Our interpreter support continues not only before the surgery, but also after you leave the operating room and return to your room, during your care, during doctor briefings, and whenever you may need it.

Your rhinoplasty surgery is performed at Istanbul Medipol Mega University Hospital, which is JCI-accredited.

Post-Operative Care
After surgery, all our patients stay in the hospital for 1 night. The next day your doctor’s visit is performed; medication use and care instructions are explained in detail and demonstrated practically by the nurses. Once all your checks are completed and everything looks good, your discharge procedures are carried out. If you are staying at your hotel, for the first 3–4 days you will be monitored by sending daily photos to our doctor. In this way, we make sure that your healing process is progressing as it should.
Follow-Up Appointments
You come to our clinic for a check-up 6–7 days after surgery. During this visit, your cast is removed and your general healing process is evaluated. Then re-taping and any necessary care are done. General instructions are reminded again.

Starting from 1994, JCI began providing accreditation services to healthcare institutions worldwide via JCAH, and today it operates in more than one hundred countries. Joint Commission International (JCI) defines, measures, and shares best practices in the fields of quality and patient safety worldwide.

The standards for Medical Professional Education and Human Subjects Research Programs for Academic Medical Center Hospitals have been published for centers and institutions providing such services. These standards also provide a framework not only for quality and patient-safety activities in Academic Medical Center Hospitals, but also for medical education and research conducted on human subjects. At Medipol Mega University Hospital, which provides medical education, all of these standards began to be implemented as of 2013.
