Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to a meeting where I will share over 30 years of expertise in the field of rhinoplasty. The primary objectives of this meeting are to emphasize the critical importance of thorough patient evaluation and strategic surgical planning—elements that I believe are paramount to achieving successful outcomes, often overshadowing the specific surgical techniques applied. Using different approaches, similar results can be achieved. I have noted that some educators who teach rhinoplasty mainly focus on the surgical technique and apply the same surgical methods for every case. In my opinion, the surgery must be planned differently for each patient according to existing deformities and unique features of the face.
In this meeting, we will particularly focus on how to plan the surgery, which techniques should be used based on individual patient needs, potential postoperative complications aligned with different patient groups, where mistakes can be made, and strategies to mitigate undesirable outcomes. This meeting is a great opportunity to learn the foundational elements of rhinoplasty for beginners. We will also demonstrate the correction of difficult primary and secondary deformities, addressing all aspects of the procedure comprehensively. The final day of the meeting is dedicated to presentations and talks. There will be a Q&A session at the end of the lectures.
Moreover, several esteemed local exhibitors will be present in the meeting area, offering high-quality rhinoplasty instruments at competitive prices.
I would like to state that this meeting is a non-profit event and we are not organizing it as a business. Our only objective is to share our knowledge with you. That’s why we have kept the registration fees as low as possible to reach out to more young colleagues. All participants will also receive complimentary edited surgical videos, showcasing the techniques of myself, Dr. Çakır and Dr. Coskun.
May is a great time to enjoy my beautiful city, Istanbul. Although the meeting will be from morning until 6 PM, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the city in the evenings.
I look forward to seeing you at my meeting from May 2-4, 2025.
