Gürhan Özcan

The clinic is wonderful! From the moment the interpreter contacted me before leaving until the last transfer. Met, identified in the hotel. The clinic itself is modern. Friendly, professional staff. Very clean and comfortable. I had a spacious single room with a toilet and shower. I was with my husband. So they took care of him too. They brought food. There was a folding chair for him in the ward. They brought him a set of bed linen, so that it was convenient for him to spend the night next to me. The operating professor came into the ward. He made the markup, explained in detail what he was going to do, answered all the questions. And in general, as the result showed, it was the ideal choice of the operating surgeon! Anesthesia was given before the operating room. Therefore, I do not remember the operation at all. I came to my senses already in the ward. I was already wearing the correct size compression bra. I got everything I needed through a drip. I don't remember being in pain! I will not describe the whole process, but the next day I returned to the hotel. The catheters were removed the next day. They gave me the necessary medicines. I took five days of antibiotics. And I drank the painkiller once in the evening, and then I realized that I didn’t need it. The translator was in touch with me all the time, answered all the questions. The result is very satisfied. Breast reduced perfectly. Everything is done beautifully and proportionately! I finally straightened my back and squared my shoulders, very happy! It was a little disappointing that we were evicted from the room three hours before the transfer to the airport. It was hard after the operation to sit in the lobby for three hours in an uncomfortable chair. It made me very tired. But in general, there are no complaints and the whole trip even exceeded my expectations!

I want to express my gratitude to Nastya, who helped me in choosing a doctor and clinic. She answered all questions quickly. Helped organize my trip. Regarding the clinic, the Chamber was separate. My husband was with me. So he was given a cot and fed. First of all, I want to mention Elvina, my assistant and translator..very pleasant and responsive. I could contact her at any time and get an instant response. The nurse girl staff works so fast that I was already asleep by the time I got to the operating room. I would like to express my special gratitude to Professor Gürhan Ozcan. A very polite person. And his hands are like the paws of a cat. Thanks to everyone who organized this operation for me. All health and prosperity.

Honestly, the best experience ever. I was so scared and skeptic about have a rhinoplasty in Turkey but Bookimed staff was beyond helpful 24/7 and the Istanbul Aestethic Center was the cleanest, best clinique. Doctor Gurhan saved my nose, an expert. He spoke very calm, explained me everything in English, asured me everything will be alright and i couldn t be more thankful for him and the entire clinique stuff. I 200% recommend this clinique and this doctor. Truly kind people. Thank you again!

The clinic was very clean, the staff were very friendly, the room was very comfortable with large windows that let in a lot of light, the interpreter was very kind and straightforward and the doctor was very competent. He put me at ease from the start and gave me good advice, and I'm very happy with the result.

It is with great disappointment that I write this follow-up, nearly five months after what initially felt like a life-changing experience with Prof. Dr. Gurhan Ozcan and his team at Istanbul Aesthetic Center. As I previously shared, I was deeply impressed by the professionalism, warmth, and care I received from Dr. Ozcan, my medical coordinator Ege, and the clinic staff. The facility was state-of-the-art, and the process—from consultation to post-op—was smooth and reassuring. I underwent rhinoplasty on January 7th to correct a deviated septum, reduce nasal projection, and refine a bulbous tip. Initially, everything seemed to go well. However, as time passed, the reality began to set in. Now, at nearly the 5-month mark, when swelling and bruising have subsided—as expected—I am left with a visible and palpable bony bump at the root of the nasal pyramid, a deformity that did not exist prior to surgery. This is not residual swelling. It is clearly bone. Its presence is not only physically noticeable but emotionally distressing. My nose remains somewhat numb, particularly on the right side and at the tip. While some numbness can be typical during healing, the sensation hasn’t significantly improved in weeks, suggesting this may be a longer-term issue. The septum appears straighter, the overall projection was moderately reduced, and the bulbous tip was very slightly improved. But the new bony irregularity—right at the base of my nasal bridge—undermines the entire purpose of having undergone this procedure in the first place. I feel like I’ve exchanged one issue for another—arguably more visible—one. This has left me feeling disheartened, frustrated, and anxious. I followed all aftercare instructions meticulously, trusted the process, and waited patiently. I was hopeful, but now I feel disillusioned. I share this not out of anger, but out of the need for transparency—for myself, for others considering this clinic, and in the hope that my case is reviewed with the seriousness it warrants. A rhinoplasty should not introduce a new deformity where none existed before. I still have respect for Dr. Ozcan’s credentials and the team’s dedication. But results are what matter in the end—and in my case, the outcome has been deeply disappointing.
