I came from the USA for rhinoplasty and I am very glad I chose Dr. Ozturk and his team.
From the very moment of our arrival, everyone was very welcoming, friendly and always ready to help. Traveling abroad for surgery can be frightening, but thanks to the team the whole process turned out to be much easier. They always answered my questions and did everything possible to make me feel comfortable at every stage.
I am very happy with the result. My nose looks natural, blends harmoniously with my facial features and fully matches what I expected. Dr. Ozturk was attentive to me throughout the entire process and took the time to understand my wishes.
Overall, my experience was wonderful. I felt cared for and supported from beginning to end. I am sincerely grateful to the whole team and confidently recommend Dr. Ozturk to anyone planning rhinoplasty.

Throughout the entire preparation and surgery, getting to know Professor Dr. Guncel Ozturk and his team was a real stroke of luck for me. Before the operation I had serious fears, but after meeting the doctor and his team, all my worries completely disappeared.
Thanks to the attention and support of his assistant Mualla, as well as the professionalism and kindness of the nurse Enes, I felt completely safe. The whole team was incredibly attentive, patient and truly highly qualified.
The surgery went absolutely wonderfully. I had almost no pain, and most importantly, my face kept its natural look, and the result turned out exactly as I had imagined. It felt like I had started a new life.

Unfortunately, the result of my rhinoplasty turned out to be unsuccessful. Before the operation I had no problems with the bone structure of my nose — I was only bothered by a tip that was too bulky and drooping.
The surgery was done on me in 2016. Right after it, I was satisfied both with the process itself and with the appearance of my nose. At the follow-up examinations during the first year, the doctor said that the final result would form over time.
However, the opposite happened. Instead of improving after the swelling went down, the tip of the nose became even more drooping over time. From the front, the nose looks wide, and when I smile a noticeable asymmetry has appeared. Now I hardly ever take photos from the front or from the right side. Only the left profile looks relatively acceptable, but I am completely dissatisfied with how my nose looks from the front.
Of course, compared to the initial condition there are changes — previously the tip was even lower. That is exactly why I chose Dr. Guncel, hoping to get a natural result. But unfortunately, in my case that naturalness did not live up to expectations.
Almost ten years have already passed. Over the last two years I have had filler injections several times to slightly raise the tip of the nose, but this did not help solve the problem of the front-view appearance.
I chose this surgeon because I really liked his work, but unfortunately I realized that in aesthetic surgery much depends not only on the doctor's skill but also on the individual characteristics of the body.
I never dared to have a repeat operation, so I continue to live with a result that does not satisfy me.

I chose this clinic for my rhinoplasty and I am very happy with my decision.
The surgery was 12 days ago, and the cast will be removed the day after tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing the result, understanding that the swelling still remains and the final effect will appear over time.
During the follow-up visit before leaving, while sitting in the waiting area, I accidentally overheard other patients discussing my nose and saying that it looks very natural. This reassured me and confirmed that I had made the right choice.
Initially I came to correct the nasal septum, since previously I often suffered from colds and a stuffy nose. During the consultation with Dr. Guncel Ozturk we also decided to:
* correct the symmetry of the nostrils;
* reduce the volume of cartilage tissue.
Throughout the entire process I kept in constant contact with the doctor's assistants — Rosa and Lily. I want to sincerely thank them for their attention and care. They regularly asked about my well-being, gave recommendations and were always ready to help.
The hospital room was very comfortable, the food was tasty, and the staff responded quickly to every request.
I sincerely recommend this clinic for its professionalism, care, comfort and human attitude.

In plastic surgery it is not enough to simply change the shape of the nose, enlarge the breasts or lift the face. A true result is an appearance that looks harmonious and remains natural. It is on this idea that the work of DRGO Clinic is built — a boutique plastic surgery clinic in the centre of Istanbul, founded in 2012 by Associate Professor Guncel Ozturk.
Guncel Ozturk is a European Board Plastic Surgeon, he specializes in Preservation Rhinoplasty and has contributed to the field through numerous peer-reviewed scientific publications on Preservation Rhinoplasty and innovative nasal surgery techniques published in internationally recognized medical journals.
Rhinoplasty as the art of harmony
Reshaping the nose is the main focus of DRGO Clinic. The doctor performs primary, revision, closed and preservation rhinoplasty (Preservation Rhinoplasty), selecting the technique according to each patient’s anatomy.
One of the clinic’s exclusive techniques is dynamic rhinoplasty (Dynamic Rhinoplasty). In classic rhinoplasty the nasal tip often remains immobile, which can make the nose look less natural when smiling, talking or during other facial movements. Dr. Ozturk’s technique is aimed at preserving the natural mobility of the nasal tip. Thanks to special surgical methods it moves in sync with the facial expressions, so the face keeps its lively expressiveness and the result of the operation looks as natural as possible.
Another feature of the clinic is three-dimensional planning of the result. After modelling on the Vectra 3D system, the patient can not only see the future shape of the nose on screen but also receive a 3D-printed volumetric model (3D Rhinoplasty Mask). This approach helps to assess the future proportions in advance and discuss every detail of the operation with the surgeon.
Breast surgery: the balance of shape and proportion
At DRGO Clinic they believe that the beauty of the breasts is determined not by the number of millilitres of an implant, but by how harmoniously it matches a woman’s figure. That is why, before surgery, the doctor analyses the body proportions, chest width, tissue quality and the patient’s lifestyle.
When planning mammoplasty, three-dimensional modelling is used here, helping to compare different options of shape and volume even before the operation. In some cases the doctor recommends composite breast augmentation — a combination of implants and lipofilling. This technique makes the transitions smoother, hides the contours of implants in slim women and achieves the most natural result.
The clinic also performs lifts, reduction and reconstruction of the breasts, paying special attention to symmetry and natural proportions.
Natural rejuvenation without the “overtightened” face effect
For age-related changes, Dr. Ozturk prefers a deep facelift (Deep Plane Facelift). Unlike classic techniques, the surgeon works not only with the skin but also with the deeper anatomical structures. This makes it possible to restore natural contours without excessive skin tension, so the result looks more harmonious and the face keeps its natural expression.
To correct the upper and middle thirds of the face, the clinic uses endoscopic pentalift (Pentalift). The technique makes it possible to simultaneously lift the forehead, eyebrows, temporal area, outer corners of the eyes and the middle third of the face through small incisions in the scalp. The clinic also performs blepharoplasty, chin surgery, liposuction, lipofilling, abdominoplasty and operations after significant weight loss.
The philosophy of natural beauty
Guncel Ozturk is convinced that plastic surgery lies at the crossroads of science and art. That is why every operation begins not with the choice of a technique but with the search for the proportions that will emphasise a person’s individuality. It is precisely this approach that has brought the doctor international recognition: his signature techniques are published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and plastic surgeons from different countries come to DRGO Clinic to learn his methods.
If you dream not just of changing your appearance but of emphasising your natural beauty, the specialists of Beauty by Experts Medical will help arrange a consultation with Dr. Guncel Ozturk, answer all your questions and take care of organising the trip to Turkey.
