What does the practice focus on?
Facial analysis and asymmetry
His practice discusses the nose in relation to the forehead, chin, cheeks, skin and facial asymmetry. A 2021 co-authored study addresses awareness of asymmetry and postoperative satisfaction. Neither establishes that surgery can deliver perfect symmetry.
Preservation and structural choices
His 2025 co-authored review concerns bony dorsal preservation. This identifies a published area of work, not a universally suitable method. Ask how the septum, nasal support and breathing findings affect the choice.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
A dated facial-plastic certification
The IBCFPRS directory records certification on 3 October 2015 and dual EBCFPRS certification. This corroborates a defined credential. Current society offices or case totals are not established by that record.

Asymmetry and dorsal preservation are different questions
Indexed co-authored papers address nasal asymmetry and bony dorsal preservation. Together with the practice’s facial-analysis information, they provide useful consultation topics: which asymmetries can change, which structures would be preserved and what limits remain. Publication authorship does not show that one technique is appropriate for every nose.

Separate Rino Istanbul consultation from the operation
The practice biography identifies Rino Istanbul on Bağdat Avenue. Ask where the physical assessment and operation would each take place, which records a remote enquiry requires and who handles postoperative concerns after departure. A clinic address does not establish hospital privileges or a travel package.

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.

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.

A RealSelf profile matching Abdulkadir Goksel in Istanbul was located. This establishes presence, not the accuracy of individual reviews. No Reddit narrative is independently validated here; check primary versus revision surgery and the time elapsed before comparing accounts.

The consultation should define the quotation
No personal fee was verified. Ask for a dated offer specifying the proposed primary or revision work, any grafting, the named hospital and follow-up. Consultation and travel arrangements should be itemised rather than inferred from a clinic name or language edition.

Social identity still needs a direct check
An Instagram destination was not verified from the official outbound link in this review. No handle or patient-group invitation is assigned. A German-language site or a clinic enquiry channel does not establish a German surgical location or an official WhatsApp patient group.

Questions before contacting the practice
Where is the doctor based?
Istanbul, Türkiye
What is the doctor’s specialty?
ENT and head-and-neck surgery specialist
Which asymmetry can rhinoplasty address?
Ask which differences arise from the nose and which from the surrounding face. If other facial procedures are proposed, consider their aims and risks separately from rhinoplasty.
Is preservation appropriate for everyone?
The publication describes an approach, not your indication. Ask whether preservation, structural reconstruction or a combination fits your anatomy and how obstruction will be assessed.
What does the certification record establish?
The IBCFPRS record confirms a specific certification event. Ask the practice separately about current practising credentials, the proposed operating hospital and who provides follow-up.
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.
