Galip Arda Pelen, MD

I had my surgery in May of 2023 so its currently been 1.5 years as I'm writing this out. I was very impressed with the overall experience. I Dr. Pelen based on his Instagram and reviews online - and it also felt very safe that he operated at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital as its one of the best private hospitals. I arrived the day before to have some blood drawn and get a feel for the hospital, and on the day of the operation I met with Dr. Pelen to discuss my wants. He was honest with his thoughts and I decided to tell him my wants from the operation - but ultimately to do what he thought best as he is the expert. The overall experience at the hospital with the nurses was also great - keep in mind majority will not speak much English - but this was easily solved through Google Translate. My healing journey was a bit difficult in the first few days due to a lot of swelling in my face - but this is very individual I've come to learn) and remained quite swollen for a few weeks - however at around 6 months P.O I felt it was fairly healed - but I would say the 12 month mark really made the difference with no more swelling at all :) As you can see in the photos - the nose has changed quite a lot since the first week post surgery. TRUST THE PROCESS. I definitely felt uglier the first few weeks, but was prepared I would not feel great about it immediately as I had read this over and over again in different online forums from people who had already gone through rhinoplasty. I am super happy with the results and finally don't feel the need to hide my nose from the worst angles. t now suits my face, and has enhanced the rest of my features. My face now looks more symmetric. 100% recommend Dr. Pelen :)

I had a medical rhinoplasty 1 year ago because I had a bump on my nose and I admit that at the time it changed my life! I have gained much more confidence in myself and for people who have small modifications to make on the nose to make it prettier I recommend it 100% and the result is so natural

I had an amazing experience from start to finish with Dr Arda Pelen and his team, they are all extremely professional and accommodating. Dr Pelen answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. His bedside manners, intelligence, and professionalism is out of this world. I told him what I wanted and he gave me exactly what I asked for. I will recommend anyone to Dr Pelen. Thank you so much!

I chose Dr Arda as I saw amazing results from two of my friends who had a rhinoplasty with him. I had no doubt in my mind about his work but my results exceeded my own expectations. His talent is more than a nose job, he gives you the nose that suits your facial features and looks perfect to you as an individual! flawless and natural and super flattering! He’s really a master of his craft. the experience was wonderful, VIP service throughout the entire process, all staff were so kind and helpful and accommodating. I was extremely comfortable the entire time. No anxiety and no struggle. The doctor is very professional and reliable. I really loved the whole experience, couldn’t ask for anything more or fault even one moment. Photos are now all from one month post op, i couldn’t be happier! Thank you foreverrr xx

I did so much research to find the most suitable Dr for my rhinoplasty for about 2 years and I came across Dr.Ardapelen. His work is amazing. Him and his assistant guided be throughout the whole journey and made sure my experience was great.

I am grateful that I found Dr. Galip Arda Pelen, because he fulfilled my dream of having a beautiful nose with a perfect shape. The transformation he has made for my nose is pure art, I am very happy with the result and I did not expect it to come out so well. The doctor is a kind and understanding person in terms of respecting the patient's wishes. And the conditions of the hospital where he performed his operations were amazing, the people there are wonderful and they helped me to relax and get rid of emotions.

Proud and thankful for Dr. G. Arda Pelen. I have been anticipating getting a rhinoplasty for many years now. After a long wait and doing a thorough research in finding a doctor that will make my vision come to life, I had viewed his profile on this website. Dr. G. Arda Pelen communicated with me at our consultation, before the surgery and in my follow-up in English and he listened to all my concerns. The doctor also asked if I had experienced trauma to my nose from previous years which I had forgotten to mention but was grateful for his knowledge and insight. Honestly, I am not sure if I can do him any justice with mere words. I am quite the most picky and anxious person you can run into and this experience thanks to Dr. Pelen resulted to a wonderful result, that I am happy and quite content with (my nose). Tips: -voice out your concerns, pictures you aspire to have your nose resemble (keep in mind if it’s realistic, the doctor will guide you and be fully transparent) -have any questions up and ready, preferably on a notes app (I got nervous and lost my train of thought then lol) -you can visit Dr. G. Arda Pelen’s Instagram page to find the numbers posted to communicate and get briefed (seeking surgery date, etc)
