Professional profile in context
An ENT career with a focus on nasal reconstruction
Balıkçı’s published career moves from medical education at Cerrahpaşa to ENT training at Haseki, followed by work in Suşehri and Burdur and then private practice in Antalya. The distinction between training, an academic title and a present-day practice is useful: the associate-professor title in his CV does not by itself establish a current university post. The dated milestones below retain what the available sources support.
His practice information connects aesthetic rhinoplasty with septal and reconstructive work. In a first consultation, this makes it useful to explain not only the profile or tip you would like to change, but also breathing concerns and any earlier nasal operations. His site describes both primary and revision surgery; that is a description of offered clinical areas, not confirmation that any particular patient is a candidate.
What the research explores
The selected bibliography has a consistent nasal-surgery theme: thick-skin management in 2022, lower lateral cartilage reconstruction in multiply operated noses in 2024, and a septal extension graft for revision tip management in 2025. These titles help identify the questions the papers explore. They should not be turned into a claim that every patient receives those methods or that one method produces superior results.

What does the practice focus on?
Primary rhinoplasty and nasal function
The official procedure page discusses rhinoplasty, septal surgery, an open approach and ultrasonic assistance for bony work. These are descriptions by the practice, not a recommendation of a technique for every patient.
Revision assessment
The clinic separately describes revision rhinoplasty, grafting and nasal-tip reconstruction. Ask how earlier operations affect the available support and what previous records would help the assessment. The proposed plan requires an individual consultation.
Septal surgery and reconstruction
The service information also lists septoplasty, primary and revision septorhinoplasty and septal-perforation repair. Ask which anatomical concern a proposed procedure addresses and how breathing will be assessed alongside appearance.
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.
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.
ASPS · Rhinoplasty consultation
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.
