Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty is an operation in which the nose is reshaped. The nose can be reduced or enlarged, its angle relative to the upper lip can be adjusted, the shape of the nasal tip can be modified, and any irregularities such as depressions or protrusions can be corrected.
During the operation, the surgeon accesses the bone and the cartilage supporting the nose through a small incision. Depending on the desired outcome, some bone and cartilage may be removed or added.
In many cases, a deviated septal cartilage can disrupt nasal symmetry, narrow the nostrils, and obstruct comfortable and healthy breathing. When performed under anesthesia together with septoplasty (correction of internal nasal deformities that cause breathing difficulties), rhinoplasty can improve both respiratory function and aesthetic appearance, thereby enhancing overall quality of life.

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Kepekçi is one of the leading names in his field, combining aesthetic and functional surgery through thousands of successful operations. His approach, particularly in rhinoplasty and facial surgery, is based on natural appearance, healthy breathing, and facial harmony. By evaluating each patient’s facial structure individually, he creates personalized surgical plans and aims for results that integrate naturally with the face, avoiding an artificial look.
As the founder and Chief Physician of Özel Meltem Hospital, he has been actively involved in the healthcare sector for many years. In addition to his surgical practice, he is also known for his academic contributions, the physicians he has trained, and his national and international scientific work. His publications and surgical innovations in ENT and aesthetic surgery have contributed to the training of many young doctors.
In rhinoplasty operations, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Kepekçi prioritizes not only aesthetic outcomes but also functional success. He offers comprehensive solutions for complex cases such as breathing problems, nasal deviation, traumatic deformities, and revision rhinoplasty. Through detailed preoperative evaluation, he listens to patient expectations and develops a surgical plan tailored to facial anatomy.
By closely following modern surgical techniques and integrating up-to-date technologies into his practice, he provides a safe and patient-centered treatment process. He also closely follows his patients after surgery to ensure a smooth and healthy recovery.

What Are the Benefits of Rhinoplasty Using a Piezo Laser?
- Enables extremely precise incisions
- Ease of use for the surgeon
- Causes no damage to soft tissue whatsoever, as the incision is made in the bone
- Eliminates the need for the highly traumatic method of using a hammer, chisel, and file on the nasal bone
- Creates a more delicate, refined nose
- Enables a tissue-preserving surgical procedure
- A faster and quicker recovery process
- Since it does not damage soft tissue or the nasal mucosa, bleeding is significantly reduced compared to other methods
- Postoperative swelling and bruising are minimized due to the reduced traumatic effects
About male rhinoplasty
Unlike our female patients, the nasal bones in male patients should not be thinned. Although rhinoplasty techniques are the same for both men and women, the aesthetic goals and principles may differ.
In male noses, the nasal bridge is straight, and it is more appropriate for the tip of the nose to be at the same level as the nasal bridge. In fact, leaving a very slight arch on the nasal bridge in some patients will result in a more natural and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
In women, the ideal angle between the nose and the upper lip is 100–105 degrees. In men, however, this angle should not exceed 90–95 degrees. Reducing this angle creates an upturned nasal structure, which can result in a feminine appearance for male patients.
