Independent doctor profile
Prof. Dr. Yavuz Selim Yıldırım
Hisar Intercontinental Hospital currently lists Yavuz Selim Yıldırım in ENT. Its biography records graduation from Istanbul University in 2005, ENT residency at Haseki in 2010 and the associate-professor title at Bezmialem in 2017. His own practice site includes rhinoplasty among a broad ENT and facial-plastic scope. This independent profile tests those claims against a specific nasal-airway publication and does not represent or book him.

Education and professional background
- Training
Istanbul medical education and Haseki ENT residency
The current Hisar biography records Istanbul School of Medicine graduation in 2005 and completion of ENT residency at Haseki Teaching and Research Hospital in 2010. It also describes his Bezmialem academic period and 2017 associate-professor title. Treat those university dates as career history; Hisar is the current hospital identified here.

A measured study of the inferior turbinate
A PubMed-indexed 2010 case series names Yıldırım as a co-author and used radiological measurements after inferior-turbinate outfracture. It documents work on one contributor to nasal obstruction, not rhinoplasty aesthetics, an individual complication rate or a guarantee that the same intervention suits every blocked nose.

What does the practice focus on?
Ask what is changing inside and outside the nose
The official practice material includes rhinoplasty alongside sinus, sleep, ear and head-and-neck work. If appearance and breathing are both concerns, ask for separate diagnoses and planned steps: septum, turbinates, nasal valves, bones and tip support should not be reduced to a single “nose job” label.
Name the hospital team and the post-travel pathway
A hospital profile identifies a current institution but not every future operating arrangement. Confirm surgeon, anaesthetist, facility, discharge criteria and who reviews an unexpected airway or wound concern. If travelling home, agree how examination—not messaging alone—will be arranged when needed.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
One measured airway study, not a universal operation
The 2010 case series co-authored by Yıldırım used CT measurements after inferior-turbinate outfracture in patients with septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy. It addresses a specific procedure and anatomy. It does not show that turbinate surgery is needed for every obstruction or that it predicts cosmetic rhinoplasty results.

Current Hisar role and historical university appointment
Hisar’s current English page places Yıldırım in its ENT service and records his earlier Bezmialem academic career, including the associate-professor title in 2017. The historical university entry should not be read as a current Bezmialem appointment. Confirm the exact hospital, surgical team and follow-up for a proposed case.

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
Match Yıldırım reviews to the treatment and timeline
For Yavuz Selim Yıldırım reviews on Reddit or RealSelf, confirm identity, hospital, surgery date and whether the subject was cosmetic rhinoplasty, airway surgery or another ENT procedure. Early swelling photographs and short reports should not be treated as final outcomes. Patient stories can suggest questions but cannot establish audited performance.

Hospital, surgeon and airway work belong on the quotation
No current personal rhinoplasty price for Yıldırım is verified. Request a dated quotation naming him, the hospital and the planned functional and aesthetic steps. It should separate anaesthesia, tests, possible graft material, medicines and follow-up, and explain costs if examination changes the plan. Do not reuse a price from social media or another patient.

Instagram and WhatsApp are not clinical verification
This profile does not authenticate a personal Instagram account or official WhatsApp patient group for Yıldırım. Verify any recipient through current Hisar or clearly controlled practice information before sending medical files. A search containing “botched” is not evidence about him; a suspected complication requires records and an independent clinical assessment.

Questions before contacting the practice
Where is the doctor based?
Ümraniye, Istanbul
What is the doctor’s specialty?
Otorhinolaryngology and head-and-neck surgery · Professor
How will you decide whether my obstruction comes from turbinates, septum, valves or another cause?
Ask for the examination findings behind each proposed step and how breathing will be documented. The 2010 turbinate study concerns a defined procedure and should not be generalized to every airway complaint.
Can I book this doctor through Rhinoplasty Team Turkey?
No. This is an independent information page. Rhinoplasty Team Turkey does not arrange consultations or treatment with this doctor.
