I had a septorhinoplasty at this clinic with Dr. Yazgan. Before my surgery, I was not informed about the potential use of grafts, which I later learned were part of the procedure. I was also advised that I could return to dancing after six weeks.
During the consultation, I clearly explained that I liked my face and wanted only a subtle correction to straighten a minor bump caused by a previous bike accident. I specifically mentioned that I didn’t want major changes or a lifted tip. The doctor assured me that my nose would look natural and that any swelling would settle into my original tip position.
After surgery, I was initially very distressed by how different my nose appeared in the immediate post-operative photos. Although I hoped the swelling would subside and the final result would align with our discussion, over the following months, I felt that my nose appeared significantly smaller and more reduced than I expected.
I later sought opinions from other specialists who explained that additional grafts had been used. I wish this had been discussed beforehand, as it would have helped me make a fully informed decision.
While I understand that surgical outcomes can vary, I was disappointed by how my concerns were handled afterwards. I would have appreciated clearer communication before the operation and more support during the recovery process.
My experience left me emotionally and physically affected, and I hope that future patients receive full transparency and detailed explanations about all possible aspects of their surgery before proceeding.
