I'm writing this review two months after my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Ümit Hardal.
I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to search for the right rhinoplasty surgeon in Istanbul, amongst the seemingly endless choices, especially when considering a revision. That's why I'm sharing my experience with Dr. Ümit Hardal—to help others avoid the stress of finding the perfect doctor
Finding Dr. Hardal was pure luck. While researching doctors in Istanbul, his name popped up in a comment, and his Instagram profile immediately convinced me he was the right surgeon for me.
My previous rhinoplasty left me with a severely asymmetrical, overly projected, and feminine nose. As a Black man, living with this for two years was incredibly difficult and depressing. Dr. Hardal stood out because he displayed a deep understanding of human anatomy and tailored rhinoplasty to individual features. His Instagram showcased impressive masculine noses, which gave me hope.
I also have to shout out his assistant, Basak. She was incredibly supportive throughout the process. The surgery itself went smoothly and his team has been supportive every step of the way.
Two months later, I'm thrilled with the results. Dr. Hardal has transformed my nose into a natural, masculine feature that complements my face. The healing process has been very easy.
This surgery has had a profound impact on my mental health and confidence. I can't recommend Dr. Hardal highly enough. If you're considering rhinoplasty or a revision, especially as a man, I wholeheartedly encourage you to consult with him.
