Rhinoplasty with Dr Tolga Bilece

Hello, I would like to share my experience with rhinoplasty by Dr. Tolga Bilece. Before arriving to Turkey I was torn between going with Mehmet Canubur or Tolga Bilece so I decided to do face to face consultation with both, and the reason why I eventually ended up choosing Tolga is because I have a breathing problem that I wasn't 100% confident that Dr. Mehmet can fix it, but it is safe to say that I think Canubur would have given me a gorgeous result anyway, needless to say also that he and his assistant are both so extremely kind and nice, very communicative, professional and extremely kind and friendly. Anyway, during my consultation with Tolga he was thorough in explaining the procedure and how the breathing problem will be fixed. Surgery day went fine, hospital was ok, but there are a couple of things I did not appreciate and thought are worthy of sharing: firstly, the assistant doesn't speak English which makes communication slower, complicated and generally makes the patient feel disconnected from doctor and assistant beyond the surgery - which is much more important than before, in my opinion. When it was cast-off day, the assistant did not greet us properly, though when another patient (who I later discovered had a high followers count) arrived, she was greeted with chocolate and coffee, in my opinion that is a bit rude given that we waited for doctor for over an hour to show up and the other had just arrived! When he showed up, my cast off removal was extremely rushed, I was not even asked if I like my result, or how my recovery experience went (which btw was experienced without followup from doctor or assistant.. inquiries were replied to super late! I was lucky to have my mother and friend with me for support, but I really do not recommend anyone coming alone! it is very difficult post op especially in the first 3-4 days - at least that was the case for me). Anyway, there was little follow up during recovery, cast off appointment extremely rushed, assistant was sort of rude, no proper communication. However, professionally I think he is a very skilled doctor, I can't fully say I love my result yet because my nose is still incredibly swollen but my breathing problem seems to be fixed.. The doctor def lacks personal connection to his patients, it almost feels like he treats his cases as 'projects'. He doesn't see the humans he sees only their noses, and I get it, it is his job, but health communication is extremely important especially when someone is doing such a drastic life-changing step and a significant medical surgery, it is more emotional than practical or purely physical. I wish he (and his assistant) had communicated better and reassured the patients better. My overall experience wasn't bad but these details truly affect the experience. I hope this review helps, feel free to ask me any questions.
