Dr. MED : Patients Reviews and Experience

From the moment that I requested services to the time of recovery, everything has been perfect. I am two weeks out from surgery now, and just loving the look of everything so far. I can’t wait to further use his services.

What can I say? Every detail was perfect and the surgery was extremely professional in every way, shape and form.. I cannot recommend a place higher than this clinic.

For anyone considering a neck lift, here’s my balanced take. The surgeon and medical staff were very good, and I’m happy I went with the deep plane technique. The best part is seeing my neck bands gone already. That's a big win. However, the clinic itself was a real letdown and didn't match the quality of the medical team, which is why I can't give a higher overall rating. Recovery is a process; my neck feels comfortably snug and my incisions are still quite red, while the constant compression garment has been the most challenging part. It's a complex recommendation because the surgical care was solid but the facility was not.

My experience was amazing. Dr Mustafa was incredible and made me feel completely at ease, and the nurses were so kind and caring throughout the whole process. My medical coordinator, Lara, was absolutely amazing and supported me every step of the way. The surgery has come out perfectly, exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m so grateful to the whole team for making my dream come true, and giving me my confidence back ☺️❤️. I am still slightly bruised and swollen in the “after” picture I have added, but the difference speaks for itself!!!

What worried me most was how the recovery would go and how much pain I would be in. To my relief, it turned out to be quite bearable. At this stage of healing, the biggest source of discomfort has been the irritation from the plaster, rather than the pain from the operation itself, which came as a pleasant surprise to me. My surgeon used the anchor lift technique and Mentor implants, and I had complete confidence in his approach. My nipples are healing well, although it is still too early to judge the final shape of my breasts. The entire clinic staff were very attentive and supportive every step of the way. It was a good choice.

I was worried about how the recovery would go and when the first changes would become noticeable. Now, at this early stage, I can say that everything is going according to plan, although the final shape hasn’t yet become apparent due to severe swelling, which is to be expected. I underwent Vaser liposuction on several areas, during which around 3–4 litres of fluid were removed. The procedure itself went well. The entire clinic staff were very supportive, and wearing the compression garments, contrary to my expectations, isn’t causing any serious discomfort. I’m happy with the organisation and the care.

My biggest fear was feeling like just another number in a busy international clinic. Instead, the surgeon took significant time to address every concern during our initial consultation, which put me at ease immediately and helped me feel prepared for the process. I am now 15 days post-op and navigating the early stages of recovery with plenty of support from the medical staff. They have been remarkably kind. The facility is spotless. Even though I have a way to go before the final results are clear, the attentive care I received makes me feel confident about the surgical path I chose. Every interaction felt personal. I appreciate how the team remains available for questions even now that I am back home.

I am grateful to bookmed for helping me choose a clinic. Everything that was promised was fulfilled in full! We were met and organised everything very efficiently in terms of time. The interpreter Akilai was very good, she solved all our queries and questions very quickly and was available 24/7. Dr Hakan - hair transplant and Dr Ibrahim Renoseptoplasty are very competent. I would like to mention Dr Hakan in particular, he was very attentive, friendly and open, explained everything and took care of us...The doctors did a great job and now everything depends on how carefully their recommendations will be followed during the rehabilitation period.

This is not my first experience with Dr Med because I trust this team. Experienced surgeons and competent support from the medical team. Timely support and assistance, both physical, emotional and psychological, help patients feel like they are in good hands. That's why I recommend this clinic to my friends, and they too have been treated here several times and are ready to come back again, just like me.🫰

I decided to get a hair transplant after doing some research and chose Dr. Hakan Ikizoglu through Bookimed. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience. Dr. Hakan Ikizoglu was excellent, very professional, charismatic, and supportive throughout the process. He explained everything clearly and personally handled the key parts of the procedure. The operation was smooth and almost painless, with a well-organized and experienced team. The support staff was also great. Transfer, translation, and overall coordination were handled perfectly, making everything stress-free. I would definitely recommend it.

My dream has come true ❤️ After giving birth and breastfeeding two children, I faced a common issue among many women. My breasts significantly reduced in size, became empty, and developed a slight asymmetry. In life, many might say that this isn't important. However, a woman at any age wants to admire herself, to love herself, to dress beautifully, to feel comfortable, and naturally, to be attractive to her husband. According to my husband, everything was fine, and he loved me despite the small imperfections that nature had unfairly bestowed upon me. Yet, as the children grew, everyone was happy except me. I wanted to feel wonderful at the beach, to buy the clothes I desired without high necklines, and of course, to be the beloved, attractive woman in beautiful lingerie for my husband. And I realized that time was passing, and I could delay no longer. I MUST BE HAPPY, first and foremost, for myself. The scariest part was choosing a specialist and deciding where to do it. Fortunately, I found this wonderful website, "Bookimed." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have resolved everything so quickly. I will write a detailed review, hoping it helps others in their choice, overcoming fear, and also realizing their dreams. A month ago, I read your website thoroughly, from the first to the last comment. From the very first moment, a wonderful and responsive girl, Kristina, my personal coordinator, contacted me. She was available almost around the clock and quickly answered all my questions and concerns. She was an advisor and best friend during those days, providing support and reassurance that I could fully trust her and the specialists awaiting me in Istanbul. We then sent a request to the Dr. Med clinic, and Dr. Hakan Teymur provided an individualized program. It was apparent that he had carefully considered my issue, outlining all the necessary work. (I initially thought I only needed implants, but it turned out I also required a lift and nipple correction along with minor asymmetry correction.) Another huge plus Kristina mentioned was that Dr. Hakan uses internal, thin, and absorbable stitches, ensuring the most aesthetically pleasing results. Additionally, they found a date for my surgery as I wanted—within the same month. I wasn't prepared to wait six months, as I'd go crazy with worry. I still had numerous questions in my mind, and I constantly wrote to Kristina, but the next day, through a video call, I spoke with Dr. Hakan and Narmina, who interpreted for me. My questions and emotional concerns were resolved in one call, and I realized that I didn't want another doctor and wasn't afraid to fly there. They would provide the best care possible. And that's exactly what happened. I traveled with my sister, which was very important for emotional and physical support, especially in the early days. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a comfortable transfer that accompanied us throughout our stay in Istanbul—from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to the clinic, etc. We were accommodated in a hotel within walking distance of the doctor's office. The hotel was clean, with daily bed linen change and housekeeping. The next morning, my interpreter, Mukhlisa, awaited us at the reception. This fragile, cheerful, kind, and considerate girl was like an angel. Not once did I feel worried with her; we laughed all the time. Mukhlisa and Narminoka were on standby all day, communicating all movements and recommendations before and after the surgery. The meeting with the doctor and team was also very friendly. It felt like we had known each other for a long time. We discussed everything, took measurements, eased any remaining concerns, and went for tests at the clinic. The surgery was the next morning. The doctor and anesthetist comfortingly held my hands and smiled, assuring me everything would be fine. As I was given anesthesia, I fell asleep... I awoke as I was being wheeled into the room. That was the hardest moment—I was very cold, experiencing severe shivering and pain. But there was plenty of staff around, along with the doctor and my sister. Hakan reassured me that everything went perfectly! The nurses quickly covered me with two blankets, set up a heater underneath, administered pain medication, and once I warmed up, I fell asleep. The room was very cozy; my sister stayed with me on a nearby couch for the entire day. The staff came frequently, day and night, providing pain relief, antibiotics, and checking blood pressure and temperature. By evening, dinner was served. A nurse helped me get out of bed and use the bathroom for the first time. The next morning, Mukhlisa arrived, uplifted my spirits as always, assisted with the discharge process, and accompanied me by transfer back to the hotel. On the second day, I relaxed in the hotel, watched the series "Magnificent Century" the entire day, drank tea, ate, and chatted with my family by phone. By the third day, I was able to go for a walk with my sister in the evening. On the fourth, we took a taxi to see the beauties of Istanbul—mosques, parks, and cafes. I felt fine, and when my chest tingled, we'd rest before continuing our walk. On the fifth day, I had a check-up with the doctor and team. Hakan, a true gentleman, helped me dress and undress, gently removed the bandages, and pleasantly surprised me with his remarkable work and neat scars. Everything looked aesthetic even then. We took some photos for memory. Special thanks to Semra for our secret women's talk. You are incredibly beautiful and open. Narminochka, thank you for your smile and kind heart from the first moment of our communication. You are the best team working alongside an excellent specialist and master in his field. On the same day, it was my sister's birthday, and in the evening, we went on a Bosphorus night cruise. We watched performances, enjoyed alcohol-free cocktails, and danced just a little without moving my arms. We rested on Sunday, strolled through the evening streets, and flew home the next morning. Nearly three weeks have passed—the swelling is going down, though some areas of numbness remain, and there's occasional tingling and pain. But I've already discarded all my padded bras and, for the first time, bought the thinnest, most attractive bras in my life. My husband hasn't seen much of them yet, as I'm still sleeping in a special bra, on my back, and in a separate bed—but when he did, he expressed his admiration, saying they look naturally beautiful and sexy. It's just a little longer before I can reveal them fully, and I'm sure no one would guess there was any surgical intervention. Once again, I thank the entire team that remains in touch with me in a separate WhatsApp group, offering year-long support, concern, and eagerly awaiting my monthly photo updates.

Having decided on facial plastic surgery, I chose a clinic for a long time, where I would trust. After at least 5 online consultations with various clinics, for some reason the choice was made at the Dr.MED clinic and I did not regret my choice at all !!!! I have never met a more friendly, more well-coordinated team !!! The doctor's special approach to his work: his professionalism and golden hands work wonders: I had: Mid Face Lift, Neck Lift, Lower and Upper Blepharoplasty Endoscopic Temporal Lifting and all this amount of work, which was performed by Dr. Khakan Temur in just 7 hours. The effect is unpredictable for me !!!! At 50, I looked like I was 25 again!!! I am very grateful to Dr. Khakan Temur for professionalism, Narminochka and Samra for their friendliness and experiences, for professional organization. I got the impression that this team works 24/7 Good luck and development !!! I will definitely visit you again, now without hesitation !!!!
