Véronique’s Journey Begins

Véronique, a 63-year-old from France, had long been conscious of her dark circles and wanted to rejuvenate her facial contours. She felt a mix of anticipation and nervousness about undergoing surgery, especially in a foreign country.

"I decided to tackle my dark circles and reshape my face with blepharoplasty," she shared, her voice reflecting both hope and vulnerability. She wanted to feel confident again — not just in photos, but in every glance in the mirror.

Contacting Bookimed marked the first step in turning her anxiety into action. From the initial inquiry to detailed guidance on the procedure, she felt supported every step of the way.

I had a septorhinoplasty with Dr Ergin Er at Istanbul aesthetics plastic surgery centre, and had an incredible experience!! Everyone was incredibly supportive and helpful. Elviira, my Bookimed coordinator, was amazing at answering any questions I had (which was a lot!) and making sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. I was checked up on after my visit and also when I returned after a few weeks, with full end-to-end support. I had a smooth transition to Yasin, my medical manager, who was flawless at arranging travel and all logistics and also incredibly helpful with aftercare instructions. I did not have to worry or take care of anything myself. The hospital was clean, modern and comfortable and made sure I was ok at all times. The staff were incredibly attentive and more than happy to help answer any questions I had and made sure I didn’t feel nervous going in. My husband who stayed with me throughout was also well taken care of (given meals and bedding to stay next to me overnight), which was hugely appreciated. My surgeon, Dr Ergin Er, was very professional and reassuring- I’ve previously had a septoplasty in the UK which he needed to correct as well as performing the rhinoplasty as we had planned. There were no hidden or extra costs and I’m finally able to breathe clearly (like I was supposed to when I had surgery in London). He clearly communicated realistic expectations and what would suit my face I’m currently almost a month postop and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! He has done the most incredible job and it is better than I could’ve hoped for I can’t wait to see what it looks like as it heals further but he’s truly turned my biggest insecurity into my new favourite feature! The after-care was fantastic and the recovery process was very easy. All the staff at the hospital were incredible and took such great care of me which I couldn’t be more thankful for. Overall, I had an amazing experience and i’m so pleased with how it’s turned out. I was fully taken care of from the first message to now. Originally I was a bit nervous about travelling abroad for surgery and wasn’t sure what to expect but this whole process has been so easy and smooth that I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to others. Everyone was so supportive and great at calming my nerves and reassuring me throughout every step of the way. I couldn’t be more thankful to my surgeon and the rest of the team for the amazing work they did.

The Surgery Experience

"Check out my before! Now, watch this recovery process."

Arriving in Istanbul, she was welcomed warmly and reassured at every stage. During consultations, she expressed her hopes for subtle yet meaningful results — to look refreshed without losing her natural features.

Post-surgery, the first days were a mix of discomfort, curiosity, and excitement, each glance in the mirror revealing gradual changes.
