Unfortunately, my experience with this clinic was extremely negative.
The initial consultation lasted no more than 20 minutes; everything was rushed and felt pressured. There were many strangers in the room, and there was no sense of privacy. The main focus was not on explaining the procedure, but on urgently signing documents and paying the full amount.
The prices turned out to be significantly higher than advertised. For example, the cost of a Doppler (ultrasound) scan of the lower limbs was not initially disclosed, and it later transpired that they charged around €500 for it, although such a procedure usually costs a fraction of that. When asked about this price, the response was along the lines of ‘we are a premium clinic’, without any specific justification.
The conditions at the clinic do not match the advertised standard: the ward was dirty, and there had been virtually no cleaning for two days. The staff speak neither German nor English, which makes communication very difficult.
I had to wait up to 30 minutes for pain relief.
The documents I signed were only issued to me a month and a half later and after numerous reminders.
I would like to make a special mention of the coordinator (Elif): replies were delayed by anywhere from a few days to several weeks, or did not arrive at all. After complications arose, I was left without support or a solution to the problem.
Overall, it feels as though everything at the clinic is run on an assembly-line basis, with little regard for the patient.
I categorically do not recommend either the clinic or the doctor.

He most certainly has
I am leaving a detailed review covering four procedures I’m from the U.K. I had a Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty, deep plane neck and lower face lift on 29th December 2024 with Dr Ali SADIOGLU.
Whilst my overall results can’t yet be seen I would like to tell you what I can for now. Dr Ali SADIOGLU has a professional approach to his work but remains compassionate, empathetic and respectful to your needs and wishes. He listens to what you are saying and discusses any concerns, issues and questions that you have about your procedure. He advises you. He is truthful about the results that you could achieve.
The pre procedure coordinator, Defne, was invaluable. Her services before arriving in Istanbul were excellent. Fluent English is spoken and no question was too much for her to deal with and answer promptly. Without Defne and her attention to the detail of my potential booking I would not have booked. Well done Defne.
My procedure coordinator and my English speaking contact in Istanbul was Elif. The wonderful, professional, never tiring, always available Elif. She was amazing. Elif attended all my appointments with me. Travelled in the taxis with me but remained professional. She ensured that there were no issues with translation (despite my surgeon speaking excellent English) 5*’s for service and patience.
*RHINOPLASTY*
Having a Rhinoplasty at 57yrs old concerned me. Dr Ali SADIOGLU Explained in detail exactly what he thought would look best for my face. I put my entire trust in him and the end product was AMAZING. My new nose was unveiled a week after surgery. IT WAS PERFECT. I can’t thank Dr Ali SADIOGLU enough. Since arriving back in the U.K. friends and family have described my nose as beautiful and whilst I would not use that word usually about myself, it’s a truly beautiful nose.
*BLEPHAROPLASTY*
Dr Ali SADIOGLU explained how he could improve the look of my eyes with a small procedure. The micro detail in this small area needed the skills of Dr Ali SADIOGLU. I no longer look tired. Again, I am so pleased that I put my trust in him.
*DEEP PLANE NECK AMD LOWER FACE LIFT*
My research lead me to Dr Ali SADIOGLU and I am pleased that it did. My final outcome won’t be seen for a few months so I will review the first two weeks.
Prior to meeting Dr Ali SADIOGLU I sent photos and a description of what I thought I wanted to achieve and he carried out a remote consultation. When I met Dr Ali SADIOGLU, we went through a detailed consultation in person. He answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. He explained where the incision lines would be and described the deep plane process in detail. I was confident the I was Dr Ali SADIOGLU‘s next patient.
Surgery went well. Dr Ali SADIOGLU visited me after surgery and also the next day. The care by him and his team was exceptional. All the aftercare was explained clearly. Moving on to the result…. I write this review at 2 weeks post op. My stitches are where Dr Ali SADIOGLU said they would be and are healing nicely. Whilst my face is swollen still, I can see its new tighter, younger and smoother look. Everything is as it should be at this stage. People have told me that I already look 15 years younger.
I’m sorry for the length of the review but Dr Ali SADIOGLU deserves this review. He is an amazing surgeon. Someone previously described him as having ‘magic hands’. He most certainly has.
I promise to you that I will update this review as time goes by so you have the full picture.
You don’t have to pick the surgeon that has the most 5* reviews to find the best. Dr Ali SADIOGLU Is a hidden Turkish Gem.
The skills of the surgeon that I chose
I would have appreciated written instructions for after care and use of medications. There were so many things to remember. Even though I could ask my coordinator anything at anytime it would have helped as a handy reference

This by far outweighs my other experience
I decided to undergo a facelift and fat transfer with Dr. Safa Manav in Istanbul, and I'm a patient who has previously had liposuction, lip lift, and thread lift surgeries in Istanbul at another clinic. So, I was very curious to make a comparison. I will not mention the other clinic, but I will say that Dr. Manav is a cut above.
It's only four days post-surgery, but I am impressed with everyone I have interacted with. Delf, who handles the "What to do?" app while you're still in your country, provides clear and prompt information about what's happening. Upon arrival, a driver picked me up; the car had a TV, WiFi, water, and a very polite driver. Then I met Elif (her full name is Elif Bilge Yavuz), who is your coordinator. She speaks excellent English and understands everything perfectly; she is smart and empathetic, and I can fully understand why Dr. Manav brought her along when creating his clinic win. This woman is a real powerhouse. You feel completely safe in her hands when she performs heart and blood tests from day one to determine if surgery is an option.
During the consultation, I tested Dr. Safa Manav by asking him about additional procedures I was not really interested in and knew I didn't need. I wanted to check if the clinic was only interested in money. He immediately advised against these procedures, saying they were unnecessary and that I did not need them. Moreover, he advised me not to have any of the procedures as he didn’t see that I would need them at any point. This completely convinced me that the clinic and his priorities are focused on patients, not his bank account. I also wanted the doctor to ensure that I looked natural, as I don’t like overly large lips or a very small nose, and I could see that he made a great effort to maintain naturalness. This was also very important to me. But, of course, I understand that some patients prefer that non-natural look.
During the consultation, he was very clear and understandable. I also considered hiring him to remove old implants at a later stage, so we discussed that too.
On the morning of the surgery, I was told I was the only person he was operating on, which was also very reassuring. He came twice to check on me and reassured me.
The hospital is impeccable. It's like a five-star hotel. I had a private room with a bathroom and my own nurse from Dr. Manav, as well as hospital nurses who took care of me. If I pressed the button, they immediately arrived. They constantly checked my condition for 24 hours while I was in the hospital. Even if no medication was needed, they still came and checked on me, like clockwork.
I had some minor swelling and mild pain, but I think each patient is individual. By evening on the day of surgery, I was already walking the corridors without support and even managed to watch a movie. Which was completely unexpected. But, of course, I wouldn’t say that it will be the same for you, as everyone heals differently.
I have now returned to the Antwell Hotel. Every day, Elif or her friend Busa comes to see me. They take photos to send to the doctor and check the dressings. They ensure I haven’t forgotten to take my daily medication. They visit daily, ask if I've eaten, or taken a walk. The hotel is an apartment hotel. I even have a washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher. The hotel is impeccably clean, with nurses in the building, and each room has emergency buttons. There's a Smart TV and adjustable heating. The hotel features restaurants, a pool, spa, library, cinema room, rooftop terrace, and even an art room. The staff is amazing. My speaker charging cable broke, and the concierge went out to get a new cable. Within an hour. Because I didn’t feel strong enough to walk outside. Most residents here are patients, so you meet people in the corridors, elevators, cafes, but if you want privacy, that is respected too.
A big shopping mall is a five-minute walk away, called Emaar mall. It's an excellent mall. Two days after the operation, I felt good enough to walk around it for three hours on my own. There are also several cafes near the hotel.
I haven’t even seen the results of the surgery yet, as I am still bandaged. However, from a professional standpoint, regarding the team, cleanliness, work, staff behavior, accommodation, and transportation, I honestly cannot fault it. And I can compare because I have been here before and had surgeries in Istanbul. It far surpasses my other experience. And my other experience was not bad at all.
I would also like to say that the hospital staff was amazing. I live abroad and, over my 53 years, have encountered hospital staff in many countries. It seems the staff enjoys their work; it seems they truly care. Unfortunately, I have not seen this in the UK, NHS, India, Cambodia, or Spain. In a world where so many people chase fame and wealth online and are no longer interested in normal work, it was so wonderful to see people in their 20s working in care services, working hard and long, enjoying it, and doing an amazing job. I cannot be more grateful for witnessing this. They all deserve awards and much more recognition than they receive.
When I recover, I will write another review dedicated to the results of the surgery itself.
I have not been paid to write this review. I do not know anyone from Dr. Manav’s clinic staff. This is an honest review of my personal experience.
Elif was amazing
Defenders back to you quickly.

During the consultation, I tested Dr. Safa Manav by asking about additional procedures which I was not really interested in and knew I did not need. I wanted to see if the clinic was only after money. He immediately advised me not to do those procedures, stating they were unnecessary and I did not need them. Moreover, he advised me not to undergo any procedure at all, as he did not see that I would ever require one. This completely convinced me that the clinic's priorities are patient-centered, not driven by their bank balance. I also wanted the doctor to ensure I looked natural, as I do not like overly large lips or an excessively small nose, and I saw he really strives to maintain naturalness. This was also very important to me. Though, of course, I understand some patients like a more artificial appearance.

I experienced slight swelling and mild pain, but I believe every patient is unique.

There is a large shopping mall called Emaar Mall a five-minute walk away. It’s a great shopping center. Two days after my surgery, I felt well enough to stroll around it alone for three hours. There are also several cafés nearby the hotel.

The whole team was very supportive and service was excellent! I highly recommend Dr
I’m so happy that I decided to use bookimed and found my doctor Dr. Safa Manav through them. It was a tedious and time consuming process to find a doctor but bookimed made it easier. The coordinator Defne was the first person who contacted me. Defne is just extremely helpful and great! She’s absolutely an asset to his clinic. She’s always there whenever I have a question. Doctor Safa is so nice and down to earth and I felt very comfortable with him. I chose him because he is an expert and double board certified. The whole team was very supportive and service was excellent! I highly recommend Dr. Safa Manav’s clinic.
Everything! The whole experience is great!

I’m truly grateful for the outstanding care I received
I couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of me during my procedure. The medical staff were not only highly skilled, but also incredibly kind, reassuring, and professional every step of the way. From pre-op to recovery, I felt completely supported and in safe hands. Their compassion and attention to detail made all the difference — I’m truly grateful for the outstanding care I received.
The kind lovely staff
Everything was great, however if I have to pick something, the food wasn’t the best
