Rhinoplasty has become one of the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedures in Turkey and worldwide. ENT Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Emre Dinç stated that rhinoplasty is in demand not only in Turkey but also around the world.
ENT Specialist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dinç stated that the increasing demand also makes an important contribution to international patients.
THERE IS AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF PATIENTS COMING, ESPECIALLY TO ISTANBUL
Compared with the rest of the world, the presence of experienced surgeons in rhinoplasty surgery in our country, the availability of many well-equipped hospitals where these operations can be performed, careful preoperative and postoperative care, historical and touristic places that patients can visit during the postoperative recovery period, numerous comfortable accommodation options, and surgery prices that are affordable considering this level of quality are among the reasons why an increasing number of patients come to our country, especially Istanbul, for surgery.
WE HAVE REACHED AN INFLUENTIAL POSITION ON THE INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM
The frequent occurrence of nasal deformities in the geography where our country is located, the variety of nasal deformities, and the fact that breathing problems often accompany nasal deformities have led to rhinoplasty surgeries being performed frequently and have allowed surgeons working in this field to gain experience.
At the same time, in recent years, Turkish physicians have made significant scientific contributions to the literature on rhinoplasty with their increasing experience, have been invited as speakers to international meetings, and have attracted attention. For these reasons, our country has reached an influential position on the international platform in this field.
WHICH COUNTRIES DO MOST PATIENTS COME FROM FOR RHINOPLASTY?
Rhinoplasty patients coming to our country mainly come from Europe, Middle Eastern countries, and Russia, while a smaller number also come from distant countries such as the USA, Australia, and Canada. Among those coming for rhinoplasty, the Turkish population living in Europe holds an important place among patients coming from Europe.
There are many modern and well-equipped healthcare centers in our country with trained staff capable of treating patients coming from abroad. Most of these institutions meet global standards in terms of both medical and hospitality services.
BOTH HEALTH AND TOURISM
Factors such as our country’s rich historical and touristic attractions and shopping opportunities also positively affect international patients.
Patients can spend the period after the operation until they return to their countries sightseeing, so their visit for healthcare purposes has also turned into a tourist trip. When all factors are evaluated, it would not be wrong to say that our country has become an attractive destination for rhinoplasty surgeries and has reached a strong position.
