Live Primary Rhinoplasty in Istanbul with Dr Sercan Göde

WORTH IT
Hello, let me just start by saying how come there is almost none reviews in this amazing doctor I can’t believe it !
I had my rhinoplasty on the 03/05/2023, usually this dr is operating in Izmir but since it was a live surgery ( surgeons from all around the world watched him operate on my nose) that was happening in Istanbul I flew there.
First able after having my consultation via video call I had no problem trusting this dr. He is really impressive to be honest on how good he is. He does a lot of successful révision case and to me that means a lot on the surgeon. My nose was crooked had bulbousity, deviated septum, high bridge, collapsed on one side. And he did it in a closed approach.
The team arranged everything except my flight.
I arrived safely with a friend 2 days before surgery.
Day of surgery I met with his team which were great. The hospital was beyond incredible and really high tech like nothing I’ve seen before.
The surgery went amazing I woke up feeling stuffed in the nose but I felt ok, 2/3 hours after anesthesia went off I was fine I could walk easily.
The next day I obviously couldn’t breath though my nose and couldn’t feel what I ate but that’s to be expected.
The following day they discharge me and I asked if I could walk and explore Istanbul. They said if you feel good you can walk all day. So that’s what I did lol I did 15k steps that day, probably was a bit too much but I felt fine. I think it helped a lot with the swelling bruising and stuff.
The next day I felt a bit more tired so I stayed at the hotel. But I made sure to walk every hour to get the blood flowing( so u was walking like a crazy lady in the hotel going up and down). I did 6k that day loool
Then the day after that I felt really great so we went visiting again which was amazing. Did a lot of steps that day as well. I’m saying that cause I think it has helped a lot with the bruising and the swelling which I almost didn’t have any expect a little bit around my eyes then it went down to my cheeks but it was very minimal.
On day 4 after surgery I had my cast removal cause I was flying the next day, let me tell you it was not painfull for me at all. And the result like I was so happy it was a bit swollen but not as much as I thought it would be!! I could see perfectly how my nose is gonna look like later on. Then he proceed to put on another cast on ( which I still have on right now ) and tell me I have to wear it 7-10 more days, as well as the retainer that I have since surgery 24/7.
I flew the next day and was perfectly fine.
It’s now day 10 post surgery and the recovery is going perfect but I can’t wait to take that damn cast off loool it’s so itchy it’s almost unbearable. He told me to wear it 7/10 days ( after the last cast ) more but I don’t think I could wait until 10 days. I will ask him if I can remove it at 7 days cause it’s soooo itchy. He likes to keep a cast in total of 15 days. I don’t think there is a lot of surgeon that advised to keep it that long but he knows what is doing.
Anyway feel free to ask any questions. I know his price point is really high but I rather be happy with my result which is gonna be in the middle of my face.
I haven’t since my nose since the primary cast removal but I already know it’s gonna be amazing from what I’ve seen. I’ll make sure to update you. I also wanted to write here cause there is nothing on him. Or else I haven’t find it I don’t know.
* also in French so if my English is not perfect I’m sorry in advance.

3 weeks post op.I will add better picture tomorrow :) it’s still very swollen but I’m so happy already. His work is literally perfection. I had to wear my retainer 3 weeks 24/7. He said that I don’t need to tape at all. At first I did but after a few days he said that I shouldn’t continue. Which I like cause those tape residue are a pain to remove

Are you still happy? How was the aftercare?
I am booked with him that’s why it would be helpful if you can share your aftercare experience.
