ENT Specialist | Rhinoplasty & Facial Aesthetic Surgeon
An ENT foundation changes how rhinoplasty is planned. Add a female surgeon's perspective and a deep focus on male rhinoplasty — and you have a practice that thinks differently.
Dr. Nuran approaches each result the way she would want her own face treated — with sensitivity to femininity, subtlety, and what feels right, not just what looks corrected.
Male rhinoplasty demands its own logic: no over-rotation, no softening of character. Dr. Nuran is particularly focused on this — results that look powerful and permanent, not operated.
As a trained ENT surgeon, Dr. Nuran treats the nose as both a feature and an airway. Septoplasty, turbinate work, and rhinoplasty can be planned as one procedure.
Revision rhinoplasty requires a different mindset — scar tissue, altered anatomy, and a patient who has already been disappointed once. Dr. Nuran specialises in honest second opinions.

Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu completed her specialty training in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) and Head & Neck Surgery at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. With nearly 30 years of professional and surgical experience, she has been welcoming patients at her own private clinic for the past 16 years.
Her particular areas of interest include aesthetic and functional nose surgery, revision rhinoplasty, and male rhinoplasty. At the heart of her surgical approach lies a simple principle: rather than applying the same nose shape to everyone, she creates a natural-looking nose suited to each patient's facial structure and gender — one that is both beautiful and breathes freely.
Most rhinoplasty surgeons approach the nose as a cosmetic structure. An ENT specialist approaches it as anatomy — understanding how the septum, turbinates, and airway interact with the aesthetics of the result.
Dr. Nuran works with both male and female patients. For male rhinoplasty in particular, this anatomy-first thinking means a strong, unaltered character — a nose that looks like it was always there.

With Dr. Nuran
"I had my rhinoplasty done by Dr. Nuran, and I couldn't be happier. She was incredibly professional, talented and attentive throughout. The outcome exceeded my expectations and truly changed my life — I feel so much more confident now. What impressed me most was how smooth the recovery was: almost no swelling or bruising, which speaks volumes about her skill. My nose looks beautiful and natural, exactly what I hoped for."

Rhinoplasty
"I come from Germany and had my nose operated on by Dr. Nuran Erkalp a week ago. I'm very happy with my decision to have the operation in Turkey. The doctor and her team are very friendly and competent — the operation and the whole organisation went really well, and I was looked after very well at the hospital. I can now breathe much better than before. If I had to choose again, I would have her operate on me."

"Knowledge and experience are built up over time. For a patient, the doctor is everything — you first look at their manner, their style, their knowledge, and above all their warmth. Dr. Nuran has all of this and more: her professional knowledge is beyond excellent, and her energy and approach are perfect in every way. I'd go so far as to say she's among the very finest ENT surgeons in the world."

ENT patient
"My years-long inability to breathe was solved thanks to Dr. Nuran. I was so happy with the care from her and her team before, during and after surgery. She shaped my nose to suit my face and resolved my breathing problem at the same time. I'm absolutely delighted."

Rhinoplasty & breathing
"She performed a perfect rhinoplasty and deviation surgery, correcting my nasal passages like an architect. I hadn't realised I wasn't really breathing — thanks to her my oxygen levels rose and I made peace with life. My one condition was that the outside of my nose shouldn't change at all, and she kept it exactly as promised. She even stayed by my side until I came round from the anaesthesia. With gratitude, in every deep breath."

Rhinoplasty + Septoplasty
"Dr. Nuran is a true master. I'm someone who's wary of recommendations — especially in medicine — yet I recommend her to everyone without hesitation. She's been my doctor for years and has never left a complaint of mine uncured. A month ago I had deviation surgery and an endoscopy for sleep apnoea. In 57 years I've never met anyone so skilled, so dedicated and so full of energy. My breathing feels like childhood again, and I'm free of the sleep apnoea risk."

"I'm now past the first month after my operation and already have exactly the nose I wanted. Even though it's still slightly swollen, it suits my face beautifully. People can't believe I had surgery — it looks incredibly natural. Everyone at the clinic was attentive and so helpful. I'm very happy."

"I met Dr. Nuran through a friend, and the wait for my nose surgery was truly worth it — the result is beyond even my dreams. Most importantly, I never have any trouble breathing. Health matters just as much as aesthetics, and everything turned out perfect. Thank you, Doctor."

"On a friend's recommendation I chose Dr. Nuran Kalekoğlu. I had my surgery 2.5 months ago — I had both a breathing problem and a drooping nose I was unhappy with. I trusted her completely and everything went perfectly. She looks after her patients wonderfully and is always ready to help. Özlem was kind and helpful in every way too."

Rhinoplasty & breathing
"Thank you so much to Dr. Nuran and her team. I was very anxious before surgery, but I'm so grateful they showed me there was nothing to fear. Afterwards I had no pain and nothing that disrupted my daily life. It hasn't even been a month, and my nose already looks just the way I wanted. My advice to anxious patients like me: you can trust Dr. Nuran with your eyes closed."
