Moraza's Rhinoplasty Experience in Istanbul

At 28 years old, Moraza embarked on her rhinoplasty journey from Australia to Istanbul, seeking to refine the bridge of her nose while preserving its side profile. Her cooperation with Bookimed brought her to The Nose Aesthetic Clinic and the skilled hands of Dr. Cem Altindag.

Choosing the Clinic and Surgeon

Moraza went for a Primary Nose Job at The Nose Aesthetic Clinic, where Dr. Cem Altindag, a surgeon with over 25 years of experience. The clinic's philosophy of achieving a "natural-looking nose" resonated with her, ensuring that the results would enhance rather than alter her natural beauty.

Dr. Cem Altındağ is a rhinoplasty specialist with 30+ years of experience. He trained in Turkey, the USA, the UK, Germany, and France and is a member of the European Rhinoplasty Society.

The Comprehensive Package

Moraza chose an all-inclusive package for her August surgery. This package included:

  • Diagnostic consultation and the rhinoplasty surgery itself

  • One night of inpatient hospital stay with general anesthesia

  • Preoperative laboratory tests and postoperative medications

  • Follow-up consultation after surgery

  • VIP transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic

  • A 5-night stay at a 4-star Büke Hotel for two, with breakfast included

How Did It Go?

The process was meticulously planned: Moraza arrived and settled into her hotel on the first day, underwent surgery the following day with an overnight hospital stay, and then spent the remaining days recovering comfortably at the hotel with follow-up care. Despite the pain after the procedure, Moraza felt the experience was worth it, affirming, "I got the nose job I've been dreaming of!"

Moraza's treatment was well-organized:

  • Day 1: Arrival in Istanbul, transfer to the hotel.

  • Day 2: Preoperative consultations, tests, surgery, and overnight hospital stay.

  • Day 3: Discharge and transfer back to the hotel for recovery.

  • Days 4-5: Recovery time at the hotel.

  • Day 6: Final follow-up and departure to the airport.

Verified review.
I had a rhinoplasty in the beginning of September and couldn’t be more displeased with the result. Anyone who intends to do a rhinoplasty with Dr. Cem Altindag should be aware of the following especially if you are looking for an aesthetic rhinoplasty. There is no proper consultation before the operation. The only consultation that happened was in the hospital when I was already changed into the operation garment and was sitting on my bed. The Dr. came into the room and asked me what I wanted. Not that I think that this is a bad question though how shall I as a laymen in a few words describe the outcome I would like to have. As I read comments on other surgeons where people said that they have a Michale Jackson nose I wanted to avoid to have an outcome like that and said that I don’t want my nose to be too small, I also said that I would like if people wouldn’t immediately notice that I had a rhinoplasty, though that the overall objective is an aesthetic nose. The first two wishes might be a conflict of aims though in my opinion it is the doctor's role to then offer possibilities and show the patient what possible outcomes can look like. They should have at least shared the information upfront that no proper consultation is happening and that patients need to prepare their own material upfront. If I had known that I would have created pictures on my own. I am full of dissatisfaction with the outcome. I think that my nose looks worse than before. It is not just that I have wasted the money but also the recovery process took quite a lot of time. I find it completely irresponsible to perform a surgery without making sure that the interests of the patient have been understood. A thing that in my opinion should have been done upfront is to either have pictures or some sort of sculptures at which the possible outcome can be demonstrated. In case you decide for Dr. Cem Altindag you should know that no consultation with illustrative material is happening and that you are responsible for that yourself. I definitely do not recommend Dr. Cem Altindag and I fully regret my decision.
