02One focus
One surgeon, one focus: the nose — seen from the inside out.
Most clinics sell price and packages. Dr. Pelen offers something they structurally cannot — an ear-nose-throat surgeon who treats the nose as both an airway and a centrepiece.
Breath + beauty
The ENT origin is the headline, not the footnote. A surgeon who shapes how the nose looks and how it works — septum, airway and aesthetics in one plan.
Super-specialist
Not a general aesthetics clinic. Since 2017, only the nose. Repetition and a calm, conservative point of view — the opposite of assembly-line tourism.
Nothing hidden
Verifiable credentials, a named accredited hospital, real before/after and a real patient journey. Here, transparency is the point.

About Dr. Pelen
Op. Dr. G. Arda Pelen
Dr. Pelen has practised as a private physician since 2013. In 2017 he opened his own clinic at Metroport Busidence in Bahçelievler, İstanbul, where he continues to focus on rhinoplasty.
Throughout both his residency and his specialist training, a particular interest in rhinoplasty led him to attend many seminars, meetings and courses — and, on his own initiative, to assist in the operating room alongside experienced surgeons in the field. By following the surgical literature and visual sources closely, he keeps his practice aligned with current techniques and methods.
An ENT surgeon trains first in
-
Airway & breathing
How air actually moves through your nose — assessed, not assumed.
-
The septum
The internal wall that supports both how the nose works and how it holds its shape.
-
Internal structure
The framework that cosmetic-only approaches often leave untouched.
-
Form, planned on top
Aesthetics designed onto a nose that already works — never the other way round.
Function first, then form.
Why an ENT specialist
Why choose an ENT-trained surgeon for rhinoplasty?
Your nose is not only a feature on your face — it is how you breathe.
As an ear-nose-throat surgeon, Dr. Pelen trained first in the function of the nose: the septum, the airway, the structures most cosmetic-only approaches leave untouched. That foundation is why much of the world's leading facial surgery grows from this same specialty.
Here, the way your nose looks and the way it works are planned together — never traded against each other.

Great experience — my face now looks more symmetrical
I had my surgery in May 2023. I was very impressed with the overall experience. I chose Dr. Pelen based on his Instagram and reviews online — it also felt very safe that he operated at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital. On the day of the operation I met with Dr. Pelen to discuss my wants. He was honest with his thoughts. I'm super happy with the results and finally don't feel the need to hide my nose.

I researched for about 2 years to find the most suitable doctor for my rhinoplasty, and I came across Dr. Arda Pelen. His work is amazing. He listened to all my concerns, was very honest about the outcome, and advised what he thought suitable for my face. It's been one month and I'm already so happy — nicely lifted and curved.

After a failed previous nose surgery I had serious breathing problems. With Dr. Pelen's revision rhinoplasty I got a result I love — and my breathing was completely fixed. A doctor you can trust with even the most difficult cases.

Dr. Arda performed my rhinoplasty eight years ago — natural, aesthetic results and real care throughout. Years later we chose him for my sister too, without hesitation. A doctor you can trust completely.

07Questions
The things people ask first.
What makes an ENT surgeon different for rhinoplasty?+
An ear-nose-throat surgeon trains first in how the nose functions — the septum, the airway, the internal structures. That means your breathing is assessed and planned alongside the shape, in one operation, rather than treated as an afterthought.
How long do I need to stay in İstanbul?+
Plan for around seven nights. Surgery takes roughly two hours, and the cast is usually removed on day six or seven — just before you travel home. You arrange your own hotel and travel; if you ask, the team is glad to recommend trusted options near the clinic.
When will I look and feel normal again?+
Most visible swelling settles within a few weeks, and you can return to everyday life soon after the cast comes off. The finer result continues to refine over many months — we will always be honest about that timeline.
Can you correct a previous nose surgery?+
Yes — revision rhinoplasty is a core part of the practice. It is more delicate work, so it begins with a careful assessment of both your breathing and the previous result before any plan is agreed.
How do I get a price and a first opinion?+
Send a few photos through the form below or on WhatsApp. You will receive an honest written first opinion and an indicative “from” price, with no deposit and no obligation.
