Independent doctor profile
Dr Selim Turan
Selim Turan is an Istanbul ENT surgeon whose teaching record offers a specific route into questions about nasal tip support. His programme topics and a colleague’s observation record are useful context for consultation, while remaining distinct from evidence about patient outcomes.

Education and professional background
- KBB / ENT
Medical and specialist education
His biography lists medicine at Yeditepe and ENT training at Antalya Training and Research Hospital, with a thesis in rhinology and allergy. Completion years are not assigned here because they were not clear in the reviewed biography.

A colleague’s observation record
Spanish surgeon Gustavo Sordo’s professional CV describes observing Turan in 2024, particularly fixation of a septal extension graft. This documents a colleague’s educational experience. The hospital named in that historical account is not confirmed here as Turan’s current operating venue.

What does the practice focus on?
Describe the tip goal precisely
Turan’s 2022 programme topics include open access and tip dynamics. In a consultation, distinguish how far the tip projects from how it rotates. Ask the surgeon to explain the proposed support and the limits of a simulation rather than treating a technique label as the plan.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
Open access is a planning question
A teaching session on the advantages and disadvantages of open access does not show which access is appropriate for you. Ask what the examination reveals that makes the proposed approach useful, and whether the choice would change after assessing previous surgery or skin thickness.

A graft description is not an outcome audit
Sordo’s account makes tip-support teaching identifiable, but it does not measure long-term stability, breathing or satisfaction across Turan’s patients. Training certificates in Turan’s own biography should also be read by their stated scope; a course is not automatically an accredited fellowship.

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
Look beyond the early tip photograph
When reading Reddit or RealSelf accounts about Turan, note the interval after surgery and whether the writer discusses breathing as well as shape. This review has not authenticated patient reports or “botched” claims. Selected early photographs cannot establish stable tip position or a practice-wide complication rate.

Ask what the proposed plan includes
No current Turan price has been verified. Request a written explanation of the planned procedure, hospital, anaesthesia, follow-up and any change in fees if the plan changes after examination. A quote should identify the responsible provider; a social-media package label is insufficient.

Images and messages need provenance
An Instagram account or WhatsApp group using Turan’s name is not verified by this page. Check the identity independently and distinguish a simulation, an immediate operative image and a healed result. Do not infer who will assess your nose or perform surgery from a forwarded image.
