Horrible result
In 2023, I underwent rhinoplasty in Antalya with this doctor. Based on my personal experience, it was one of the most difficult medical experiences I have ever been through.
After the surgery, I experienced significant pain and a very difficult recovery. I was also deeply disappointed with the appearance of my nose as it healed. My personal expectation was a natural-looking result, and I was not satisfied with the appearance I ultimately saw.
After the healing period, I decided to undergo two revision rhinoplasty procedures with another surgeon. These procedures were performed in an attempt to improve the appearance and structure of my nose. The second revision procedure involved the use of rib cartilage.
During the revision process, my surgeon explained to me that there were significant structural issues that needed to be addressed, including issues involving the nasal bridge. I am describing this based on what was explained to me during my subsequent medical treatment.
After the primary surgery, I personally felt that my nose appeared significantly larger than it had before the procedure, and I was very unhappy with its shape and proportions.
The recovery following my primary rhinoplasty was also extremely difficult for me. I experienced extensive bruising around my eyes, and the whites of my eyes became very bloodshot. In my personal experience, the recovery from both subsequent revision procedures was considerably easier, with very little bruising.
The entire process required a significant amount of money, time, additional medical treatment, and emotional energy for me. I am sharing my experience because I believe that prospective patients should have access to different patients’ experiences when making their own decisions about medical treatment.

Yes, I confirm that during the first days after surgery, I wrote that everything was fine. I did so because the doctor repeatedly reassured me that the surgery had gone well, that the result was excellent, and that my nose looked beautiful.
At that early stage, I personally did not have enough experience to understand what my eventual result would look like. I trusted the information and reassurance I was receiving from my doctor.
The appearance of a nose changes considerably during the healing process, and I personally did not understand at the time how different the early postoperative appearance could be from the later result.
For anyone considering rhinoplasty, my personal advice is not to make a final judgment about your result during the early stages of recovery. I also personally would not make promotional statements about being completely satisfied immediately after surgery, because I now understand from my own experience that the final appearance can only be evaluated much later.
I am sharing this because I wish I had understood this before my own surgery. My intention is not to make accusations against anyone. I am describing my own experience, what I personally observed, how I felt about the result, and the subsequent treatment I chose to undergo.
Regarding the question of why I waited three years: by approximately one year after the primary surgery, I was experiencing significant emotional distress because I was very unhappy with the result. I was also not comfortable undergoing another operation immediately, particularly after such a difficult first experience. I needed time before I felt ready to consider revision surgery.
I have also been asked why I am sharing my experience now and have been told that legal action may be considered in relation to my review.
I would like to make clear that I am not presenting my personal experience as an objective medical or legal judgment. I am sharing my own account as a former patient. If there is a specific statement in my review that you believe is factually inaccurate, please identify that specific statement so that I can understand what you are disputing.
I paid for and personally underwent this procedure, experienced the recovery, and later underwent two revision procedures. This review reflects my personal experience and opinion. I am sharing it so that other prospective patients can consider my experience alongside other information when making their own decisions.
I have no intention of attacking, insulting, or defaming anyone. This is simply my account of my own medical experience.
