I had my rhinoplasty in July 2025, and at almost 8 weeks, I'm happy with my results so far. I chose Dr. Bora because he is passionate about his work, has been performing rhinoplasty on Black individuals and those with thick skin for a long time, and through my research, I could see that he does not give everyone the same nose. When we spoke on video before my surgery, his vision aligned with what I wanted. When we met on the day of surgery, I could tell that he could distinguish between different styles of noses and how one's individual aesthetics may affect what they want. I emphasized that I wanted natural-looking results, not a dramatic change. I'm not an internet personality, and I don't wear a lot of makeup, etc, so I didn't want a very high radix and a very lifted tip. I wanted subtle changes.
I got what I wanted, which was a narrowing of the nasal bone, a lifted tip, and a very modest alarplasty. The hospital experience was positive, and I was able to get vegetarian meals as I requested. The nurses at Vanity were very nice to me, as well as Dr. Bora's nurse. I had no facial bruising and minimal swelling. When I got my second cast off, I looked 100% normal.
Seval, the patient coordinator, has been kind and responsive from the start. Any time I had a question, she would get back to me. She also gave me timely reminders.
I would recommend Dr. Bora and his team for rhinoplasty and would choose him again. No other doctor I could find in Turkiye consistently gives natural results. I think with him (and any other surgeon), it's good to know what you want so you can communicate what you want.
To be fully transparent, I was asked to leave a review, which I am doing freely and voluntarily. I only did surgery; I did not use the hotel and transportation package, so I can't comment on that. My review is limited to my experience with the surgery and the results I achieved. I am still relatively early in my recovery, but recent reviews were very useful for me in choosing Dr. Bora, so I am leaving one now.
Response from Dr.Bora Ok, MDThank you sincerely for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. It means a lot to me to know that the subtle, natural changes we aimed for matched exactly with your wishes. Every patient’s individuality is important, and I’m glad you felt that this was reflected in both our planning and your results.
I’m also very happy to hear that your recovery has been smooth, with minimal swelling and no bruising, and that your hospital experience was comfortable. It’s wonderful to know Seval and my team were able to provide you with the guidance and care you needed at every step.
Your trust is truly appreciated, and I wish you a continued healing journey with results that bring you confidence and satisfaction every day.
Best regards,
Dr. Bora Ok
