Although primary septorhinoplasty in Turkey is generally a safe and successful procedure, it still carries some potential risks — as with any surgical operation. When performed by a qualified ENT and facial plastic surgeon like Op. Dr. Mehmet Taylan Güçlütürk, these risks are minimal and carefully managed. Possible risks and complications include:
Swelling and Bruising Mild swelling around the nose and eyes is normal and typically subsides within the first few weeks. Cold compresses and head elevation help reduce it quickly.
Bleeding Light bleeding may occur within the first few days after surgery. Op. Dr. Güçlütürk uses advanced techniques to minimize intraoperative bleeding and promote faster healing.
Infection Though rare, infection can occur if post-operative care instructions are not followed. Antibiotics and sterile surgical environments significantly lower this risk.
Temporary Numbness or Stiffness Some patients may experience reduced sensation around the nasal tip or upper lip, which typically improves within weeks as nerves heal.
