After months of Rhinoplasty research I am so grateful to have stumbled across Dr Yavuz Selim’s profile. The experience & work from the beginning to end along side his assistant Imane was outstanding and do highly recommend. (Especially if you are after a natural look)
I went to see dr. Yavuz for a rhinoplasty recently and everything went amazing! He was extremely kinda and super gentle. He has an amazing team as well they were all super helpful and very supportive. Imane was who I was contacting and she was the biggest help and answered every question I had and made me feel comfortable. Overall my experience was amazing and would recommend 10/10!!
Saw doctor Selim a few weeks ago, extremely happy with the result. He did exactly what he said he would do in the consultation and definitely improved my breathing which was a big request of mine. 100% recommend, whole experience was very easy and im very happy I chose him. Thank you again !
I am delighted to recount my truly exceptional experience under the care of Prof. Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim, who performed my rhinoplasty using the innovative piezzo technique along with the added benefit of concha reduction using radiofrequency. From the very first consultation to the final follow-up, I was consistently impressed by his professionalism, expertise, and warm bedside manner.
One of the standout qualities that Prof. Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim possesses is his soothing voice, which instantly put me at ease. His ability to communicate complex medical information in a reassuring and understandable manner made me feel confident in my decision to undergo the procedure. Throughout the entire process, he exhibited an unparalleled level of patience, attentiveness, and genuine care for my well-being.
The results of the rhinoplasty were nothing short of remarkable. Thanks to the precision and finesse of the piezzo technique, I experienced no bruising – a remarkable outcome that truly exceeded my expectations. Even more impressive was the speed of my recovery. Within a relatively short period, I found myself back on my feet and feeling like myself again. What's more, the concha reduction greatly improved my breathing, allowing me to breathe better than ever before.
It is without a doubt that Prof. Dr. Yavuz Selim Yildirim is a master of his craft. His dedication to staying up-to-date with the latest techniques and advancements in the field is evident in the outstanding results he delivers.
