About the clinic

Balloon sinuplasty at Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked sinuses and improve breathing. Treatment in Istanbul may cost around $2,800 for one side or typically runs $4,000 for both sides. The procedure is performed by Prof. Dr. Salim Yuce, who has over 25 years of experience and has performed 1,000+ ENT treatments.

Expert ENT Care in Istanbul

Prof. Dr. Salim Yuce leads the sinus surgery team at Lokman Hekim. He is a member of the American College of Surgeons and the European Rhinology Society. With over 25 years of practice, he specializes in nasal polyps and complex ear surgeries. The hospital holds JCI accreditation and the DIN EN ISO 9001 certificate from TÜV NORD CERT. These credentials show a high level of safety and patient care. The facility has a 4.4 rating from 80+ patient reviews.

Balloon Sinuplasty Options and Inclusions

Patients can choose between different treatment levels based on their needs. A single-side procedure costs around $2,800, while a double-sided surgery is around $4,000. An all-inclusive package is available for about $4,300. These packages help with travel needs by including several services:

Hospital and Hotel Stays: Packages include up to 2 nights in the hospital and 3 nights in a hotel.
Medical Exams: Preoperative tests and a consultation with an anesthesia specialist are included.
Logistics: Patients receive VIP airport transfers and help from an interpreter.
Follow-up Care: A free control examination is provided after the surgery to check recovery.

Treatment Approach and Alternatives

The surgery uses a small balloon to gently dilate sinus openings under general anesthesia. This method avoids cutting tissue and helps patients recover faster. In some cases, Prof. Dr. Salim Yuce may suggest Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS). This alternative is sometimes paired with turbinate radiofrequency therapy for better results in complex sinus cases. The medical team decides on the best method after a physical examination and consultation. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personal treatment plan.

Everything went smoothly

My consultation with the surgeon was clearly. He was very honest about the level of breathing improvement I could expect, which I appreciated, and it was reassuring that he personally handled both the initial meeting and my septoplasty with rhinoplasty. I’m still in the early stages of healing, but I'm feeling better than expected. The procedure was done under general anesthesia. The support afterward has been solid; the clinic gave me a clear aftercare guide and the staff has always been easy to reach. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses beyond what was quoted. Everything went smoothly.

Everything was beyond expectation, from the online support until the day we came back was everything great, no worries about anything, the staff was lovely, the doctor make you feel very comfortable with everything, and translators were really kind. Felt very safe every step of the way.

Even at this stage the tip of my nose looks more refined, and my breathing has improved noticeably compared to before

The surgeon really did take my wishes on board. I had open rhinoplasty to remove a small bump, and even at this stage the tip of my nose looks more refined, and my breathing has improved noticeably compared to before. Of course, recovery is a process. It’s still very early days, and I can see that one side of the bridge of my nose is uneven due to swelling, which is a bit worrying. The staff were generally helpful, although there were occasional minor delays in communication. My main advice to anyone preparing for surgery is to be patient during the recovery period and remember that the final result takes time.

I cannot put into words how amazed I am at the results of my surgery & what it has done for me, it has literally given me my life back

The entire experience, from the first contact with Bookimed & Zekra, my medical coordinator, was outstanding. The care, support, and attention to every question were impeccable. When I was referred to Lokman Hekim Hospital to Dr. Yaman, I had a video call with him, supported by the translator Ismail, where my surgery was discussed in detail. Upon arrival in Istanbul, we were met and taken directly to the hospital, where Ismail greeted us and assisted with registration and settling in. I then underwent various preoperative tests to prepare for the surgery the following morning. The hospital room was like a luxury hotel room and spotlessly clean. On the morning of the surgery, I met the doctor, who turned out to be a wonderful, friendly person and immediately put me at ease. The postoperative care was excellent and the medical staff was superb. The next day, we were taken to a hotel, which was included for 3 nights in the cost. We chose to stay for an additional 5 nights. The hotel was wonderful, and the staff was very helpful and attentive. I visited the hospital multiple times, which provided transportation to and from the hotel, and at each visit, we were met at the door by Ismail and accompanied to Dr. Yaman. I had a final meeting with him on the morning we flew home, during which the stitches were removed, and then we were taken to the airport. I cannot express how amazed I am at the results of my surgery and what it has done for me; it literally gave me my life back. I cannot praise the entire experience enough, and I am very grateful to Zekra, Ismail, and especially Dr. Yaman.
