Hi Everyone, I've waited over 2 years before giving this review and I would like everyone to know, including the doctor, that I am morally compelled to share my experience so that no one else makes the same mistake -- including the doctor. I had a slightly shifted septum which was my reason for getting septo/rhinoplasty. The doctor communicated to me that in order to straighten my septum my tip would have to be modified. At the time, I did not realise the risk this presented aesthetically. Essentially, the doctor cut out my existing cartilage from the tip and reconstructed a new columella. While this did, temporarily, suceed in straightening my nose ever so slightly, the tip of my nose now has flared out nostrils, with jagged appearance, and a substantially more bulbous and flat tip. It appears the pitch of my nose has also collapsed slightly. So, that's all to say my nose is uglier now, and it looked better before. Not only that, the septum shifted back to where it was before. I am now considering revision rhinoplasty to rectify all of these aspects but now knowing the possible complications I may just be out of reach of help -- especially now that the tip of my nose is structurally compromised. The ethical thing for this doctor to have done would be to say "your nose is fine, you don't need surgery and you shouldn't get it". Instead my appearance has been altered for the worse permanently. To anyone who might be reading this, unless you have serious complications with your nose and think it is extremely ugly, do not get rhinoplasty surgery, you could make things a lot worse as was the case for me in this experience. Even now, my nostrils get stuck together which never happened before. The sad truth is as time went by, I realised more and more through pictures how much I didn't like my nose. A lot of the blame is on me for even considering something as stupid as, quite frankly, unnecessary surgery but the rest and principal amount of blame falls on the doctor, who did not advise me responsibly, nor give me a better nose than the one I came in with -- quite the opposite. Life lessons everyone. Proceed with caution and take great care. Best wishes. Edit in response: I do not deny that you have photos of me seeming apparently pleased; however, I was coping and disillusioned. As early as my return to Spain, photos quickly revealed I had a much uglier tip than prior to the surgery. Whatever emotion I showed or did not show that day is irrelevant; the results speak for themselves and I am resoundingly unhappy with how my nose looks compared to before. I am not sure that the modifications you had proposed would have mitigated this, perhaps making my tip even worse. My suggestion to you is, instead of saying something to the effect of "we have to modify your tip in order to straighten your septum" say something more direct like "the modification of your tip will likely result in you having an uglier nose than the one you currently have, to straighten the septum you sacrifice the aesthetic of the tip". This is a much more direct and accurate way of speaking that could have rightfully prevented me from getting surgery. I am glad that you're expressing you would have been open to dialogue, but I am not sure what the intention of further discourse is? The review is accurate in this case, it doesn't need to reflect on your larger body of work. But for myself, my nose looks a lot worse, and my nose also does not work better.

I had an operation on my nose 15 years ago and I was not very satisfied. Years later, Dr. I met Kadir. The self-confidence he gave me to have a nose surgery again affected me a lot. I have witnessed such a professional and successful doctor in his own business bringing me back to life. After a very successful surgery, I can say that I am now more attached to life and myself. Dr. I am very happy to meet Kadir and his team. Thank you for everything, Mr. Dr. Kadir.

I had a rhinoplasty just a week ago, and I am extremely happy with the results. The procedure was done by Dr. Abdul Kadir, and I must say he is not only highly skilled but also one of the most humble and kind professionals we've met. His expertise was clear from the beginning, and the outcome speaks for itself — natural, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for. Dr. Abdul Kadir never rushed any appointment and always treated us with respect and sincerity. We are so grateful for the wonderful experience and would highly recommend Dr. Abdul Kadir to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
