Simon • Tip rhinoplasty Poland
May 13, 2026
Verified review.
The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted
The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted. It’s a great feeling. My goal was a more defined tip, and that's precisely what the surgeon delivered using an open approach. The whole process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely caring. The most difficult part of recovery so far is just having to sleep upright, which is temporary. A huge bonus is that I am breathing perfectly through my nose already. I am so grateful for the surgeon's skill and the clear communication from the team.

I can already see that the tip looks natural, which makes me very happy
My biggest worry was that my nose would look unnatural, but I can already see that the tip looks natural, which makes me very happy. The recovery process itself isn’t easy: my nose is completely blocked, and there’s still severe swelling on the bridge, so the final result isn’t visible yet. But the main thing is that the noticeable bump that was bothering me has been removed. The surgeon and the clinic staff provided excellent support at every stage. For me, it was the right choice.
Everything was great)

It's a relief to say they feel completely normal and comfortable
My biggest concern before my upper and lower eyelid surgery was how my eyes would actually feel afterwards, especially when blinking. It's a relief to say they feel completely normal and comfortable. The whole process has been so straightforward. The surgeon opted for a traditional incision and removed fat, and the results are already taking shape even as I'm still healing. Everyone was wonderful. The staff and the clinic provided a very reassuring atmosphere from start to finish. Based on my experience, I would definitely return to this clinic for any future needs.
Everything about my experience was outstanding. From initial contact with my co-ordinator, Winnington, to the last transfer to the airport was fantastic. The surgeon and staff really exceeded my expectations. The language barrier was no problem with the translator, Ishmail, or Google translate. The hotel i stayed in, nearport hotel, was great, with everything you need right on the doorstep. Room service was great. Dr Murat Yaman was excellent. Absolutely a great experience and already considering a dpfl.
The hospital meals could be a bit better, but it was definitely edible.
Katya Клинтс • Tummy tuck United Kingdom

Now my tummy looks amazingly flat, and the skin fits perfectly, without feeling too tight
What worried me most before my full tummy tuck was the end result. Would my tummy look natural? My fears turned out to be unfounded. Now my tummy looks amazingly flat, and the skin fits perfectly, without feeling too tight. The surgeon performed the procedure with a navel repositioning, and everything looks very neat. Recovery is, of course, a process. The biggest difficulty at this stage is standing up straight. It takes time. But I am completely satisfied with the work of the surgeon, the staff and the organisation at the clinic.

Based on my journey so far, I would absolutely point a friend in this clinic's direction
If you're considering a discectomy/lumbar fusion and wondering where to go, I can speak to my experience here. The entire team deserves a 5/5 rating. Truly. From the surgeon's clear communication to the attentive staff, I felt I was in good hands throughout the entire process. The clinic environment itself was also comfortable and well-run. I’m still in the early phase of recovery, but the confidence I have in the care I received makes a huge difference. Based on my journey so far, I would absolutely point a friend in this clinic's direction. It was the right choice for me.
