Education and professional background
- 1989–1993
Medical and ENT education
His biography records a 1989 medical degree at Hacettepe University and ENT specialist training there from 1989 to 1993. These dates describe his education, not an audit of present clinical outcomes.

Administration and professorship
He completed a master’s degree in health administration at Başkent University in 1999; the biography dates his ENT professorship to 2017. The administration qualification is distinct from surgical specialist training.

Historical hospital leadership
The record describes leadership at the American Hospital and VKV healthcare institutions in 2003–2006 and Acıbadem Fulya in 2008–2010. These are historical appointments and should not be read as current operating-hospital commitments.

What does the practice focus on?
Appearance and breathing
His patient material considers nasal shape alongside breathing. Open and closed access are described as choices influenced by deformity, earlier surgery, septal deviation and cartilage support. A technique name alone cannot determine suitability.
Discuss the proposed structural work
Structural reconstruction, dorsal preservation and piezoelectric bone instruments appear in his information. They concern different decisions. Ask what would be preserved or reconstructed and how a planning image differs from a promised result.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
Cartilage preparation in an animal model
Dal co-authored a 2005 study of crushed and diced cartilage grafts in rabbits. It examines graft viability after different preparation methods. It informs biological questions about graft handling, not present-day patient satisfaction, revision rates or an individual cosmetic outcome.

Programme listings are not outcome evidence
The supplied October 2026 source review records IFOS programme sessions on dorsal preservation, revision surgery and severe septal deviation. A programme records scheduled teaching; it does not establish attendance, current availability or endorsement of a particular patient’s 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
ENT reviews need procedure context
No independently audited rhinoplasty review dataset was verified for this profile. When reading Reddit or RealSelf, separate first-hand surgical accounts from general ENT experiences. Check the operation, follow-up interval and whether images are comparable; a publication is not a substitute for patient outcome data.
- Publication record · Cakmak et al., 2005 — cartilage-graft viability; DOI 10.1001/archfaci.7.1.21
Define the operation before comparing fees
No current fixed fee was verified. The reviewed material links price to the operation, previous surgery, grafts and hospital costs. A written quotation should distinguish surgery, anaesthesia, tests and follow-up from travel, accommodation and possible additional care.

English information and private groups
English information exists, but it does not confirm consultation language or an official WhatsApp patient group. This profile assigns no social account or group invitation. Check group administrators and referral incentives before sharing personal health information.
