I wanted to give you detailed information about the nose-surgery process I went through about six months ago, and share what I experienced during that time.
What did Meryem Can say about her nose job?
On her own YouTube channel, Meryem Can posted a video titled “6 AYLIK BURUN AMELİYATI SÜRECİ VE HAKKIMDA ÇIKAN YALAN HABERLER!” (“6-Month Nose-Surgery Process and the Fake News About Me!”).

WhatsAppIn it she said: “Yaklaşık 6 ay önce gerçekleştirdiğim burun ameliyatı süreci hakkında sizlere detaylı bilgi vermek ve bu süreçte yaşadıklarımı paylaşmak istedim.” (“I wanted to give you detailed information about the nose-surgery process I went through about six months ago, and share what I experienced during that time.”) She also addressed rumours that had circulated about her while she was recovering.
That is the whole basis of this article. Meryem Can said she had rhinoplasty roughly six months before the video but did not state an exact date, name the clinic or describe the surgical technique, so this article does not guess at them.
Why she addressed the rumours directly
Meryem Can made the video specifically to respond to false stories that had spread about her during her recovery, rather than letting speculation stand uncorrected. Choosing to speak about the process herself, in detail, is a more reliable source than rumours — which is also why this article relies only on her own account rather than on guesses about her appearance.

Six months after a rhinoplasty is roughly the point at which most of the visible healing has already happened, even though the nose can keep settling for longer, which is consistent with her choice to speak about the process at that stage rather than immediately after surgery.

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 and imaging of the nose and sinuses; preparation starts about three weeks beforehand, and alcohol and smoking are stopped a week before.
Recovery step by step
The first day is usually spent under observation at the clinic after surgery, under general anaesthesia lasting 1.5–3 hours. In the following days some swelling and bruising are common, as with any nasal surgery; for several weeks, exercise, sauna, pool and sun exposure are avoided while the tissues settle. The final result, once the tissues have fully stabilised, is judged at 1–1.5 years.
How recovery after rhinoplasty usually goes
- Day of surgeryGeneral anaesthesia, 1.5–3 hours, followed by one day of observation at the clinic.
- First daysSwelling and bruising are common, as with any nasal surgery.
- First weeksNo exercise, sauna, pool or sun exposure while the tissues settle.
- Around 6 monthsMost visible healing has usually happened, as in Meryem Can's own account.
