Baver Simsek, MD

My experience was very pleasant overall. I’m from the Netherlands, and everything was well-organized from the moment I arrived in Istanbul. I was a bit nervous about how it would be since I don’t speak the language, but I was extremely well taken care of by the doctor and Tunahan. They make you feel very comfortable, and the 3D simulation they create on the first day is also incredibly helpful. The surgery day went perfectly as well. Even though I was very nervous, they reassured me the entire time. After the operation, I barely experienced any pain at all, which made the recovery a 10/10 for me. I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

I was incredibly nervous before my rhinoplasty, but from the very beginning, the team made me feel completely at ease. I did have a simulation beforehand, and I’m amazed at how accurate my final results are—it looks just like what we planned, and I know it will look even better once the swelling goes down. All I wanted was for my nose to be straightened and my bump removed from my previously broken and deviated nose—and Dr. Simsek delivered perfectly. The consultation the day before was incredibly thorough, lasting 1–2 hours, and every question I had was answered with care and patience. Even after sending my deposit, I bombarded them with a million more questions, and they always responded with kindness and reassurance. Tunahan, in particular, was incredible—he handled so much of the communication and support, always responded quickly, and even managed to make me laugh and cheer me up when I was nervous about blood tests or any small procedure. I did so much research before choosing Dr. Simsek, and I am beyond certain I made the right decision—I have absolutely no regrets and am over the moon with my results! I’m naturally a massive worrier and overthink everything, but the team helped put all my concerns to rest. On the day of surgery, as I was being wheeled into the operating room, the nurses held my hand and comforted me, which made a huge difference. I truly can’t thank Dr. Simsek and Tunahan enough for all their support, professionalism, and care. I would recommend Dr. Baver Simsek to absolutely everyone—if you’re considering rhinoplasty, you’re in the best hands possible!

The best surgeon ever! Everything went smoothly, I was scared at first but he has calmed me down and reassured me with everything. Nothing has went wrong and he has done my nose perfectly the way I wanted and his work is really amazing and very natural which is what I asked for and I can breathe very well. From the beginning the experience was smooth the assistant was very kind and positive and answered any questions or concerns I had no matter how silly they were. On the consolation day the dr examined my nose and took his time to make sure I was happy with the simulation of how my nose will look. He also made sure that the nose gave me facial harmony and actually suited my face not just on making the nose look good. On the surgery day we arrived to the hospital and it was the most luxurious hospital rooms I have seen which made the whole recovery much more comfortable. After the surgery I had almost no pain. A lot of people talk about having a very sore throat after surgery because of the breathing tube but i did not have that at all which means they were very gentle and careful. On day 2 post op I felt like I had not even had surgery and was able to go out and explore Istanbul. Honestly the whole recovery was very easy and smooth which I think is because of dr Baver’s gentleness during the surgery, I also had ZERO bruising and just had a little swelling on my cheeks which was gone by day 4. The cast removal and nose splint removal was soooo much better that I expected lots of people say this is so painful but you should not be scared It was not painful AT ALL just a sensation of relief once they are out. Overall im extremely happy with my whole experience l, recovery and I love my new nose! I would highly recommend Dr Baver!

Dr. Baver ?im?ek has done wonders for me. I came to Turkey from New York overall unhappy with my look and wanted a natural looking nose. They set me up with the hotel and transportation from the airport to the hotel. The process of consultation straight to surgery was very smooth! He had a 3D imaging process to give a sneak peak as to what my nose will look like. He kept my profile extremely natural and well suited for my look. My recovery was uncomfortable to say the least but they made sure I was doing alright all the way through to the cast removal. I am extremely happy that I went through this life changing procedure with Dr. ?im?ek, he is the best!!

I honestly didn’t feel any stress before my surgery because I had complete trust in Dr. Baver Simsek. From the very first moment, I had a good feeling and immediately knew I had chosen the right place. The first communication with Tunahan (assistent) went smoothly and pleasantly, it really set the tone. I felt very welcome and comfortable with both Tunahan and Dr. Simsek, almost like being part of the family. It’s such a warm and caring environment. The hospital itself was also beautiful and elegant, with everything you could possibly need. The nurses were also kind and attentive. I can only highly recommend this place. They truly want the best for you and are very honest throughout the whole process. My nose looks completely natural, just the way I wanted! I’m only one week post-op, so I can’t speak about long-term results just yet, but so far I’m happy! :)

I was extremely nervous about undergoing a rhinoplasty so far away from home, but Dr Simsek and his wonderful assistant Tunahan, made the experience feel very easy. They both treated me like family, always checking in on me before and after the procedure and answering any questions with patience and understanding. Dr Simsek appears to genuinely love his job, which made the experience even better, as he was always happy and excited, both in surgery and during consultations. Dr Simsek has the warmest, most gentle bedside manner I have experienced from a doctor, which greatly eased my nerves and made the experience a wonderful one. I would highly recommend Dr Simsek and can't thank him and Tunahan enough for their beautiful care and outstanding surgical skill.

I want to leave my heartfelt recommendation for Dr. Baver ?im?ek and his team. My experience was unique but special- so keep reading if you’re interested in this doctor. This week, I travelled to Istanbul for a nose job with Dr. ?im?ek. I made the decision after extensive research…looking into and consulting with several different ENTs in Turkey. I had two virtual consults with Dr Baver (I had more questions after the first) and I found the doctor to be professional, patient and skilled. His team (Tunahan his assistant) was extremely accommodating and answered so many of my questions. His work was also impressive- natural noses that complimented the faces of his patients. I was looking for a “me but better” and it seemed he would be able to deliver. I also spoke to several of his patients through WhatsApp groups and on FB (through private messages) and everyone seemed really happy. So that’s why I booked with him! When I got to Istanbul, I went first to the doc’s office and had a nearly two hour consult with him. He answered a million of my questions and was very patient. He also showed me a 3D simulation of what I would look like after surgery. It was me but more refined! We collaborated on the final product. After, his assistant Tunaham (who I had been communicating with) took me to the hospital where I completed my bloodwork. The next day, I arrived at the hospital for my surgery a few hours in advance (got cleared by the anesthesiologist). The process was pretty smooth. I was extremely nervous but was shocked at how nice and clean the facilities were. The private room I was put in was like a mini fancy hotel room. Very nice- way better than any hospital in Canada or the US. The staff/nurses were also super nice and accommodating. They even gave my partner lunch while we waited! I had been very nervous about going under in another country and was pleasantly surprised how everything was 5/5 at the hospital. I was even able to speak with Dr ?im?ek before the surgery to go over any questions I had. He’s amazing. Here’s where my experience is unique though. When I was taken down to the operating room by the nurses, I began to second guess myself. Did I really need this? How would I look? Was this necessary? I had spend so much time being worried about the anesthesia part, I hadn’t really thought enough about changing my appearance part. I know that sounds crazy- but the reality hit me like a ton of bricks. We arrived outside the operating room and I asked for more time to think. The nurses were happy to give it to me. Over the next 15-20 mins, I changed my mind multiple times. Dr Baver and Tunahan also came out several times to answer any of my questions. I was crying, feeling horrible that I was wasting everyone’s time (the surgery room and everyone was ready to go). They never tried to pressure me at all. They let me take my time, answered my questions and told me they understood that this was a big decision as I would be making a permanent change to my face. They told me I had to do what was best for me and, either way, it would be ok. In the end, I decided not to go through with it. I It had nothing to do with Dr Baver or the hospital. I just wasn’t ready. The doctors and nurses were all very kind to me, reassuring me it was ok. I was taken back up to my room (where I ran into Dr Baver’s morning patient who said he was doing good after surgery) and waited a bit. Tunahan and Dr Baver both came up to wish me well and say goodbye. Dr Baver told me, even though I didn’t do the surgery, I was still his guest and that meant so much to me. I left the hotel. In the week since, I have had communication with him and his team. They did not abandon me even though I wasted their time. I even went to his office one last time to say goodbye. Even though I didn’t go through with the surgery, I wanted to leave this review because I found Dr Baver kind, ethical, patient, and skilled. He was my doctor even if I wasn’t the best patient. He told me on my original consult where I expressed how scared I was, “every nose can be operated on but not every patient can be operated on.” Turns out that was very true for me- this time at least. If I do get the courage to do a nose job in the future, it will 10000 percent be with him. I will also recommend him to any family, friends or coworkers who are looking for a doctor. He’s a great person (and Tunahan is too). I was very very scared of going under anesthesia in a foreign country..but I do want to say, the hospital facilities were 5/5. The nurses and docs seemed incredible. If I come back, I’ll know I will be in excellent hands. Also- I asked the hospital staff if it was JCI accredited when I was there and they said they are in the process of being accredited (in case anyone is wondering). It was a roller coaster of a week emotionally for me, but if it had to happen, I’m glad it was with a great doctor like Dr Baver who supported me and didn’t abandon me even when I bailed.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr.Baver and his amazing team, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Everything was planned perfectly from the beginning, the process was clear, smooth, and professional. The doctor and the team were very attentive and supportive throughout. The surgery went quickly and exactly according to plan. The result is excellent,just what I wanted. I’m truly grateful for their care and skill!

First of all, I’d like to say that my experience with this doctor was excellent. When I arrived at the hospital for my blood tests, the doctor’s assistant welcomed me, helped with translation, and guided me through the entire process. On the day of the surgery, I received a comfortable room and excellent care. For example, before the procedure, I asked the assistant to text my sister after the operation because I wasn’t sure when I would be able to contact my family. He did exactly that — he messaged her before the surgery began and again right after it ended to let her know that everything went perfectly. After the surgery, I felt surprisingly well — I didn’t even feel like I had just had an operation. When I was discharged the next day, the medications were brought directly to my room, so I didn’t have to go to the pharmacy myself, which was very convenient. During the following week, they texted me every day to check how I was feeling. I also want to mention that the assistant always replied to my messages within 10 minutes.

I had my surgery with Dr. Baver in Turkey and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience! From the very first consultation, both the doctor and his amazing assistant Tuhana were so kind, patient, and professional. They answered all my questions, guided me through every step, and made me feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the process. The care I received before and after the operation was truly exceptional, they were always available whenever I needed something, no matter how small. My new nose looks so natural and perfectly suits my face. It’s exactly what I had hoped for, maybe even better I’m genuinely so grateful for their hard work, attention to detail, and the warm attitude they showed me from start to finish. If you’re thinking about having a rhinoplasty in Instabul,Turkey, I totally recommend Dr. Baver and his wonderful team!
