The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent
The possibility of breathing issues was my primary concern going into this. And honestly, that has been the biggest challenge in recovery so far, with one nostril constantly feeling stuffed. My surgeon performed a closed rhinoplasty. Everything is still very swollen along the bridge, but I can already see that my nose tip appears more refined, which is a great sign. The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent. The general staff were great, though post-op instructions could have been a bit more explicit. I'm satisfied with the medical care I received so far
Dr. Erol is an amazing doctor, his work was amazing he truly listened to my request and expectations and he was really patient and reassuring. The medical assistance team as well, they really took good care of me, they were present when i needed them.
post-op instructions could’ve been explained better

I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter
I felt very secure and taken care of through the entire experience. All of my inquiries were answered very promptly by both the bookiemed coordinator, the assistant, and my doctor (Dr. C Altindąg), is very experienced and talked me through what to expect and analyzed my nose very thoroughly. I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter (I had a severe deviated septum and other complications from a past surgery that he identified and corrected including a mirgrated graft and a droopy tip). I'm still quite swollen but look forward to seeing final results in a few months.

But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts
I liked everything overall. Initially, I was very afraid, starting with the flight to another country, the transfer to the hotel and the operation itself. But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts. 5 hours after the operation I returned to the hotel. Which is also very good because the hospital ward is the worst for me. Exactly after a week I took off the splint, my nose was still swollen. The nose is proportional to my face. When the swelling goes down it will be smaller

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.

For anyone researching this, my main piece of advice is to find a doctor you can truly trust; this was the most critical factor for me and made all the difference
My confidence in the process was solidified during the consultation. The surgeon clearly detailed how a closed rhinoplasty would be performed, focusing on a functional correction for my septum to improve my breathing. I am still in early recovery now. Everything is going according to the plan we discussed. For anyone researching this, my main piece of advice is to find a doctor you can truly trust; this was the most critical factor for me and made all the difference.

What stood out was this genuine care that the end result was as good as was possible
The doctor was good and appears to have done a good job. I didn't feel like a number; he seemed to want to get the best outcome possible and it meant something to him. What stood out was this genuine care that the end result was as good as was possible. The procedure was under general anesthesia, and my recovery is progressing about as expected. The clinic itself is great. The only issue was with the night staff, who didn't seem to know what they were doing as much as the day staff did. The clinic has stayed in touch afterward, which is reassuring. One thing to note is that there were additional expenses for take-home medications, which I think should have been included in the initial quote. For future patients, I’d say most things are covered under general expectations, so no special preparation was needed.

Honestly, I can't think of anything that needs improvement
My main concern was organization and communication, especially when traveling for surgery. This ultimately was not a concern. From my first contact with Bookimed to the end of my treatment, everything was organized, smooth, and professional. They were responsive and helpful, offering multiple doctor options and answering all my questions in detail. I chose Dr. Sinan Erçülo after my own research. During the consultation, he showed me before and after photos of similar noses and was honest about the realistic outcomes. He personally performed the open nose surgery. His team was also excellent, especially Tali. I truly felt supported throughout the journey. The recovery period is progressing almost as expected, and the clinic continues to provide support through a clear aftercare guide and easy access. There were no additional expenses. Honestly, I can't think of anything that needs improvement.
كل شيء كان ممتازًا من البداية إلى النهاية، وبصراحة ليس لدي أي شكاوى على الإطلاق. تواصلت لأول مرة مع Bookimed عندما كنت أفكر في إجراء عملية زرع الذقن مع عملية تجميل الأنف. من البداية، كان الفريق شديد الاستجابة ومتعاونًا. قدموا لي عدة خيارات للطبيب وأجابوا على جميع أسئلتي بسرعة، وكانوا دائمًا على استعداد لشرح حتى أصغر التفاصيل. لم أشعر أبدًا أن أي سؤال كان بسيطًا أو غير مهم. بعد إجراء بحثي الخاص والنظر بعناية في الأطباء ونتائجهم، قررت الذهاب مع الدكتور سنان إرأوغلو. كان بصراحة أفضل طبيب وجدته خلال بحثي بأكمله، وأنا سعيد جدًا بقراري. كانت التجربة الكاملة مع الدكتور سنان إرأوغلو ممتازة. كان فريقه أيضًا رائعًا، خاصة طالي، الذي كان لطيفًا للغاية ومهنيًا ومتعاونًا طوال العملية بأكملها. كان دائمًا متاحًا للإجابة على أسئلتي، ومساعدتي في أي شيء أحتاجه، والتأكد من أنني أعرف ما كان يحدث في كل خطوة. من اتصالي الأول مع Bookimed حتى نهاية علاجي، كان كل شيء منظمًا، سلسًا، واحترافيًا. شعرت بدعم حقيقي طوال الرحلة بأكملها. أنصح بشدة بـ Bookimed، والدكتور سنان إرأوغلو، وفريقه. لم أكن لأطلب تجربة أفضل.
بصراحة، لا أستطيع التفكير في أي شيء يحتاج إلى تحسين. من خلال تجربتي الشخصية، كان كل شيء ممتازًا وتم التعامل مع العملية بأكملها بشكل مثالي.

Right now, I am feeling better than expected
I remember seeing the computer imaging of my new nose during the consultation and feeling confident. My surgeon was very honest about what was realistic, and I appreciated that he personally handled everything from that first meeting to the surgery itself. He performed an open rhinoplasty to reshape my bridge and tip. Right now, I am feeling better than expected. The clinic staff has been great with follow-up; they've stayed in touch, are easy to reach, and gave me a clear aftercare guide. It was also reassuring that there were no additional expenses. If you're wondering what to bring, don't worry—they prepare you for everything, and nothing was missing for me.
Everything was wonderful, we are very satisfied, everyone was helpful and very kind and the results are the best.

I was particularly pleased that the clinic staff reached out to me after the procedure to inquire about my well-being
Before the trip, I was most worried about potential unforeseen expenses, but everything was very transparent, and no additional payments beyond the agreed amount were required. I underwent a closed rhinoplasty, during which the bridge and tip of my nose were corrected. It's still too early to judge the final result, as I am still in the early stages of recovery. I was particularly pleased that the clinic staff reached out to me after the procedure to inquire about my well-being. This was very nice. The entire process was well organized.

As for the medical care itself, everything was excellent
What worried me the most before the surgery were the organizational aspects in a foreign country, and unfortunately, my concerns were justified. Be very careful in pharmacies: I was severely misled during currency conversion. Make sure to exchange money in advance and always request a receipt at the pharmacy. I only received the difference back after my coordinator called the pharmacy. As for the medical care itself, everything was excellent. My surgeon personally conducted both the consultation and the complete rhinoplasty. He clearly explained the objectives regarding both breathing and aesthetics. The staff remained in contact after the surgery and proactively inquired about my well-being. I now feel approximately as expected.
Liked the clinic, the staff, the doctor was attentive, the surgeon's professionalism, the coordinator's work.
Did not like the first day of arrival at the hospital, there was no translator, they did not explain the specific reason, started processing the documents, said I had to pay immediately upon arrival, without providing me with a translation, took me to the room and left me there for 2 hours alone, without water, felt like an abandoned blind kitten in a foreign country, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the service did not match what was promised.

I feel much better than I expected
I was most concerned about the recovery, but it turned out to be not scary at all. I feel much better than I expected. My doctor clearly explained the goals we are pursuing: both for breathing and aesthetics. We performed an open rhinoplasty, correcting the bridge and tip of the nose. After the procedure, the clinic team was always in touch, which was very reassuring. An important practical point: besides the cost at the clinic, I had additional expenses for medication and food, as the hotel only included breakfasts. Therefore, my main advice is to trust the team and don't be afraid of anything. Just make sure to bring extra money for medication and food.
I would like to express my immense gratitude to Bookimed for organizing the trip! Traveling for surgery without knowing the language was incredibly frightening. But the support was amazing: the whole team was constantly in touch both before and after the trip. A special thanks to the translator Olga — she was simply superb, practically guiding me through every step. I was very impressed with the doctor, and everything was convenient and comfortable. I am extremely satisfied!

The team were always on hand and helped to sort out any queries quickly, so the whole trip went smoothly, without any unnecessary stress
The consultation and the operation itself were carried out by the same doctor — that was absolutely crucial to me. Using a computer simulation, he showed me in detail what we were aiming to achieve in terms of both breathing and appearance, so I knew exactly what I was getting into. It was a full rhinoplasty using the closed technique. If you’re considering this operation, don’t be afraid to ask about anything that’s on your mind: the team were always on hand and helped to sort out any queries quickly, so the whole trip went smoothly, without any unnecessary stress. I’m still only at the start of my recovery, and it feels pretty much as I expected. It’s reassuring that there were no hidden or additional costs.
I would like to express my immense gratitude to the entire Bookimed team for the impeccable organisation of my trip and treatment. Right from the start, I felt supported, looked after and cared for at every stage. All issues were resolved quickly and professionally. I would like to extend my special thanks to Dr Ilker for his high level of professionalism, attentive care and detailed explanations. A huge thank you to the interpreter, Eliana, for her help, kindness and support throughout the entire process. I would also like to sincerely thank our driver Erkan for his punctuality, ensuring my comfort and his responsiveness. And a special thank you to the coordinating doctor, Ege, for staying in constant contact, providing prompt assistance and excellent organisation. Thanks to your seamless teamwork, I felt calm and confident. I’m delighted to recommend Bookimed and the whole team to anyone looking for high-quality treatment and a high standard of service. Thank you for your care and professionalism! 💚
No complaints. Everything was of a high standard.

What I valued most about my surgeon was his honesty; he used computer imaging to show me the expected outcome for my full nose reshaping, which set a clear, achievable goal
My biggest worry was whether the results would be realistic. What I valued most about my surgeon was his honesty; he used computer imaging to show me the expected outcome for my full nose reshaping, which set a clear, achievable goal. The procedure was an open rhinoplasty, and while I’m still healing, my recovery is progressing about as expected. The clinic staff provided great support, staying in touch and giving me a clear aftercare guide. No surprises with costs either. For anyone planning this, I’d recommend bringing a neck pillow, cotton swabs, cleansing wipes, dry mouth spray, and a lip balm. You’ll likely be breathing through your mouth for the first week, so keeping your lips and mouth moisturized makes a big difference.
I had a great experience from start to finish. The entire team was professional, kind, and supportive throughout my facial surgery journey. They made me feel comfortable, answered all my questions, and provided excellent care before and after my procedure. The clinic was clean, well organized, and the follow-up during my recovery has been outstanding. I’m still healing, but I’m very happy with my experience so far and grateful for the care I’ve received.

My nose was large and not an easy case for Dr Cem Altindag to work with. The results AMAZING!!!! It looks so natural and matches my face perfectly. The Dr and his assistant both responded in the middle of the night to a question I sent them after the surgery. That is outstanding care!! I picked Dr Cem because he specializes in noses and is highly rated. I am working to take my daughter there soon for him to work his magic on her nose also. Before and two weeks later pictures!

The consultation with the doctor was the most memorable part of my preparation
The consultation with the doctor was the most memorable part of my preparation. Using computer modelling, he showed me what the result would look like, and explained very clearly what we were aiming for — both in terms of breathing and aesthetics. To correct the bridge and tip of my nose, we opted for a minimally invasive preservation rhinoplasty technique. It’s still too early to assess the final results. I was very pleased with the clinic staff – after the operation, they gave me clear aftercare instructions and stayed in constant contact with me, which was very reassuring. The only downside was that there were additional costs on top of the amount originally paid to the clinic, which is why I’ve given an overall rating of 4 rather than 5.
Good afternoon, I’d like to share my impressions of my first visit to the Lokman HEKiM clinic. The lovely and helpful coordinator was always available. I was given a warm welcome.The reception staff were very friendly. The doctor was marvellous and a true professional. I was completely satisfied with the outcome of the treatment. I would highly recommend this specialist.

FAQ about treatment in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Will I experience a lot of pain during and after rhinoplasty in Ankara?

Rhinoplasty in Ankara is done under general anesthesia, so there is no pain during surgery. Afterward, patients typically rate discomfort 0–4 out of 10. It feels more like pressure and congestion than sharp pain. Most people manage early tenderness with standard pain relievers like paracetamol.

  • Anesthesia protocol: Patients are unconscious and pain-free during the entire surgery.
  • First 72 hours: Moderate pressure and dull aches are common as swelling peaks.
  • Pain management: Most recovery discomfort is manageable with over-the-counter medication like paracetamol.
  • Common sensations: Patients often feel like they have a heavy cold due to nasal congestion.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Dr. Furkan Karabekmez has published more than 50 scientific articles. Surgeons like him often use techniques that minimize tissue trauma. Data shows Ankara packages frequently include 5-night hotel stays. This is longer than the standard 1-2 day critical recovery window. The extra days let professionals monitor you as swelling peaks before you fly home.

Patient Consensus: Patients often report that splints blocking nasal breathing bothers them more than the surgical pain. Throat soreness from the breathing tube often feels more noticeable than nose tenderness during early recovery.

How experienced are the surgeons performing rhinoplasty in Ankara?

Surgeons in Ankara are specialized, often holding European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS) certifications. Practitioners, including university-affiliated professors, perform high volumes of primary and revision rhinoplasty. These procedures take place in Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited facilities to make sure results are functional and aesthetically precise.

  • Specialized credentials: Surgeons often hold EBOPRAS diplomas and Mayo Clinic research fellowships.
  • Academic expertise: Professors at Memorial Ankara Hospital lead departments, which helps uphold surgical standards.
  • Clinical volume: Top clinics serve more than 10,000 patients annually with specialized nose surgery teams.
  • Accredited facilities: Procedures usually take place in Joint Commission International-accredited hospitals that use 3D simulation technology.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While a high volume of procedures signals technical skill, it can sometimes lead to a factory-like pace. We notice that professors like Umit Naci Karacal at Memorial Ankara Hospital offer a more academic, personalized approach. This often provides a better balance than high-volume clinics that may rush consultations.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize looking past social media photos to find surgeons who share one-year healed results. Technical skills are high. Still, patients recommend focusing on doctors who provide detailed answers about revision policies and grafts.

Which hospitals in Ankara are accredited for rhinoplasty?

Several hospitals in Ankara hold Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation for rhinoplasty. That means they meet rigorous global safety standards. Leading accredited facilities include Memorial Ankara Hospital and Private Koru Ankara Hospital. Both have specialized plastic surgery departments and board-certified surgeons, including Professor Furkan Karabekmez.

  • Memorial Ankara Hospital: Has JCI accreditation and a bone marrow transplant unit with 12 wards.
  • Private Koru Ankara Hospital: Accredited by JCI and equipped with Da Vinci robotic surgical systems.
  • Lokman Hekim University: Holds ISO International Standards and official Government International Health Tourism Authorization.
  • Surgeon credentials: Top specialists often hold European Board of Plastic Surgery (EBOPRAS) diplomas and have training.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While hospitals in Ankara are accredited, the most experienced specialists often work across several top-tier facilities. For example, Professor Furkan Karabekmez runs his own clinic but also performs surgeries at Acibadem Ankara Hospital. This lets patients get personalized care at the private clinic. They also have access to the JCI-accredited hospital's surgical infrastructure.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize one key point: choose a surgeon based on their specific ENT or plastic surgery specialization. Don't just rely on the clinic brand. They also recommend verifying hospital accreditation independently and requesting long-term before-and-after photos to get natural-looking results.

How long should I stay in Ankara for a rhinoplasty?

Plan to stay in Ankara for 7 to 10 days for rhinoplasty. You will spend 1 day in the hospital, then 5 to 6 nights recovering at a hotel. Most surgeons ask patients to stay until the cast comes off — usually on day 7.

  • Hospital stay: Expect 1 day of monitoring after general anesthesia.
  • Hotel recovery: Clinics usually bundle 5–6 hotel nights for the first stage of healing.
  • Cast removal: Surgeons remove external splints and internal packing on day 5–7.
  • Travel clearance: Patients are generally cleared to fly home right after the final checkup.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While 7 days is the standard, packages in Ankara often differ in hotel length. For example, Memorial Ankara Hospital includes 6 hotel nights. Lokman Hekim Akay Hospital offers 5 nights. If you are coming from far away, pick the longer stay. It helps you cope better with cabin pressure on the flight home.

Patient Consensus: The first 3 days after surgery are for rest only. Patients often use the final 2 days for light sightseeing in Ankara once swelling starts to go down.

What should I ask my surgeon during a rhinoplasty consultation in Ankara?

Focus on asking about specific techniques, such as open versus closed approaches. Also ask about the surgeon's experience with thick or thin skin. In Ankara, surgeons like Prof. Dr. Furkan Karabekmez often hold European Board of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS) diplomas. They perform procedures in JCI-accredited facilities.

  • Surgical credentials: Ask about Turkish Board of Plastic Surgery or EBOPRAS certifications to verify quality.
  • Specific experience: Request before-and-after photos of patients with nasal structures similar to your own.
  • Functional assessment: Ask if a septoplasty is needed to improve breathing during the aesthetic procedure.
  • Revision policy: Confirm the financial and surgical plan if a secondary touch-up is required.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Ankara packages often include extra recovery perks that are easy to miss. For example, Memorial Ankara Hospital offers 5-star hotel stays. Lokman Hekim Akay Hospital provides full-board meals for you and a companion. These perks are important because you'll need to stay in the city for 5–7 days for splint removal.

Patient Consensus: Patients stress being brutally clear about aesthetic goals to avoid miscommunication. They recommend bringing a written list of features you definitely do not want changed so the surgeon understands your vision.
