About Prof. Güven Güvenç
Prof. Güven Güvenç trained in otorhinolaryngology at Istanbul University, Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine, having read medicine at Istanbul University, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine. He has practised as an ENT specialist since 2004.
His stated areas of interest cover both halves of nasal surgery, aesthetic and functional, alongside endoscopic sinus surgery, ear surgery, salivary gland surgery, head and neck surgery and vertigo. ENT is the specialty that owns the inside of the nose as well as the outside of it, which is why a consultation with an ENT surgeon tends to cover the airway and the shape together rather than in two appointments.
He has taken further training at the Institut Portmann in Bordeaux, in otologic surgery, and at Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston. He is certified by the European Board in Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, and speaks Turkish, French, English and some Italian.

Operations and conditions
Drawn from the areas of interest Prof. Güven Güvenç states. Each one links to the guide that explains it: what the operation does, what recovery looks like and what to ask before you agree to it.
Operative photographs
Five noses operated on by Prof. Güven Güvenç, photographed on the table at the start and again at the end of the operation. They are published as supplied: cropped, but not retouched, graded or lightened.
What you are looking at, and what you are not
The second frame in each pair is the nose at the end of the operation, not the nose the patient lives with. Swelling and bruising follow the operation rather than precede it, most of the swelling settles over the first few months, and the shape is not final for around a year. Skin thickness, the starting anatomy and the reason for operating all differ between these patients and between them and you. What recovery actually looks like sets out the timeline these photographs sit at the very start of.
Asking Prof. Güven Güvenç a question
A message sent through this site reaches Prof. Güven Güvenç. Say what bothers you about your nose, whether you have had surgery before and whether you have trouble breathing through either side, and you will get a more useful first answer. It is a written reply rather than a medical consultation, and a consultation is still the thing that settles a plan. Send a question.
