About Op. Dr. Cenk Teker
A surgeon's precision, a physician's patience — 25 years devoted to noses, sinuses and ears.
Op. Dr. Cenk Teker graduated from Marmara University Faculty of Medicine and completed his specialist training in ear, nose and throat surgery at the Bezm-i Âlem Valide Sultan Vakıf Gureba Training and Research Hospital — founded in 1845, one of Istanbul's oldest teaching hospitals. He has practiced as an ENT specialist since 2001.
The heart of his work is rhinoplasty. Over 25 years he has performed more than 5,000 nose operations, from first-time corrections to complex revision cases, guided by one conviction: a nose should suit the face it belongs to — and breathe as well as it looks.
Beyond the operating room, Dr. Teker lectured for two years at Nişantaşı University, helping train the next generation of physicians. He also served for more than ten years as the chief physician of a private hospital, leading its medical team and gaining rare experience in how good care is organized, not just delivered.
Today he sees patients at his own practice in Bakırköy, Istanbul — in Turkish, English, Arabic or French — and holds the Turkish Ministry of Health's Health Tourism Authorization Certificate for treating patients who travel from abroad. Alongside rhinoplasty, his surgical practice covers septoplasty, sinus surgery and ear surgery.

Natural touches, natural results
"Natural touches, natural results" is more than a slogan on this site — it has been Dr. Teker's working principle for years. A good operation, in his view, is one nobody can point to: a nose that suits the face, breathing that simply works, a patient who looks in the mirror and still sees themselves.
The second principle is honesty. Not every complaint needs surgery, and not every wish can be met responsibly. Dr. Teker tells you what an operation can achieve and what it cannot — before you decide, never after.
And because a nervous patient asks better questions in their own language, consultations are held in Turkish, English, Arabic or French.
