Depending on the surgical technique used and any additional procedures, the operation typically lasts between 2–3 hours.

Including examination, surgery, and initial follow-up visits, an average stay of 7–10 days in Istanbul is recommended.

Possible Side Effects

Temporary swelling, bruising around the eyes, nasal congestion, and mild sensitivity may occur in the first days. These effects are a natural part of the healing process.
