Independent doctor profile
Prof. Dr. A. Erdem Kılavuz
Acıbadem lists A. Erdem Kılavuz as an ENT professor at Maslak Hospital. Its international profile records Ege University medical graduation in 2009, ENT residency completed in İzmir in 2013 and an ENT practice that includes rhinoplasty. His publication list includes a PubMed-indexed case report about a rare serious complication after septoplasty. This independent profile uses that record to support informed-risk questions; it is not an affiliation or booking channel.

Education and professional background
- Current hospital
ENT at Acıbadem Maslak
Acıbadem’s current English profile places Kılavuz in ENT at Maslak Hospital. The international profile records medical education at Ege University and specialist training at İzmir Atatürk Training and Research Hospital. Those records establish a hospital identity and chronology, not a guarantee that every consultation or operation occurs at the same site.

A professor profile with named ENT publications
Acıbadem publishes a scientific-publication list covering paediatric adenotonsillectomy, laryngectomy margins and other ENT subjects. The title “Professor” and publication record support academic activity, while the sources reviewed here do not establish a separate current university faculty appointment. Ask directly if teaching status matters to your decision.

What does the practice focus on?
Confirm what the rhinoplasty listing means for your case
Acıbadem’s procedure page includes Kılavuz among doctors connected with rhinoplasty, and the international biography lists rhinoplasty in his practice. Ask whether your issue is primary, functional or revision work; which structures would change; and whether the planned hospital and postoperative team are the ones shown in the directory.
Use a complication publication to improve consent, not to imply a rate
The 2017 case report describes a rare severe complication after septoplasty performed elsewhere and identifies Kılavuz as an author. A case report cannot give his personal complication rate. It can prompt precise questions about imaging, instrument safety, warning symptoms and the escalation pathway after discharge.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
Current Maslak identity and a defined training chronology
Acıbadem currently identifies Kılavuz as an ENT professor at Maslak Hospital. The international profile records Ege University medical graduation in 2009 and ENT residency completed in İzmir in 2013, and includes rhinoplasty in his practice. These institutional records are stronger identity evidence than marketplace listings but still require case-specific confirmation of facility and team.

A rare complication report supports specific consent questions
The 2017 PubMed case report names Ahmet Erdem Kilavuz as first author and describes unilateral blindness after septoplasty performed at another institution. It is evidence of publication on a rare serious complication, not evidence that he caused it and not a rate for his practice. Ask about prevention, warning symptoms and emergency referral.

Understanding nasal surgery
Different goals. One carefully considered plan.
A useful consultation separates what you would like to change from what an examination can establish. The guide below explains the vocabulary used in nasal surgery. It is general education, not a description of this doctor’s personal technique or a recommendation for your case.
Form
What would you like to change about your nose within the proportions of your face?
Breathing
Which symptoms need an internal examination and discussion of possible causes?
History
How do previous treatment, health and expectations inform the discussion?
Conceptual planning diagram, not a diagnostic image or a prediction of surgical results.
Read the procedure, recovery and risk guide
Rhinoplasty: the external shape
Rhinoplasty changes the shape or size of the nose. Open and closed describe access through different incision patterns; these words alone do not tell you what structural work is planned. Ask your surgeon to explain the proposed changes, their limitations and why that access suits your anatomy.
NHS · Nose reshaping (rhinoplasty)
Septoplasty: the internal partition
The septum divides the two nasal passages. A deviation can contribute to obstruction, but an off-centre septum does not always cause symptoms. Assessment considers other contributors, including the turbinates and nasal valves. Septoplasty addresses the septum; a combined septorhinoplasty also addresses the external nose.
AAO-HNSF / ENT Health · Deviated Septum
Revision: understand the earlier operation
If you have already had surgery, make that clear at the outset and bring any available operative records. A useful consultation should distinguish the concern you see today from the correction being proposed. Ask what can realistically change, what may remain and whether further surgery is appropriate at all.
ASPS · Rhinoplasty consultation; editorial consultation prompts
Arrive with a history, leave with clear questions.
Prepare your medical conditions, allergies, current medicines and supplements, smoking or alcohol history and previous procedures. Describe both appearance and breathing concerns. The consultation should include examination, available options and an explanation of risks. Do not change prescribed medicines yourself; ask the treating team for individual instructions.

Recovery is a sequence, not a reveal.
This visual is an orientation to follow-up, not a fixed timetable. The treating surgeon determines your care and review schedule.
- 01
Initial care
Splints or dressings may protect the nose. Obtain written instructions on care, medicines and the next review.
- 02
Early review
Ask who removes dressings or sutures, when you can resume activities and whom to contact with concerns.
- 03
Ongoing healing
Swelling changes over time; refinement can take up to a year. An early photograph is not the final assessment.
- 04
Continued follow-up
Confirm how reviews continue after you return home and how persistent concerns will be assessed.
ASPS · Rhinoplasty recovery
Discuss the trade-offs before deciding.
Possible risks include breathing difficulty, infection, altered sensation, scarring, septal perforation, dissatisfaction with appearance and further surgery. Anaesthesia has its own risks. Ask which are relevant to your health and proposed operation, how complications would be managed and what alternatives are available.

Reviews, fees & online identity
Keep doctor, hospital and procedure aligned in reviews
For A. Erdem Kılavuz reviews on Reddit, RealSelf or other platforms, verify that the post concerns him rather than Acıbadem generally or another similarly named doctor. Separate septoplasty, rhinoplasty and other ENT work, and check follow-up length. A hospital rating or isolated story cannot establish his personal outcome or complication rate.

The Acıbadem directory is not a price quotation
No current personal rhinoplasty fee for Kılavuz is verified. Ask Acıbadem for a dated, patient-specific quotation naming him and the hospital, with functional and aesthetic procedures, anaesthesia, tests, grafts, medicines and follow-up separated. Confirm the financial effect of a changed plan or emergency care; do not infer price from an international directory.

Institutional verification before Instagram or WhatsApp
This review did not authenticate a personal Instagram account or an official patient WhatsApp group for Kılavuz. Use current Acıbadem pages to verify identity and recipient before sharing records. The word “botched” in search results is not a finding about him. A concern about a result should be evaluated against operative records, timing and an independent examination.

Questions before contacting the practice
Where is the doctor based?
Acıbadem Maslak Hospital, Istanbul
What is the doctor’s specialty?
Otorhinolaryngology · Professor
Which rare but serious septal or rhinoplasty risks require urgent examination after discharge?
Ask for symptoms, contact route, receiving hospital and time threshold in writing. The published case illustrates why an emergency plan matters, but it does not quantify your risk or Kılavuz’s outcomes.
Can I book this doctor through Rhinoplasty Team Turkey?
No. This is an independent information page. Rhinoplasty Team Turkey does not arrange consultations or treatment with this doctor.
