Independent doctor profile
Dr Murat Songu
Murat Songu is an İzmir ENT surgeon whose public record includes teaching on closed and preservation rhinoplasty. The useful consultation distinction is between the route used to reach the nose and the decision about which structures to preserve or reconstruct.

Education and professional background
- Ege / Celal Bayar
ENT career in western Turkey
His biography records medicine at Ege and ENT training at Celal Bayar. It gives associate-professor and professor dates of 2014 and 2021. This profile uses Dr; those self-published titles do not establish a current university post or operating-hospital appointment.
Source: Murat Songu — detailed professional biography - 2005–2006
Bordeaux observation and training
The detailed CV describes observation and training in Bordeaux during 2005–2006. Its wording is narrower than the general narrative about surgery abroad, so no independent operating role in France is inferred. The historical connection does not confirm French-language consultations today.

What does the practice focus on?
Ask what preservation means in your plan
Songu’s practice discusses preservation rhinoplasty. Ask which part of the bridge would be retained, what would be altered and what findings could favour reconstruction instead. The website’s descriptions are not a promise of fewer risks or a particular recovery time.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
Access and preservation are separate decisions
The 2022 All in One programme places Songu in teaching on closed rhinoplasty and preservation of the dorsum. These are related topics, but “closed” alone does not explain what will happen to the bridge. A consultation should describe the actual structural plan in ordinary language.

Define when the plan would change
Ask how deviation, prior surgery or an unexpected finding would affect the proposed preservation plan. This review does not adopt the practice page’s broad reassurance about disadvantages: the same page also discusses risks and limitations. The appropriate option needs an individual assessment, not a technique slogan.

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
Check which operation a story describes
A review of Songu on Reddit or RealSelf may use “closed” and “preservation” interchangeably without an operative record. Check the author’s actual procedure and follow-up before comparing it with your plan. This profile has not verified individual reviews or allegations described as “botched”.

Price does not follow from the access label
No current Songu fee has been verified. Ask whether the estimate reflects the examination-based plan and how a change from preservation to reconstruction would be handled. Confirm the operating facility and included follow-up; a historical hospital name in a biography is not a booking confirmation.
- Editorial research guidance · Rhinoplasty Team Turkey — editorial research guidance, 13 October 2026; not patient evidence
Confirm the present practice arrangements
An old Instagram post or a WhatsApp group can retain an outdated hospital or team name. Check the present provider, location and aftercare responsibility independently. This profile does not verify a social account, group or overseas follow-up service for Songu.

This dated source review distinguishes published records from practice descriptions and patient-authored material. It does not audit individual outcomes or confirm services for a future booking.
