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'm still in early recovery, and I'm feeling better than expected
My surgeon was very honest about what constituted realistic results for my age and took the time to explain exactly where the incisions for my lower face and neck procedure would be placed. That conversation set the tone for the entire process. I'm still in early recovery, and I'm feeling better than expected. The clinic staff has been easy to reach and has stayed in touch, which is comforting. Be prepared for some additional expenses, like extra lab tests and all meals except breakfast. My one piece of advice is to ask the clinic beforehand if your hotel is in a walkable area, as that can make a difference.
Translator took care of all my needs
Spoke excellent English
The hotel could have been in a better area for walking and restaurants

The medical support I received was excellent
My biggest worry was what the final profile would look like, especially after having a significant dorsal hump removed. It’s very early in the recovery process, and my nose bridge is still quite swollen, so I can't really see the new shape of the tip yet. That’s to be expected. However, the surgeon and all the staff have been attentive and clear about the healing timeline, which has been reassuring. The level of care was great. While I’m waiting for the swelling to go down to see the final result, the medical support I received was excellent.
My translator Yaren was very sweet and guided me through everything I needed to know and also booked everything for me so I had no stress. My doctor Mr Mehmet also was very professional and found the internal problems for my breathing issues very quickly. Surgery went well and post operation care was optimal.

the surgeon was excellent
If you are thinking about finally fixing your profile, prioritize finding a skilled surgeon over the clinic’s administrative support. I opted for an open rhinoplasty to remove a significant dorsal hump, and at just fifteen days post-op, the bridge is already straighter as wanted. While the surgeon was excellent and the facility was clean, the staff felt a bit disorganized at times. Recovery is slow. Currently, the biggest challenge is the dry, crusty feeling inside my nose that makes breathing difficult. Despite the lingering swelling, the nose tip looks natural and fits my face well. It is early days. If you are preparing for this, my best advice is to be patient and try to relax.
The Doctor was very friendly and the result is fantastic.
The nurses did not speak a single word of englisch. And the Person from the clinic responsible for Whatsapp communication did not reply often. Also no Wifi in the Hospital.
