Yunus Kaplan Private Clinic

Yunus Kaplan Private Clinic is a specialized Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) and facial aesthetics facility. Established in 2016, the clinic is located in the Şişli district of Istanbul. It operates as a private, single-specialty center focused on nasal surgery.

Accreditations and Achievements

The clinic is authorized by the Turkish Ministry of Health as an International Health Tourism Center. This certification confirms the facility meets official standards for treating foreign patients. Dr. Yunus Kaplan is a member of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (EAFPS). He also holds memberships in the Turkish Facial Plastic Surgery Society and the Head and Neck Surgery Society.

Facial Aesthetics and Rhinoplasty

The clinic specializes in aesthetic and functional nasal surgery. Dr. Yunus Kaplan has 20 years of experience in Otorhinolaryngology. He performs several types of nose reshaping procedures:

• Open and closed rhinoplasty
• Revision rhinoplasty for secondary corrections
• Ethnic and male-specific rhinoplasty
• Preservation rhinoplasty to protect natural tissue
• Tipplasty for nasal tip refinement
• Dorsal hump reduction for humped noses

Revision rhinoplasty at the clinic shows satisfaction rates between 70% and 80%. Surgeons use the Piezo method for these procedures. This ultrasonic technology shapes bone precisely without damaging soft tissue. Surgical hump removal typically takes 3–4 hours. Patients stay one night in the hospital, then recover locally for seven days.

ENT Care and Functional Surgery

The Otorhinolaryngology department addresses mechanical obstructions that affect breathing. Specialists treat conditions including septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy. They also manage nasal valve stenosis and chronic mucosal swelling. The surgical approach preserves the functional mucosal surface. This prevents empty nose syndrome – a complication from excessive tissue removal.

The clinic provides medical and surgical management for several ENT conditions:

• Chronic rhinosinusitis lasting over 12 weeks
• Nasal polyps and adenoids
• Hearing loss and ear infections
• Balance disorders and tinnitus
• Difficulty swallowing and hoarseness

Specialists offer rhinoplasty for HIV-positive patients, addressing complex surgical needs. For sinus and polyp treatments, the clinic uses Coblation probes and microdebrider devices. These tools remove tissue precisely with minimal bleeding.

Non-Surgical Nasal Correction

Patients with minor irregularities may choose Liquid Rhinoplasty. This non-surgical method uses injectable dermal fillers to camouflage depressions or asymmetries. The clinic uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm and Restylane. They also offer Radiesse, a calcium hydroxyapatite filler. These treatments provide visual changes without altering the internal nasal structure.

Preparation for injectable treatments requires a review of current medications. Patients must stop aspirin and herbal supplements before the procedure. This reduces the risk of bruising at the injection site.

Technologies and Diagnostic Tools

The clinic uses nasal endoscopy as its primary diagnostic tool. This involves a thin, flexible instrument with a high-definition camera. It lets the physician examine areas not visible to the naked eye. For complex sinus surgeries, the team uses surgical navigation systems and angled endoscopes. These technologies improve accuracy when operating near delicate structures.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats patients from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Support begins with online consultations and treatment planning before arrival. The same doctor manages every stage of care. International patients receive detailed recovery guidance, including head elevation and cold compress protocols. Treatment plans include hospital stay durations and hotel recovery timelines for travel planning.
