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.

Was Nothing Less Than Traumatizing!
My experience with this surgeon was nothing less than traumatizing, so here is how things went so you can make an informed decision before you book your appointment.
I had multiple rhinoplasties because I broke my nose as a kid and had complications. My surgery with Altintas was my 5th, and I knew exactly what I wanted. I had no bridge and had a clear alar-retraction only on one side which caused apparent asymmetry in the nostrils. I did my research and asked a lot and knew ahead of time that I needed a specific procedure called “the Turkish Delight,” which is grinding soft tissues from rib cartilage and then wrapping the powder with a fine thin piece of cartilage to create a steady and good bridge. I knew, as I was told by doctors I consulted online, that if this wasn’t done properly, my nose would be ruined and would become crooked. I asked Altintas, and he confirmed and said he knows how to do this and promised me I would get the results I was asking for.
Well, I ended up with a crooked nose. Now my nose is double the size it was before my surgery with him, and it is completely tilted to the left. The crookedness and the asymmetry in my nose is in every single part.
I had my surgery with this doctor two and a half years ago, and I am still in disbelief at how bad the results are.
I contacted the clinic again and asked for my surgery report. After many attempts, I was sent a forged report that includes only a couple of sentences stating that I had a hump on my nose that was removed during the surgery, which is of course not the case at all.
Below are pictures of my nose before and after, and a copy of the report they sent me.
