About Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan
Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan read medicine at Akdeniz University School of Medicine between 2007 and 2013, including an exchange year at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, and completed her residency in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Antalya Research and Training Hospital between 2016 and 2021.
Before that she spent two years, from 2014 to 2016, in ear, nose and throat and head and neck surgery residency training at the same hospital. Rhinoplasty is performed by surgeons from both of those specialties, and a route that runs through each of them is worth knowing about before a consultation.
Her stated areas of interest are rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, facelift, breast surgery, abdominoplasty, body contouring and facial reshaping surgery. She has also completed an observership at the Lavender Clinic in Hanoi focused on eyelid and nose surgery, and is a member of ISAPS, the Turkish Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Society and the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Association.

Operations and conditions
Drawn from the areas of interest Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan 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 Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan, photographed before the operation and again after it had healed. They are published as supplied: cropped, but not retouched, graded or lightened.
What you are looking at, and what is not stated
These are healed results rather than photographs taken on the operating table, which makes them the more useful thing to look at and leaves one question open: how long after the operation the second frame was taken has not been stated, and that is the first thing worth knowing about any before and after. A nose at three months is not the nose at a year. Skin thickness, the starting anatomy and the reason for operating all differ between these patients and between them and you. How to read a before and after photograph sets out what a pair can and cannot establish.
Asking Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan a question
A message sent through this site reaches Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan. 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.
