Gynecomastia Beykoz

I am currently 7 days post-op, obviously very very early days within the Rhinoplasty journey. I flew from the UK to Istanbul on the 13th of November and had my surgery the following day (14th) I have been enquiring about Rhino for many years actually having booked my original surgery with an alternative clinic in 2021 but didn’t end up going ahead with it due to reservations. I have been in contact with Vanity since June and took the plunge of booking September 13th (after a lot of research) with a guy called Sefa, who was very helpful with the booking confirmation and pre-operative do and donts. I wanted my surgery asap, and locked in for the 14th of November surgery date. Arrival date 13th of November and as soon as I landed Sefa had gave me instructions on how to meet the transfer who arrived promptly in a lovely transfer vehicle and offered us some water after our flight. The clinic from the airport is about 35 minutes away, but there was a lot of traffic so took us about an hour, straight from the airport we went to the clinic to get blood tests and then was dropped off at the hotel where the transfer guy even helped us check in and make sure we were their safely. I stayed at the Mercure which honestly start to finish was amazing service 24/7 room service, food was Devine and the room sand comfortable and were perfect for what I needed. The day before surgery I was contacted by a guy called Umut who explained he was going to be my post operative patient coordinator. He sent me the full schedule of the time the transfer would be there to pick me up and at what point I needed to stop eating to be nil by mouth. Surgery day- Surgery day came and the transfer picked us up promptly at the time given and we went straight to the hotel where I was met by Umut, Umut asked how I was feeling, and if I had any reservations / questions ect. Umut took me up to the clinic room where I was met with My surgeon Dr Erman Meneske, and honestly he was SO thorough with what he told me about my nose, (one point if you were not sure about having hr surgery you certainly will be after a consultation with the surgeon as he went in complete depth of what I needed doing ect) Dr Erman Meneske took some pictures and did a little edit on how I would like the nose, he asked me exactly what I wanted changing ect and took me exactly what was going to happen in the surgery room, he has also gone through some post operative care at this point. We were then taken to my room, which was spacious and had an en suite. Umut came in with a nurse and went through some questions and consent forms etc. Umut was extremely helpful with any reservations or questions I had prior to surgery and trust me sometimes I ask the most basic questions but no question was too big or too small. I had surgery about 2 hours after arriving at the hospital and was in surgery for just short of 3 and a half hours. Within about 1.5 hours after waking up, the surgeon Dr Erman Meneske came and showed some table pictures and explained what had happened in the surgery room. I ended up having Rhino plasticity and Sepsoplasty along with a blocked left nostril passage that was corrected. My surgery was very invasive and complex as I had an accident early this year in February and fractured my nose in 7 different places. I also had a bone sticking out from the left side, it was on the larger side and droopy and a deviated septum. (Ethnic nose) The following morning after surgery Umut came in to make sure I was okay and how I was feeling which was so lovely and comforting. Of course, I was extremely tired and the swelling started (boy oh boy no one prepares you for that swelling) The surgeon came in and went through the surgery again and asked me how I was feeling gave me my medication and explained when to use it and how. Later that day I was discharged and went back the hotel room to recover. During the recovery, I obviously had a lot of questions about the way I was feeling / what was happening and Umut answered extremely promptly and efficiently. He also gave me a post-operative guide on how to take my medication and what to do within the recovery stage. Day five post op I went back to the clinic to have the cast-off and tapes put on. Transfer arrived prompt as always and then was met with Umut who took us up to the surgeon for the removal. Obviously, you must mentally prepare yourself for cast removal as u are extremely swollen, and in my case, I have thick skin so I have a long recovery due to swelling. I was shown what the nose looks like with the cast off and from the side it’s beautiful but extremely swelled from the front which I know within the complexity of the surgery it’s a massive trust in the process. Overall my experience has been nothing but smooth and helpful. I was sure to return if I wanted any more cosmetic treatment done. For now, time to heal and recover. Thank you ALL that were involved 😀
