Patient reviews

Prices in Berlin were very high, and I could combine the surgery with a visit home in Istanbul, so I decided. I had both a breathing problem and a humped nose. Both fixed in one session. German support was available, I felt very comfortable. Stayed 10 days in Istanbul, splint came out, no problems on return.

I was searching for a Turkish-origin surgeon in Holland — someone who speaks Turkish, knows our anatomy. I read Doç. Erdal has 30+ publications and FACS certification. A great experience. Sent photos via WhatsApp first, got pre-evaluation, then came for consultation.

Prices in London were £12,000 — almost 3x. Came to Istanbul, surgeon's English excellent, clinic extremely professional. My hotel was in Nişantaşı, walked to the clinic. Returned to London after 8 days, no issues. Very pleased.

Waiting list in Vienna was 2 years! Everything sorted in 3 weeks in Istanbul. Both septum and aesthetic in one session. German translator available. Now I breathe easily and my nose looks great. Combining with home visit also helped financially.

Searched for a long time in Belgium, then took referrals from Turkish patients. Decided on Doç. Erdal. Full professional, clinic clean, surgeon speaks German (German is also spoken in Belgium). Process was flawless. Very satisfied with the result.

Surgeon, clinic, result — all excellent. Only hotel recommendation was initially insufficient (later corrected). 4 months later swelling has reduced further and now exactly as desired. Finding a German-speaking surgeon is a big advantage — terms are fully understood.

Considered Boston, New York rhinoplasty specialists — quotes started at $25,000+. Reviewed surgeons in Istanbul; Dr. Erdal's case portfolio convinced me. Excellent English, scientifically grounded approach. Total cost (including flights, 10-night Istanbul stay) under 40% of Boston quote. 9 months out — extremely happy with result.

CHF made the savings significant. Zurich plastic surgeons quote 18,000-22,000 CHF. Istanbul total under 30%. Most importantly — the surgical result is excellent. Closed technique, tip refinement and dorsal hump reduction; natural, recognizable result.

Wanted a surgeon who knew Turkish nose features. Didn't want to lose my character — just lift the hump and slightly refine the tip. Exactly what I got. Looking at family photos I can say 'still me.' Closed technique, fast recovery — back to office in 12 days.
