About Prof. Dr. Yavuz Selim Yıldırım

Prof. Dr. Yavuz Selim Yıldırım is an ENT specialist and Head & Neck Surgeon at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital in Istanbul. His clinical work is paired with a long academic record in otorhinolaryngology.

Clinical Focus

His specialty areas are rhinoplasty and the broader treatment of ENT diseases, with airway and functional concerns sitting alongside aesthetic nose work.

Experience

Prof. Yıldırım has roughly 16 years of professional medical experience. After his 2005 graduation from Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, he completed his training in otorhinolaryngology and worked at Haseki Training and Research Hospital (2005–2010), Elbistan State Hospital (2010–2012), and Bezmialem Vakıf University (2012–2017), where he became Associate Professor in 2017. Since 2017 he has been serving at Hisar Intercontinental Hospital.

Patient Trust

For rhinoplasty patients who want a surgeon with a deep ENT background, Prof. Yıldırım's profile — Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, full professorship and observational training at Johns Hopkins, Harvard and Tufts — is unusually well-documented. Hisar Intercontinental provides the hospital infrastructure around that academic record.

What happens after you send a request

  1. You send a request through the form — this does not commit you to treatment.
  2. An XCuro coordinator contacts you to understand what you are looking for.
  3. You share the relevant medical details and photos for the clinic to review.
  4. The clinic's medical team assesses suitability and prepares a proposal.
  5. If you decide to go ahead, you plan the appointment and travel together.

Whether a procedure is suitable for you — and the technique, risks and likely results — can only be confirmed by an individual medical assessment.
