Very happy with the appearance of my nose
I am 63 years old. Since childhood, I have struggled with breathing through my nose, which has also caused sleep issues. Over the years, most doctors I consulted recommended surgery, though a few said it wasn’t necessary. This left me hesitant, and I avoided it. About three months ago, I reached out to Associate Professor Dr. Kerem Sami Kaya. With warm, sincere, and friendly explanations, he thoroughly described the condition of my nose and explained why I was unable to breathe. He told me I had a deviated septum, a collapsed area on the sides near the front, and that my nasal tip had gradually drooped downward with age. Altogether, these factors made it nearly impossible for me to breathe, and he recommended surgery. He also mentioned that, beyond corrective surgery, he could make aesthetic adjustments if I wished. I said that, as long as my natural appearance wouldn’t change much, I was open to it, and together we designed the post-surgery look of my nose. I prepared for surgery in a hospital environment that was clean, well-organized, and staffed with smiling, competent professionals who inspired confidence. The surgery was long but went smoothly. I had no issues in the recovery period either. Despite being on blood thinners, I didn’t experience any bleeding and didn’t even need to take painkillers. Since Dr. Kerem doesn’t use nasal packing, I also avoided the nasal packing discomfort I’d heard about from other patients, which might have been part of my reluctance toward surgery. I am also very happy with the appearance of my nose. Thank you, dear doctor.
