I would give 100 stars if I could!
I chose Dr. Cem Alt?nda? not only for his renowned expertise in cosmetic surgery in Turkey, but also for his background as an Otolaryngologist.
Our first video chat set the tone – he was honest but reassuring about the procedure and its potential hiccups, especially with my thick skin and severely deviated septum.
My overall surgery experience was pleasant and smooth. They even took care of my husband, who had accompanied me.
The nurses left no stone unturned, making sure I felt safe and comfortable. They ran numerous tests until they were sure I was good to be discharged.
Contrary to warnings, I had no breathing issues immediately after surgery or even during recovery when swelling is usually at its highest. I experienced minimal swelling and bruising but did battle a pretty intense migraine during the first three days post-surgery.
Even though it takes over a year for the nose to settle into its final form, after 3 weeks into recovery and with its swollen state, I am already in love with my new nose – smaller, attractive, and naturally me.
The success of this surgery is solely attributed to the doctor's exceptional technical expertise and the staff's outstanding competence, rather than any luxurious amenities.
I would choose Dr. Alt?nda? again and again. Excellent bedside manners, realistic and trustworthy.
Special thanks to Melisa, who coordinated the whole stay from arrival to Istanbul, the accommodation including transportation and Dr. Mohamed A. for their exceptional support and efficiency in making this experience as pleasant as possible from start to end.

Here are the requested before photos, showcasing a beautiful transformation that appears incredibly natural. I anticipate patiently for the swelling to subside, understanding that it may persist for some time due to my thick skin texture.
