Aesthetic Surgery
Surgical procedures for natural-looking, lasting results tailored to your face.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to improve the aesthetic appearance and/or function of the nose. It covers many interventions such as removing a dorsal hump, reshaping the tip, narrowing or widening the nostrils, and adjusting length.
Prof. Dr. Yalçınkaya plans an individualized operation for every patient based on facial proportions and personal expectations. Whenever possible, the closed technique, which leaves no external scarring, is preferred.
- Removing a dorsal hump
- Raising / lowering / reshaping the nasal tip
- Narrowing the nostrils
- Raising the nasal bridge
- Revision (secondary) rhinoplasty
Closed Technique Rhinoplasty
In closed technique rhinoplasty, all incisions remain inside the nostrils, leaving no external scarring. This method causes less swelling and a shorter recovery period.
This technique, in which Prof. Dr. Yalçınkaya specializes, requires an experienced surgeon but delivers results equal to or better than the open technique when applied to the right case.
- No external scarring
- Less swelling and faster recovery
- Return to social life within 2 days
- Addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns
Prominent Ear Surgery (Otoplasty)
"Prominent ears," where the ears sit too far from the head, can be permanently corrected with otoplasty. It can be performed on both adults and school-age children.
The surgery is usually performed through a small incision behind the ear, reshaping the ear cartilage. Recovery is short and the results are permanent.
- Ideal age for children: 5-7 (after ear development is complete)
- Can be performed at any age in adults
- Local or general anesthesia
- Return to daily life within 1 week
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Sagging, bags and excess skin on the upper or lower eyelids can be corrected with blepharoplasty. Functional blepharoplasty is applied both for aesthetic concerns and when eyelid sagging obstructs vision.
As an ENT and facial aesthetic surgery specialist, Prof. Dr. Yalçınkaya can plan this surgery in combination with rhinoplasty or otoplasty when appropriate.
- Upper eyelid sagging and excess skin removal
- Lower eyelid bag and dark circle correction
- Functional blepharoplasty (vision obstruction)
- Short procedure under local anesthesia
Nasal Health Treatments
Comprehensive treatments from breathing difficulties to sinusitis, from allergies to nasal tissue overgrowth.
Deviated Septum (Septoplasty)
A deviated septum, caused by the nasal partition shifting off the midline, can lead to breathing difficulty, sleep apnea and snoring.
Septoplasty does not change the external appearance of the nose; only the internal cartilage and bone are corrected. It can be combined with rhinoplasty in the same session.
- Significantly improves breathing
- Reduces recurrent sinusitis and nosebleeds
- Improves sleep quality
- Can be performed simultaneously with rhinoplasty
Sinusitis Treatment & Sinus Surgery
When chronic sinusitis doesn't respond to antibiotic treatment or is caused by polyps, surgical intervention may be required. Endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) clears nasal polyps and restores sinus drainage.
- Endoscopic nasal polyp surgery
- Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)
- Surgical solution for chronic sinusitis
- Rhinitis and nasal polyposis treatments
Snoring Treatment & Surgery
Snoring is not just a sleep disturbance — it's an important medical issue tied to partners' wellbeing, airway structure and overall health. Surgical or non-surgical options are offered depending on the cause.
- Correcting internal nasal anatomy (septoplasty, turbinate reduction)
- Soft palate surgery (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty)
- Adenoid and tonsil surgery
- Sleep apnea evaluation
Ear Diseases & Surgery
Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment from ear infections to hearing loss, from tinnitus to otosclerosis.
Ear Tubes & Chronic Otitis
Middle ear fluid buildup and chronic ear infections, common especially in children, can be treated with ear tube placement. In chronic middle ear infection (chronic otitis), tympanoplasty may be performed to close the tympanic membrane.
- Ear tube (ventilation tube) placement in children
- Chronic otitis surgery (tympanoplasty)
- Eardrum repair
- Cholesteatoma surgery
Tinnitus & Dizziness
Tinnitus and vertigo (dizziness) are important symptoms that should be evaluated by an ENT specialist. Medical or surgical treatment is planned based on the underlying cause.
- Tinnitus evaluation and medical treatment
- Vestibular disorders (benign positional vertigo)
- Meniere's disease management
- Hearing tests (audiometry, tympanometry)
Throat, Voice & Pediatric ENT
Comprehensive treatments from tonsils and adenoids to vocal cord issues and pediatric ENT surgeries.
Tonsil & Adenoid Surgery
Tonsillectomy is recommended for children with recurrent tonsillitis or excessive tonsil growth. Enlarged adenoids behind the nose negatively affect breathing and hearing, and are treated with adenoidectomy.
- Tonsillectomy for recurrent acute tonsillitis
- Adenoidectomy
- Combined tonsil + adenoid surgery
- Can also be performed in adults
Vocal Cord Disorders
Hoarseness, vocal fatigue and changes in voice quality can originate from the vocal cords. Microlaryngoscopy is used to identify vocal cord nodules, polyps or cysts, which can be surgically removed when necessary.
- Vocal cord nodule and polyp surgery
- Reinke's edema treatment
- Functional voice disorder evaluation
