Great experience - my face now looks more symmetrical

ORIGINAL POST

Great Experience

WORTH IT
I had my surgery in May of 2023 so its currently been 1.5 years as I'm writing this out.

I was very impressed with the overall experience. I Dr. Pelen based on his Instagram and reviews online - and it also felt very safe that he operated at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital as its one of the best private hospitals. I arrived the day before to have some blood drawn and get a feel for the hospital, and on the day of the operation I met with Dr. Pelen to discuss my wants. He was honest with his thoughts and I decided to tell him my wants from the operation - but ultimately to do what he thought best as he is the expert.

The overall experience at the hospital with the nurses was also great - keep in mind majority will not speak much English - but this was easily solved through Google Translate.

My healing journey was a bit difficult in the first few days due to a lot of swelling in my face - but this is very individual I've come to learn) and remained quite swollen for a few weeks - however at around 6 months P.O I felt it was fairly healed - but I would say the 12 month mark really made the difference with no more swelling at all :)

As you can see in the photos - the nose has changed quite a lot since the first week post surgery. TRUST THE PROCESS. I definitely felt uglier the first few weeks, but was prepared I would not feel great about it immediately as I had read this over and over again in different online forums from people who had already gone through rhinoplasty.

I am super happy with the results and finally don't feel the need to hide my nose from the worst angles. t now suits my face, and has enhanced the rest of my features. My face now looks more symmetric.

100% recommend Dr. Pelen :)

Looks amazing! Do you mind sharing the cost? How did you feel about travelling there? How long did you stay?
