan, which includes the types of preoperative monitoring, anesthesia, pain medication, and post-operative care services required.
However, the cost of living in Turkey is usually considered lower than in the UK, as is the average cost of labor and tools. This means that some British citizens should be able to get rhinoplasty in Turkey for less than they would pay to have it done in the UK.
Please note that the Turkish Ministry of Health has established regulations that private clinics operating in the country must adhere to. This means that international patients undergoing procedures in Turkey should not have to forego receiving top-notch care.
Follow-up results and treatment
The full results of a rhinoplasty treatment usually take up to a year to manifest. This allows the new shape of the nose to solidify and any swelling to subside. The remarkable rating of Dr. Dilber’s 4.4 stars on Google is a result of his commitment to helping his clients achieve their desired post-treatment outcome.
After a rhinoplasty, people are usually told to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for at least six weeks and take up to two weeks off work to recover. They will often have a cast placed on their face a few days after the procedure and casts or bandages will be applied for the first month after the procedure.
People can go to Dr. Dilber to see the before and after results of his previous rhinoplasty clients. To learn more, they can also schedule an appointment at his Turkish clinic.
