A Turkish plastic surgeon is giving patients extreme nose jobs that make them look like a character from Dr Seuss’ ‘Whoville’.
Before and after videos on social media show patients’ noses dramatically reduced in size and ending with an upturned tip.
The surgeon behind the trend is Dr Ferda Erol, based in Izmir, Turkey.
On TikTok Her rhinoplasty videos have racked up millions of views with commenters confused and shocked at the results asking if it’s a ‘joke’.
Although Dr. Errol seems pleased with the results, Dr. Anthony Yuna US-based plastic surgeon worries.
Sharing his reaction to Dr Erol’s surgeries with his 5.29 million YouTube subscribers, he admitted he “didn’t get it”.
Reacting to a nose job posted on Dr Erol’s Instagram page @opdrferdaeroDr. Youn says our woman is already “beautiful” and although she has a “small dorsum” – a small bump on the bridge of the nose – she only needed minor tweaks.
“I think overall her nose looks great and if she came to see me for a nose job I’d probably shave off a bit of that bump and that’s probably why,” she said.
But in her post-surgery nose clip, the patient’s nose turns up much more than what is considered the “ideal” nasal angle for a woman.
Sharing his reaction to Dr Erol’s surgeries with his 5.29 million YouTube subscribers, plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn (pictured) admitted he “didn’t get it”.
Dr Anthony joked that the strange nose jobs make patients look like a character straight out of Dr Seuss’ ‘Whoville’
Dr. Youn explains that the angle between the nose and the upper lip is called the “nasolabial angle,” in women a perfectly shaped nose is believed to be between 95 and 105 degrees.
But in this case of patients the angle after surgery is much larger at 123 degrees.
Judging another video on Dr Erol’s TikTok which sees a man undergoing a dramatic nose job, Dr Yun again said that the angle of his nose far exceeded the ideal standard of beauty.
He said: “The ideal male nasal angle is about 90 degrees and this guy right after surgery is about 120 degrees.”
The surgeon admitted that often surgeons make a “signature on the nose” which means many of their results “look the same”.
He added that if Dr Erol’s patients are happy with their nose jobs, that is the most important thing.
However, Dr Youn questioned the authenticity of some of her videos.
A video shows a bulbous nose in pre-surgery, but Dr. Yoon suggests it’s “misleading” and suspects the nose has been “soaked with a ton of anesthetic.”

A video shows a bulbous nose in pre-surgery, but Dr Youn suggests this is “misleading” and suspects the nose has been “soaked with a ton of anesthetic”.
He explains that anesthetic injections can “plump” the nose before surgery.
Dr Yun added: “Usually if you put a lot of pressure on it at the beginning of the operation, you can force most of that fluid out.
“Well, this patient doesn’t seem to have a really huge wide nose to begin with, even though she’s made it seem like it is.”
Although Dr. Youn admitted that he has stopped doing nose jobs, when he did he said he chose to do minor modifications.
She stressed that it’s vital to research your surgeon before having plastic surgery and urged people to look at before and after photos and videos to make sure the results match what you’re looking for.
