Independent doctor profile
Doç. Dr. Berke Özücer
Berke Özücer is an ENT specialist listed by Haliç University as an associate professor and faculty member. His work includes nasal surgery and a randomized study of postoperative taping.

Medical and specialist pathway
His clinic biography records graduation from Cerrahpaşa’s English medical programme in 2010, ENT specialization at Bezmialem in 2015 and associate professorship in 2021. Studying in English does not by itself confirm the language available for an individual consultation.

Use the certification register’s date
The IBCFPRS entry records certification in 2019 and dual certification with EBCFPRS. A different year appears in clinic biography material; this guide uses the register for the certification date. It does not equate board certification with a foreign national medical licence.

What does the practice focus on?
Nasal function within an ENT practice
Haliç’s academic profile lists aesthetic and functional nasal surgery, rhinology, sinus and airway interests. Ask which breathing findings need examination and how the proposed cosmetic changes relate to nasal support. A list of interests is not a confirmation of every service for a future booking.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
A randomized postoperative taping study
Özücer is first author of a 2016 randomized clinical trial on postrhinoplasty taping, edema and nasal draping. The study enrolled 57 participants and considered skin thickness. Its findings concern that intervention and cohort, not the current clinic’s overall success rate.

Translate a research question into an aftercare question
A taping publication does not establish that every patient should tape, or define your personal duration and technique. Ask the operating team for individualized instructions, skin precautions and a contact plan if irritation develops. This profile does not prescribe a taping schedule.

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.

Reviews, fees & online identity
Provider-selected reviews need context
The supplied review found a clinic page directing readers to patient-review platforms. Provider-selected links do not constitute an independent audit. Compare procedure type, follow-up and disclosure of incentives on RealSelf, Google or Reddit; no rating or individual story is endorsed here.
- Practice-published information · Doctor Be — review-platform information; supplied review 10 October 2026
Clarify the quotation and travel terms
No current fixed surgical total was verified. The supplied clinic FAQ review describes video assessment and quotation arrangements. Request the written total, deposit and cancellation rules, hospital and anaesthesia costs, follow-up and what happens if the plan changes after examination.

Keep social identity separate from qualifications
A university record and board credential do not validate a social-media representative or private WhatsApp group. No handle or invitation is assigned here. Check who controls an account, whether a group is moderated by patients or a provider, and any referral payments before sharing health information.
