Septal Perforation (Hole in the Nasal Septum)
A septal perforation is a hole that forms in the septum, the structure that separates the two nasal cavities, and can lead to problems such as difficulty breathing, bleeding, or nasal dryness. Treatment depends on the size of the perforation and the symptoms, and may involve either surgical or medical methods.

What is a Septal Perforation (Hole in the Nasal Septum)?
A septal perforation is the formation of a hole or opening in the septum.
A septal perforation occurs when a hole or opening forms in the nasal septum, the thin wall that divides the nasal cavity into two. The septum is made of cartilage and bone and separates the two nostrils. When a perforation occurs, the airflow inside the nose, the moisture balance, and other functions can be negatively affected. This condition can lead to symptoms such as bleeding, congestion, dry nose, wheezing, and is often caused by trauma, surgical intervention, infections, or chemical irritants.
What Causes Septal Perforation?
- Trauma (e.g., nasal surgery or nasal injury)
- Chronic nasal congestion or infections
- Prolonged use of nasal sprays
- Cocaine use
- Autoimmune diseases (e.g., Wegener’s granulomatosis)
Trauma:
- Surgical Intervention: During nasal surgeries, especially septoplasty or rhinoplasty, damage can occur to the septum, leading to perforation.
- Nasal Injuries: Blows to the nose or accidents can cause the septum to perforate.
Infections:
- Chronic Infections: Repeated nasal infections can weaken the septum and lead to perforation.
- Systemic Infections: Infections like syphilis or tuberculosis can also damage the septum.
Chemical and Substance Use:
- Prolonged Use of Nasal Sprays: Long-term use of steroid-based nasal sprays can irritate the septum, leading to perforation.
Cocaine Use: Cocaine damages nasal tissues and increases the risk of septal perforation.
Autoimmune Diseases:
- Wegener’s Granulomatosis: This rare autoimmune disease can cause granulomas in the nose and perforation in the septum.
- Lupus and Sarcoidosis: These autoimmune diseases can also cause damage to the septum.
Irritation and Exposure:
Exposure to Chemicals: Prolonged exposure to chemical vapors or dust can irritate the septum and lead to perforation.
- Frequent Nose Picking: Repeatedly picking the nose can damage the septum.
Vascular Problems:
Poor Blood Flow: Insufficient blood flow to the septum can weaken the tissue and increase the risk of perforation.
These are the main factors that can trigger the development of septal perforation. If the cause is not properly identified and treated, the condition can progress and lead to serious complications.
What are the symptoms of septal perforation?
- Nosebleeds
- Nasal congestion
- Wheezing when breathing
- Dry nose
- Smell disorders
The symptoms of septal perforation may vary depending on the size and location of the perforation. Here are the common symptoms:
Nosebleeds:
- When a hole forms in the septum, the delicate blood vessels inside the nose may be damaged, leading to frequent nosebleeds.
Nasal Congestion:
- The perforation can affect airflow through the nose, leading to nasal congestion. This feeling may be more pronounced if the hole is large.
Wheezing when Breathing:
- Septal perforation can cause a wheezing sound when breathing. This sound is created due to the turbulence of air passing through the perforation.
Dry Nose and Crusting:
- Due to the imbalance in moisture levels inside the nose, a feeling of dryness can increase. This may lead to crusting and discomfort inside the nose.
Nasal Discharge or Foul Odor:
- The moisture imbalance and risk of infection caused by the perforation may lead to a bad odor or discharge from the nose.
Nasal Deformity:
- Large or advanced perforations may cause a deformity in the nose’s structure. This may appear as a collapse of the septum, leading to a collapse or distortion of the nasal bridge.
Smell Disorders:
- Septal perforation may lead to a reduced sense of smell or difficulty detecting odors.
Headaches and Facial Pain:
- Abnormal airflow and dryness inside the nose can affect the sinuses, leading to headaches or facial pain.
These symptoms can vary in intensity depending on the severity and location of the perforation. The symptoms caused by the perforation may impact a person’s quality of life and may require treatment.
How is septal perforation diagnosed?
The diagnosis can be made through physical examination and endoscopic evaluation.
Septal perforation is typically diagnosed by an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. The diagnostic process may include the following steps:
Patient History:
- The doctor gathers information about the patient’s symptoms, nasal trauma, previous nasal surgeries, substance use (e.g., cocaine), use of nasal sprays, or history of autoimmune diseases. This information is crucial to understand the possible causes of the perforation.
Physical Examination:
- The doctor may use a simple light source or a nasal speculum to check the inside of the nostrils for any holes in the septum. Even small perforations can often be detected through this basic examination.
Endoscopic Examination:
- For a more detailed evaluation, the doctor may use a nasal endoscope, which is a thin, lighted tube, to examine the inside of the nose. This method allows for a better view of the size, location, and condition of other areas of the septum.
Imaging Tests:
- Imaging techniques, such as a CT scan, may be used to pinpoint the exact location of the perforation or to examine other structural issues in the nose and sinuses. This is usually necessary for larger perforations or if surgical intervention is planned.
Laboratory Tests:
- If an autoimmune disease is suspected as the cause of the perforation, blood tests may be conducted. For example, the presence of a disease like Wegener’s granulomatosis can be detected through blood tests.
Biopsy:
- If a suspicious mass or abnormal tissue is found in the septum, the doctor may take a small biopsy. This sample is then examined in the lab to check for malignancy (cancer) or other serious conditions.
These steps help to accurately diagnose septal perforation and develop the most appropriate treatment plan.
Can Septal Perforation Be Treated?
Yes, septal perforation can be treated, but the treatment options depend on the size, location, cause, and the patient’s overall health. Small perforations are usually managed with symptomatic treatments, such as moisturizing sprays or saline solutions. Larger perforations may require surgical intervention. Treatment options for septal perforation include:
Symptomatic Treatment
- Moisturizing Sprays and Gels: To reduce dryness inside the nose, saline sprays, gels, or moisturizing creams can be used. These products help keep the nasal mucosa moist, alleviating dryness, crusting, and discomfort.
- Nasal Irrigation: Nasal irrigation with saline solutions can reduce crusting and the risk of infection inside the nose.
- Antibiotic Ointments: If there is a risk of infection, doctors may prescribe antibiotic ointments to be applied inside the nose.
Temporary Closure Options
- Septal Button: For small to medium-sized perforations, a temporary solution involves inserting a septal button made of silicone or plastic. This button physically covers the perforation, reducing symptoms.
Surgical Treatment
- Flap Surgery: Flaps of mucosa taken from both sides of the septum can be used to cover the perforation. This surgical method can be performed using different techniques, depending on the size and location of the perforation.
Treatment of Underlying Autoimmune or Systemic Conditions
- If the perforation is caused by an autoimmune disease or a systemic condition, treating the underlying illness may stop the progression of the perforation and relieve symptoms.
Follow-Up and Management
- If non-surgical treatment options are preferred, the perforation is managed with regular doctor visits and appropriate care. Post-surgical follow-up is important if surgical treatment has been performed.
The treatment for septal perforation is tailored based on the size of the perforation and how much it affects the patient’s quality of life. In some cases, small, asymptomatic perforations may not require treatment and are only monitored. However, if the symptoms negatively affect the quality of life, treatment options will be reviewed.
What Surgical Technique is Used to Treat Septal Perforation?
The surgical treatment of septal perforation can vary depending on the size, location, cause, and overall health of the patient. The goal of surgical treatment is to close the hole in the septum, improve nasal function, and alleviate symptoms. One of the most commonly used and particularly successful techniques for repairing large perforations is the bipedicle flap technique.
Flap Surgery
- Mucosal Flap: Flaps taken from the mucosa on both sides of the septum are used to close the perforation. These flaps are thin tissues taken from the nasal cavity. During the surgery, these tissues are placed over the perforation and sutured to close the hole.
- Bipedicle Flap Technique: For larger perforations, mucosal flaps are taken from both nostrils and used to close the perforation from both sides. This technique is preferred for larger perforations.
Combined Surgical Approach with Septoplasty
If the perforation is due to septal deviation, septoplasty, a surgical procedure to straighten the septum, can be performed along with the perforation repair. Septoplasty eliminates the pressure that caused the perforation and helps close the hole.
Combination Methods
- In some cases, different techniques such as flap surgery, graft placement, and septoplasty may be used together. These combinations are selected based on the size and severity of the perforation.
Postoperative Care
- After surgery, nasal packing or splints may be used to support the healing of the nasal cavity. These packing devices stabilize the septum and help control bleeding.
- To reduce the risk of infection and promote faster healing, antibiotic treatment and nasal care may be recommended after the procedure.
Risks and Success Rate
- Surgical treatment is usually successful, but the larger the perforation, the more difficult it may be to achieve a complete repair. In some cases, the perforation may not completely close or may reopen.
- Postoperative complications include infection, bleeding, nasal deformity, and, although rare, the risk of re-perforation.
The surgical treatment of septal perforation should be planned and carried out by an experienced ENT surgeon. The aim of surgical intervention is to relieve the patient’s symptoms and restore nasal function.
What are the complications of septal perforation?
- Persistent Nasal Congestion
- Ongoing Nosebleeds
- Nasal Deformities
- Nasal Collapse in Advanced Cases
If septal perforation is not treated or properly managed, various complications can develop. These complications may vary depending on the size, location, and underlying cause of the perforation. Here are the potential complications of septal perforation:
Ongoing Nosebleeds
- Septal perforation can expose the delicate blood vessels inside the nose, leading to frequent and recurrent nosebleeds. The bleeding may vary depending on the size of the perforation and the dryness of the nasal cavity.
Persistent Nasal Congestion
- The perforation can affect airflow through the nasal passages, leading to a constant feeling of nasal congestion. Larger perforations can make this symptom more pronounced.
Chronic Infections
- Disruption of the normal airflow and moisture balance inside the nose can make the nasal mucosa more vulnerable to chronic sinusitis and other upper respiratory infections. These infections can cause foul odor, discharge, and inflammation inside the nose.
Nasal Deformities
- Large or advanced perforations can lead to structural collapse of the nose. This may result in a collapse of the nasal bridge (saddle nose deformity) or loss of support at the nasal tip. These deformities can cause both aesthetic and functional problems.
Smell Disorders
- A hole in the septum can affect airflow inside the nose, which can impact the sense of smell. This can result in a reduction in the ability to smell (hyposmia) or a complete loss of smell (anosmia).
Dry Nasal Passages and Crusting
- The perforation can disturb the normal moisture balance of the nasal cavity, leading to chronic dryness and crusting. The crusts can cause discomfort and irritation inside the nose, which can increase the risk of bleeding.
Pain and Discomfort
- Depending on the size and location of the perforation, there may be a constant feeling of discomfort, tenderness, or pain in the nose. This is especially noticeable when the nasal tissues are dry or infected.
Psychosocial Effects
- Nasal deformities and chronic nasal congestion can negatively affect a person’s self-confidence and social life. Chronic symptoms can significantly reduce quality of life.
Headaches and Facial Pain
- The perforation can interfere with the function of the sinuses, leading to sinusitis, which may result in headaches or facial pain.
These complications depend on the severity of the septal perforation, and early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to preventing these issues. Timely treatment can prevent the development of these complications.
How does septal perforation affect quality of life?
Septal perforation can negatively impact quality of life in various ways. The effects depend on the size of the perforation, its location, and the severity of the symptoms it causes. Here are the main effects of septal perforation on quality of life:
Breathing Difficulties
- Septal perforation can disrupt airflow in the nasal passages, making breathing more difficult. Nasal congestion or wheezing can make it harder to breathe, especially during sleep or physical activity.
Chronic Nosebleeds
- Recurrent nosebleeds can disrupt daily activities and cause a persistent discomfort. This means the individual must be constantly cautious to prevent nosebleeds, negatively affecting quality of life.
Dry Nasal Passages and Crusting
- Dryness and crusting inside the nose can lead to ongoing discomfort and irritation. This may require frequent nasal cleaning, which can cause both physical and psychological distress.
Smell Disorders
- Septal perforation can reduce the sense of smell. A loss or decrease in the sense of smell can diminish the enjoyment of food and limit the ability to detect environmental hazards (such as gas leaks), which can affect quality of life.
Pain and Discomfort
- Constant discomfort, pain, or tenderness inside the nose can make daily activities more difficult. This pain becomes more pronounced if the nasal tissues are dry or infected and can make it harder for the person to concentrate.
Aesthetic and Psychosocial Effects
- Nasal deformities caused by septal perforation can negatively affect self-esteem. Visible deformities like a collapsed nasal bridge or a deformed nasal tip can lead to anxiety and stress in social and professional settings.
Sleep Disorders
- Breathing problems can reduce sleep quality. Difficulty breathing during sleep can lead to symptoms similar to sleep apnea, causing chronic fatigue, headaches, and general feelings of weakness.
Sinusitis and Headaches
- The perforation can disrupt sinus function, leading to chronic sinusitis. This can cause frequent headaches, facial pain, and overall discomfort.
Social and Occupational Effects
- Chronic nasal symptoms can make social interactions more difficult and affect job performance. Frequent nosebleeds or nasal congestion can be disruptive during meetings or social events.
General Health Effects
- Constant irritation and risk of infection inside the nose can affect overall health. Chronic infections may lead to broader health issues.
Septal perforation can become a condition that requires constant management in daily life. Therefore, if the symptoms significantly impact quality of life, treatment or proper management is recommended. Untreated perforations can cause these effects to worsen over time..
I had a tonsillectomy performed by our doctor, Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. The surgery went smoothly, and although it's said to be more difficult for adults, I recovered very quickly. I'm so glad I chose Mustafa.
Hello, they told me that my parotid gland needed to be removed. I went to so many doctors that I finally decided on Dr. Mustafa. I am glad I chose Dr. Mustafa. You do not need to look for a doctor, you can choose my doctor with peace of mind without any worries.
I had a nose surgery 9 months ago by Mustafa Deniz Hoca. Both he and his team are always in touch with you before and after the surgery and provide detailed answers to questions. I am very pleased with my nose in terms of aesthetic appearance and health. Thank you and your entire team for everything.
First of all, I would like to thank my instructor Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz for his efforts. I had a nose surgery about 4 months ago. Like everyone else, I had the opportunity to research and compare the videos taken by many people who had this surgery and the perspectives of experts in their field on nose surgeries. I am very happy that I made the right decision and had surgery with my instructor Mustafa. I sincerely recommend my instructor Mustafa to everyone who wants to breathe both aesthetically and healthily and has problems.
I had a nose surgery in February. They never failed to show interest from the moment I entered the clinic until the last moment. No one even understands that I had plastic surgery. Mr. Deniz is one of the best in his field. I recommend it to everyone.
I had a nose surgery 3.5 months ago. The surgery and recovery process went great. There are a few things you should pay attention to after the surgery, they don't affect your quality of life too much. The doctor makes you feel very comfortable about that because it's not as complicated as you think. Other than that, I can breathe easily now, which is the most important thing. Also, Assistant Ayşegül Hanım gets back to you directly at any time of the day, no matter how long it has been since the surgery, if you have any questions. I'm very happy that I chose the right doctor.
I met Dr. Deniz upon the recommendation of another patient. He performed my ear surgery approximately 6 months ago with the diagnosis of Cholestatum. His care and follow-up of his patient both before and after the surgery for 6 months is commendable. I would also like to thank Dr. Deniz for his confidence in his patient and his friendly approach. I am in a much better position after the surgery, both in terms of hearing and risk of infection. I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz and his team.
I went to my dear teacher Deniz because of my breathing difficulties. He and his team were very cheerful and caring. My surgery was very successful and our doctor Deniz and his team were always caring throughout the process. We definitely recommend them, they are very knowledgeable, you will never regret it.
I had been experiencing a constant runny nose for a while. I decided to go to a private ENT specialist and I took a very good step. My doctor told me I had vasomotor rhinitis, which I had never heard of before. They had always given me allergy medication and sent me there. Mustafa Deniz made me feel very comfortable with the nasal wash he recommended. I had been using allergy medication unnecessarily for so long. You can go with peace of mind 😊.
I had a nose surgery 6 months ago. I am very pleased with the result. Mr. Deniz is a successful doctor in his field. You can choose him with peace of mind.
1-I had a nose surgery, there was no pressure problem with the device that was attached, when the tampon was removed I could breathe 100% from both noses, now it is completely open 2-The girl had an ear surgery. She was constantly sick because of her ear and was using antibiotics. She also had hearing problems. A tube was inserted. She has not been sick since that day, we got over a few coughs without antibiotics for the first time. She could hear well even the day after the surgery. In the first measurements, it was said that half of her hearing problem was gone. Now we are waiting for the 3-month check-up. But we do not have any problems with hearing. Thank you very much
I had a nose surgery 6 months ago with my doctor Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. The pre- and post-operation was very comfortable. The operation was better than I thought. I received very positive comments from those around me. You can trust your doctor and his team with peace of mind. Thank you Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz.
About 10 months ago, Dr. Deniz performed my nose surgery. I wanted to wait a while to comment. First of all, it was a difficult surgery for me to decide, because I was very afraid of the surgery. I made my decision by considering the comments here. The surgery process went better than I expected. I had no pain or bruising, but I had a lot of swelling due to my nose skin. My nose has recently gotten rid of the swelling and settled down. I went there mostly for aesthetic purposes, but now I can breathe much better. I was very pleased with both Dr. Deniz's interest and sincerity, and the healthy and beautiful result we got. I think those who are undecided and those who have fears like me can trust Dr. Deniz with peace of mind.
I have been having serious difficulties breathing for a long time due to nasal congestion. My nasal passages were almost completely blocked. As a result of my detailed research, Prof. Dr. I had the opportunity to meet Mehmet Deniz Yılmaz. From the first examination, his professionalism, knowledge and sincere approach gave me great confidence. My surgery was extremely successful. The discomforts I experienced due to polyps have completely disappeared. I can breathe easily now. I cannot thank the doctor and his team enough. I would like to thank each and every one of them for their care and attention during this process.Prof. Dr. I recommend Mehmet Deniz Yılmaz and his team wholeheartedly.Thank you, dear Doctor. Thank you very much 🙏🏻
When it comes to the teacher, he is the best in Antalya. How many places have I been to, how many doctors have I seen, what have I suffered over the years? Many doctors in Ankara, Istanbul, Antalya, none of them could even provide relief. May God bless my teacher Mustafa. We found him on the ground while looking for him in the sky. I recommend him to everyone with Meniere's disease.
My wife had apnea and snoring problems. Before Mustafa, other doctors said that about 5 different surgeries would need to be performed. We were worried and searched for another doctor. Looking at the comments here, we trusted Mustafa Hodja. Thank God, he said about 3 months ago that only closed nose surgery would be enough, and over time, the apnea would go away on its own. The surgery lasted 2.5 hours. My wife was discharged in the evening. There was no bruise or swelling on her face. She recovered within a week and returned to work. Meanwhile, his snoring decreased significantly and his apnea disappeared. Well done to our teacher. He is a very professional doctor and we recommend him to everyone.
My 2.5-year-old daughter could not breathe and her sleep was interrupted due to her adenoid problem. It was resolved in about 1 hour. Even right after the surgery, he started breathing very easily. Thank you so much, I'm glad to have you
We would like to thank our doctor and thank Ms. Ayşegül for her support before and after the surgery. I wish you a healthy day.
My teacher Mustafa came across it while researching on the internet. I had a unilateral parotid tumor, the other doctors I went to scared me so much, that's why I was avoiding surgery for two years. I read the comments of my teacher Mustafa and the fact that he operated on a patient like me made me more comfortable. I had surgery on March 7. I am very glad that I met my teacher Mustafa and came across him. May God bless him, I recommend him to everyone.
As a result of the hearing test performed at a Private Hospital I went to, I was told that I had hearing loss due to arthritis in my ear and that I needed to use a hearing aid. When I asked if there was another treatment for this, the answer given was that the only solution was hearing aids. This result did not satisfy me, so I wanted to research the best ENT Doctor in Antalya on the internet. The first name I came across was Prof. Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz was my teacher. As a result of our preliminary meeting with him and professional hearing tests, he stated that I would regain my hearing with the Otosclerosis Surgery he would perform without using a device. As a result of the trust given by my doctor, I decided to have surgery. My surgery went very well, my quality of life improved because I can hear very well now. I would like to thank my esteemed teacher and his valuable team for their interest and concern during this period. Definitely benefit from my valuable teacher's experiences, you will never regret it...
With hearing loss due to vertigo, I went to Mustafa Bey's clinic as a result of his advice and research on the internet. As a result of the treatment, I regained my hearing. Another hospital said that you will get a hearing aid and there is nothing to do after that. I would like to thank him very much from here. The staff is excellent, they are all smiling and kind people. I'm glad I came across this place. If you have such problems, be sure to go to Mr. Mustafa and his team without wasting your time looking for other places.
I'm Ferah Emirdar. One side of my nostril was blocked, and I was breathing heavily and exhibiting aggressive behavior. Sinusitis, which I'd suffered from for years, was a separate issue. When I went for a checkup, I made my decision and had the surgery. It was quite successful, not as I'd feared. After removing the tampon, my first thought was, "Is this how you breathe?" I became calmer, my sleep improved, and I fell asleep quickly. Because I slept well, I had no more nerves, and my sinusitis and nasal congestion disappeared. I thank your team and your patience throughout this process. I'm also happy to have met you.
I went to Dr. Mustafa Deniz on the recommendation of a friend, and after my examination, I underwent two parotid tumor surgeries, one month apart. Both surgeries were successful. Dr. Mustafa Deniz's pre- and post-operative instructions put my mind at ease each time. Thanks to Dr. Mustafa's confidence and the intense attention of his assistants, I had a very comfortable surgical experience. Thank you to Dr. Mustafa and his friendly team.
I have been suffering from vertigo and dizziness for 9 years. I reached a point where I could not do my work at home. I went to every doctor I could find. I finally went to my doctor, Mustafa Deniz. We started my treatment. I was very pleased with his care and attention. Now I am very well. I have been suffering from this dizziness for years. God bless you. I feel like I was reborn. I am so glad I have you, doctor. I am so glad I met you.
I am 34 years old. I have been suffering from eardrum rupture and hearing loss since I was 10 years old. I wanted to have surgery. I went to many doctors. None of them were open to surgery. They said that my ears could not be fixed with surgery. They recommended hearing aids. I met Mustafa upon the advice of a friend. He performed a very successful surgery. My hearing improved and I got rid of the infection. Thank you very much for everything.
I am pleased with my doctor Cook Cook. He is a very experienced doctor in his field. His team is also knowledgeable. You should choose Mr. Mustafa without hesitation, I don't know any other doctor. I recommend him to everyone. He is a doctor who works hard, listens to his patients and understands what they want.
My quality of life has truly improved; I can breathe with ease. I'd like to thank my doctor and his team.
We met with Mr. Mustafa Deniz for my son's adenoid surgery. He made me feel very comfortable with his interest and explanations. Our doctor is really a very sincere person. Our surgery was very successful, thank God. I had surgery a few months ago. I had a cyst in my throat. He explained my surgery process and my situation to me with the same interest and concern. My surgery went very well, thank God. Mr. Mustafa Deniz is successful in his job, valuable and a good person. The people who work with them are very valuable and good people. I'm glad I met you :)
I had a nose surgery, I am in my 4th month, I am very happy, thank you to my teacher Deniz.
I found Mustafa as a result of my research and went to him with the complaint of the Eustachian tube not being ventilated and hearing loss. I had had ear surgery many times before, so he looked at my nose and said that there was a curvature in the nasal bone and there was a serious devaluation. If we correct it, it would benefit the ear and help me breathe in the future. We decided to have the surgery. Now I am breathing air and my hearing has improved a little. He said I will be better. May God bless him. His communication and friendliness were very good. I am so glad to have you, doctor.
Hello, I have been suffering from Vertigo for three years. Upon recommendation, I contacted our esteemed professor Mustafa Deniz. Thanks to the maneuvers and examinations he performed and the medications he prescribed, I have not had any dizziness for 4 months. I would like to thank our esteemed professor and his teammates. I am so glad you exist. Best regards.
If you are reading this article right now, you are in search of information like us. For this reason, I will tell you our story in some detail so that maybe it will be of some help to you. My daughter is 3 years old, we take her to our pediatrician regularly and when necessary. Our adventure started with nasal congestion. I am talking about a congestion that does not go away even though we constantly open it. Then, mouth opening and snoring. When we asked about this to our pediatrician, he directed us to Mustafa Hodja. After the examination of the size of the adenoid. He said it was 90%. We heard the sentence we didn't want: 'There must be surgery.' You'll be right, as a mother, I didn't want to have a child at a young age undergo surgery. I even shared the situation with my pediatrician. He said, 'If Mustafa Hodja says, get it done, he doesn't say it easily. We made an appointment immediately and two days later, my baby had the surgery. The only thing that was difficult about this surgery was waiting outside while your child was inside. Apart from that, everything was very planned and professional. The evening we came home, my little one stopped snoring. He slept and we were incredibly surprised by this situation. We did not experience any negative situation. I would like to express our endless gratitude to Mustafa Hodja once again. Ms. Ayşegül, who did the programming, guided us very well. I am glad our paths crossed. Sleep without snoring, may the children be happy❤️
I went to the doctor with a complaint of symptom perforation. He said that he could easily close it after the examination. I had my surgery in April 2024. He also performed deviation and nose tip aesthetics. My priority was, of course, to repair the perforation. Thank God, the hole closed and I also had a beautiful nose. My recovery process is still ongoing, it was a long and difficult surgery, but I can breathe healthy. During this process, Ms. Ayşegül was always just a phone call away. I also thank him very much for his interest.
I applied to my doctor with a complaint of septal perforation. I had surgery. It has been 5 months since my surgery and I am so relieved. I thank my doctor and his team very much.
Septal perforation Due to a nose surgery I had years ago, there were 2 huge holes and no cartilage was left in my nose. I could breathe very hard because all the cartilage in my nose had been worn away. I did a lot of research and consulted many doctors. They said that it was a very risky surgery and we could not do it. I tried very hard and researched a lot. Finally, I met Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. I found his clinic and went to be examined. He said that it was a risky surgery, but he said he could do it. In fact, I had some fears, but after the examination, he made me overcome that fear. I had plastic surgery, it took about 11 hours, it took 4 months, I got perfect results, the holes in my nose are closed, with the cartilage taken from the rib, my nose is more beautiful than before, I can breathe very easily, thank you very much to my teacher Mustafa, he is a very good teacher, I think he is the best in this field.
Thanks to our doctor, I had a hole repaired in my nose in a very nice and painless way and regained my health very quickly. I would like to thank him again.
We came from Van to Antalya for my teacher Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz, he was very friendly and helped us a lot, he took care of us one on one. My surgery was very difficult. I was diagnosed with septal perforation (hole in the nose). Many doctors we went to said that this was difficult and there were only a few people who did it and referred us to my teacher Mustafa Deniz. He took very good care of me and performed my surgery successfully. Thank you very much to him and his team. I'm glad to have you.
Dear Sir, First of all, I would like to thank you. At first we used it for 5-6 hours, then I used it for 1.2 hours, no problem, thank you.
I took my mother, who was treated for vertigo in various hospitals for almost two months but could not get any results. As a result of detailed examination and tests performed by audiologists, Mustafa determined that she had balance nerve inflammation. The treatment, which was expected to last 4 weeks, was completed in almost 2 weeks with expert audiologists. Now her condition is very good and she returned to her normal life. Thank you to everyone who contributed 🙏🏻
First of all, I would like to express my endless gratitude to my marine instructor and all his staff. After a long wandering, I found my marine instructor upon his recommendation. He solved my dizziness problem that disrupted the entire routine of my life. May God bless you. REGARDS.
My daughter had adenoid surgery at the age of 6. Thank God, she is very well now. We chose my doctor because we trusted his knowledge and experience and we were not wrong. I recommend him as a doctor.
May God bless my doctor. He performed a septum perforation (closure of a hole in the nose) surgery in January 2023. Now I can breathe easily thanks to him. No matter how many doctors I went to, they said that I should get used to living with a hole in my nose. He is one of the rare doctors who tries and succeeds in this surgery. He performed the 9-hour surgery extremely successfully. I cannot pray and thank him enough.
I'm a patient who underwent radical mastoidectomy. For those who don't know, it's a serious ear condition. You need to see a competent doctor. I'm so glad I found my doctor. His knowledge, approach to treatment, and kindness to patients are exceptional. While most doctors are afraid to clean my ear, he gave me the good news that I'll be able to swim after many years. As a patient, I felt safe from the very first moment. You can trust him with peace of mind. Thank goodness you exist.
I was examined by my doctor as a physician. I had been torn between neurology and ENT for months. My doctor sincerely answered my questions, both through a clinical examination and advanced tests. From the moment you enter his clinic, you can tell he's knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I recommend him to everyone. Thank you.
My paths crossed with our doctor regarding the mucocele in my brother's mouth. We're in Istanbul, and my brother works in Antalya. When you're abroad and experiencing these problems, the need for a doctor you can trust is so profound that it's indescribable. First, we met with Ms. Ayşegül. She was so sincere and understanding that it was a relief to us. Dr. Mustafa successfully performed my brother's surgery. I wholeheartedly thank Dr. Mustafa and Ms. Ayşegül for all their support throughout the process. The presence of such doctors never leaves us helpless when it comes to these diseases. May God bless you all. 🙏
Dear Professor Mustafa, For many years, I've had to have my ears cleaned every 5-6 weeks. I've consulted many doctors in Europe, but no one has been able to offer me an effective solution.However, you explained my condition and showed me the solutions. I sincerely thank you for the support you've provided me in this matter.
On August 26, 2024, I was examined at Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz's clinic for complaints of tinnitus and balance problems. A definitive diagnosis hadn't been made. With the doctor's diagnosis and the treatment we began, my tinnitus has decreased to 20% as of today. I'm very happy to see that I'm moving toward a solution on the fourth day of the two-month treatment. I owe them a debt of gratitude. I'm grateful for the comfort of sleeping.
I went to Deniz Bey for vertigo. Thanks to Ms. Deliverye's tests, I was diagnosed correctly and I no longer have dizziness. Thank God, I can continue my life from where I left off, with the medicine given by Mr. Deniz and the exercise treatment by Ms. Deliverye. I am grateful to both of them.
I have been suffering from tinnitus for 35 years. Until I met Mustafa Denizi, I was diagnosed on March 27. Thanks to the medicine he gave me, I felt so relieved in a short time of 3 months that I almost lost my tinnitus and my dizziness. I would like to thank Hacamat and his staff.
My complaint, which started with earache, continued with severe dizziness and nausea and vomiting. This process took 40 days, I went to more than 10 doctors during this time and could not get a correct diagnosis. Various maneuvers and wrong treatments were applied, thinking it was either an infection or a crystal shift, and my recovery time was extended, but I didn't feel well or stand up even for a day. Mr. M.Deniz diagnosed Balance Nerve Inflammation (vestibular neuritis) with examination techniques that no one else had done. I returned to my old life through the rehabilitation process. I would like to thank each and every one of you, the Doctor, the Audiologist, the Secretary and the dear people who put up with me during my 7 months of pregnancy, who worked hard for my recovery, and who stood by me until the end with their knowledge, equipment and sincerity, even though I never believed that I could recover in the sessions. 😇
