Prof. Dr. Cengiz Açıkel

A friend of mine had surgery with Cengiz Açıkel for gynecomastia. She was so pleased with the result that she spoke at length about him, praising him highly. Trusting her comments, I also had my rhinoplasty surgery with Cengiz Açıkel in 2016. I was truly very happy with the result. Years passed, and this time my wife needed a nose surgery. Frankly, we didn't even consider another doctor. On January 3rd, my wife also had her rhinoplasty surgery with Cengiz Açıkel. During this process, we were once again impressed by Cengiz Açıkel's approach. My wife had both a breathing problem (concha) and a deformity in the shape of her nose. Despite this, Cengiz Açıkel didn't immediately plan surgery. Since he is an expert in rhinoplasty, he wanted to clarify whether the concha issue was superficial or a deeper, more advanced problem. Therefore, he first referred us to an ENT specialist, requesting a detailed evaluation and examination. He prioritized a proper assessment of the breathing aspect before addressing the aesthetic side. To put it simply, he's not a doctor who focuses solely on money and tries to operate on everyone who comes in. He specifically avoids unnecessary interventions, only proceeding with the process if there's a real need and the right conditions are met. He's disciplined, meticulous, and extremely dedicated to his work. His military background makes this very clear. He arrives on surgery wearing a jacket, with flowers in his pocket… These are seemingly small details that make the patient feel valued. When you wake up from anesthesia, he's the first person you see. Seeing Professor Cenhiz first in that dazed state makes you feel good. You can only understand what that feeling is like by experiencing it. Because when you open your eyes in that environment, he'll be the only person you recognize. When I asked him about it afterwards, he said he deliberately acted that way. He understands the patient's psychology very well, he doesn't sell false hopes, he speaks realistically. He clearly states what will happen. His ethical and moral stance is truly excellent. The surgeries were performed at Acıbadem Ataşehir Hospital. The hospital is already top-notch, but I especially want to mention the nurses' attentiveness. Constant monitoring after surgery, constant ice application… You literally never have ice on your face. The care is very compassionate and caring. We see people around us whose faces swell up and bruise like drums after surgery, but neither my surgery nor my wife's surgery had any serious swelling or bruising. I think this is largely due to the post-operative care. And another important detail for me: parking. I have a fear of parking. I never had any problems with parking, either going to his office or at the hospital. There's always a place to park nearby, so there's no extra stress. In short; if you're looking for a doctor who inspires confidence both professionally and personally, who is disciplined and realistic, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Cengiz Açıkel. I was satisfied, my wife was satisfied, and those I know who went to him were also satisfied. Of course, these are our experiences and what we've been through. As someone who has gone through this process twice, researched it online, and experienced it firsthand, I've tried to answer all your questions. I hope this review has been helpful for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope everything has been, or will be, good for you.

One of the rare doctors who truly knows their job and offers a lasting solution for a psychologically challenging situation. Throughout the process, they patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions. The surgery itself wasn't tiring; everything was explained in detail and in writing beforehand. A doctor who closely follows developments, inspires confidence, and is genuinely caring. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I had skin graft surgery with Professor Cengiz. So far, the process is going very well. Professor Cengiz and his assistant, Ms. Aleyna, have been very attentive. I am very pleased. I recommend them to everyone.

We were very pleased with his interest, care and experience and the perfect touches he made to my daughter's life. His perfectionist approach meets perfect workmanship.
