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.

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.

To say that I was shocked by the doctor's approach to treatment is to say nothing. My impressions to you, just do not wish to experience. The operation was agreed in advance counselling and my wishes. The day of the operation came. In the morning I was picked up from the hotel and with an interpreter, I went through all the analyses. On the question when I will have a meeting with the doctor I was told at 9 am then I pointed out that I am allergic to one drug. But they wouldn't give me any medication before the operation without the doctor's consent. When I was already changed clothes for the operation ( I apologise myself in underwear, in an operating gown ) came the doctor and began to explain to me on his hands that it can not be like this, as I want and he sees it all differently. He began to explain to me with his fingers how it will be. Interrupting the interpreter. The interpreter couldn't keep up with the translation. Hurrying me to make a decision. I replied that I couldn't make a decision without seeing any pictures of what was waiting for me. Then after about an hour of dialogue, the doctor corrected the curvature of my nose on the telephoto in front of me and said here's what awaits you and covered the tip of my nose with his hand. Again we heard my refusal, to which I was told there is no time and I have to make a decision. They told me there was no time and I had to make a decision. My wishes were ignored. What was agreed upon before the operation was changed. My wishes were to correct the curvature and to change and reduce the tip of the nose. The result of the operation is that the curvature was not corrected and the septum remained the same. But the cartilage was grown on the side, which I did not ask for at all, and the nose was visually enlarged and the tip was corrected. Now I'm just shocked with my appearance to say the least. Everything was done at the discretion of the doctor. He ignored all my wishes. Putting me in front of the fact. Without showing me a single photo of what's in store for me. Explaining it to me on my fingers.
