What does the practice focus on?
Remote discussion, then examination
His published pathway begins with preliminary online evaluation and continues with physical examination and photographic or 3D analysis where appropriate. Clarify which decisions can be discussed remotely and which require examination.
Revision records and cartilage support
The revision page discusses previous notes and photographs, altered anatomy and possible septal, ear or rib cartilage. The plan depends on assessment; the page does not establish your need for a graft or a personal surgical price.
Provider records have limits
ClinicHub identifies the same doctor as an ENT surgeon and describes primary, revision and ethnic-rhinoplasty interests. Its profile is a provider source, not an outcome audit. The sources differ on whether his practice is exclusively nasal surgery; no exclusivity is asserted here.

Clinical interests & published evidence
Evidence reviewed:
Remote planning has an examination stage
The Dr YOU site describes a remote discussion followed by physical assessment and 3D planning. Ask what can be decided from photographs and what remains provisional until examination. Simulation illustrates a conversation; it cannot establish a guaranteed postoperative shape or replace evaluation of the nasal airway.
- Practice-published information · Dr YOU — Consultation information
Previous records matter in revision
Uçal’s revision page discusses surgical notes, photographs, altered anatomy and possible septal, ear or rib grafts. These are useful subjects for the assessment: what support remains, what needs rebuilding and whether a donor site is anticipated. The published possibilities do not determine which graft you need.

Clarify which organisation manages the appointment
The current Dr YOU information identifies Ataşehir. A provider profile has used Kadıköy, so confirm the current consultation location and operating hospital directly. Provider descriptions are not independent clinical evidence, and the availability of a language page does not confirm the language of consent or aftercare.

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
RealSelf and provider material have different roles
A matching RealSelf ENT profile was located. Clinichub also publishes a provider biography; it should not be counted as an independent patient review. No review score, outcome claim or individual Reddit story is verified by this profile.

Revision complexity changes the scope of a quote
The practice describes revision cost as dependent on complexity, the facility and graft requirements. No current numeric personal fee was verified. Ask whether graft harvesting, hospital care and additional follow-up are included and what happens financially if the physical assessment changes the plan.

No verified group invitation
No official Instagram handle or official patient WhatsApp group was established from the reviewed sources. Confirm whether a contact represents Dr YOU or another coordinating provider. A direct enquiry channel does not authenticate a separately run patient group.
- Practice-published information · Dr YOU — Consultation information
This dated source review distinguishes published records from practice descriptions and patient-authored material. It does not audit individual outcomes or confirm services for a future booking.

Questions before contacting the practice
Where is the doctor based?
Istanbul, Türkiye
What is the doctor’s specialty?
ENT specialist
What can an online discussion establish?
Ask what can be assessed remotely and which decisions must wait for examination. Photographs and digital analysis support discussion; they do not substitute for a final clinical plan.
How can I explain what I want to preserve?
Discuss both desired changes and features you value. Ask how your skin and existing nasal support limit possible changes, especially after earlier surgery.
Who is responsible for the agreed care?
Ask which provider is responsible for the hospital, follow-up and complications, and where each responsibility is written. Rhinoplasty Team Turkey does not represent the doctor or promise any platform package.
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.
