Mustafa Çakır

With a consultation that starts by mapping symptoms to internal nasal structures, Mustafa Çakır helps patients connect appearance and breathing—especially when chronic nasal blockage, asymmetry, or revision needs are involved. As a specialist at the clinic in Istanbul, he works across rhinology and ENT surgery, covering nose and sinus procedures, ear operations, pediatric ENT, and vertigo and balance care. For snoring and sleep apnea, the approach is built around realistic expectations and, when appropriate, objective sleep assessment through polysomnography in cooperation with a sleep center. For international patients, the clinic supports travel planning and provides a first online consultation with remote follow-up.

Clinical focus and techniques

His ENT evaluations combine detailed history-taking with targeted examinations, then move to procedure selection based on anatomy and functional goals.

• Closed rhinoplasty and open rhinoplasty, with open technique used for complex, asymmetric, or revision cases.
• Septal cartilage grafting for support and structural correction when needed.
• Ear cartilage graft and rib cartilage graft options for more complex rhinoplasty scenarios.
• Rhinoplasty planning that includes assessment of internal nasal structures responsible for breathing.
• Revision rhinoplasty after one or more previous rhinoplasty operations, aimed at restoring support and improving function.
• Septoplasty with possible same-session combination with endoscopic sinus surgery and/or turbinate reduction when turbinates, chronic sinusitis, or nasal polyps contribute to obstruction.
• Nasal endoscopy using a thin camera to assess mucosa, swelling, polyps, pus, and sinus drainage pathways.
• CT scan of the sinuses requested when chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or complicated infections are suspected.
• Endoscopic sinus surgery for sinus disease and chronic sinusitis.
• Sleep apnea and snoring surgical procedures, with polysomnography recommended in cooperation with a sleep center to measure severity objectively.
• Adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy for children and adults with ongoing throat problems, including frequent tonsillitis and obstructive symptoms.
• Otoplasty (prominent ear surgery) to reshape ears that stick out more than normal, with pre-op risk discussion and post-op protection guidance.
• Tympanoplasty to close eardrum perforations, prevent recurrent infections, and—when possible—improve hearing.
• Tympanostomy/ear tube placement, mentioned as sometimes combined with adenoidectomy for persistent middle ear fluid related to adenoid problems.
• BPPV repositioning maneuvers for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, using guided head and body movements to move displaced crystals back into the correct part of the inner ear.
• Vestibular rehabilitation exercises for vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis to support long-term balance adaptation.
