Successful Revision Rhinoplasty - Complex Case

For anyone considering surgery with Prof. Dr. Memet Yazar, I can sincerely say, based on my own experience, that he is an absolute recommendation. I have undergone two revision rhinoplasties (in two stages) and a fat transfer with him, and he has not only brought me a successful final result, but also made the entire process significantly easier.

I am a young woman from Europe with a rare congenital facial condition. Over the years, I consulted several highly specialized surgeons in Europe and the United States, as well as surgeons from South Korea. Despite their expertise, none presented a plan that gave me enough confidence to proceed. The uncertainty was simply too great.

One of the main challenges with my nose was the absence of a columella and the lack of skin. My parents had seen similar cases fail and were therefore extremely hesitant. After months of research, we broadened our search to Istanbul, where some doctors have far more practical surgical experience. That is how we found Prof. Yazar. His results, including cases similar to mine, immediately stood out. My parents almost did not believe them.

Although an online consultation was possible, we chose to travel to Istanbul in person. Prof. Yazar transformed our mindset from distrust to hope. He listened carefully, allowed both my mother and me to express our concerns, and spoke honestly and realistically about possibilities and limitations. Instead of forcing everything into one surgery, he chose a careful, staged approach. He did not see my case as a burden, but as a challenge within his field. His passion and creativity was clearly present, without ever applying pressure; every decision remained entirely ours. Experiencing this consultation and meeting him in person put my parents completely at ease, despite their previous doubts. My mother felt that he was different from all the other surgeons we had met. She said she could see that he is not only a surgeon, but also an artist.

With gratitude to God, he fulfilled this trust. The surgeries went well and I received all the care I needed in the hospital and in his clinic. Both aesthetically and functionally, the improvement has been remarkable. Especially my ability to breathe, which for me is the greatest gain. Back home, everyone is amazed by the results. My face went from a highly visible deformity to a normal appearance. He created a complete columella, both internally and externally, with open nostrils and good airways. From almost nothing to a beautifully defined nasal bridge and tip. He created a natural, normal-looking nose. The result my family and I never dared to dream was possible.

He works with great care, aims for minimal scarring, and avoids unnecessary procedures. Where the use of a forehead flap with a visible scar was proposed in my own country, Prof. Yazar achieved results using different methods, without additional scars. He truly combines aesthetics with functionality.

The support of his assistant Yildiz also deserves special mention. She was always available, reassuring, and professional; from hospital admission to post-operative care, and even after my return home.

In short: the time, effort, travel, and costs are absolutely worth it. I could not wish for a better doctor than Prof. Dr. Memet Yazar, with Yildiz by his side. To the reader: stay close to yourself and follow your intuition. May that which is good for you reach you.
