Erkan Soylu, MD

I had a nose revision surgery with Doctor Soylu in September 2024. The entire surgery and the hospital was very well, the hospital looks like a 5-star hotel, the nurses are great. Doctor Erkan Soylu himself is a mega doctor, he talks a lot and explains what he will do during the operation, he knows exactly what he is doing like an artist, he likes his job, I know I was in the best hands. He fixed my nose after a Polish botch job. He straightened my nose, reduced it, straightened the nasal septum, I can breathe great now. I am very pleased with the effect and if anyone is thinking about a nose surgery, I recommend it with all my heart only with Doctor Erkan Soylu!

It's been two years since my surgery due to this i wanted to make this comment. I know how difficult it is to find a good surgeon and I want to help others who suffers through the same things with me by sharing my own experiences. It has been two years since my surgery with Dr. Erkan. Unfortunately I had a previous unsuccessful operation. Anyone who has had a bad experience before knows that the entire process after a failed surgery is very difficult, especially psychologically. You dream of a beautiful nose but at the end you are left with an irregular, collapsed nose that is even worse than your original nose! It is a huge disappointment and a really exhausting process… While researching for my revision I consulted with many surgeons because I could no longer leave my nose to chance and I really wanted to get a good result. When I met with Dr. Erkan, I knew he was the right person. He listens to you and tells you what needs to be done. He detected the problems even before you mention about them. His confidence and knowing what to do made me feel comfortable… When I look back I can say that it was the best decision I ever made after an unsuccessful surgery. I wish I know him before and he performed my first surgery but there is no point to think about the past anymore. Now, I am happy and really love my nose!! That's the only thing that matters. I know that perfect results should not be expected in revision surgeries, but every time I look at my nose, all I think about is how beautiful it is. After having an ugly nose in the middle of my face and not being able to breathe properly in years he gave me back my beauty, my breath and my life. The hospital staff and assistants were all caring. The whole process went smoothly, you can see how professional they are and how systematic everything is. I am so thankful and I recommend him without hesitation!!

I would like to make a review about my experience with Erkan Soylu. He performed my primary surgery and I am currently postoperative fourth year. I meet him by my friend who had a revision surgery with him and I am glad that. I would like to say that I am very happy with the result. I had a crooked and big nose for my face. I really wouldn't love my nose and couldn’t breathe well because of deviation. I wanted a very natural nose. Nobody understand that I had any nose surgery and I am really happy for this. It is exactly what I wanted and it is very beautiful in years. My whole process was very comfortable, I didn’t had any problems during the process.
When I wanted to see him and get an examination, I was able to communicate easily and was welcomed very warmly despite that many years have passed. He and his team are really professional. I see how correct my decision.
I wanted to make this comment because I am grateful for everything and I hope it will be useful for those who are looking for a true surgeon. I highly recommend him.

I wanted to commend Dr. Soylu and his team for their amazing work. My experience with them has been outstanding on all accounts. I am one of his international patients from London. I did extensive research for which doctor to choose and settled on Dr. Soylu because of the beautiful aesthetics his noses have, his tailored approach to each patient, and also because he is an ENT. From the moment I met Dr. Soylu, I felt very reassured and knew I was in the right hands. He does an amazing job of listening to his patients and he also took time to evaluate my entire face to fit my nose. The consultation process felt like a collaboration.

The surgery itself and the medical tests also went very smoothly. His team did a great job of guiding me through the process, and it felt nice to just show up and have everything already taken care of from hotels to transfers. My one slight hiccup was having a vein in my hand "manhandled" prior to surgery, but this was done by someone I suspect was a medstudent. Also, there were some conflicting post-op instructions but as soon as I had any questions, I texted Dr. Soylu's assistant who explained it all to me. During recovery, I sent Dr. Soylu several texts to ask questions to which he responded promptly. It was so calming to have my doctor there with me through the process to make sure everything was okay.

I had a very difficult nose with a deviated septum, which many ENTs have told me even before I went to Dr. Soylu. I'm still in the beginning stages of healing with some swelling left, but my nose now looks amazing and like what I asked for. Even better than I wanted, since it fits my face so well!

I am very grateful to Dr. Soylu. If you are someone from abroad looking into it, I would say this may have been a smoother journey than anything I have had done at home. I can't say enough good things about this doctor, and I would recommend him 100%! I am 2 weeks post-op and will add more information if needed later.

Dr Erkan Soylu has done an amazing job fixing my Nose.
I had my revision March last year, my nose is so beautiful, it was beautiful from the moment the cast was removed.
He does very natural noses ( not the curved side profile)
I meet a girl getting her cast off, When I went for my initial consultation. Her nose was STUNNING she showed me her before pics & I knew I had made the right decision (even though she is white).
He is a very pleasant, professional & honest. His English is not perfect, however I could understand & he has an interpreter there to translate
He under promised & over delivered. His team are 10 out of 10 can’t fault anything.
He operates out of Medipol hospital ( a lot of Turkish Dr are operating in clinics) he has an office & blacked out photo studio there. The room is completely black & they take pictures, that are on the large screens in the operating room, the entire hospital is stunning, you have a private spotless room, the nurses are wonderful everything was perfect.
MY NOSE he fixed EVERYTHING (see my other post)
My nose looks so beautiful a year on. It fits my face amazingly. Everyone everywhere tells me how pretty I am.
The healing process was straightforward.
With rhinoplasty you go through an ugly stage, trust the process.
I still have swelling in the tip ( rhinoplasty takes 2yrs to heal). Even at this stage it’s so pretty.
I can’t remember how much I paid i think it was $8500, non revisions are cheaper.
If you want pictures go to his instagram & look at Ethnic nose, Prof. Dr. Erkan Soylu @erkan.ent
I booked the package where the sort the hotel & pick ups. I stayed at Centro westside, standard room with breakfast & you can have some stay with you (no extra cost). The hotel was fine, breakfast was ok & so was their menu. Everyone knows it’s cheaper to buy food outside the hotel & there are options but you need to take a taxi, the hotel exists on to a motorway road, the mall is across the road & there is loads of food options
I’ll answer any questions
It was 100% worth it, I would defo recommend (especially for “ethnic” people)

I had a very difficult deformity of my nose with also functional problems. Because of that it was very important to find a specialist.
Mr. Soylu is a real professional in the field of rhinoplasty. Thx Doc.
Updated on 3 Apr 2023:
Ich wurde am 17.03. operiert. Neben der optischen Unzufriedenheit lag bei mir auch ein funtionelles Problem vor, sprich ich hab sehr schlecht atmen können. Daher war es umso wichtiger einem Fachmann zu begegnen. Über meine ärztlichen Kollegen bin ich auf Herrn Prof. Soylu gestoßen. Zu erwähnen ist hier, dass er ein sehr professionelles Team hat. Man wird Schritt für Schritt begleitet. Zuerst erfolgt die Vorstellung in der Sprechstunde, hier untersucht er dich und fragt was für ein Aussehen du dir wünschst und was überhaupt nicht und zeigst ihm 2-3 Fotos von deiner Wunschvorstellung. Er vermittelt einem die Sicherheit, sodass man sich nicht den Kopf zerbricht bis zur OP. Ich bin mit dem Endergebnis extrem zufrieden.

I travelled from England to Istanbul, Turkey on May 8th this year. I had my pre-op tests and appointment with Dr Erkan Soylu at the Medipol Hospital on the 9th of May, and then had my operation on the 10th of May.

I found out I had a deviated septum at my pre op consultation (which is something I had wondered about for years!) so Dr Erkan said he would repair that problem as well as make all the cosmetic changes (lift droopy tip, create symmetrical nostrils, curve the nose, make it shorter, remove boxy tip) to my nose that we had discussed.

All the staff I met at the hospital were lovely, and I have a special mention for Mohammad Joud who assisted me the whole time I was at the pre-operative appointment. Thank you Mohammad!

On the day of my operation, everything went well. I woke up with just a painful throat from being tubed whilst asleep - I barely had any pin in my nose at all! I stayed the whole day and night and was sent home the following morning. The care was great, my boyfriend stayed the night with me in the hospital and the Medipol premises itself is outstanding.

I spent the next six days cooped up in my hotel room. Had some headaches and just felt extremely congested as I had to have silicone tampons up my nose. But I was well to walk around. Talking and eating was a little difficult- every movement pulled on my nose which felt weird! So a bit of advice is to definitely get some food that is not too cheery for the first few days post op! And drink with straws!

Seven days after my operation day I went back to the hospital to have my stitches, tampons, cast and bandages removed which were all pretty painless. I saw my new nose briefly for a few minutes before I went through to see Dr Soylu. Unfortunately for me, I had a haematoma (sounds worse than it is - it’s when a bruise doesn’t re-absorb back into the skin like it should). Dr Soylu drained it for me with a needle and then re-taped my nose. I was told to leave the tape on for a further ten days (to help with swelling).

When I briefly saw my nose, I loved it (despite the bruise!) and Dr Soylu honestly did everything I asked him to do. It’s crazy how my nose looks so different but I still look like me!

I flew home the same night I had my bandages changed. No problems at the airport as I was provided with a letter from the team at the hospital that stated my details and explained I had had a rhinoplasty etc.

I am now nineteen days post op. My tapes are now completely off. My haematoma has gone but my nose is still swollen all over and it is very delicate and tender to touch. However, it’s still looks amazing and is completely different to before - it’s only going to get even better over the next few months as the swelling goes down!

I do have a little bit of white string on my nose tip. I am not sure what it is, but I have messaged the team to ask and will update this when I know.

I will post some photos to compare the before and after now.

In 2017 I got my first rhinoplasty in Istanbul (Turkey). I had breathing problems, but mostly because of esthetic reasons. Right after my first nose job I noticed that the tip of my nose was still very droopy and it became droopier every month. After some timed passed I saw that my nose formed a polly beak deformity. Unfortunately the (first) doctor was very unexperienced and he ruined my nose. After a lot of research I found doctor Erkan Soylu in 2022. What got my attention the most is the fact that he does a lot of revisions and I know that not every doctor has the capacity to perform a revision. But when I saw his work I was very impressed and convinced that he was the only doctor who could fix my nose. Right now my nose looks completely different. He literally solved all my problems. Every time when I look in the mirror I’m in awe. If you consider a revision, please don’t look for a different address. Also, his work is very feminine and natural. He creates big changes but for an outsider hard to see that you underwent plastic surgery cause it looks so natural. He listens to your wishes but at the same time he really knows what kind of nose shape suits your face the best. He is hands down the best surgeon you can find in Turkey (no doubt about that!). His work deserves way more recognition (cause I have the feeling that he is a little bit “overlooked”) but I’m sure his patients are growing everyday. I’m very grateful for the fact that I found him. I can finally say that I have my “dream nose” !

My recent experience with Dr. Erkan was more than perfect. I decided to have my nose job done in Turkey so I started my own research to have a clear understanding about the surgery and to know exactly what I want and most importantly the Doctor who's going to make it. For several months I checked the work of many doctors and their reviews. I felt that Dr. Erkan is the right choice. I had a good feeling even before I meet him . I contacted him and his team .everything was amazing. I met Dr. Erkan a day before the surgery. That day I felt that I'm 100% sure that I did the right decision to have the surgery with him. I didn't even show him any picture of my dream nose ! Just told him that I trust him and trust his work and I'm pretty sure I'm in safe hands. I did my surgery the second day ,every thing was perfect ! Plus my recovery was going very well.
My trip from day one till I travelled back to Canada is a beautiful experience. The Organizing, the Doctor , the hospital, and the whole team . I highly recommend Dr. Erkan for anyone considering a nose Job you will be in safe hands Thank you So much Dr. Erkan Soylu.

Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you my experience about my rhinoplasty surgery process that I experienced with Erkan Soylu. I got to know Mr Erkan thanks to his Instagram account. It was even my twin sister who recommended it to me.Together with my sister, we made an appointment with the doctor and visited him. He gave me confidence that he could make a suitable nose for my face at our first meeting. In this process, we had 3 doctors in mind, but after meeting with Mr. Erkan, we immediately eliminated other options. After our first meeting, we decided to have the surgery and stated that we wanted to get the surgery date as soon as possible. I had surgery a month after my twin sister. Now it's been 3.5 months since my surgery date. I was having trouble breathing, I had a nose with an inverted C deformity, a large arch, and normal skin. Over time, the arch on my nose began to become more pronounced and the tip of my nose began to fall more downwards. I was very afraid of the operation process, but there was never anything to be afraid of. After the surgery, I had no bruises on my face, just like my twin sister. I did not have swelling and pain. My post-operative period was very easy thanks to my doctor. He also shared his personal number with us and we reached him immediately for the slightest problem. I am very happy with the general appearance of my nose and the fact that I can breathe comfortably now. My sister and I both have very natural looking noses. We thank him very much in this process. We will visit him regularly for control purposes for 2 years from the date of surgery. I hope I was able to help those who want to know about him.
