Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital opened in March 2017 in the Altunizade neighbourhood of Üsküdar, on the Asian side of Istanbul, as the 21st hospital of Acıbadem Healthcare Group, a Turkish hospital network owned by IHH Healthcare. The hospital has an enclosed area of 98,000 m² with 350 beds, 18 operating theatres and 75 intensive-care beds, and its official page lists JCI accreditation and a LEED Gold green-building certificate.
The hospital's Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery unit treats aesthetic and reconstructive conditions of the face, breast and body. Two of the unit's plastic surgeons, Prof. Hakan Ağır and Dr. Ayşe İrem İskenderoğlu, list rhinoplasty among their procedures. Acıbadem states that nasal airway and sinus problems are assessed jointly with the Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) department, where Altunizade ENT specialists such as Assoc. Prof. Serdar Baylançiçek and Prof. Murat Karaman list septoplasty, septorhinoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Acıbadem describes its rhinoplasty assessment as covering breathing as well as external shape. Techniques it lists include open and closed approaches, ultrasonic (piezo) bone shaping, preservation techniques that keep more of the natural dorsal structure, and cartilage grafts taken from the septum, ear or rib where support is needed. When a functional problem is present it is treated in the same operation as a septorhinoplasty. Operations take place in hospital theatres with anaesthesiology, imaging and intensive care in the same building.
International patients are handled through the hospital's Health Point unit, which the hospital says works in 16 languages. The international office arranges airport transfers and interpreter support, and the listed surgeons offer video consultations before travel.

As the clinic lists them. The clinic confirms what suits you after assessment.
A secondary operation on a previously operated nose, generally considered only after the tissues have settled, often around 12 months, and frequently requiring cartilage grafts.
Reconstructive surgery to restore nasal structure or skin lost to injury, disease or earlier surgery, using local tissue or grafts.
A single operation that straightens the nasal septum and reshapes the external nose, used when breathing and shape are treated together.
Rhinoplasty in which the nasal bones are shaped with a vibrating ultrasonic instrument designed to cut bone while sparing the surrounding soft tissue.
A group of techniques that keep more of the natural dorsal structure of the nose where the anatomy allows, rather than removing and rebuilding it.
Reshaping of the nose through a small incision across the columella, which gives the surgeon direct exposure of the nasal framework and leaves a fine external scar.
Reshaping of the nose carried out entirely through incisions inside the nostrils, with no external scar.
Surgery inside the nose to straighten a deviated nasal septum and improve the nasal airway, without changing the external shape.
