Barbie Nose Job
A Barbie nose job in Turkey is a modern rhinoplasty technique that aims to create a small, elegant, and proportionate nose with a refined tip and soft curves — similar to the aesthetic ideal inspired by the Barbie doll. The goal is to achieve a lifted, narrow nasal bridge and a slightly upturned tip while maintaining harmony with the rest of the face.

Barbie Nose Job FAQ
A Barbie nose is typically smaller, with a noticeable upturn and very defined contours — ideal for patients who prefer a high-fashion, ultra-refined look. In contrast, a semi-Barbie nose maintains similar elegance but with softer angles and more natural proportions.
Swelling is at its peak during the first week but subsides quickly after splint removal. Most patients notice significant improvement in two to three weeks.
Tip definition and contour refinement continue over several months, with final results visible after six to twelve months. Dr. Balıkçı’s gentle technique using Piezo ultrasonic tools ensures minimal bruising and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
Absolutely. During consultation, Doc. Dr. Hüseyin Balıkçı helps you select the ideal Barbie or semi-Barbie nose style based on your facial anatomy, skin type, and aesthetic goals.
- Full Barbie Nose: For patients seeking a smaller, highly lifted, and glamorous appearance.
- Semi-Barbie Nose: For those desiring a refined yet natural enhancement.
- Days 1–5: Swelling and bruising peak; patients rest with head elevated.
- Day 7: Splint removal; major swelling starts to decrease.
- Weeks 2–3: Return to work and daily life.
- Month 1: Nose continues refining; light exercise may resume.
- Months 3–6: Tip definition becomes more visible.
- 1 Year: Final contour and permanent results achieved.
Not always. The ideal shape depends on facial proportions, skin thickness, and personal preference — Dr. Balıkçı helps determine whether a semi-Barbie nose or softer design is better suited.
Most patients describe minimal discomfort and only mild congestion. Pain is easily managed with medication.
