Rhinoplasty

Results from rhinoplasty surgery are permanent, as the reshaped bone and cartilage maintain their structure over time. Minor changes may occur naturally with aging, but your new nose shape generally lasts a lifetime.

Rhinoplasty is not considered a painful procedure thanks to modern anesthesia and gentle surgical techniques. Most patients report mild pressure or congestion rather than actual pain during recovery.

In rare cases, slight voice changes can occur if the nasal passages are significantly modified, especially in professional singers. However, under the expertise of Doc. Dr. Hüseyin Balıkçı, these effects are minimal and usually unnoticeable.

Yes, you can speak normally after rhinoplasty, though mild nasal congestion may make your voice sound slightly different for a few days. This temporary effect resolves as swelling decreases.

After surgery, patients should avoid strenuous exercise, bending over, or wearing glasses that rest on the nose for at least two weeks. You should also stay out of the sun and refrain from blowing your nose to prevent swelling or bleeding.

Rhinoplasty is a technically complex procedure that requires artistic judgment and surgical precision. Its difficulty lies in balancing facial harmony, function, and structure — something Dr. Balıkçı excels at through years of specialized ENT and aesthetic experience.

Most patients describe the initial nasal congestion and mild swelling as the most uncomfortable parts of recovery. Pain is usually minimal and well controlled with prescribed medications.
