Final Update

WORTH IT$2,945
I appreciate all the kind messages and those who are curious. I hope I can help as many people as I can by sharing my results and my experience. Since my nose is pretty much fully healed now and the tip has came down to a better position, Id like to post my final update to show my full results! My original post was still very swollen, and my last update was still midway healing, so the tip was a little more dramatic. I am very pleased with how my nose ended up healing! Anyone feel free to message me for concerns, questions, or even just reassurance!

Response from Dr. Surmeli:
Thanks for your nice words and your ongoing motivation to help other patients who consider this operation by answering their questions. Your change is amazing and it would improve day by day. Warm greetings to the USA.

I can’t believe how AMAZING you look !!!! Ahhhh I’m booking for the 28th of December with Dr Surmeli. I’ve private messaged you xx
Your nose and yourself are beautiful it’s a success story:)
you're the sweetest!!
Hi. Why is the price so much different with the Turkey doctors? Quotes go from 3500.00 to 6 and 7k!!
Tbh I think its like that anywhere you go even in America. I did consultations in LA before and it ranged from 10-16k with each doctor. Even for little things like fillers, each clinic has their own cost theres not really a set price when it comes to aesthetic/cosmetic procedures. Every doctor/clinic will just charge what they feel matches their work or what they believe to be fair. Im sure theres many other ways they calculate cost which I dont know too much about. I think just compare prices and read reviews and see what you feel is best compared to the results. Thats a big reason why I chose this doctor.
Right. And its something about the "usa".....they automatically think we have loads and loads of cash to fork out. I would need an "ethnic rhinoplasty" and as soon as they hear that.......it's over.. I'm outside LA. CALIFORNIA....so I feel your pain. I've found a couple good ones outside LA that' can do it for around 6500.00. With the flight over there to Turkey, extra hospital days to pay for and "unexpected charges", its too much of a gamble. I want Dr Boro OK.....but he is literally 400.00 cheaper than the Beverly Hills doctor. I just can't do it. He is good on AA noses but its doctors right across the street from him doing AA noses
for around 3000.00

Update!

I have actually been getting a few messages lately for more before and after photos, in my original picture my nose was only 1 months post op and it was very swollen. I am posting this for people who have been contacting me and just to show how much this doctor has changed my life. Surprisingly, many of my friends have been asking me for my doctors name and they are all willing to travel to Turkey just for him. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

It was only $2,945?! USD?
Yes! Thats their package for international patients which include the surgery itself, hotel for 7 days (mine was 2945 because I stayed for 9 days) as well as transportation to and from airport, hotel, and hospital!! I know its crazy LOL
Right I’m likeee brb planning my trip to Turkey next year. Her results are stunning!
how did you even find him?! lol
Tbh I was literally just googling places and reading reviews. I spoke with a few other places but then I saw that Clinicplast had 5 stars so I went on their instagram and looked more into them and I saw his work along with another doctor. Both of them do amazing :-)
I just PM'd you, I hope you could help me with some info, thank you so much !
Beautiful results--one of the best I've seen! Thanks for sharing.
The pictures look like there is two different people. First picture person looks older. Second picture person looks at least 10 years younger.
I can assure you both of them are me lol... I have photos from the hospital after surgery, while it was swollen, and month by month as the swelling went down. The nose changes the face drastically. Thats how you know you got a good doctor.
In the BEFORE photo her lips are smaller, especially the top which is much thinner, and in the AFTER her nose is different but ALSO her lips which are fuller, show more surface area and protrude outward more than before. So you when looking at anyone’s before and after photos it’s helpful to know EVERYTHING that was done to achieve that facial balance, look and harmony. You need to consider someone’s transformation in it’s ENTIRETY so you’re seeing the whole picture here. Her nose appears to look very nice but realize there are other modifications at play here. It would be helpful for potential surgical patients on these forums to know the whole truth if they are hoping to achieve the “same” look or results.
Im sure it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that I am reviewing the doctors work on my nose, because that’s what he did. I responded god knows how many times to so many people telling them I also had my lips done. Stop talking on things you don’t know about like why are you still on my review it’s honestly sad at this point.
Hi lovely you look AMAZE.

I’m looking to book for rhino with him this December, are you able to talk to me about the whole process and show me any other photos during the healing process?! X
Yes of course! Send me a message :-)
Is it dangerous for a woman to travel alone there I am from Canada is there danger to be kidnapped anything weird?
It is definitely not dangerous one bit.. I felt safer walking in the streets over there than in San Francisco or Los Angeles. Istanbul is such a beautiful and safe city. The people were sooo sweet and amazing I would love to go back for fun. Also, Istanbul is more connected to Europe. I see why you would be concerned because it is a middle eastern country, but I can assure you that Turkey, (especially Istanbul) is safe. I literally was walking around with a bruised face and cast on my nose. Nobody bothered me or cared to even look at me unless I started conversation with them, and every time they had been so kind even with the language barrier. They really do try to help. That is something you dont need to worry about :)
ORIGINAL POST

Amazing Doctor!

After seeing photos online, I decided to travel from California to Turkey just to have Dr. Mehmet perform my rhinoplasty. This was the best decision I have ever made in my life. He is very professional when explaining the operation in detail during the consultation so you feel much more comfortable. Dr. Mehmet genuinely cares about his patients and does his absolute best to satisfy their requests. I highly recommend him to anybody who wants to get work done because there is no way that you would regret it. He seriously changed my life in the most positive way. My new nose is beyond perfect and I am very grateful that I was able to have this talented surgeon for my rhinoplasty!

Did the tip drop? And did your nose look a little longer when it did? Waiting for mine to
Yes when I first got the cast off my nose was almost piglike I was kind of concerned to be honest. They do lift the tip about 20% higher because it will come down gradually. The tip of my nose did come down and looks longer to fit my face. I am absolutely in love with it now. Do not worry at all, it will look so different in about 3 weeks and you will be even more satisfied with it. The entire process of the swelling going down does take a few months though.
Thank you so much love ❤️
amazing i love your nose i am hoping to get results like this xx
thank you:)) Dr Mehmet will give you the best results.
Another question! Does your columella move now if you’d bite your lip?
There is hardly any movement in that region because I am only 4 weeks post op so it is still very swollen and somewhat stiff. The tip/lower part of the nose is what takes the longest to fully heal (almost a year).
