Why I Chose Istanbul, Turkey for My Asian Rhinoplasty: A Personal Experience

As someone who was considering Asian rhinoplasty, I knew that choosing the right surgeon was critical to achieving the results I wanted. Asian rhinoplasty is different than a normal rhinoplasty because I needed to “add” to my nose with rib cartilage to create the nose I wanted. Because of this, I wanted to make sure I found a doctor who had experience with rib cartilage rhinoplasty. After doing extensive research and consulting with several surgeons, I ultimately decided to travel to Istanbul, Turkey for my procedure. In this blog post, I’ll share my reasons for choosing Istanbul and explain why I’m so happy with my decision!

The Surgeon’s Work

One of the main reasons I chose Istanbul for my Asian rhinoplasty was because of the surgeon I found, Dr. Niyazi Altintoprak. I loved his results the most out of all of the doctors I was interested in. He had amazing reviews on RealSelf, Google, and in Facebook Groups. I also loved that he posted photos and videos of results that were 1-2 years post op. After speaking with his assistant about my desired outcome, I felt confident that they understood what I wanted and had the expertise to achieve it.

Results in Turkey vs. America

Another factor that influenced my decision to travel to Istanbul was the results achieved by surgeons in Turkey. While I had seen some impressive results from American surgeons, I found that the overall aesthetic was more subtle than what I was looking for. In contrast, the results achieved by surgeons in Turkey were often more dramatic. They were able to create the barbie nose or Cindy nose with the upturned tip. I wanted a more defined and aesthetically pleasing nose, and I felt that a surgeon in Istanbul was more likely to deliver that outcome.

Quality of Care

I was also impressed with the level of care provided by surgeons and clinics in Istanbul. They were highly professional and offered personalized attention throughout the entire process. The facilities were state-of-the-art and the staff were very knowledgeable, sweet, and supportive. I felt confident that I was in good hands throughout the entire experience!! I was and still am in constant contact with my surgeon’s assistant. They are quick to respond to any questions I may have.

Cost-Effective

Finally, one of the biggest factors in my decision to choose Istanbul for my Asian rhinoplasty was the cost. While the procedure itself was more expensive than a regular rhinoplasty, the overall cost was still much lower than what I would have paid in the United States. This made it a cost-effective option for achieving the results I wanted without breaking the bank.

In conclusion, choosing Istanbul for my Asian rhinoplasty was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I was able to find a highly skilled surgeon who understood my goals and was able to deliver the results I wanted. The overall experience was top-notch, and the cost was way more reasonable compared to what I would have paid in the United States. If you’re considering an Asian rhinoplasty, I would definitely recommend considering Istanbul, Turkey as a destination for your procedure. Of course, don’t forget to do your extensive research on your surgeon and reach out to people who have gone to the surgeon you’re interested in to ask about their experience!
