Independent doctor profile
What supports the nasal bridge?
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Akif İşlek is an ENT specialist whom Acıbadem International currently lists at its Eskişehir hospital. Its procedure list includes rhinoplasty, septoplasty, dorsal augmentation and inferior-turbinate bone grafting. A named graft method does not mean that a particular nose needs it; the real question is what structural deficit an examination identifies.

01
The bridge and its possible graft source
The donor site is also part of the airway
The inferior turbinate is part of nasal anatomy. If harvesting from it is proposed, ask what support problem it would solve, which other graft sources are reasonable and how the airway would be assessed. The publication frames a discussion, not a recommendation at a distance.
Do not equate a smell symptom with a shape change
The hospital also lists smell disturbance, nasal polyps and tear-duct obstruction. These require separate diagnostic questions; external bridge surgery should not be assumed to restore smell. Turkish- and English-language consultation is listed, but no UK patient volume is verified.

Training and hospital listing
- 2012–2021
Pamukkale, İzmir and Nusaybin
The hospital records his Pamukkale medical degree in 2012, ENT qualification at İzmir Kâtip Çelebi University in 2018 and Nusaybin State Hospital work through 2021. It dates his Acıbadem association from 2021. An older Tınaztepe directory also lists him without a clear current date; confirm the actual venue before travel.

A report about 1 possible bridge-graft source
İşlek coauthored a clinical report with Ejder Ciğer on inferior-turbinate bone for dorsal augmentation. A report on a defined technique does not establish that this is his current standard practice or that it outperforms other materials for a new patient.

Scope of the 2021 clinical report
Evidence reviewed:
A graft report is not a default operation
The published report concerns inferior-turbinate bone for a defined dorsal augmentation question. Acıbadem lists the procedure, but neither source shows that it suits every depressed bridge, that it is the current preferred method or that taking material from the turbinate has no airway trade-off.

Confirm the actual venue before travel
Acıbadem International currently lists İşlek in Eskişehir; an older Tınaztepe directory also lists him without a clear current date. The listings do not establish where an individual operation would occur. Ask for the treating facility, surgeon, anaesthesia and written follow-up pathway.
