How Much Does Nasal hump removal Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Nasal hump removal in Turkey generally costs from AUD $3,316 to AUD $4,902. The final price depends on the surgical technique, the surgeon's expertise, and the clinic's location in hubs like Istanbul or Antalya. Patients from Australia save approximately 77% compared to local prices, which average AUD $17,302. Packages typically include the surgical fee, anaesthesia, hospital stay, medication, and VIP airport-hotel transfers.

  • Surgical technique: Advanced ultrasonic rhinoplasty (piezo) typically increases the cost by 20–30% over traditional rasping.
  • Clinic location: Packages in Istanbul may cost 15–20% more than those in regional cities like Antalya.
  • Surgeon expertise: Highly experienced specialists with over 10,000 procedures performed often charge higher premium fees.
  • In-house inclusions: Premium clinics often bundle pre-operative tests and comprehensive post-operative check-ups into the price.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a clinic with international accreditation provides excellent value for Australians. Memorial Şişli Hospital was the first in Turkey to earn JCI accreditation. For tailored care, Dr. Safa Manav Clinic offers packages including 24-hour health support. Some clinics, like Quartz Hospital, specifically recognise and welcome Australian patients. This ensures they understand the specific expectations and travel needs of people coming from Australia.

The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent
The possibility of breathing issues was my primary concern going into this. And honestly, that has been the biggest challenge in recovery so far, with one nostril constantly feeling stuffed. My surgeon performed a closed rhinoplasty. Everything is still very swollen along the bridge, but I can already see that my nose tip appears more refined, which is a great sign. The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent. The general staff were great, though post-op instructions could have been a bit more explicit. I'm satisfied with the medical care I received so far
Dr. Erol is an amazing doctor, his work was amazing he truly listened to my request and expectations and he was really patient and reassuring. The medical assistance team as well, they really took good care of me, they were present when i needed them.
post-op instructions could’ve been explained better

I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter
I felt very secure and taken care of through the entire experience. All of my inquiries were answered very promptly by both the bookiemed coordinator, the assistant, and my doctor (Dr. C Altindąg), is very experienced and talked me through what to expect and analyzed my nose very thoroughly. I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter (I had a severe deviated septum and other complications from a past surgery that he identified and corrected including a mirgrated graft and a droopy tip). I'm still quite swollen but look forward to seeing final results in a few months.

But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts
I liked everything overall. Initially, I was very afraid, starting with the flight to another country, the transfer to the hotel and the operation itself. But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts. 5 hours after the operation I returned to the hotel. Which is also very good because the hospital ward is the worst for me. Exactly after a week I took off the splint, my nose was still swollen. The nose is proportional to my face. When the swelling goes down it will be smaller

To say that I was shocked by the doctor's approach to treatment is to say nothing. My impressions to you, just do not wish to experience. The operation was agreed in advance counselling and my wishes. The day of the operation came. In the morning I was picked up from the hotel and with an interpreter, I went through all the analyses. On the question when I will have a meeting with the doctor I was told at 9 am then I pointed out that I am allergic to one drug. But they wouldn't give me any medication before the operation without the doctor's consent. When I was already changed clothes for the operation ( I apologise myself in underwear, in an operating gown ) came the doctor and began to explain to me on his hands that it can not be like this, as I want and he sees it all differently. He began to explain to me with his fingers how it will be. Interrupting the interpreter. The interpreter couldn't keep up with the translation. Hurrying me to make a decision. I replied that I couldn't make a decision without seeing any pictures of what was waiting for me. Then after about an hour of dialogue, the doctor corrected the curvature of my nose on the telephoto in front of me and said here's what awaits you and covered the tip of my nose with his hand. Again we heard my refusal, to which I was told there is no time and I have to make a decision. They told me there was no time and I had to make a decision. My wishes were ignored. What was agreed upon before the operation was changed. My wishes were to correct the curvature and to change and reduce the tip of the nose. The result of the operation is that the curvature was not corrected and the septum remained the same. But the cartilage was grown on the side, which I did not ask for at all, and the nose was visually enlarged and the tip was corrected. Now I'm just shocked with my appearance to say the least. Everything was done at the discretion of the doctor. He ignored all my wishes. Putting me in front of the fact. Without showing me a single photo of what's in store for me. Explaining it to me on my fingers.

Everything went smoothly
My consultation with the surgeon was clearly. He was very honest about the level of breathing improvement I could expect, which I appreciated, and it was reassuring that he personally handled both the initial meeting and my septoplasty with rhinoplasty. I’m still in the early stages of healing, but I'm feeling better than expected. The procedure was done under general anesthesia. The support afterward has been solid; the clinic gave me a clear aftercare guide and the staff has always been easy to reach. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses beyond what was quoted. Everything went smoothly.
Everything was beyond expectation, from the online support until the day we came back was everything great, no worries about anything, the staff was lovely, the doctor make you feel very comfortable with everything, and translators were really kind. Felt very safe every step of the way.

The clinic and the surgeon did an excellent job managing my care from the very first consultation, and the staff were consistently supportive
My biggest worry was the recovery process itself—not the final outcome, but the immediate aftermath. I'll be honest, it is challenging. My breathing has been completely blocked, which is an uncomfortable feeling. As expected, my nose is still very swollen, with a bulky tip and a puffy bridge where the minor hump was removed. But I was prepared for this. The clinic and the surgeon did an excellent job managing my care from the very first consultation, and the staff were consistently supportive. Even with the swelling, I am confident in the path forward thanks to their skill. The procedure was done using a closed technique.
Dr eroglu was amazing really reesssuring friendly, I had someone with me for translation and felt very supported. Nurse visits were good and she was also brilliant. Highly reccomend.

I can already see that the tip looks natural, which makes me very happy
My biggest worry was that my nose would look unnatural, but I can already see that the tip looks natural, which makes me very happy. The recovery process itself isn’t easy: my nose is completely blocked, and there’s still severe swelling on the bridge, so the final result isn’t visible yet. But the main thing is that the noticeable bump that was bothering me has been removed. The surgeon and the clinic staff provided excellent support at every stage. For me, it was the right choice.

I’m very grateful
My biggest worry was that my nose would look unnatural and that the result wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Now, even though I’m still recovering, I can see that I was worrying for nothing. They removed a small bump, and the bridge of my nose is straighter, just as I’d hoped. I’d also like to mention that the tip of my nose now looks more refined. My breathing has improved too. I think ultrasonic piezorhinoplasty was the right choice. The whole team, from the staff to the surgeon, were very attentive and professional, which helped me feel at ease. I’m very grateful.
We loved everything; the organisation was top-notch. A special thank you to our coordinator, Valentina. They helped us sort everything out and were always on hand. Thank you so much 🙏🏻❗️

The medical support I received was excellent
My biggest worry was what the final profile would look like, especially after having a significant dorsal hump removed. It’s very early in the recovery process, and my nose bridge is still quite swollen, so I can't really see the new shape of the tip yet. That’s to be expected. However, the surgeon and all the staff have been attentive and clear about the healing timeline, which has been reassuring. The level of care was great. While I’m waiting for the swelling to go down to see the final result, the medical support I received was excellent.
My translator Yaren was very sweet and guided me through everything I needed to know and also booked everything for me so I had no stress. My doctor Mr Mehmet also was very professional and found the internal problems for my breathing issues very quickly. Surgery went well and post operation care was optimal.

The results AMAZING!!!! It looks so natural and matches my face perfectly
My nose was large and not an easy case for Dr Cem Altindag to work with. The results AMAZING!!!! It looks so natural and matches my face perfectly. The Dr and his assistant both responded in the middle of the night to a question I sent them after the surgery. That is outstanding care!! I picked Dr Cem because he specializes in noses and is highly rated. I am working to take my daughter there soon for him to work his magic on her nose also. Before and two weeks later pictures!

Even at this stage the tip of my nose looks more refined, and my breathing has improved noticeably compared to before
The surgeon really did take my wishes on board. I had open rhinoplasty to remove a small bump, and even at this stage the tip of my nose looks more refined, and my breathing has improved noticeably compared to before. Of course, recovery is a process. It’s still very early days, and I can see that one side of the bridge of my nose is uneven due to swelling, which is a bit worrying. The staff were generally helpful, although there were occasional minor delays in communication. My main advice to anyone preparing for surgery is to be patient during the recovery period and remember that the final result takes time.

My breathing is better than before, and the tip of my nose looks natural
To anyone who’s unsure, I’d say this: if you have insecurities and don’t feel confident, it’s worth taking this step – the sooner, the better. I entrusted my operation to Dr Ergan Er, who performed open rhinoplasty. Even at this early stage of recovery, I can already see the results. My breathing is better than before, and the tip of my nose looks natural. The whole clinic team was very responsive and professional, which was a great support. My main advice is: if you’ve made up your mind, go to Dr Ergan Er.
Varvara, a very polite and understanding interpreter, provided us with first-class support. She was always in touch with us, and her positive attitude was a great help to us. And we are very grateful to our doctor, Ergin Er, the very best specialist in his field. My daughter and I had long dreamed of seeing him specifically because I had seen the results of his work. In my opinion, Dr Ergin Er is the very best specialist in his field 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻
I would advise the local staff to be a little more polite and to wear a warm, welcoming smile (like Varvara the interpreter), as everyone’s positive attitude has an impact on the patient.

Even at this early stage of recovery, I feel that my breathing is better than before
I was worried about how I would breathe after the operation, as that was one of the main reasons I came here. It’s simply incredible, but even at this early stage of recovery, I feel that my breathing is better than before. That’s the main thing. I had open rhinoplasty, and the whole process, from the consultation right through to the operation itself, was very well organised. The staff at the clinic are caring, and the surgeon inspired complete confidence right from the start. Of course, there is still some swelling, but I can already see positive changes and am grateful to the team for their work.
I’m absolutely delighted; I’ve wanted this particular specialist for a long time, and finally, together with my daughter, we’ve made our dream come true. A huge thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. Dr Ergin Er has a wealth of experience and does his job to perfection.
Everything was fine.

A pleasant surprise is that my breathing is actually better than before
If I had to give advice to a friend considering this surgery, I’d talk to them about the recovery. It’s essential to have comfortable clothes, plan for complete rest, and mentally prepare yourself to breathe through your mouth for a while. I had open rhinoplasty to remove a significant bump, and although the process has only just begun, I can already see that the bridge of my nose is straighter, just as I wanted. A pleasant surprise is that my breathing is actually better than before. The tip of my nose is still quite thick, but that’s part of the process. My most important advice is to follow the doctor’s instructions to the letter and apply plenty of ice.
Overall, I was very pleased with everything – from the staff’s service to that of the doctor and his team. Everything was very well organised. During the face-to-face consultation, the doctor understood exactly what I wanted and carried it out very well. Everything was excellent.

FAQ about Nasal hump removal in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Is it safe to get nasal hump removal surgery in Turkey?

Nasal hump removal in Turkey is safe when performed by board-certified specialists in JCI-accredited facilities. Turkish surgeons often use techniques like ultrasonic rhinoplasty to reduce trauma. Safety is maintained through international quality standards and high procedure volumes. Some surgeons perform 10,000+ operations.

  • Accredited facilities: Hospitals like Memorial Şişli hold JCI and ISO certifications for safety.
  • Expert specialists: Dr. Ergin Er has performed over 10,000 procedures throughout his career.
  • Specialised technology: Centres use piezoelectric instruments for precise bone reshaping and reduced swelling.
  • Comprehensive follow-up: Clinics provide 24-hour health support and telehealth check-ups after patients return home.

Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume centres like Medipol Mega serve over 1,000,000 patients annually. This massive scale allows hospitals to invest in technology like the Da Vinci system. Choosing a surgeon with 5,000+ specific nasal procedures often leads to better bridge width adjustments.

Patient Consensus: Patients recommend three remote consultations and reviewing bridge width plans before flying to Turkey. Most experience temporary upturned appearances initially. However, they report the final shape settles well within 12 months.

Does a nasal hump cause breathing issues that can be fixed with surgery in Turkey?

Nasal hump removal in Turkey fixes breathing issues when combined with techniques like septoplasty or nasal valve repair. The hump itself rarely blocks airflow. However, structural issues like a deviated septum often accompany it. Surgeons perform septorhinoplasty to fix internal blockages and reshape the bridge at the same time.

  • Functional rhinoplasty: This corrects internal structures like the septum and turbinates to restore clear airflow.
  • Expertise: Surgeons like Dr Cem Altindag specialise in both aesthetic and functional nasal surgery.
  • Accredited facilities: Many Istanbul centres hold JCI accreditation for high international medical safety standards.
  • Combined approach: Specialists often use an open approach to access and fix narrow nasal valves.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows Turkey is a top global hub for nasal surgery. Over 14,000 requests have been served through the platform. Surgeons such as Dr Ergin Er have performed 10,000+ procedures. This high volume means specialists have significant experience managing complex cases involving trauma and internal obstruction.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey report that breathing improves once initial swelling and packing are removed. This usually occurs after the first week. They suggest asking for a functional assessment to fix the septum and valves alongside the dorsal hump.

How do I choose the right surgeon for nasal hump removal in Turkey?

Choosing a surgeon for nasal hump removal in Turkey requires verifying specialist qualifications and surgical volume. Prioritise surgeons with European Board (EBOPRAS) or American Board (ASAPS) certifications who focus on rhinoplasty. Analyse side-profile portfolios specifically for smooth bridge transitions and stable results after the splint is removed.

  • Check specific credentials: Look for Fellow of the European Board of Otolaryngology (FEBORL-HNS) or EBOPRAS diplomas.
  • Evaluate surgical volume: Leading surgeons like Dr Ergin Er have performed 10,000+ aesthetic procedures.
  • Compare hospital standards: Select JCI-accredited facilities like Memorial Şişli or Hisar Hospital for surgical safety.
  • Assess technique expertise: Confirm if the surgeon specialises in preservation or closed rhinoplasty for hump reduction.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Bookimed data shows a clear trend where surgeons with 5,000+ procedures often hold higher academic titles. These titles include Professor or Associate Professor. For example, Dr Furkan Erol Karabekmez in Ankara is a Professor with Mayo Clinic research experience. He offers clinical depth beyond typical cosmetic clinics.

Patient Consensus: Turkish clinics are praised for thorough pre-op tests and organised aftercare. Patients suggest requesting front and side-profile photos. They also recommend confirming telehealth follow-up plans before flying home.

What is the difference between open and closed techniques for nasal hump removal in Turkey?

Nasal hump removal in Turkey uses either endonasal (closed) or external (open) techniques. Closed rhinoplasty involves internal incisions. This leaves no visible scars and reduces swelling. Open rhinoplasty uses a small columellar incision. This provides surgeons with full visibility for complex structural adjustments or significant hump reductions.

  • Incision site: Closed techniques use internal nostril incisions. Open surgery requires an external columellar cut.
  • Surgical visibility: Open approaches provide direct views of nasal structures for precise bone and cartilage reshaping.
  • Recovery speed: Closed procedures typically result in less pain, reduced swelling, and faster recovery.
  • Complexity suitability: Surgeons often recommend open rhinoplasty for revisions or extensive nasal tip modification.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists often combine these techniques with Piezo technology. Surgeons like Dr. Ergin Er, who has performed 10,000+ procedures, use ultrasonic tools to shave bone. This protects soft tissue. It allows some complex humps to be treated via closed surgery that usually require an open approach.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey report that closed procedures offer a remarkably quick recovery with almost no bruising. Many suggest reviewing a surgeon's portfolio for hump reductions to match their aesthetic style with your desired profile.

What is the recovery time for nasal hump removal surgery in Turkey?

Initial recovery for nasal hump removal in Turkey takes 7 to 10 days before patients can safely fly home. Visible bruising clears within 14 days. Final results take 6 to 12 months to appear as residual swelling on the bridge and tip settles.

  • Clinic stay: Most patients spend 1 night in hospital for monitoring after the procedure.
  • Splint removal: Surgeons typically remove the external cast or splint between days 5 and 8.
  • Travel window: Plan to stay in Turkey for 7 to 10 days for essential check-ups.
  • Activity limits: Avoid heavy lifting and intense exercise for 6 weeks to protect the nose.
  • Healing period: Thick-skin cases may require up to 2 years for the final refined shape.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists often use piezoelectric instruments for hump removal. This ultrasonic technology carves bone without damaging soft tissue. Data shows this significantly reduces bruising after surgery. It also helps patients feel comfortable in public much faster than traditional methods.

Patient Consensus: The first week brings the most congestion and swelling in Turkey. Breathing improves within 2 weeks. The bridge shape refines steadily over several months. Expect the nasal tip to be the last area to soften and settle completely.

How is the nasal hump removed during surgery in Turkey?

Surgeons in Turkey remove a nasal hump by reducing the underlying bone and cartilage through rhinoplasty. Specialists use either an open approach for visibility or a closed endonasal technique to avoid external scarring. This procedure typically costs from $2,300 to $3,400. This offers significant savings compared to the $12,000 Australian average.

  • Technique selection: Surgeons choose between open or closed rhinoplasty based on the hump size.
  • Structural reshaping: Specialists remove cartilage and shave bone to create a smoother nasal bridge.
  • Ultrasonic technology: Many clinics use Piezo devices to sculpt bone without damaging soft tissue.
  • Refinement steps: Surgeons often narrow the bridge and refine the tip for facial balance.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists often aim for a slightly more upturned tip during surgery. This is a deliberate strategy because the nasal tip naturally descends a few millimetres as swelling subsides. Surgeons like Dr Ergin Er, who has performed 10,000+ procedures, use this approach to help the final result look balanced after the 12-month healing period.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey find the bridge narrowing and tip refinement create a natural look. They suggest confirming if nose retainers and post-op medications are included in your package. Expect heavy swelling at the tip and a year-long wait for the final settled shape.

Can a nasal hump be removed without surgery in Turkey?

A nasal hump cannot be physically removed without surgery. Non-surgical rhinoplasty at Turkish clinics can camouflage a dorsal hump using hyaluronic acid fillers. However, permanent removal of bone or cartilage requires surgery by plastic surgeons or ENT specialists.

  • Non-surgical camouflage: Dermal fillers even out the bridge to disguise small humps temporarily.
  • Temporary results: Filler injections typically last 12–18 months and require periodic maintenance.
  • Surgical removal: Permanent hump reduction involves shaving cartilage or performing a bony osteotomy.
  • Specialist expertise: Surgeons like Dr. Ergin Er have performed 10,000+ aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists perform more than simple bone shaving to prevent the nose looking too wide. Experienced surgeons at centres like Istanbul Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Center usually combine hump removal with nasal bone narrowing. This approach avoids a flat-looking bridge and creates a natural, balanced profile.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey report that filler is excellent for immediate, short-term results. However, most eventually choose surgery. This is because true removal involves structural bone work that injections cannot achieve.
