Approach
Every consultation begins by listening to the complaint and the expectation; the nose is assessed externally and endoscopically, and the airway is examined separately. When an aesthetic change is planned, the function of the nose is protected; when a functional operation is planned, the outer appearance is not neglected.
The decision is made after the examination, once the scope of the procedure, its possible risks and the recovery period have been discussed. The informed-consent process is part of this conversation.
Patients from abroad
Patients travel to Izmir from Europe, the United Kingdom and further afield. Communication is in English; a preliminary opinion can be given from photographs and a short history, and the treatment plan is confirmed at the in-person consultation. The length of stay depends on the procedure and is set out on each treatment page.
