What did Danla Bilic say about her rhinoplasty?
In January 2019 the beauty YouTuber announced her nose surgery herself, in a post on her Instagram account.

[…] I really did have my nose done, I feel very good, and I’m glad I had my nose done.” Güneş quoted the same post on the same day.

WhatsAppThat is all we rely on here. She did not describe the technique, the surgeon or the medical details, so this article does not guess at them. The sections below explain rhinoplasty in general, not her operation.
What her words say about the nose and breathing
The first thing Danla Bilic told her followers was not about appearance but about sleep: she no longer snores. That is a reminder that the nose is a functional organ. When the nasal septum is curved or the airways are narrowed, breathing through the nose becomes harder, and this can show up as snoring or a constantly blocked nose.

In such cases the surgeon may combine shape correction with work on the septum.
Her post is a personal story, not a recommendation. For anyone considering rhinoplasty the decision should rest on an examination and a consultation with a surgeon, not on someone else’s social media post.

How rhinoplasty is done today
Rhinoplasty changes the shape of the nose and, if needed, improves breathing. The main variants:
- Open rhinoplasty — a small incision on the columella (the skin between the nostrils) gives the surgeon a full view of the structures.
- Closed rhinoplasty — all incisions are inside the nose, with no visible scar.
- Septorhinoplasty — shape correction combined with straightening the nasal septum to improve breathing.

Who is it for?
People consider rhinoplasty because of a hump, a wide or drooping tip, asymmetry after an injury or difficulty breathing through the nose. The optimal age is 18–45, and older patients can be operated on if their health allows. Before surgery patients have blood tests, a coagulation panel, infection tests, an ECG, a chest X-ray and an X-ray or CT of the sinuses.
Preparation starts about 21 days before; blood-thinning drugs (only with the doctor’s approval), alcohol and smoking are stopped a week before, and the last food and drink is six hours before the operation.
Recovery step by step
The first 24 hours are spent in the clinic’s inpatient unit. For the first days patients breathe through the mouth because of splints in the nostrils; swelling and bruising are possible. Nasal splints come out on day 7, the external splint and stitches by day 14. For a month there is no exercise, sauna, pool, hot baths or sunbathing, and mild congestion can last 1–1.5 months.
First improvements are visible after 2–3 weeks, healing takes about 4 months and the final shape appears in 1–1.5 years. The timeline below summarises the stages.
