WORTH IT$3,800
2,5 years has passed and I’m still not satisfied with my nose. I’ve decided to get another surgery but it won’t be until next year. I haven’t decided which doctor yet, but I’m thinking of Dr Emre Ilhan or Ali Murat Akkus. Here are som recent photos of my nose.

What don’t you like about your nose? It seems to fit your face and looks symmetrical.
Did you tell him your were unhappy?
No I didn’t. It’s not a bad job, I’m just still not satisfied with my nose. And that’s only my opinion so I don’t know why I should tell him that.
Yup, I was going to say he left you with way better than before and gave you a natural look. Wish I could say the same :( sometimes revision isn’t worth it because you risk getting worse but all the best xx
that curvy/crooked tip you have from abdulkadir is what emre gave to me too i had my primary with him, my nose used to be bone straight and he still managed to make it crooked , bone sticking out in the middle, wider and with dents in my nose. Im now recovering from a revision but i dunno if im happy yet .. but choose wisely
Did you end up getting a revision?
Dear wickurt, I’d love to hear if you did a revision.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Abdulkadir too, and I have the similar problems as yours ( rounded, wide and crooked bridge, bulbous tip and a mild saddle nose deformity).

Also I am thinking for a revision.

I first want to apologize if my english isn't so...

I first want to apologize if my english isn't so good. I hope you can read and understand it anyway :)

Ever since i was 14 years old I've wanted to do a nose surgery. I've always thought my nose has been too wide and clumsy for my face. After many years of research on the internet I realised that the doctors in Turkey were one of the best, and I decided to contact Dr.Göksel after I saw the pictures of all his nice works.

When I first met Dr.Göksel at his office, I instantly felt that I was on the right place. He really listened to my wishes, and then he showed me what he actually could do with my nose and told me why. He were really realistic so that I wouldn't have too high expectations.

The hospital were really nice and the nurses were very helpful and caring. The surgery went well and I couldn't feel any pain at all, I just were very tired. One day later I could go back to my hotel. After a week I visited Dr.Göksels office again to take away the stitches and check if the nose looked well. He also called me when I got back home to Sweden to see if everything was okay.

I'm so happy that I did this surgery, I'm not regretting it at all!
If I look at myself in profile, I'm really feeling satisfied. But I think the nose still looks quite clumsy and crooked from the front. I'm considering a new nose surgery to try to fix the wide part but I'll have to wait about a year before that. Dr.Göksel is REALLY good at what he's doing, and I know he did the best he could with my nose. I'm so happy that I chosed him! :)

My only advice is to do a lot of research, find a doctor who creates noses that you like, and be clear about what you dislike about your nose and how you wish to change it. Show some photos of noses you like, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Hello dear
How much did you pay? Open or closed surgery?
Regards S
Hi!
I paid 3800$, and I had a open surgery :)
You look great! I think the "crookiness" you are experencing is just post-op swelling. Natural look
Thanks, I hope so aswell. But it's been a year now and it still looks the same.. Time will tell ;)
Hi - I was wondering what he told you regarding fixing the tip of your nose? You said it still looked wide and crooked. Did it get better with time? Did he tell you he couldn't fix that part? I am about to schedule a surgery with him too and I am mainly unhappy with the tip of my nose and the way it looks from the front so I hope he can actually improve it.
Hi :)
Would you still recommend him even though your nose is still a bit crooked?
Thank you very much for your review. It was very helpful. I hope you will get 100% happy after revision rhinoplasty.
Hey Beautiful! How is your nose looking?
