Rhinoplusty is the nose surgery practice and care system of Op. Dr. Kemal Caner Delioğlu in Etiler, Istanbul. The name is not a typo of rhinoplasty. This article explains how shape and breathing are assessed together.
Rhinoplusty is the nose surgery practice of Op. Dr. Kemal Caner Delioğlu, ENT and head and neck surgeon, in Etiler, Istanbul; the name means rhinoplasty plus the system around it. Rhinoplusty is spelled with a u and is not a typo of rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is the operation, while Rhinoplusty describes the care system around planning, surgery, and follow-up.
- Rhinoplusty is a name for a nose surgery practice and care system, not the operation itself.
- Shape and breathing are assessed together before a surgical plan is written.
- An ENT examination looks beyond photographs at the nasal structure and airflow.
- The plan includes discussion before travel and follow-up after returning home.
What does Rhinoplusty mean?
The practice is led by Op. Dr. Kemal Caner Delioğlu, ENT and head and neck surgeon, in Etiler, Istanbul. The name is spelled Rhinoplusty, with a u, and it is not a typo of rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty names an operation. Rhinoplusty describes the wider process around that operation: facial harmony assessment, a personal written plan before travel, practical support in Istanbul, and follow-up at home. The approach keeps one surgeon involved from the beginning to the end of the surgical pathway. English, French, and Turkish communication are available through the practice. Read what is Rhinoplusty and about the surgeon for the practice's own description.
Why plan shape and function in one operation?
The nose has an external shape and an internal airway, so planning only one side can leave an important question unanswered. A profile concern may coexist with a deviated septum, narrow internal passage, valve-related symptoms, previous injury, or long-standing mouth breathing. Considering the two aims together does not mean every problem should be treated surgically. It means the consultation should identify which concerns are structural, which are functional, which expectations are realistic, and which plan is appropriate. The discussion should also cover what will not be changed, possible limitations, recovery, and the follow-up route. The operation may be rhinoplasty, septorhinoplasty, or another option; the name of the operation follows the examination.
What does an ENT examination add?
An ENT and head and neck examination adds information that a front-facing photograph cannot provide. The clinician can discuss the septum, turbinates, nasal valves, mucosal condition, airflow pattern, skin, previous trauma, previous surgery, medicines, and symptoms in context. The examination cannot establish a breathing outcome in advance. It is a way to connect the complaint with anatomy and to decide whether surgery, medical care, further assessment, or no procedure is appropriate. Bring a clear account of when blockage occurs, whether one side is worse, whether sleep or exercise is affected, and what treatments have already been tried. Ask how the findings change the proposed plan and what follow-up would test the result.
Which breathing problems are assessed alongside shape?
| Breathing concern | What is discussed alongside shape | Why it matters for planning |
|---|---|---|
| Blocked nose | When it occurs, one side or both, and whether it changes with position | A symptom pattern helps direct the internal examination. |
| Possible septum deviation | The septum, airflow and any previous injury | External straightness does not describe every internal structure. |
| Narrow internal passage | Nasal valve area, breathing effort and examination findings | The plan must account for support and airflow, not only the profile. |
| Turbinate or mucosal symptoms | Allergy, dryness, congestion and current treatment | Medical factors may need attention before or alongside surgery. |
| Previous nasal operation | What was changed, what remains, and the current symptom | Revision planning needs the history and a careful examination. |
| Mouth breathing or sleep concern | Timing, sleep quality, snoring and other health factors | The symptom may need broader assessment rather than a shape-only plan. |
What is septorhinoplasty?
Septorhinoplasty is an operation plan that combines septum work with rhinoplasty when both internal structure and external shape require attention. It is not a label that can be assigned from a message or a photograph. The clinician must assess the septum, airway, nasal framework, skin, previous procedures, goals, and medical context. The consultation should explain which part of the plan addresses breathing, which part addresses shape, how recovery may be affected, and what alternatives exist. A person with an appearance concern but no relevant functional finding may have a different plan from a person with obstruction after injury. The septorhinoplasty treatment page gives topic context, while online analysis is a starting point for sharing questions.
How does the written plan help before travel?
A personal written plan gives an international patient a clear record of the proposed operation, the goals being addressed, the early review schedule, practical support in Istanbul, and the follow-up route after returning home. It also creates a place to clarify what the plan does not promise. Before travel, ask how long the local stay should be, when the first examination occurs, what happens if the schedule changes, who answers a question after departure, and where urgent local assessment should take place at home. The international patients page explains practical preparation. Travel planning is part of safe communication, but it cannot replace a clinical examination.
What should happen at the consultation?
- Describe the breathing problem, its timing, its side, and its effect on sleep or activity.
- Explain the appearance concern in concrete terms and identify what you do not want changed.
- Share previous injuries, operations, medicines, allergies, smoking, and relevant reports.
- Review the nose, septum, airway, skin, and facial balance rather than relying on a photograph alone.
- Ask which procedure is proposed, what it addresses, what it cannot address, and how follow-up works.
- Take the written plan home and decide only after your questions and medical information are clear.
What does Rhinoplusty not mean?
Rhinoplusty does not mean that every breathing complaint needs surgery, that shape and function always require the same operation, or that a photograph can replace an examination. It does not describe a hospital, a technique, or a promise. It is the practice and care system built around the assessment, written planning, surgery when appropriate, practical Istanbul support, and follow-up at home. The distinction matters because a person should understand both the operation being discussed and the care pathway around it.

Frequently asked questions
What should you mention at the consultation?
Mention blocked breathing, side-to-side differences, sleep or exercise symptoms, previous injury or surgery, allergies, medicines, smoking, and the appearance you want to discuss. Bring relevant reports and describe what matters in daily life.
Is Rhinoplusty another word for rhinoplasty?
No. Rhinoplasty is the name of the nose operation. Rhinoplusty is spelled with a u and names the practice and the care system around assessment, planning, surgery, and follow-up.
Can breathing and appearance be treated in one operation?
Sometimes they can be planned in the same operation, but suitability depends on examination, anatomy, symptoms, goals, and medical factors. An individual plan is needed rather than a promise based on a photograph.
When is septorhinoplasty considered?
Septorhinoplasty combines work on the nasal septum with rhinoplasty planning when both internal structure and external shape need assessment. The exact procedures depend on the examination.
What happens after an international consultation?
The practice can discuss a written plan before travel, practical support in Istanbul, and follow-up after returning home. Ask who to contact and what local care would be appropriate if a concern arises after travel.
