About Prof. Dr. Erkan Soylu
Prof. Dr. Erkan Soylu is an ENT, Head and Neck Surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist based at Medipol Mega University Hospital in Istanbul. He is part of the medical-faculty staff at Medipol University, with an academic profile built around nose and airway surgery.
Clinical Focus
He focuses on rhinoplasty (functional and aesthetic), septoplasty and sleep apnea surgery. His ENT background means his rhinoplasty practice is anchored in airway function as well as appearance, which is important for revision and post-traumatic cases.
Experience
Dr. Soylu has roughly 23 years of medical experience following his 2002 graduation from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa. After his residency at Haseki Training and Research Hospital and clinical postings in Doğubeyazıt and Elazığ, he joined Medipol University Hospital in 2012. He became Associate Professor in 2016 and Professor in 2022.
Patient Trust
International patients seeking rhinoplasty often choose Dr. Soylu for the depth of his ENT background and the academic standing at Medipol University. For functional cases — breathing problems, post-trauma, revision — this profile carries more weight than pure aesthetic-only credentials.
