What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 92 Google reviewsFor a year, I researched and consulted almost every doctor in Ankara looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon. I saw and compared all the best. After my first consultation with Dr. Arda, and comparing his results with simulations done by other doctors, my friends and I decided he was the best, based on his Instagram posts as well. I realized that the process varies from person to person, not because it would be easy, but because he was being realistic and had techniques that other doctors didn't have. Looking at his other patients, I also saw that he had less swelling and bruising. Indeed, I had no bruising and I think I had less swelling compared to my friends who had surgery elsewhere. Everyone's pain threshold is different; I'm a bit sensitive to pain, but even so, I didn't have too much difficulty. Everything gets much easier after the second week. It's perhaps too early, it's only been a month, but I'm really happy, thank God 😍 I told him I wanted a small nose that suited my natural face and wasn't overly upturned, but of course, since it's surgery, I wanted a small nose, and he really did it that way. Not only did I not look the same as everyone else, but it turned out beautifully 🎀 It's only been a month, but it's so beautiful. Hopefully, it will be even more beautiful once all the swelling is gone 🙏🏻 He's a very warm, sincere person who cares about his patients' wishes. I'm so glad I left this process with you, Dr. Arda, thank you so much ✨
Dr. Arda is a very successful and caring doctor. I had rhinoplasty. He said there wouldn't be any pain, bruising, or redness after the surgery. And that's exactly what happened. I went through the process without taking any painkillers. My nose turned out exactly as I wanted. I definitely recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
My path crossed with Dr. Arda 6 years ago. I was very fixated and insecure about my nose. I had heard a lot about him, so I went into the surgery without any hesitation. The process went very well; his care and attention were excellent. It was the best decision I've ever made. Whenever nose surgery is mentioned, I immediately say Dr. Arda's name without hesitation. I haven't witnessed anyone who wasn't satisfied after going to him. You are truly a wonderful doctor. Thank you so much for everything, doctor 💗🫶🏻
I found Dr. Arda after extensive research and, after following all his procedures for a long time, decided to have my revision rhinoplasty done by him. Our first consultation was online, and he answered all my questions before I even asked them, explaining the process. I came from Istanbul for the surgery, and both he and his assistants were very helpful until the day of the surgery and afterwards. He created an exact replica of the nose he showed me in the simulation during the online consultation. Since I had been following him for a long time, I was very comfortable because he does both initial and revision rhinoplasty beautifully, and I was sure the result would be great for me too. I didn't experience any pain during the process, and many people around me were encouraged to have the surgery after seeing how relaxed I was. I could breathe normally despite the nasal packing, and I went through the whole process painlessly. Even after a month, although there is still some minor swelling, my nose looks very natural and beautiful. I would like to thank Dr. Arda once again for his excellent work. ✨✨
