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..
A friendly, caring, and highly skilled physician. Despite having visited many doctors before, I hadn't received a diagnosis. Following detailed tests and examinations, I was diagnosed with early-stage Meniere's disease. I have been taking the prescribed medication regularly for three months and can now resume my daily life much more comfortably. Furthermore, he always responds to our messages sincerely and quickly. My treatment process is still ongoing. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for his care and attention.
* “Thanks to my doctor's care and experience, I had a very smooth process. My rhinoplasty result turned out exactly as I wanted.” * “I achieved a natural and aesthetic result. Thank you for the care, attention, and friendly service.”
I cannot thank Professor Mustafa Deniz enough for quickly resolving my problem. For three months, I had seen countless ENT doctors, and I suffered from an extreme sore throat. Three times, my surgery in another department was postponed due to my sore throat and difficulty swallowing. When my sore throat became severe, I would go to the emergency room out of desperation. Even though they gave me painkillers for temporary relief, the problem persisted for days afterward. Not being able to have surgery, the difficulty swallowing, and the sore throat had completely exhausted me. After a day of intense pain, I decided that things wouldn't be like this anymore. After researching online, I'm so glad I went to Professor Mustafa. I'm so glad I avoided going to so many different ENT doctors and failing to find a solution. May God bless him; I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a solution like me.
I'm so glad I met Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz; my vertigo attacks ended thanks to his treatment. Thank you, esteemed doctor.
Our doctor's friendly and warm approach put us at ease before the examination; he was practical and solution-oriented, and we recovered quickly. Thank you to him.
I would like to thank my teacher Mustafa very much. He cured me of my vertigo, which I had been struggling with for years, in just 3 months. Thank you again for your efforts.
I spent two years going from hospital to hospital but couldn't find a solution. I found healing here. Thank you very much, doctor.
Last August, I went to see my doctor for pressure in my ears and dizziness. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine. After using the prescribed medication, my symptoms decreased by 99%. I cannot thank Dr. Mustafa and his team enough. Furthermore, their prompt responses to my questions via WhatsApp during this period are proof of how seriously they take their work. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.
Hello, I went to see Dr. Deniz three months ago because of my vertigo, and I'm so glad I did. I'd been to so many doctors before, but they couldn't diagnose me. I tried various medications, but nothing helped. I was going to the emergency room every two days for IV fluids. While researching on Google, I found out Dr. Deniz had a clinic specializing in vertigo, and based on the reviews, I made an appointment and went. He diagnosed me with vestibular vertigo, and I've been taking medication for three months now. Thank God, I'm feeling much better. May God bless Dr. Deniz and his team. Thank you.
My wife had chronic allergies that caused swelling in her nasal passages and difficulty breathing. She coughed a lot because she couldn't breathe properly. We did a lot of research and heard that Dr. Mustafa was experienced in this field. Thankfully, her breathing improved and her cough disappeared after the turbinate surgery. You can definitely choose him. We are so glad we chose you, Doctor. Thank you for your expertise and hard work.
We met Dr. Deniz because of my mother's vertigo attacks. Her vertigo had become chronic; for two years, she had been experiencing prolonged attacks almost every two months, accompanied by persistent balance problems, making her life difficult. Dr. Deniz and his team first identified the underlying cause and trigger of the vertigo and began treatment accordingly. For the first time, the vertigo attack lasted this short, and the balance problems that had persisted for two years completely disappeared. Dr. Deniz is already excellent at his job, but his audiologist colleagues are also among the best in their field. If you have a complaint like vertigo, you can confidently entrust yourself to Dr. Deniz and his team.
I have been living with Meniere's disease for 2 years. I experience buzzing and ringing in my right ear, dizziness, and hearing loss... I previously consulted two professors. Both gave the same diagnosis. They said there is no cure for this disease and that I have to live with it. Through a friend, I met Professor Deniz. He said the opposite, that the attacks of this disease can be slowed down or stopped. He performed a series of tests in his clinic and started medication. My treatment has been ongoing for 3.5 months, and my attacks have decreased. I no longer constantly feel dizzy. I thank him and his team very much 😇 I wish everyone healthy days.
Many thanks to my dear doctor. I was in critical condition, barely able to stand, and with his accurate diagnosis, he got me back on my feet. I've completed my 6th month of treatment and I feel like I've been reborn. I realize what I've been going through for so many years. My endless thanks to the healthcare team and my doctor.
I have been suffering from Vertigo Meniere for 5 years. I went to all the doctors but couldn't find a cure. Then I went to Dr. Deniz Yılmaz. After the injection treatment in my ear, I regained my health. May God bless Dr. Deniz. I thank Dr. Deniz and recommend him to everyone.
I would like to thank my esteemed doctor very much. Despite being a chronic heart patient, he dispelled all my fears during the operation process. I am very happy with my nose now 🙂
So great Doctor! My little girl had Orta Otitis with drainage and perforation, we had treatment in Side, two different doctors, one first in Devlet Hastanesi, second good Doctor in Akdeniz Hastanesi. But they were good in general treatment. Our treatment wasn’t ordinary, because the drainage didn’t stop for 14 days. Previous doctors said “Don’t worry, treatment works”. Drainage is just the rest of the infection. We waited and waited and nothing changed. When we came to Professor Dr Mustafa Deniz, he saw at first sight that only antibiotic injections will help and in addition wrote some drops. Two days later drainage stopped. He also made great cleaning of the ear. He definitely knows how to work with children and with worrying parents😅😅 Thank you 🙏 Dr. Mustafa, Elinize sağlık!
There is no way to repay the effort that Professor Deniz put into my treatment; he is a truly great doctor. Thanks to him, I was cured of my vertigo, a problem that 10 other doctors couldn't solve. Professor, I'm so glad you exist; I can't thank you enough. In my opinion, he is one of the unparalleled doctors in Turkey. May God keep you with us; thank you very much.
I had vertigo for 20 years. I came to see Dr. Deniz a year ago. I'm much better now; before, I couldn't even go out alone. Now I can do everything on my own. I want to thank him and audiologist Simge for their help. You can go to them with peace of mind.
Professor Mustafa Deniz, thanks to you, my nose surgery went much better than I expected. I had surgery due to swelling of the nasal turbinates (conchae). I can breathe very comfortably now and I clearly feel the change. Your detailed and clear answers to all my questions throughout the process made me feel very comfortable. Thank you very much for your attention, effort, and reassuring approach; I'm so glad I chose you.
I consider it a great stroke of luck to have met a doctor like Professor Mustafa, given his knowledge and perspective on our illness. His efforts and the confidence he instilled in us have brought us immense joy and healing. Thank you very much.
My 7-year-old son had an upper respiratory tract problem two years ago. Despite taking him to different pediatricians, we couldn't find a complete solution. The problem kept recurring. Then we consulted Dr. Deniz, who provided a permanent treatment. After the treatment, the problem did not recur. We are very grateful for his care and attention.
We would like to thank Mr. Mustafa very much. We couldn't find a solution for our sore throat, but with the correct diagnosis and treatment during the first examination, we achieved results in a week.
Hello, after going from doctor to doctor without receiving a proper diagnosis, I met Professor Mustafa about a year ago, and after being diagnosed with Vertigo, my treatment began. In the end, I regained my health. First of all, I would like to express my endless gratitude to Professor Mustafa and his valuable team for understanding and listening to me, for being by my side throughout this process, and for restoring my health. I wish everyone healthy days.
I underwent rhinoplasty surgery to correct the bone structure and external appearance of my nose. I can only say that our doctor's knowledge, skill, care, and experience were excellent. The politeness, courtesy, attentiveness, and guidance of the clinic staff were truly wonderful. Thank you all so much for all the procedures performed.
I had been experiencing hearing loss for a long time, and I knew I needed surgery. I consulted many doctors but couldn't make a decision. Dr. Deniz answered all my questions one by one, providing very clear and reassuring information about both the surgical process and the improvement in my hearing. My surgery went wonderfully, and my hearing has improved significantly. I can hear very well now, and I will have surgery on my other ear in three months. I would like to thank him and his team for everything.
I had an extremely unbearable ringing in my left ear that kept me awake at night. I went to doctors many times, and they all said there was no solution and I had to learn to live with it. I found the solution with Dr. Deniz. Thanks to Dr. Deniz and his team, the ringing in my ear has now reached a level where it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't even notice it unless I focus on it. They gave me invaluable information on how to manage it, and we overcame this process together. I thank them endlessly.
My tinnitus had started to affect my daily life. After the examinations, I experienced significant relief with the right guidance and treatment. I would like to thank my doctor and his team very much 🙏🏼
For years, I couldn't smell anything due to polyps in my nose and had to breathe through my mouth constantly. Thanks to the polyp surgery I had at this clinic, I feel like I've been reborn. The surgery itself was very comfortable, and they were very attentive during the post-operative checkups. Now I can breathe much more easily, and my sense of taste and smell has returned. I owe a debt of gratitude to the doctor and the entire team for their meticulous work and friendly demeanor.
I came here because of a long-standing complaint about nasal polyps. From the initial examination, the care and detailed tests I received reassured me greatly. The doctor patiently explained every stage of the surgery process and what to expect afterwards in great detail. All my questions were answered. I will arrange my schedule and have the surgery as soon as possible. I would like to thank the entire team for their professional approach and the confidence they instilled in me.
For five years, I suffered from persistent tinnitus that ruined my quality of life. I had tried everything, but everything changed after meeting Dr. Deniz and her team. They managed the process with such meticulousness and professionalism that my tinnitus is now almost nonexistent. It no longer bothers me, and I can sleep peacefully again. I cannot thank Dr. Deniz and her friendly team enough. I recommend them to anyone who feels helpless like me.
My tonsil surgery went smoothly. All the details were explained before the surgery, leaving me with no questions. My recovery process has been easier than I expected. Thank you for the care and professionalism 🙏🏼
I went to the clinic because of my breathing problem. Dr. Mustafa examined the inside of my nose with a camera. He said I needed surgery because my nasal septum was deviated. He explained the surgical procedure, and since I wasn't happy with the shape of my nose, he created a design based on my expectations and breathing problems. I had already done my research before going, and after the consultation, I was sure. I got my surgery date. I would like to thank Dr. Mustafa and his team.
He made a very clear diagnosis and provided detailed information about my illness. He planned my treatment with proper guidance, without prescribing unnecessary medication. He is truly an expert in his field.
They are very attentive and highly successful in their work; you can choose them with complete peace of mind.
My son has had fluid buildup in his ears since he was little, and he had tubes inserted three times at different ages and hospitals. He also had a deviated septum. One of the tubes in his ear had fallen out, while the other remained. We had both his nose surgery and ear tube placement done by our doctor. The surgery went very well; his nose is much better both aesthetically and medically. The healing process in his ear is also being monitored. We are very pleased with the result, with our doctor and his team's care. Both my son and we are very happy with the outcome. We are so glad our paths crossed with our doctor...
I had a nasal valve surgery last summer and my breathing improved a lot ever since! Even though the cold still triggers my breathing problems, it is way easier now than a year ago. If I could do it again, I’d just like to learn more about the operation beforehand (initial decision stage was a bit of a rush for me) but the rest of the process has been very smooth so far. Thank you for everything!!
My paths crossed with Dr. Deniz because of a vocal cord polyp. My indecision before seeing him cost me 8 months. The examination and decision to operate took less than 8 minutes ☺️ I am so grateful to you for repairing my hoarse voice and restoring my former voice. Thank you, Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz 🙏
My daughter had hearing problems. She underwent many surgeries, but we always ended up back where we started. The doctor said that she has a permanent tube and that the surgery would be easy. I would like to thank him for his care and attention from beginning to end.
My wife has otosclerosis, commonly known as ear calcification, and I've been searching for doctors online and through social media. Besides Professor Mustafa Deniz, no other doctor gave me and my wife the confidence we needed. Because of my wife's ear problem, we had otosclerosis surgery with Professor Deniz. They were very attentive, from the general examination to the hearing test before the surgery. He truly deserves his professor title. May God bless him a thousand times over. Greetings from Ayvalık. Thank you very much.
Hello, I underwent a difficult mastoidectomy, a surgery that many hospitals told me not to have because nothing would change if I did. The surgery lasted 6 hours, and I was able to resume my normal life within 5 days. My recovery process was wonderful. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz, Ms. Ayşegül, and the rest of the team for their kind, tolerant, and friendly welcome, and their understanding and courteous approach in every aspect. They deserve not 5, but 10 stars. I believe everyone should get to know this team.
I highly recommend him. Professor Mustafa is very attentive and caring. I've been to many clinics before, but I found the solution with Professor Mustafa.
Dear Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz and his lovely assistant, Ms. Ayşegül, I sincerely thank you for the trust and warmth you showed me during this process. When I first heard about vocal cord polyps, I was terrified of another doctor, but thanks to your and your team's calm and friendly approach, I felt safe. You explained everything so normally and compassionately that I entered the surgery with courage, despite my fear. Afterwards, thanks to Ms. Ayşegül's care, your kindness, and your follow-up, I will remember this event not as traumatic, but with positive feelings. Thank you so much to you and your team 🙏🙏
Dr Yilmaz is a very good surgeon. I had surgery for a deviated nasal bone and turbinate reduction. I can breathe comfortably now. I would like to thank him and his team very much.
Following my wife's complaint that she couldn't hear, I went to several ENT doctors, who said there was no problem. I went to Dr. Deniz on recommendation, and he cleaned my ears, saying I had earwax. Afterwards, a hearing test was performed. He said that due to my age, there was some hearing loss and suggested another hearing test in six months. If my hearing loss worsened, he said he could recommend a hearing aid. Thank you so much for your care and attention, doctor. Your efforts are appreciated.
I consulted Dr. Deniz about my smell problem, and after a month of treatment, I started to smell things I couldn't smell before. I am very pleased with his knowledge and approach. Thank you, doctor. Regards...
Following a recommendation, I brought my mother to Professor Dr. Mustafa Deniz Yılmaz. After the examination, her ear surgery went very well, and her hearing has improved now. We thank Professor Mustafa and his assistants for their efforts; we are so glad you exist.
I had persistent complaints that hadn't gone away for a long time. I was being treated with temporary solutions. I went to Dr. Deniz and with the treatment he applied, my complaints were permanently resolved. I recommend him to everyone. Many thanks to Dr. Deniz and his wonderful team 🙏
Dr. Deniz performed my son's surgery 3 years ago. We were very pleased. We thank him for his efforts. We also extend our thanks to him and his team for their friendly demeanor and attentiveness...
