Independent doctor profile
Prof. Dr. Salih Aydın
Salih Aydın’s official biography records Istanbul Faculty of Medicine graduation in 2003, ENT residency from 2004 to 2009, subsequent hospital work and an academic role at İstinye University from 2019. English provider material identifies facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasty interests. A ClinicalTrials.gov record names him in a completed study of postoperative swelling and bruising after rhinoplasty. This profile does not repeat unverified volume or outcome claims and does not arrange care.

Education and professional background
- Training and career
Istanbul medicine, ENT residency and later teaching
The doctor-published biography states medical graduation in 2003, ENT residency between 2004 and 2009, work at Bağcılar and Medipol, and a faculty role at İstinye University beginning in 2019. These are attributed career claims. Confirm any current university title and the actual hospital for a proposed procedure rather than assuming every past institution remains involved.

An English provider profile without a popularity claim
The English Wandel Clinic profile describes Aydın as an otolaryngology and facial-plastic specialist with interests including primary, ethnic and revision rhinoplasty. Its availability is a useful English-language signal for UK research, not evidence of UK registration, a UK clinic, English consent arrangements or patient numbers.

What does the practice focus on?
Turn labels such as ethnic or revision rhinoplasty into an anatomical plan
The provider profile names several rhinoplasty categories. Ask what those labels mean for your skin, support, airway and previous grafts, which change has a functional purpose and which is aesthetic, and what goal would remain limited. Category names do not establish a standardized operation or result.
Read the registered study as a question about early recovery
The ClinicalTrials.gov record concerns interventions for edema and ecchymosis after rhinoplasty. A registration documents a defined research protocol; it does not by itself show a published benefit or predict your recovery. Ask whether results are available and what routine, evidence-based swelling plan is actually proposed.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
Primary, ethnic and revision are planning categories
The English provider profile lists primary, ethnic and revision rhinoplasty among Aydın’s interests. These labels do not define a standard technique or outcome. A useful consultation should translate them into skin, support, airway, prior-surgery and graft considerations, and explain which goal may be limited in the individual anatomy.

Registered research on swelling and bruising
ClinicalTrials.gov records a completed study concerning postoperative edema and ecchymosis after rhinoplasty and names Salih Aydın in the record. Registration supports that a protocol existed; it does not itself provide a published result, prove superiority of an intervention or predict one patient’s recovery. Ask for the results and the actual routine-care plan.

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
Read reviews by procedure, timing and evidence
For Salih Aydın reviews on Reddit or RealSelf, separate primary from revision cases and check the operation and follow-up dates. A patient’s satisfaction or difficult recovery is personal evidence, not an audited probability for another patient. Seek descriptions of consent, hospital and follow-up rather than relying on a star score or a before-and-after image.

A named and itemised quote, not a social-media price
No current personal rhinoplasty price for Aydın is verified here. Primary, revision and graft-requiring cases may have different resources. Request a dated quotation naming surgeon, hospital, anaesthesia, planned procedure, possible graft costs and follow-up, with cancellation and plan-change terms. A package screenshot or another patient’s price is not your obligation.

Instagram, WhatsApp and adverse-outcome searches
This review does not authenticate a specific Instagram account or official patient WhatsApp group for Aydın. Verify the recipient through the current controlled practice site before sharing health data or paying. “Botched” is a search intention, not a verified conclusion. If a post raises a concrete concern, compare medical records, timing and an independent examination.
