While initial results are visible after cast removal (1 week), significant swelling persists for months. 70-80% of swelling resolves by 3 months, but the final 20-30% takes 12-18 months to completely disappear. The nasal tip is typically the last area to fully settle into its final shape.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"faq-item\">\n                <div class=\"faq-question\">\n                    Can rhinoplasty improve my breathing?\n                    <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n                    <p>Absolutely. Functional rhinoplasty specifically addresses breathing issues by correcting structural problems like a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or enlarged turbinates. Many patients combine cosmetic improvements with functional corrections in the same procedure. Our surgeons assess both aesthetics and function during your consultation.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"faq-item\">\n                <div class=\"faq-question\">\n                    What are the risks of rhinoplasty?\n                    <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n                    <p>As with any surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, anesthesia complications, and poor wound healing. Rhinoplasty-specific risks include asymmetry, persistent swelling, breathing difficulties, need for revision surgery, numbness, discoloration, and septal perforation. Our board-certified surgeons in Istanbul take every precaution to minimize these risks through meticulous technique and advanced technology.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"faq-item\">\n                <div class=\"faq-question\">\n                    Why choose Istanbul for rhinoplasty?\n                    <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n                    <p>Istanbul is a global hub for rhinoplasty with surgeons who perform hundreds of procedures annually.
