I had rhinoplasty at this clinic with doctor Akif
I had rhinoplasty at this clinic with doctor Akif almost a year ago, and unfortunately, I’m not fully satisfied with the results. During the consultation with the manager and the doctor, I was told that the hump on my nose would be completely removed and the bridge would be smooth. However, after healing, the cartilage that was added is now visibly protruding, and my nose still doesn’t look as expected. It honestly feels like the procedure didn’t make the difference I was promised.
What also disappointed me was that the consultation and surgery were scheduled on the same day, leaving little time to properly communicate with the doctor or ask detailed questions. For such a major decision, I would have appreciated a more thorough and patient-focused approach.
Another point to mention is that only the most successful results are shown on their website and social media. I think it’s important for future patients to see a wider range of outcomes, including those that are more mixed, like mine.
10/10 experience
Dr Akif really took his time and showed interest in my wishes and concerns. He was very honest in what could be possible to achieve according to my face features and the inspiration photos I showed him. He’s very pleasant to talk to and he really did care for me as his patient. He was focused on me as an individual and not “just another of his patients” type of doctor. He got me a nose I asked for, or even better. The staff were also really friendly and helpful and were there for me 24/7 along the process. The clinic was beautiful, new and modern with specious room for your recovery plus a sofa to sleep for your partner. I also had minimal bruising and pain post surgery which were noticed by many. I will be forever grateful for the smooth and easy experience and of course the results itself. You’re in the very good hands if you choose this doctor ❤️

Dr Akif...A caring surgeon
Dr Akif.... Dr Akif. Thank you for artistic work.
1. You are kind and I appreciate your empathetic self. Being alone in a foreign country with limited English can be daunting. You were a Star.
2. The pre procedure process fully and well explained. I thank you
3. The job done on my nose. Excellent.
4. Post job consultation before leaving turkey. Clear and concise.
5. Your colleague, Aleyna, arranging travelling logistics. She is a Star. Please pass this message to her.
6. Check-ins once back into my home country. Very appreciated.
7. Your own facilities. World class. Felt like I checked into a 5 star hotel. Thank you, Dr Akif.
Note: It's true patients' healing time differs. I seem to realise that I heal slower than most BUT healing is nice and slow. I continue to tape and massage.
I'm on my 4th month and already loving the results.
Thank you. Thank you... Thank you. Remain blessed.

5/5 stars for Dr. Akif
I recently had the pleasure of undergoing rhinoplasty with Dr. Akif, and I couldn’t be more impressed with both the process and the results. From the initial consultation, Dr. Akif’s expertise was evident. He took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, making sure I understood exactly what would be done and how it would benefit me. His knowledge of facial anatomy is exceptional, and he worked with me to create a nose that not only enhances my appearance but also complements my face perfectly.
Dr. Akif’s approach was very gentle, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire experience. He truly listens to his patients and ensures that their concerns and desires are heard. The level of care and attention to detail he showed during the process was outstanding, and it’s clear that he takes immense pride in his work.
Post-surgery, my recovery was smooth, and the results exceeded my expectations. The natural, balanced look Dr. Akif achieved is exactly what I hoped for, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you’re looking for a skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Akif Yildirim.

Words wont be enough to Thank Dr Akif
Words wont be enough to Thank Dr Akif. After having a good search of a year I made my final decision to fly from Riyadh SA 🇸🇦 to Istanbul and get my nose job done only by Dr Akif, he is very calm and honest and he knows what nose job fits to the face and body figure, He was very patience with me. At the very beginning I was scared and nervous but Its like a dream that somebody woke me up from a deep sleep and the whole procedure went smoothly without feeling any pain. The main reason of choosing dr Akif was to get a natural long lasting nose job look as he understood what I wanted since l our first consultation which made me so confident that here I go this is the Surgeon I am looking to handover my nose. Thank you Dr Akif

Great surgeon
I had my nose job with Dr. Akif two months ago, and so far, I’m very happy with the results. I didn’t experience severe bruising, and I was able to smell again just after 5 days. I felt very well taken care of by Dr. Akif and could tell that he really knows what he's doing. I trusted him completely and was not disappointed. I can definitely recommend him, and the price to value ratio was also great.

10/10 for Dr. Akif
First of all, I am very happy with my results so far. I had my nose job in April and my nose is already very very beautiful. I didn’t have any pain, not even after the surgery and was even able to visit the city of Istanbul with my cast on. :) I had an translater who did an amazing job which was very comforting as well. My nose is exactly the way I wanted, very natural but stunning! Dr. Akif did an amazing job, which I’m very grateful for. I would recommend him to anyone.

Amazing doctor and overall experience
After lots of research I chose to trust Dr. Akif for my septorhinoplasty and I’m glad that I did. He did exactly what I wanted and gave me realistic expectations for the recovery process. My nose looks perfect after only two weeks. The recovery process was not easy because I had headaches and toothaches, but at least I had no bruising at all and minimal swelling. Dr. Akif was on the same page with me during the consultation and listened to my wishes carefully. The staff in the Elit Klinik hospital were very nice and attentive to my needs as well. I am very thankful to Dr. Akif and all the staff in the hospital. I definitely recommend him. ☺️

Came from Canada!
It was a long journey here, and I came alone so I was very scared and hesitant as I’m only 20. But I’m SO happy I did! Dr. Akif is a great doctor, he has been so patient with me as he had to make me about 3 simulations after showing him a few inspiration pictures of what I wanted until I was finally satisfied with one! He gave me what I want , I’m so so happy. His team is amazing. Roberta my first translator was so amazing and helpful and calmed me down a lot before my surgery and my entire trip, I am so grateful for her . My second translator Marcos also calmed me down when it was cast removal , he made me feel comfortable and made it fun! The staff at the hotel were amazing and I became friends with them. I recommend booking with him, I would do it again , so sad to leave here, but so happy I got to explore the city and to leave with my new nose and a bunch of memories during my week in Istanbul!

I came from the U.K
I came from the U.K, after speaking with numerous companies I honestly felt there was only one that had my best interests at heart. I went alone and not at one point did I feel I had made the wrong decision with the doctor. I left him to work his magic and couldn’t be any happier with the results. They look so natural and perfect. I can’t thank Dr AKif and the team enough

Nice people
The hospital is great and all the nurses there and of course the doctor himself are very helpful, patient and give to every question the right answer. I would have wanted to Talk to the doctor a Bit More about how I want my nose to look like because he seemed like being in a rush and it took only 5 minutes to Talk to him but I am very happy with the results and thats the Most Important. All in all it was very Good 🥰
