Emre Ilhan Ruined my Nose and 2 Years of my Life...
I’ve had surgery with Emre Ilhan in July 2017
I will be sharing my total experience. I’ve had a consult scheduled with dr Emre Ilhan on 31 July at 14:00 o’ clock. When I arrived I saw lots of patients coming in and out. I’ve been told to be seated and wait for the doctor. After a few hours I asked them why it took so long. They told me he was busy and I would be handled shortly. It was evening time and me and my mother were becoming very hungry, so we asked to go so we could eat. Mind you it was already 19:00 O clock at this time. They did not even bother to tell us to take a break after waiting for 5 hours and to go eat. So they said we could go eat dinner and come back. Eventually still I saw people entering the clinic after me and being seen sooner then me by dr Ilhan. I asked them why this took so long. They told me to remain seated and wait. Eventually at 23:00 o clock (!!!) I was seen by dr Emre Ilhan. This should be the first red flag. Clearly he did not respect my time by letting me go see him at 23:00, while Ive had an appointment at 15:00. I wish I cancelled then and there but foolishly I did not. When I seen him he seemed nice and charismatic (all a facade). I told him what he wanted and all he said was ‘dont worry, I am the doctor and you will be fine’. I said yes, but I would like to discuss the surgery? He kept rushing me and even insulted me by saying one time ‘if you know it so better why dont you do the surgery, trust me im the surgeon’ and ‘you should get fat injected in your cheeks and chin’. I never even asked for this. And he drawed a few thing on a paper and said ‘okay, I got it’. Mind you, it was less then 15 minutes and I felt very confused and uncomfortable about the whole consult and the day. His team, himself just seemed very unprofessional and it seemed like all they cared about was themselves. He even has nurses walking around in tight skirts and dresses and lots of makeup, like they are walking on a runway. It just seemed very weird to me and did not compare to the level of professionalism in Europe and their private clinics. Surgery day. I had to go to an adress, it was the Diabetes hospital in Turkey (Kadikoy). The people who worked there were very rude. They could not smile or make me feel comfortabel for 1 minute. I just velt very uncomfortable and luckily I was with my mother because I just got very negative experience with the workers at that hospital. Then they took blood tests etc. Everything was fine. I did not see dr Ilhan which I found was strange. I wished he came and greates me before he performed surgery. I asked the person who was doing the narcotics if he could call emre ilhan because i was having a panic attack. They called him and i spoke to him, i could see the blood on his outfit and the instruments he used. It just made me freak out more. The people at the hospital did not calm me down at all or talk to me, so i was even more scared. It was just overall a very negative experience and i felt very alone and scared. After surgery I wake up in a lot of pain. Ubearable pain. Everything hurted, my nose my eyes my cheeks. I was black and blue and very swollen. I kept asking for medicine because the pain was ubearable. Another girl in the hospital was alone and my mother had to help her when she was vomiting, because the nurses at the hosptial asked my mother to do so (isnt that their job?). Emre ilhan came the next day. He seemed very uninterested and told me he was happy with the surgery. Days after surgery. I was still in very much pain. I felt so bad that i tought i was dying. I called him in panic. He told me to take the antibiotics and the pain killers. I was having hot flashes and felt very weak. I could not walk, shower, talk or breathe. I just felt very very ill and this was just the start of my horrible experience. Cast off day. I noticed at cast off day that a random guy (doctor) was with us in the room. Emre kept talking to him in Turkish and they seemed very interested in my nose, which I found odd. When the cast revealed the first thing I thought was: what an ugly weird nose. It just didnt feel like me. My eyes looked weird and hollow. The bridge was way too much scooped out of. And the nostrils had these ugly shape. Also did not like the tip at all. They noticed that I was not happy and kept lying telling me that it was beautiful. One week after cast day. I just hoped it was swelling and that it would look nice after the swelling went away. It was just crooked. My nostrils were uneven. And my bridge was uneven. It looked like a very strange nose. Months after the surgery I was in a depression. This started in December. All I could do was cry and look at my nose the whole day. I kept on researching realself and asking questions. Ive come in contact with lots of girls in the same position as me. They were also botched by dr emre ilhan. Then I realized, I would never be happy about my nose. This is the end result. No swelling. Even after swelling it became worse because the swelling masked all my probleme Ive had. Inverted V deformity, poolybeak deformity, uneven nostrils, cartilage sticking out of my tip in columella area and the nostrils which he did not touch at all. After I expressed my concerns Emre Ilhan kept disrespecting me. He even told me that if i wanted to inform Turkish authorities that there was nothing they would do because he lives in Turkey. The tone of which he spoke was very disrespectful and arrogant. After I told him my concerns he just offered a revision. I declined but he did not care. Every respectable surgeon would offer someone partly their money back I feel like. But he did not care at all that I was suicidal and severly depressed after his work. The SECOND disrespect was when I scheduled an appointment with him when he came to Amsterdam. I scheduled it with him at a certain time and I came all the way to amsterdma, booked train tickets. For him to just leave me and go on the plane!! He told me later on Whatsapp that he forgot about me. That just tells you how disrespectful he is and he does not care about his patients. Ask yourself this, would you trust someone your face to, to someone who blatantly disrespected his other patients and has proven that he does not care about his individual patients? Now I have to search another doctor, because I went after Emre Ilhan to another Iranian doctor who made my nose even uglier. Be careful and I would not recommend foreign countries. I am now seeking a doctor within Europe. Let my face be a warning to you. Love, Siham
