About Teorhinoplasty
Teorhinoplasty is Dr. Teoman Dogan's signature approach to rhinoplasty, developed over 30 years of surgical expertise and more than 15,000 operations. Unlike conventional rhinoplasty techniques, Teorhinoplasty combines a complete subperichondrial dissection with Dr. Dogan's artistic understanding of facial harmony — preserving the nose's natural structural integrity while achieving transformative results.
The technique addresses both cosmetic concerns and functional issues such as breathing obstruction, deviated septum, and nasal valve collapse. Each procedure is tailored to the patient's unique facial anatomy, cultural background, and personal goals. Dr. Dogan personally evaluates every candidate and designs a surgical plan that respects the natural proportions of the face.
Performed at the American Hospital in Istanbul, Teorhinoplasty benefits from state-of-the-art operating facilities and a dedicated post-operative care team. International patients receive full concierge support including airport transfers, hotel accommodation, and multilingual nursing care throughout their recovery.

Recovery Process
Day 1: Rest is recommended. Walking and outdoor activities are permitted the day after surgery. Mild swelling and bruising are normal.
Days 3-4: Swelling peaks at its highest point and then begins to subside. Mild numbness around the treated area may be felt for up to 10 days and is completely normal.
Days 6-7: Follow-up appointment at the clinic. After clearance, patients are free to fly home. Most patients can return to work within 1 week.
Week 2 onwards: Light sports and outdoor activities continue to be fine. Heavy exercises can resume from week 2.
Months 1-6: Final results become apparent as all residual swelling fully resolves. The nose settles into its permanent shape.
