Erkan Soylu

I am Erkan Soylu, I was born in Elazığ/Türkiye in 1977. I am married and the father of three children. After completing my primary and secondary education in Elazığ, the city where I was born, I won Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. After completing my medical faculty education in Istanbul, I won Haseki Training and Research Hospital otolaryngology department and completed my specialization in Istanbul between 2002-2007 and became an otolaryngologist. I worked in Ağrı/Doğubeyazıt State Hospital between 2008-2010 as an otolaryngologist. Then I returned to Istanbul to continue my education. I started to work as an assistant professor at Medipol University Hospital, a private university.  After completing many national and international studies between 2012-2017,  I was appointed as an associate professor at the same university. After this stage, I focused only on nasal health and aesthetics. I have conducted many studies on rhinoplasty.  In 2022, I was appointed to the ENT department of Medipol University as a professor. I still continue my work here. I organize Rhinoplasty Fellowship programs in our university. To date, we have accepted and trained fellows from all over the world. And I organise “NoseCraft Live Surgery Course“ on rhinoplasty, every year.

Nose Enlargement: Problems And Management
Erkan Soylu, H. Baki Yilmaz, Ozan Altuntaş

When it comes to rhinoplasty, nose reduction usually comes to mind, however, in recent years, patients with over reduced noses have been applying to us. A nose that is small compared to the patient's face looks worse than slightly large noses. Therefore, shrinked or innate small noses need to be extended to a size that is compatible with the face. We perform a significant number of nose lengthening and enlargement surgeries in our clinic. In nose enlargement surgeries, the skeleton needs to be extended, the mucosa and skin need to sufficiently cover the nose internally and externally. Nose lengthening usually involves more problems than reduction surgeries. With this video presentation, we want to share our methods for nose enlargement and overcoming the problems that arise with professionals.

A Chanllenge In Rhinoplasty: High Projected And Bulbous Tip
Erkan Soylu, Rui Xavier

Increasing the tip projection and rotation in rhinoplasty is a frequently performed and well-known topic. However, when it comes to a high projection and also a bulbous tip structure, it is difficult to correct this pathology and this issue is one of the insufficiently clarified challenges of rhinoplasty. In these kinds of cases, the patient already has a high and wide nasal tip. Since deprojection is a maneuver that widens the nasal tip and base, it becomes difficult to manage the nasal tip, which is already wide at the beginning. Therefore, it is one of the challenges of rhinoplasty. We would like to share with the participants how we manage such noses in the light of our experiences and current literature with case presentations.

Augmentation Rhinoplasty In Middle Eastern Noses; How To Achieve An Ideal Profile Projection And Shape.
Erkan Soylu, Habiba Sultan Almaskari, Rui Xavier

Rhinoplasty surgery for Arabic noses showed an increased demand, especially in the Middle East. Most Arabic noses do not need augmentation rhinoplasty as they mostly have good projection.

Most Arabic noses have excellent projection, but when we look at the profile view, some patients have some irregularity in this view, which may be corrected with augmentation rhinoplasty, either complete or segmental augmentation, aiming at improving cosmetic appearance. However, some cases with significant Nasal trauma or post-nasal surgery that resulted in saddle deformity also need correction, varying in size and thickness depending on the type of saddle deformity.

The Novel Traction‑Suturing Technique In Correction Of Caudal End Deviation Of The Nasal Septum
Erkan Soylu, Rui Xavier

Background Caudal end correction is one of the main challenges during septoplasty that needs extra steps and skills. This

complex area affects the shape of the nose. Moreover, the caudal end represents the medial boundary of the internal nasal

valve. Thus, any deviation may disturb this critical area causing nasal obstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the novel

traction-suture technique to correct septal caudal end deviation and its postoperative impact.

Study design This prospective case-series study.

Settings It was held in a tertiary referral university institute between January 2019 to February 2022.

Methods We included 95 cases who suffered from nasal obstruction and a cosmetic problem because of mild or moderate

caudal end deviation. Under general anesthesia, the caudal end was corrected by the novel traction-suturing technique

(TST). To evaluate the surgical outcomes and patients' related quality of life, we used two validated questionnaires; the Nasal

Obstruction Symptom Evaluation and the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation before the surgery and 1 year after the surgery.

Results NOSE and ROE questionnaires showed statistically significant improvements after the surgery (P value was < 0.001).

Complications occurred in seven patients (7.3%), all of which were minor complications.

Conclusions Traction-suturing technique (TST) improved nasal breathing and patients’ satisfaction with their nasal configuration.

Traction-suturing is a simple short maneuver that junior doctors can easily learn without distinct complications

or recurrence.

Extreme Revisions
Erkan Soylu, Özcan Çakmak, Ismet Emrah Emre

Rhinoplasty surgery has been increasingly performed in recent years and is among the most commonly performed surgeries today. As a result of such a high number of rhinoplasty surgeries, complications and problems have also increased at a similar rate and revision surgeries have become important. The main limitations in revision rhinoplasty are mucosa and skin. Problems such as serious mucosa and skin losses, skin collapses due to infection and abscesses, nostril over resections, severe retractions and serious deformities due to skin necrosis are considered under the title of extreme revisions. Almost half of the rhinoplasties we perform in our clinic are revision cases. We have significant experience with such extreme revisions. We would like to share our experiences with the participants with case examples.

Reconstruction Of Nose Framework
Erkan Soylu, Oguzhan Oguz, Unnamed user, tamer erdem

The nose framework is an important structure that carries the nose, gives the nose its shape and provides breathing properly to pass through it. It is important for nasal surgeries to be performed it with appropriate strength and regularity. One of the most frequent and important reasons for revisions of nasal surgeries is an insufficiently strong and unbalanced nose framework. The reason for important pathologies such as nostril asymmetries, pinching deformity, polly beak deformity, saddle nose deformity, and nasal valve collapse that we frequently see in revision cases is that the nose framework does not have sufficient strength and regularity. In almost all cases opened for revision, there is a need to correct the nose skeleton. Therefore, in revision surgeries, the most important stage of achieving aesthetic and functional progress is to reconstruct the nose framework. In this presentation, we would like to convey our approach and experience on this subject to the participants with both surgery videos and animation videos of our techniques, some of which have been published in international journals.

Septal Extension Grafts In Rhinoplasty: Classification, Techniques, And Clinical Applications
Burak Ulkumen, Erkan Soylu

Septal extension grafts play a pivotal role in controlling nasal tip projection and rotation in rhinoplasty. Achieving ideal nasal tip positioning is essential for facial harmony and patient satisfaction. This can be accomplished by balancing nasal length, projection, and rotation. Septal extension grafts, typically harvested from the patient’s own septal cartilage, offer a reliable method for extending the caudal septum and reinforcing nasal tip support. They are commonly preferred due to their structural strength and versatility. This panel will explore the various types of septal extension grafts, their design options, and indications. Practical considerations, including patient selection, surgical technique, and complications, will also be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on integrating functional and aesthetic outcomes through evidence-based practices. Participants will gain insight into optimizing nasal tip outcomes using different graft configurations in diverse clinical scenarios.
