From about the age of 18 I have wanted to get a nose job but have always worried what it will look like and If I will like the results. I don’t want it to completely change the way I look just want a subtle change. As time has gone on I have become more obsessed about my nose, I think about it every day, I will only have my pictures taken on one side as my bump looks bigger on one side than it does the other. I have also noticed that over time by bump on the bridge of my nose has got worse. I do not like my side profile at all (i dont think its awful) but think my nose is too big for my face and do not like how it dips down slightly. I think it is worse from front profile as my bump makes my face look un symmetrical. I just want a it to be straight / symmetrical and for the tip to be lifted ever so slightly.

After a lot of deliberation and research I have decided to go with Emre Ilhan in Istanbul. He has lots of good reviews and a lot of his previous patients seem to be happy with his results. However I am still a bit worried and hope I have made the right choice. He performs open rhinoplasty, however uses a cutting technique rather than breaking the nose to reduce swelling and bruising.

Anyone that has had any experiences with Dr Emre Ilhan please let me know as would love to hear of your experience.I will update again after op with photos please feel free to message me with any questions. Wish me luck!!!

When is your rhino date by Emre Ilhan? I will also have revision by him. But i am not sure yet. Can you share your experience?

Jesseeka

October 31, 2014

My rhino date is April 23rd (Thats how long the waiting list is), however i fly out on 18th as i have been advised i need to arrive 5 days before surgery for the pre-op consultations. I will have 3 consultations before the surgery. (Photographing/simulation and a detailed planning of the op) When was you thinking of getting yours done? Of course i will share my experience. Do you know anyone else that has been with him? I have done alot of research and all the reveiws seem very positive so im trusting him to do a good job :) ..

Oh thats nice! I have my first consultation on18th April! It is a revision, so i am a bit nervouse about ot. I had my first rhino last year at December. Also in Istanbul. But another doc. I also read many positive reviews about him. Thats why I will go to him for a second opinion. May I have my op in summer of 2015. Do you have instagram I can follow your nosejob?:))

Thats when i am having my first consultation at 2.00pm.. :( i hope everything goes well for you. Are you from Istanbul? Who was it who performed your first op? What is it that you dont like about your nose now? Emre Ilhan is meant to be good at revisions. Wish you all the luck! I will inbox you my instagram.

haha maybe I will meet you, my first consultation is about 4pm. I am from Holland but Turkish:) My first nosejob did Fevzi Yavas. His clinic is at the same district as Emre Ilhan. But I didnt knew Emre Ilhan before. My tip is assymetric and the middle of my nose is deformed, inverted V demority they call :) I dont speak English well, sorry about it :)

Hello Jess, My choice is also Dr. Emre Ilhan. I had a first consultation a couple of weeks ago and now I am scheduled for operation for December 8, 2015. Long wait but there is a long line. I was very happy with Dr. on my first consultation as he sounds very professional and confident. Moreover he is very pleasant person which makes me feel safe and relaxed. I will be happy to see your results and wish you good luck! If you have a chance please let me know about any details I may need before/after operation. I will be travelling from Ukraine so I am a little bit worried about the whole process. With Kind regards, Anna

Hi girls, just wondering as personally I am worried to book with emre illhan ONLY for the reason that he will never have seen my pictures/my nose until I will have booked and paid and flown out etc, what if he can't do much for me? I don't know what to do :(

Jesseeka

July 30, 2015

That was the same with me.. Most good doctors won't agree to operate until they have seen the nose in person, as they need to assess it.. That is a good thing! I did lots of research and felt very confident in Dr Ilhan before meeting him.. It is your choice and you have to feel comfortable as it is a big thing.. Best of luck to you :)

Emre Ilhan is bad.

September 12, 2015

Hi Mahnoosh, it's the first time I see someone say Emre Ilhan is bad as I've read a lot of good reviews about him and always see pictures of his patients with their new nose and they all look really good. Could you please explain why you think he's bad? Have you or anyone else had a bad experience with him?

Ting545

September 13, 2015

No I did research and Emre Ilhan do photoshop his before and after pictures. He has been sued aswell. Its up to you who you decide to choose. But I would not take that risk.

Jesseeka

September 13, 2015

Hi Mahoosh Dr Emre Ilhan did not photo shop my before and after pictures and you can always go onto patients Facebook profiles or Instagram pictures to see their before and after pictures if you want to be sure or speak to the patients directly, which is what I did personally! I met many patients at his clinic and all were very happy with their results.

Yes you have a very good result.

I have an appointment in June with him and I have been stalking all of his patients, analyzing their before and after selfies. He looks pretty legitimate. Where did you learn that he photoshops? I would doubt all his patients are photoshopping their photos as well on their instagrams.

Dr Emre Ilhan does not photoshop his patients before and after pictures, I know that for a fact as I take my own pictures I do not photoshop and they look just as good. Also when my pictures were taken by him I saw them immediately after. It quiet a compliment to say he has though as his work is pretty amazing and perfect !

Do you think the Photo Simulation is easily achievable?

JesseekaOctober 2, 2014

I have uploaded my photo simulation to give a rough idea of what I would like to achieve. Do you think it suits my face? Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
What im hoping for is for my hump shaved so my face is symmetrical and my tip lifted slightly (not too upturned though).
The only thing I worry about is I don’t want my nostrils to change shape and don’t want it to affect my top lip. Is this common during rhinoplasty?

Your photo simulation looks great! I think you're gorgeous as is, but the morphed nose really suits you. Have you shown these morphs to your surgeon yet?

Here's a list of pre- and post-op tips you should check out. Please keep us posted!

I am also scheduling a rhinoplasty with him and as you mentioned about the long waiting list, my time is around end of October 2015. He is the best within this price range. He has done some 4000 rhinoplasty, speacker in countless congress and conventions and I can only find good reviewes about him. The price he queted me is 9000 Turkish Lira. Your simulation is very realistic and I am sure he will talk detail during the consultancy to achive the desirable and realistic result.

I think my waiting time was around 7 months. I have also been speaking to someone who got her nose done by him a couple of weeks ago and she is very pleased with the result, it looks very natural (not turned up) and suits her face. I hope i love mine as much as she does. Good luck with your operation!

Good luck on your surgery. Make sure you have all your aftercare and medicine supplies ready. I guess it is hot in Turkey.... so cooling your swelling will be essential.
