How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Aggressive Revision Left Me with an Unnatural Nose
I’ve been hesitant to share this for a long time, but after seeing others speak out, I feel it’s important to add my voice. My experience with Dr. Erkan Soylu aligns with many of the concerns already raised by other patients.
I underwent a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Soylu three years ago, hoping for a subtle correction to the bridge. Instead, the results were far more aggressive than what I had asked for. My nose is now significantly small and no longer balanced with my facial features. The columella was overly flattened, and the overall structure lost its natural definition. The outcome does not suit my facial features, and unfortunately, no morphs were provided prior to surgery for me to review or approve.
I explained what I wanted and trusted Dr. Soylu’s reassurance, but that is a decision I now regret.
The aftercare was also deeply disappointing. The hospital staff were inattentive and unprofessional—nurses often laughed and gossiped in the hallway while ignoring patient needs. I received minimal support during recovery, and the environment felt cold and dismissive.
I want to emphasize that I have been extremely patient. I waited three full years to allow for the final results to settle before reaching out. When I finally messaged Dr. Soylu to express that the outcome was not what I had expected or asked for, I was dismissed. He told me that I could not have the results I was asking for and that he would look into my file when he had the time. That response, after three years of waiting, was both hurtful and disheartening.
This experience has had a lasting impact on my confidence and well-being.
If you’re considering surgery, I strongly urge you to do thorough research. Don’t rely solely on a surgeon’s confidence or social media presence. Ask for morphs, request detailed plans, and seek multiple opinions. Make sure you feel fully informed and supported before proceeding.
Since my surgery, over 30 other patients have come out reporting similar outcomes. Dr. Soylu is now listed on a public “botched surgeon” list, and unfortunately, based on my experience, I understand why.
