Septorhinoplasty
in Mersin, Turkey
Fix breathing and reshape the nose in one operation — functional component may be covered by SGK.
Function and Aesthetics in One Operation
Septorhinoplasty combines septoplasty (correcting a deviated septum) with aesthetic rhinoplasty in a single session — improved nasal airflow and a refined external nose, one operation, one recovery.
In Turkey, the functional component (septoplasty) is covered by SGK when medically indicated. Dr. Tunç can advise on this during consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is septorhinoplasty covered by SGK?
The functional portion may be covered when deviated septum is confirmed. Dr. Tunç will guide you through the process.
Septoplasty vs. septorhinoplasty?
Septoplasty alone corrects the internal septum without changing external appearance. Septorhinoplasty adds aesthetic reshaping.
Will I need nasal packing?
Dr. Tunç uses silicone stents rather than gauze packing — recovery is significantly more comfortable.
When will I breathe normally?
Most patients notice improvement within days of stent removal. Full benefit after 4–6 weeks.
