What Dr. Aydınoperates on

Ethnic rhinoplasty

Thick skin, soft tip, wide base: building support rather than taking tissue away.

Ask Dr. Aydın

Will my nose still look like mine?

That is the goal. The plan is built around your facial proportions, not a template. Before surgery we agree what should stay the same as well as what should change.

Can my breathing be fixed at the same time?

Yes, where there is something to correct. I am an ENT surgeon. The septum, turbinates and nasal valves are examined from the inside and corrected in the same operation.

How long until I see the result?

Visible swelling settles in two to three weeks. The final shape takes about a year, and in thick skin the tip is the last part to settle. Judge it then, not at week six.

What patients say

Read reviews on Google and Trustpilot. Reviews are written by patients and are not edited by the practice.

Before and after

Each case states the time since surgery. Thick skin takes longer to show its result, so look for cases with skin like yours.
