Best Decision for Me
I have a small face, and I considered my nose to be too big in proportion to the rest of my face. I had a little bump, a bulbous and droopy tip. When I smiled, the tip dropped even more, creating a small fold horizontally above my lip. Additionally, I had some issues with breathing, especially at night, as one side of my nose was frequently congested, making it difficult to breathe. During my first appointment with Dr. Memet Yazar, I was told that I had a deviated septum and swollen turbinates, which were the causes of my breathing problems, and that they could be fixed with surgery. I found Dr. Yazar by chance while browsing through Instagram. The reason I chose to make an appointment with him was because I appreciated the fact that he values natural-looking results, which was very important to me. I did not want to have a nose that obviously looked like it had been operated on. I wanted a natural-looking nose that would fit the proportions of my face. I personally was concerned about getting a nose that was too short, overly projected, and had a too-slim tip. As I mentioned before, I had a small bump that did not bother me too much, so I wanted a straight nose rather than one with an overly projected tip which would make it difficult for me to adapt to.
Finally, when my appointment with Dr. Memet Yazar arrived, I was excited. It was my first appointment with a plastic surgeon ever. From the very first moment, he showed interest in my concerns, listened to me attentively, and was open to my ideas of a perfect nose for me. I appreciated that he asked me questions to better understand the shape of the ideal nose I had in mind. What I liked was that he was non-judgmental and took his time to listen to my explanations. Thanks to his good communication skills, his open and friendly demeanor, my nervousness disappeared from the very first moment.
He encouraged me to provide a detailed description and use any means to convey my vision, such as showing pictures of myself with photoshopped changes or examples of celebrities with noses that I considered perfect. He then examined my nose through palpation and used a rhinoscope to examine the interior anatomy. I learned that I have middle to thick skin. After taking pictures with the device, he explained the causes of my breathing problems. Following the examination, he took pictures of my face and showed me a realistic result that could be achieved with surgery, taking into consideration my preferences.
After my appointment with Dr. Memet Yazar, I didn't feel the need to do any more research on other plastic surgeons. He made me feel understood, and his honesty, confidence, and authenticity were reassuring.
The healing process after my surgery was easier than I had anticipated. I had read horror stories about people experiencing excessive edema after surgery, heavy bleeding, and other complications. However, Dr. Yazar assured me that I could contact him at any time for questions or concerns, which put my heart at ease. I also appreciate the availability and friendly nature of Ms. Yildiz, his assistant, who was always reachable and helped alleviate my nervousness on the day of the surgery. During the initial days after the surgery, I had difficulty adapting to breathing through my mouth, especially during nights, which affected my sleep for the first 3 days. Things improved after the tampons were removed. I experienced edema not only in my nose and eyes but also in my cheeks. The edema in my cheeks eventually moved towards my chin (mandible) and disappeared within a week. The swelling in my nose decreased gradually over the following months. About 3-4 months after surgery, most of the edema had subsided. However, due to my middle to thick skin, the healing process is still ongoing, and I still have some swelling on the tip of my nose. Dr. Memet Yazar informed me that the final result of the surgery would be visible after about 2 years (depending on skin type, it could be less, e.g., around 1 year).
In conclusion, despite the ongoing healing process getting a rhinoplasty was the best decision for me. I highly recommend doing a thorough research and scheduling as many appointments as possible until you find a trustworthy, talented, and authentic surgeon, like Dr. Memet Yazar was for me.
