You do not like the shape of your nose and you want to change your appearance and beautify it. Or you have a nasal congestion problem and you want to breathe well and have an aesthetically beautiful nose in the same session.

I must say from the outset that the price of the surgery should be the last among your criteria in this regard because rhinoplasty is not a “standard” surgery that every surgeon does the same, but a personalized surgery that requires separate and fine planning for each patient. The difference between this surgery from other surgeries is that it is a process that requires the surgeon’s special attention and healthy dialogue with the patient at every pre-and post-operative stage. This process, which starts with your first meeting with your doctor, is like going on a long journey with your doctor to improve your appearance. The purpose of this journey is to improve the patient’s appearance as a result of the surgery and to ensure that the doctor is satisfied with his work. That’s why choosing the right doctor is very important for both your health and your future outlook.

When looking for the right doctor, I think the first and healthiest way is to talk to people who have had surgery before and take their advice into consideration. This is the most important criterion. Even when going on vacation, one listens to the advice of a friend who has stayed at that hotel before. So it cannot be expected that s/he will not be affected by those who have had it done before while having a procedure such as a nose surgery that changes people tremendously.

Ninety percent of the patients who come to me come with the advice of my patients that I have operated on before. Thus, you can see the work done live and get information about all the stages of the surgery from someone who has experienced the surgery. How well the doctor’s dialogue with the patient is and the patient’s satisfaction are evident from the very first sentence, from the shape of the patient’s face when talking about the doctor. Another way that can help in choosing a doctor is to consult doctors you know from other branches or people working in the same hospital as the doctor (nurses, operating room staff, etc.). Since these people are always in the hospital environment, they know who performed the surgery well. They can guide you about the doctor’s experience and skills.

Another source that is frequently used in choosing a doctor is the Internet. Information about all diseases and all surgeries is as close as a click to us. New sites are added to the internet about aesthetic surgeries every day, and there are patient information sections on each site. Although the Internet is very useful in terms of informing those who want to have surgery, it can be confusing in terms of choosing a doctor. Because there are many similar sites on the Internet. I would like to share the characteristics of the right doctor for rhinoplasty according to my opinion.
