Burak Alhan, MD

Great experience. Had my rhinoseptoplasty 6 months ago. Doctor is very attentive and is quite a cool person :) I initially came with a request for a certain look (straight but longer nose) because I was terrified of my nose looking upturned - I had a really big and long nose before so anything too small caused me to panic. I am REALLY happy that Dr Burak has clearly explained to me that what I wanted just wouldn’t look good. Now I absolutely love my nose and my result is so natural my cosmetologist I go to for various procedures like botox has taken his contact details to give out to her clients because it is that good.

His team are very nice and what I really appreciated is that they are very responsive - i’m a nervous person and after surgery I was of course panicking about my swelling and the assistant tirelessly dealt with me :)


Overall, one of the best decisions of my life so far. I chose Dr Burak because of the nice impression he gave me over the video consultation because he was just super honest and down to earth, as at the time he didn’t have many reviews on reddit. I am very happy to see that now he is gaining popularity because he really deserves it :)

Due to a trauma I experienced long ago, I developed both structural and functional nasal crookedness, primarily caused by a deviated septum. For years, I was hesitant to undergo surgery due to fear and uncertainty. However, as time passed, the asymmetry in my nose became more pronounced, bringing along not just aesthetic concerns but also serious functional issues. I started experiencing increasing difficulty in breathing, constant nasal congestion, and even snoring, which significantly affected my daily life and sleep quality.

After much consideration, I decided to consult Dr. Burak Alhan. He took the time to explain every aspect of the procedure in great detail, ensuring I fully understood what needed to be done and what kind of results I could expect. His patience, expertise, and meticulous attention to detail reassured me, and I finally found the courage to proceed with the surgery.

Despite the complexity of my case, Dr. Alhan performed an exceptional surgery. It has only been two months, but I am already beyond happy with the results. The crookedness in my nose has been completely corrected, and more importantly, all of my previous complaints—breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, and snoring—are now completely gone. I can finally breathe comfortably and feel much more confident in my appearance.

What truly sets Dr. Alhan apart is not only his surgical skill but also his genuine care and dedication to his patients. Even after the surgery, he remained attentive and continued to provide support, answering all my questions and ensuring I was healing properly. His professionalism, precision, and compassionate approach made this entire journey much easier for me.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Burak Alhan for helping me overcome such a significant issue and for his outstanding work. I highly recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty or seeking a truly skilled and caring surgeon.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Burak Alhan, and I wanted to write this review to share my strange story. At first I was frustrated after the procedure, I had a retracted nostril. (See Image). It was very obvious, and when I went home after I had a hard time dealing with it. I went to one of my best friends wedding and people were like what happened!?! I felt like I had to hide my face. I kept asking the doctor why he didn't make sure the left side was even during the surgery, or why there wasn't extra cartilage placed on that side to make it look normal, and his response was that he had rebuilt the entire interior of the nose and made both sides even on the inside. I didn't believe him because on the outside it didn't look like it at all. I seriously thought I was going to need a revision.

Fast forward to two years later, I had a laser treatment on my skin. I have no idea how the laser worked to soften the internal scarring, but somehow it did and it reduced the overall bulbousness of my nose and now the nostril looks normal again. Finally! It made me realize that the doctor had in fact made my nose even during the surgery, he did his job the right way, but it was my scar tissue that somehow created the retraction on the nostril. Now that the scar tissue is softened, my nose looks good and I am happy with the final results! I would recommend this doctor, and also recommend that you give yourself time to see final results.

Dr. Alhan is a true professional. I had always wanted a nose job but hadn’t found THE doctor who made me feel confident enough to go through with it—until I found Dr. Alhan through a friend. From my first video consultation with him, I felt immediately comfortable. His assistant, Irem, was incredibly caring; she arranged my hotel and transport and answered all my questions.

I had an over-projected nose with a hump, and Dr. Alhan carefully explained what was possible to achieve. I was thrilled to learn that it could be reduced. Before the surgery in December 2024, I met with Dr. Alhan again, and he took the time to walk me through the procedure and set realistic expectations. On the day of surgery, he was fully present, and afterward, he reassured me that everything had gone perfectly. I loved the results immediately!

Unfortunately, I arrived in Istanbul feeling weak due to a low immune system and ended up catching a bad cold. Both Dr. Alhan and Irem took my symptoms seriously, even though they weren’t related to the surgery. They provided the appropriate medication and took great care of me, which made me feel much better.

When the cast came off, I was so happy with the change! Dr. Alhan is amazing. I’m so grateful to have found someone who treats you as a person, not just a number, and genuinely cares about you. I wholeheartedly recommend him—don’t hesitate, just go for it!

Fantastic experience with Dr. Burak last week for rhinoplasty. Can't wait to heal and see results. Here are notes from my longer google review about what makes Dr. Burak truly an extraordinary doctor:

• Kindness, attentiveness, and warmth – I felt so comfortable asking every question and voicing every concern. It took me 10 years to work up the courage to do this procedure, and Dr. Burak and his team continue to support me in every step of the journey – from my initial “research” stage until after I’ve traveled back home after the surgery. If I go back and count my questions, I’m sure I have surpassed the 100 mark.
• Skillset and versatility – unlike the other surgeons in Turkey that I extensively researched, Burak tailors his technique and tools based on the patient case. He also has a robust exposure to thick skin and more complicated patient cases. This is extremely important with the complex anatomy each patient brings to the table to prevent complications or undesirable outcomes requiring costly revision. From my correspondence with over 15 doctors, I felt that many other surgeons in Turkey, with the volume of patients they get, pitched the same thing to all – Dr Burak is talented enough to tailor his techniques.
• Genuine motivation and passion – Dr. Burak has a keen eye for what will serve his patients best and brought that energy to each of my appointments and to the operating theatre.
• Respect for what makes “you” you – Dr. Burak’s brand is “natural and elegant.” He will not give you a nose that does not match your facial features. Without me needing to advocate for a natural result, he was able to describe a perfect fit for me, and the pictures off the operating table have me thrilled and excited to heal.

I had a 10/10 experience with Dr. Burak Alhan. I did extensive searching and landed on him as my surgeon out of a gut feeling. I’m SO happy I trusted my gut. From start to finish everything was perfect. His assistants responded to all my 100+ questions that I had almost daily for months leading up to the surgery. Being from Canada I was able to do a video consultation beforehand and again they took the time to answer any and all questions and concerns. The private transport was super helpful, they picked us up in a fancy Mercedes van, took to/from airport and all the appointments/hosptial. The day of arrival had an in depth consultation and never felt rushed. I wasn’t even aware I had a crooked septum which he fixed during surgery to help me breathe better. I had printed out a photoshop of what I wanted my nose to look like and gave it to him to refer to during surgery (3rd photo) As you can see my results are identical to that photo. His work was literal magic. I’m over the moon with my new nose, I couldn’t be any happier!

The best surgeon!! I am from the UK, I had a botched nose job in England, I decided to travel to Istanbul for a revision rhinoplasty. It felt scary because my situation was really bad and only a skilled surgeon with lots of experience could help me. Plus in the UK they make you believe that going to Turkey might be unsafe, which it can be if you go to the wrong places! Dr. Burak is a wonderful surgeon, his knowledge is big, he explained everything in so much detail and made me feel confident in my choice. He reassured that he wouldn’t be leaving the operating room without giving his 100%. That’s when I knew he was the one. I needed a total nose reconstruction, my nose had been ruined by the surgeon in England. Fast forward to now, 5 months post op, everything went well DESPITE my surgery being extremely tricky and high risk. This was only possible due to the skills of Dr. Burak. I can finally breath from my nose, and I look the prettiest ever (and I wasn’t even an aesthetic patient of his!) I’ll be forever grateful to him, he actually listens to your concerns yet is honest and real. Also, the clinic is the most stunning clinic I’ve ever seen, staff very friendly, I was taken care well by the hospital staff too. You won’t regret choosing Dr. Burak Alhan as your surgeon.

Sevgili doktorum Burak Alhan ile tan??t???m andan itibaren verdi?i güven ile çok güzel bir rinoplasti süreci geçirdim. Sizi dinleyen, anlayan, isteklerinize yönelik oluru olmaz? söyleyen, gereksiz i?lemlerden kaç?nan ve en önemlisi do?all??? ön planda tutan müthi? bir hekim kendisi. Ameliyat?m? olal? üç ay oldu. Kapal? teknikle morluk, a?r?, ac? olmadan müthi? bir ameliyat yapt? kesinlikle doktor bey. Ameliyat sonras? ilgisi, güler yüzü, endi?elerinize kar?? tutumu, bir abi gibi yakla??m? bu süreçte kendimi daha rahat hissettirdi. Onunla tan??t???m için ve bu süreci onunla geçirdi?im için kendimi çok ?ansl? hissediyorum. Ve ona çok te?ekkür ediyorum.

I am taking my research for plastic surgeons very seriously. Not easy to decide in Istanbul, where there are so many great doctors. Still, some of them stand out and I am very happy that Dr.Alhan was my doctor. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, experienced and mostly kind.
I am now at 6 weeks from the surgery, I know is still a long wait for the final results, but first impressions were great. The changes are not drastically, which I was looking for, mostly from the side. Nobody even noticed I had a surgery, which is also amazing. I only needed a correction and not changing my face and that's exactly dr.Alhan delivered.
To have a detailed explanation about my surgery is not helpful, because everybody is differed, with different needs and even expectations. I can tell that Dr. Burak will meet all these. Your nose will be perfect after, no matter what you were looking for. And I was looking for natural and classy.
The doctor explained all the surgery details from our first virtual appointment till the end. Keep in mind I flew from Canada to meet him.

The heeling process is also quite personal. however, is not a really difficult one. I didn't have a major swelling on my face, yes some bruises but not drastically. I did, still do have my nose swollen. Not as after a fight, but not at the final stage as I mention. Be patient, follow the doctor instructions and all will be great.
Dr.Alhan knows what he is doing, trust him and all will be fine. Highly recommend it. The care during and after the surgery, transportation and hospitalization were taking care of.
I had my virtual 1 month follow up and will probably have more. Dr.Alhan is there, answering patiently to all my questions. I am very happy with my decision and my results. Thank you Dr Alhan and his team!

I had a rhinoplasty in July 2022 at clinic arts with Dr Alhan. I have a very thick skinned nose and I had a deviated septum (I think that’s what it’s called). Dr Alhan gave me the most honest and realistic expectations for my nose on our consultation, as soon as I met him I felt very at ease about the whole procedure. The whole team treated my mum and me so nicely we felt like we were family. Atakan the patient coordinator was so lovely he felt like a brother to me. Travelling for plastic surgery to another country is daunting but the staff made us feel so at ease and welcomed. Our driver Zaffar was also so so lovely and caring. I couldn’t recommend clinic arts enough. I actually had a bleeding problem during the surgery because I have an bleeding disorder (I didn’t know it at the time but am currently under investigation in the UK for it) this made the surgery longer than expected and recovery was hard. However Dr Alhan was AMAZING!! He really helped me so much through the recovery and even though my nose was so swollen when I left Turkey I already loved it so much. 

Now after 5 months post op I am so in love with my new nose, it’s so unbelievably natural yet perfect. My self confidence has grown so much, I take a million pictures with my daughter and husband now when before I would always hide from having pictures taken. I love my nose, I still look like me but a much better version. Dr Alhan also did tear trough fillers on myself and my mum and after 5 months they still look great and so natural. (My mum is a complete perfectionist and she’s very hard to please, so when she’s happy then trust me ITS GOOD). Trust the Dr when he says to be patient with swelling and the slight upturn because in time all of that resolves itself and you will have the most perfect natural nose ever!!! The skin specialist lady who works at clinic arts also addressed an issue my mum had on her forehead whilst we were waiting for the Dr to remove my casts and she was ever so lovely about it and removed the concern for my mum as a gift!!!! Honestly I cannot recommend Dr Alhan and clinic arts more, the way I felt about my nose made me very insecure and I hid myself. Now I can be and feel confident and pretty and it’s helped me talk more to people and go out more. I just love it and it’s not even been 12 months yet so I know il love it even more in another year. TRUST THE PROCESS!!! Thanks again clinic arts!!!!!
