"I had two prior rhinoplasties in London, both unsatisfying. By the time I came to Istanbul I was discouraged about whether anything could help. Dr. Erdal was direct about what was correctable and what wasn't — which felt different from previous consultations where I was told my goals were achievable when they probably weren't. The result is real and I can finally stop thinking about my nose."
"My primary in Germany left me with a saddle deformity from over-aggressive hump reduction. Three German surgeons all said rib was needed. Dr. Erdal agreed but explained exactly why and what to expect. The chest scar is barely visible at 18 months. The bridge looks natural. The communication throughout was excellent."
"I researched revision rhinoplasty surgeons in New York extensively. The price difference was striking — and after two video consultations with US surgeons and one with Dr. Erdal, I felt my Istanbul plan was actually more thoughtful than the New York plans. My breathing is dramatically better and the cosmetic result is excellent. I would do it again."
"My primary left me with a slightly bulbous tip that bothered me but wasn't easy to articulate. Dr. Erdal's analysis was specific and the surgical plan addressed exactly what I was unhappy about. The result at 12 months is subtle and natural. Recovery was longer than my primary, which I was warned about in advance — actually preparing me for that helped a lot."
"After a sports injury caused secondary problems on top of my primary surgery, I needed both functional and cosmetic correction. The Dubai consultations gave me one set of options; the Istanbul consultation gave me a different set, more focused. Arabic interpretation was provided when needed. The surgical day was professional, the post-op care was thorough, and the result is excellent."
"The inverted-V on my bridge bothered me only in certain photos but it was real and visible. Dr. Erdal explained that spreader grafts were the right correction. The surgery was 4 hours; recovery was as predicted; the bridge is now smooth and even. The whole process felt unhurried and considered."
"My primary left me with a polly-beak, slight crookedness, and breathing issues — three problems that needed addressing together. The surgical plan was specific to each problem, and the result corrected all three. The 18-month recovery was longer than I expected for the cosmetic result to fully refine, but the breathing improvement was immediate. Worth the time."
"My primary in Canada left me with valve collapse — every deep breath felt restricted. Canadian revision surgeons recommended specific grafts. Dr. Erdal recommended a slightly different approach using ear cartilage rather than rib, and explained why this was sufficient for my specific anatomy. Twelve months later breathing is normal and the cosmetic result is actually better than my primary."
Reviews are gathered at the 12-month follow-up, with explicit written consent for online publication. We don't solicit reviews from dissatisfied patients differently than satisfied ones — every revision patient is asked at the 12-month mark whether they're willing to share their experience. About 60% agree; their reviews appear here. The rest decline for privacy reasons, which we respect.
Independent third-party reviews are also welcome at clinic Google Business profile, Trustpilot, RealSelf, and similar platforms. We don't pay for reviews and don't filter critical feedback.
