Dr. Gorkem Atsal Clinic - Istanbul

Had my revision done in June 2024. I am happy with my nose. Dr. Görkem and his team are very caring. Dr. Görkem not only fix my nose he also help my old surgery scar fade way. My side profile of my face is fantastic. His assistant is so kind and gorgeous. She let me use her phone charger during my whole stay because my adapter fell out on the plane. The taxi driver was helpful. He took me to the store to get water, juice and snacks for my room. Thank you Dr. GÖRKEM for fixing something I was concerned about. I can't wait to come to Turkey and visit you. I am recommending everyone to you.

I miei primi e sinceri complimenti vanno al Dottor. Gorkem Atsal per la sua immensa empatia, esperienza, bravura e professionalità, si vede anche dal modo in cui ha scelto il suo team di ragazzi fantastici. Tratta i suoi pazienti con amore e hai la sensazione di affidarti ad una persona che conosci da tutta la vita e per questo tutte le tue paure diminuiscono notevolmente. Il mio naso è perfetto, respiro meglio, ho realizzato il sogno di tutta la mia vita. Per altro, già al mio risveglio ho potuto fin da subito respirare, e a parte il gonfiore e la normale pressione, è tutto molto facile. Un grazie ad Enes e Dilara per la loro delicatezza e simpatia nel trattare i pazienti, e a tutte le infermiere dell’Erdem hospital. Un grazie speciale alla coordinatrice Zozan che mi ha assistita in tutto il mio percorso dall’inizio alla fine, e che elevando al meglio ogni punto forza del suo team e del dottore, mi ha convinta e resa felice. Non potevo fare scelta migliore per affrontare questa esperienza. Grazie a tutto il team del dottor Gorkem Atsal, cambiate la vita alle persone.

I had surgery on my face. Rhinoplasty and midface lift. The doctor is professional and competent. Always listens to the opinion and wants only the best. The operation was successful. The results exceeded all expectations. I personally recommend it.

A pleasant experience, quality services and a team always ready to help. We are very satisfied with the result.very glad on final result,we are happy but more satisfied is that our son are so happy with the result,thank you good team,love you!!!!

I’m so happy with the result one year after surgery! I wanted a natural nose and I got it! The doctor and assistants are very kind and careful, I don’t have pain only little discomfort. My surgery has been 1,5 hours.

Do not recommend. Messed up on my fat grafting and my lift , he put to much fat under my eyes. I went back again a second time he said he could fix it for free but it was still done incorrectly. I will post another screenshot of DR GORKEM messing up someone’s nose

Cannot advise avoiding him enough. This so-called clinic is money hungry and has no care for patients, I don't understand why I ever expected otherwise frankly. I flew into istanbul and did all my pre-surgery prep before even having my consultation with the doctor... can you imagine that? blood tests, anesthesia assessment, ALL that before even seeing the doctor FOR THE FIRST TIME? That tells you where the doctor's head is at, they absolutely want you to get something done. Good medical practice obviously would be meeting the patient and discussing things with them prior to doing any kind of surgery prep... not for Dr Atsal. The teams prep you for surgery first and only then does the doctor consult with you. As I've found out this is routinely how they deal with all patients. Can you imagine the kind of pressure that adds onto a patient? definitely tells you how much the doctor cares about doing the right thing for you...which is that he doesn't, he just wants you to pay up. What good doctor put surgery prep BEFORE a consult? When it came to a consultation mine lasted 10 mins max and it took place in a hospital bed with me wearing a hospital robe...Again tells you where the doctor's head is at doesn't it? Have you ever heard of someone having a consultation in a hospital bed? in a robe? its insanity! Literally right after those 10 minutes were up I went directly to surgery. No reflection time at all, you are a quick buck to these people and nothing more. Noone including the doctor treats surgery like the serious decision that it is... I went to discuss getting my nose done and even after I told the doctor many times I wasn't sure about doing my nose and kept on saying no to morphs that the staff kept on showing... they kept on showing me more and more morphs... endlessly. After i semi-settled on one the doctor didn't explain anything at all regarding the morph and what it involved. I asked about my nostrils and only after i asked him did I find out he wanted to perform an alarplasty...its NOT up to the patient to understand procedures! the doctor should explain them in detail AND leave room for reflection. I said no to the alarplasty (its a hard line for me! I don't want small michael jackson nostrils!) and was never shown an updated morph of my nose to help me better understand what I would look like. So now i have massive flared nostrils and dealing with a major lack of projection...and yup again none of this was explained to me. The doctor also lowered my bridge which i NEVER asked for. He also did a turbinate reduction that was never discussed in consult...once again a great doctor all around! you can get empty nose syndrome from turbinate reductions. Its serious stuff. I wish i never did my nose, literally the second i woke up from surgery i KNEW it was a mistake. I cried my entire first night in the hospital. But of course I payed up so they got what they wanted...now its up to me to pick up the pieces...I tried to stay positive in the beginning especially they told me it was all just swelling but i can tell you this mistake haunts me everyday. If you go to a doctor please go to one who understands the importance of reflection time, the importance of properly explaining procedures and a doctor who doesn't rush you into doing something as serious as surgery on your FACE. You need a doctor with a human touch, this is not at all the case with Dr Atsal OR his team. The doctor also advertised free revisions on his instagram but once again that was also a lie....Why wouldn't it be? its a business and you a product to them and nothing more. I can go on and on and on, please avoid. Dr atsal nor his staff are the right people for you. My nose looks awful and my mental health has taken a massive nosedive. I've lost so much of myself after this.
