I had Rhinoplasty 8 years ago to remove a bump in my nose. Altho the surgery was successful in removing the bump, it made the tip of my nose uneven and droop down, which I hated.
I had spent a lot of time researching surgeons with a good reputation who could give me a better result. I visitied my original surgeon again to have a consultation in order to find out that it was quite common for people to return unhappy with the results from their first surgery. He showed me before and after pics of revision rhinoplastys, and I still was not happy with the results he could provide, so continued my search.
I found a surgeon called DR Bora OK, based in Istanbul, Turkey. Although I had reservations about travelling abroad for surgery, examples of his work spoke for themselves. I had never seen such amazing natural looking results. So after contacting him and 3 skype consultations, I made the decision to book the surgery for 6 weeks time.
I was in regular contact with Dr Bora and his assistant, who helped me with all my travel arrangements and the day before surgery I travelled to Istanbul. All was fantastically organised, I had a driver waiting for me at the airport to take me to my hotel and was constantly in contact with his assistant to make sure everything was ok and I was well looked after.
The morning of the surgery arrived and I was picked up and taken to the private hospital. This was the biggest surprise. It was the nicest hospital I have ever been in, more like a 5* resort in Dubai. I had a huge private suite with seperate living area and beautiful bathroom, along with my own private nurse.
Dr Bora arrived at 8am and we spent 30 more minutes discussing my desired results, and meeting these with realisting expectations. He has a fantastic way of talking to you and with over ten years of experience, you can tell just by talking to him that you are in the best hands and will have a result you are happy with.
The anestatist came to see me and talked through some questions and put me at ease that I was in very good hands. Then came the time to go for surgery around 30 minutes later.
I woke in my room, with no pain with Dr Bora by myside to reassure me that everything had gone well. I had practically zero pain and the nurses were fantsatic in making sure I was ok. Dr Bora told me he would be back in the moring to make sure I was ok before being discharged back to my hotel to rest for a few days. Because of how extensive the surgery was he told me that I would need to come back in three days to have the packing removed. I then spent the night in my private suite watching tv and resting.
Dr Bora told me that the surgery took just under 3 hours, as he spent over one and a half hours undoing the work of my previous surgeon!! That shows what a good good surgeon he is as I felt he took the time to do the job properly and make sure it was done with lots of care and attention!
The next morning I was discharged with all my medication (painkillers, antibiotics and antihistamines) and was taken back to my hotel. I felt very looked after and always in contact with Dr and his assistant.
I spent the next few days recovering at the hotel, room service was brilliant and enabled me to rest fully before going back to see Dr Bora. 3 days later I had the packiing removed and hard cast taken off. I was gobsmacked by what a good job he had done. He had done exactly what I had wanted, only better than I ever could have imagined. I cried as I couldnt believe what a good job he had done. He then gave me a doctors letter to enable me to fly home the following day.
Over all I had an amazing experience, and had no need to worry at all during any part of the process.
I really feel that a better job could not have been done by any other surgeon and I would recommend Dr Bora OK to anyone!!!
