What does the practice focus on?
A drawing is a discussion tool
The practice describes photographic planning alongside airway assessment. Ask which features in a drawing represent objectives, which are uncertain and how the plan would change after examination. A visual simulation cannot establish the final appearance or show how the nose will function.
Nasal work within a broader ENT practice
Listed services include revision rhinoplasty, septoplasty, sinus surgery and ear and throat procedures. If your concerns span several areas, ask for a separate indication for each proposed procedure, the combined recovery burden and whether staging treatment would be reasonable.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
English access and European language signals
English international-patient information and German and French practice pages were reviewed. The practice states English and French consultation availability; a German page does not itself confirm a German-speaking clinician. UK consultations were not established. For travel from Britain, Germany or France, confirm the language of consent and who assesses problems after your return.

Turn the travel outline into a care plan
The practice describes written aftercare instructions and check-ups in Istanbul or with a local ENT doctor, with messaging for questions about the schedule. Ask who reviews findings from local examinations and what happens if you need additional care or a longer stay. A suggested itinerary is not individual clearance to fly, and a reply about scheduling is not a medical assessment.

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
Compare like-for-like accounts
For Cenk Teker reviews on Reddit or RealSelf, separate first operations from revision or functional treatment. Look for the procedure date, length of follow-up and how later concerns were handled. A “botched” search term is not a clinical conclusion, and selected testimonials do not provide an audited complication rate. This profile does not verify individual accounts.

Define what the quotation covers
No current personal rhinoplasty price is verified here. For Teker’s combined nasal procedures, request an itemised quote separating cosmetic work, functional treatment, hospital, anaesthesia and follow-up. Confirm currency, cancellation terms and charges for additional nights or later assessment. A travel package should not hide who provides the clinical care.

Instagram and WhatsApp identity
Teker’s practice uses online messaging, but that does not authenticate a patient-run WhatsApp group. No group, administrator or invitation is verified here. Check an Instagram account or messaging contact against the practice’s current information before sharing material. Ask who receives it and whether clinical advice comes from the surgeon. Rhinoplasty Team Turkey does not arrange appointments with him.
