Independent doctor profile
Op. Dr. Umut Erdoğan
Umut Erdoğan is an Antalya ENT specialist. His biography describes training at Ege University, the Turkish ENT society records his specialist qualification, and Mediface lists him as an ENT doctor. Those records identify a clinician; they do not predict a patient’s rhinoplasty result.

What does the practice focus on?
Training is context, not an outcome measure
The biography describes nasal and sinus anatomy training, including a dissection thesis. Ask how examination of your own nose separates appearance goals from the cause of any breathing symptom; a training description does not establish a success percentage.
What changes in a revision enquiry?
His practice has a revision rhinoplasty page that discusses visible and functional concerns and possible cartilage sources. Bring previous operative records if available, and ask what can be assessed only in person.
Clarify remote support in writing
The practice describes preliminary photo assessment, travel coordination, WhatsApp support and later check-ins. Ask which services are in your own written proposal, who replies, what requires an in-person review and how urgent concerns are escalated.
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.

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.

Questions before contacting the practice
Where is the doctor based?
Antalya, Türkiye
What is the doctor’s specialty?
ENT specialist
Does a Mediface listing verify a patient WhatsApp group?
No. It verifies a professional listing. The reviewed public sources did not verify an official patient-group invitation.
Can a photo assessment replace examination?
A preliminary remote discussion may organize questions, but an individual surgical plan requires appropriate clinical assessment and agreement with the treating team.
Does advertised remote follow-up define my package?
No. Ask for the frequency, responsible clinician, response process and costs in your own written arrangements.
Can I book this doctor through RTT?
No. This is an independent information page. Use the doctor’s official contact page for consultations, fees, the proposed hospital and follow-up arrangements.
