Outstanding Team and Care

WORTH IT
I am feeling overwhelmed with emotion as Dr Tas and his team have literally changed my life. I just had my cast, splints and stitches removed at the clinic. My nose is very swollen at the moment which is to be expected as I have thick skin and also had extensive procedures performed on my nose including septorhinoplasty, turbinectomy, osteotomies, alar base excision. This is the only doctor that I could trust with my nose operation and he exceeded all expectations (as a PhD scientist, I'm tough to impress as I have a deeper insight into the science and operative process than a layperson). Thanks so much to the entire team especially Dr Tas, Elvira, Oznur and Burcu. I can't thank you enough!

5 week update!
sunnydee25November 10, 2019
As requested, here are my photos 5 weeks post-op and I'm loving my nose! It's still swollen, although less than before, so I'm taking arnica for it now (on my own initiative) and doing the nose massages as instructed by Dr Tas. It's normal to have visible swelling for a few months after the surgery. My nose has healed up well so far. It doesn't run anymore and I hardly sneeze whereas before the surgery, I'd have a runny nose almost all the time. Breathing is still good and I'm trying to keep it that way by irrigating my nose 2-3x a day with salty water (neilmed sinus rinse). Hope this helps!

Before photos

I didn't use to have many photos taken from the side because as you can see, it was bad. My nose is already a massive improvement compared to what it was. It seemed to get noticeaby deformed in my late teens/early 20s and became visibly worse throughout my 20s especially as that is when my septum deviated. My childhood photos show me that my nose had a cute, normal shape similar to mine now. It looks normal now although it's still swollen.
I'll be happy to post more updates and hope they help! If you want to see my nose as a child (aged 9-10), just ask and I'll post them in another update.

@Tksr37, yes I stayed in the ICH hospital overnight until around 9.30am the following morning. The nurses took great care of me.
Yes, the anesthetist is a specialised doctor too who gave me general anaesthesia. I had sedation before entering the operating theatre too (via the nurse) . I had no pain in my throat afterwards and that's something I have to ask about... Not sure how they made it completely painless!
I stayed in Blisstanbul Hotel which is a 20 min walk from the clinic and loved it there... The staff, rooms, location, all of it.
Wishing you all the best with yours! You're definitely in good hands with Dr Tas.
