What patients say about Tummy Tuck and Liposuction at Estetik International Istanbul

How convenient is the clinic location and access?

Patients consistently praise the seamless logistics from arrival to departure. Airport transfers are described as 'prompt and very comfortable,' with one noting everything was '💯% from arrival at airport to transfer to hotel and clinic appointments.' The coordination includes regular check-ins and detailed scheduling updates. One patient mentioned the hotel location 'on a mountain' made walking challenging post-surgery, though transfers were provided throughout recovery. The 24-hour assistance and organized approach help international patients feel supported, with one describing being able to board their flight home with 'great confidence' after proper follow-up care.

We chose a doctor for my daughter for a long time and left our choice on Dr. Hakan, he is a doctor from God, his hands are golden, he performed a triple operation for my daughter, brachioplasty, breast implants and reverse abdominoplasty, 5 days have passed since the operation, and it is still difficult to judge objectively about the results, but the stitches that Dr. Hakan makes are a work of art, and the most important thing is how he instills confidence in the patient, my daughter immediately came to her senses after the follow-up examination with the doctor, Thank you very much Dr. Hakan for your patience and professionalism. Young, handsome and talented. I would also like to say about his team, Dr MED’s assistant, Narmina and Mukhlise. Narmina has such sympathy, and can also calm down and give confidence, Mukhlisa is a joyful girl, always positive, always ready to help. The only thing I didn’t like was the location of the hotel, it is located on a mountain, and it is not very easy for a person after surgery to make descents and ascents. Of course, transfers are provided, but the rest of the time you are in the hotel, I really hope for an excellent result of the operation, for this you need to wait 6 months.

How safe is the procedure?

Patients describe feeling reassured about safety from the moment they arrived at Turkish clinics. One noted being 'a bit afraid' initially, but said 'the staff and the doctor immediately allayed' those fears. The surgical experience itself appears well-managed, with patients reporting they had 'keine Schmerzen' (no pain) throughout and received excellent medication management. Post-operative care includes multiple follow-up appointments within the first week, giving patients confidence for their flight home. Clinics provide proper documentation including surgical reports and flight clearance certificates. The nursing teams are described as attentive with someone always available when needed.

Hello, I don't know where to start. At the beginning I was a bit afraid of what to expect, but when I arrived at the hospital the staff and the doctor immediately allayed my fears. I am fascinated by the result of my tummy tuck +360 degree liposuction. The staff and the whole hospital team were very nice and Dr Ergin is the best doctor in my opinion, he knows his job. In the event that I should decide to have another operation at some point, I would only go to this doctor and this hospital. I can't even put into words how happy I am.

Ich habe vor 2 Wochen eine Bauchstraffung mit 360* Fettabsaugung in der Astethic Surgery Clinik in Istanbul bei Dr.Ergin Er machen lassen. Alles wurde über Bookimed für mich organisiert. Ich bekam eine deutsch sprechende Mitarbeiterin von Bookimed mit der ich per WhatsApp App alles im Vorfeld besprechen konnte. Am OP Tag lernte ich die Dolmetscherin die vor Ort für mich zuständig ist, persönlich kennen, zuvor hatten wir schon auf Deutsch geschrieben. Dr.Er war sehr nett und zeigte mir auf was möglich ist und was nicht.Mein 2.Tag in Istanbul war auch gleichzeitig mein OP Tag. Alles verlief so wie zuvor besprochen. Nach der OP wurde ich sehr gut durch ein junges Pflegeteam betreut, es war immer sofort jemand da der sich kümmerte. Ich hatte die ganze Zeit über keine Schmerzen und wurde medikamentös gut versorgt. Ich blieb 2 Tage in der Klinik und ging dann ins Hotel. Innerhalb der 7 Tage gab es 2 weitere Kontrolltermine,so dass ich mit einer grossen Sicherheit in den Flieger nach Deutschland steigen konnte. Auch bekam ich einen OP Bericht und eine Bescheinigung für den Flieger mit, damit ich während des Fluges öfter aufstehen und mich bewegen konnte. Jetzt 2 Wochen später muss ich sagen,dass ich von Tag zu Tag beweglicher und mit dem Ergebnis schon jetzt absolut zufrieden bin. Dabei ist die Schwellung noch nicht ganz abgeheilt Ich kann Bookimed für eine medizinische Reise jedem sehr empfehlen, dort ist man in guten Händen und rundum ist alles gut organisiert

How effective are the treatment results?

Patients report being thrilled with their tummy tuck and liposuction results, with one saying she's 'in love with the new me' and another describing being 'fascinated' by the outcome. Dr. Ergin Er gets frequent praise as a 'talented surgeon' who delivers results that exceed expectations. Even early results impress—patients see improvements within 10 days to 2 weeks, with one noting she's 'absolutely zufrieden' despite swelling still healing. The precision stands out too, with stitches described as 'a work of art.' Results are so satisfying that patients plan return visits and say they'd only choose the same doctor for future procedures.

I contacted several medical cosmetic online services besides direct contact with other cosmetic surgeons offices, Bookimed were the fastest and most attentive. I nominated one female surgeon but Bookimed suggested Dr Derya Bingol based on her high rating and patient satisfaction. The plan was to remove my extra skin in lower abdominal area and to tighten the skin in my abdominal area. Dr removed about 1 kg of extra skin. The cut was clean and precise. Dr Derya had steady hand. Pre surgery and while examination Dr. Bingol suspected that I have umbilical hernia. She requested me to do ultrasound, the ultrasound came positive. Fortunately the Dr asked help of one of her colleagues ( general surgeon)to help in fixing the haria. The surgery has no muscles tightening and it was successful. Dr. Bingol is very caring of her patients. I am currently planning nutrition and diet routine to contour my body as I prefer to do it naturally, without lipo or other procedures. The nurses and the staff were top standard , I couldn’t request for a better primary care service

How long is the recovery period?

Based on patient experiences, recovery progresses steadily with manageable discomfort. One patient reported being 'beweglicher' (more mobile) day by day just two weeks post-surgery, despite ongoing swelling. Hospital stays are typically 2 days, followed by hotel recovery with follow-up appointments. Another noted that 7 days post-facelift was 'too early' to judge final results, suggesting patience is needed. Some found hotel locations on hills challenging for post-surgery mobility, though transfers were provided. Patients describe becoming increasingly mobile within the first week, with proper pain management and attentive care supporting the healing process.

7 days ago I had a face lift surgery, it is too early to talk about the result. Later I will add a review. I want to say that the doctor is a professional. The medical staff is very attentive. I had two interpreters they are just super Semra and Muhlise very attentive. In a year I want to do blephoroplasty in Dr.MED clinic.

How experienced and professional are the doctors?

Patients consistently describe Turkish surgeons as highly skilled professionals who inspire confidence from the first consultation. Dr. Ergin Er is praised as a 'talented surgeon' who 'knows his job,' while Dr. Hakan Teymur is called 'a doctor from God' with 'golden' hands. One patient noted that Dr. Derya Bingol demonstrated exceptional thoroughness by detecting an umbilical hernia during examination and coordinating with a general surgeon for repair. Patients describe surgical precision as 'a work of art' and emphasize how doctors instill confidence even in nervous international patients.

At the Dr.Med clinic, diastasis suturing, 360 liposuction, and abdominoplasty were performed. Before surgery, consult with a Doctor. Operated on Op. Dr. Hakan TEYMUR. Everything went very well. The stay at the clinic was with high quality postoperative care. The doctor is very professional, attentive and responsive. Our coordinator was Narmina. Also always in touch. All issues were resolved quickly and clearly. Special thanks to Muhlise, Semra and the whole team.

One noted the clinic was 'very clean, neat' with 'good cozy rooms,' while another highlighted having a 'very spacious' room. The facilities appear modern with what patients call a 'good' clinic setup. Staff throughout the facilities are described as attentive and efficient, with one patient praising how quickly the team works.

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Based on patient experiences, language barriers are effectively managed through comprehensive translation support. Patients describe coordinators who 'explained everything in detail' and interpreters who were 'just super' throughout their journey. German-speaking patients received WhatsApp support in their native language before arrival, while English-speaking patients had dedicated team members guiding them through each step. One patient noted understanding everything on their medical day thanks to thorough explanations. The clinics provide professional interpreters who stay with patients, ensuring clear communication from consultation through recovery and follow-up appointments.

Journey to medical tourism in Turkey was an Excellent experience! Was welcomed at the airport by the team member of Dr. Bakr AbdulHadi and took us to hotel. Next morning was picked up by the team member and meet my surgeon, Everything went smoothly, had tummy tuck with 360 liposuction and BBL. It was very satisfying outcome ( 2 months post surgery). I have to mention the name of team member, English spoken Mr. Souheib who is very professional and was with us all the time of my journey. He provided updated schedule and lead us through. Thank you, Mr., Bakr AbdulHadi for such an arrangement!

Great from start to finish, picked up from airport to hotel always messaged to see I was ok.. medical day I understood everything as the coordinators explained everything in detail. The after care from the nurses was so good, they came in every 2-3 hours got me up and walking and gave me all my medications on time! Thank you to everyone

How clear and organized is the clinic's paperwork?

Patients describe the paperwork process as exceptionally well-organized and thorough. One patient received a comprehensive surgical report and flight clearance documentation, allowing them to move around during their journey home with 'grossen Sicherheit' (great confidence). The administrative coordination appears seamless, with all pre-operative discussions handled clearly through digital communication. Issues are resolved 'quickly and clearly' according to reviewers. Patients particularly appreciate receiving proper medical documentation for travel, including certificates that help with airline requirements. The overall administrative experience leaves patients feeling everything is 'rundum gut organisiert' (well-organized all around).

How supportive and caring is the clinic staff?

Patients consistently describe feeling completely cared for throughout their journey. One solo traveler said she was 'so looked after' that being alone 'didn't feel that way at all.' Staff provide round-the-clock support, with nurses checking every 2-3 hours and coordinators constantly messaging to ensure comfort. Another patient noted the staff made them feel 'more than family' with unwavering support. The nursing teams receive particular praise for being attentive and helping patients walk and recover properly. Some mentioned occasional payment processing difficulties with cards, though this didn't affect the caring atmosphere. Overall, patients describe 'top standard' care that makes even nervous international travelers feel completely supported.

I was so looked after, even though I was completely on my own, it didn't feel that way at all. From pre, during and after surgery EVERYTHING was tailored made to my unique personal and medical needs. I am very thankful for the beyond excellent care of Ege, the holistic expertise of Dr. Ilker, the brilliant nursing staff and the helpful drivers. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much... All of you have contributed to an Indomitable woman whom is able to live life from now on and not just SURVIVE!.... New Body, New Life!

7 days ago I had a face lift surgery, it is too early to talk about the result. Later I will add a review. I want to say that the doctor is a professional. The medical staff is very attentive. I had two interpreters they are just super Semra and Muhlise very attentive. In a year I want to do blephoroplasty in Dr.MED clinic.

How experienced and professional are the doctors?

Patients consistently describe Turkish surgeons as highly skilled professionals who inspire confidence from the first consultation. Dr. Ergin Er is praised as a 'talented surgeon' who 'knows his job,' while Dr. Hakan Teymur is called 'a doctor from God' with 'golden' hands. One patient noted that Dr. Derya Bingol demonstrated exceptional thoroughness by detecting an umbilical hernia during examination and coordinating with a general surgeon for repair. Patients describe surgical precision as 'a work of art' and emphasize how doctors instill confidence even in nervous international patients.

We chose a doctor for my daughter for a long time and left our choice on Dr. Hakan, he is a doctor from God, his hands are golden, he performed a triple operation for my daughter, brachioplasty, breast implants and reverse abdominoplasty, 5 days have passed since the operation, and it is still difficult to judge objectively about the results, but the stitches that Dr. Hakan makes are a work of art, and the most important thing is how he instills confidence in the patient, my daughter immediately came to her senses after the follow-up examination with the doctor, Thank you very much Dr. Hakan for your patience and professionalism. Young, handsome and talented. I would also like to say about his team, Dr MED’s assistant, Narmina and Mukhlise. Narmina has such sympathy, and can also calm down and give confidence, Mukhlisa is a joyful girl, always positive, always ready to help. The only thing I didn’t like was the location of the hotel, it is located on a mountain, and it is not very easy for a person after surgery to make descents and ascents. Of course, transfers are provided, but the rest of the time you are in the hotel, I really hope for an excellent result of the operation, for this you need to wait 6 months.

At the Dr.Med clinic, diastasis suturing, 360 liposuction, and abdominoplasty were performed. Before surgery, consult with a Doctor. Operated on Op. Dr. Hakan TEYMUR. Everything went very well. The stay at the clinic was with high quality postoperative care. The doctor is very professional, attentive and responsive. Our coordinator was Narmina. Also always in touch. All issues were resolved quickly and clearly. Special thanks to Muhlise, Semra and the whole team.

I contacted several medical cosmetic online services besides direct contact with other cosmetic surgeons offices, Bookimed were the fastest and most attentive. I nominated one female surgeon but Bookimed suggested Dr Derya Bingol based on her high rating and patient satisfaction. The plan was to remove my extra skin in lower abdominal area and to tighten the skin in my abdominal area. Dr removed about 1 kg of extra skin. The cut was clean and precise. Dr Derya had steady hand. Pre surgery and while examination Dr. Bingol suspected that I have umbilical hernia. She requested me to do ultrasound, the ultrasound came positive. Fortunately the Dr asked help of one of her colleagues ( general surgeon)to help in fixing the haria. The surgery has no muscles tightening and it was successful. Dr. Bingol is very caring of her patients. I am currently planning nutrition and diet routine to contour my body as I prefer to do it naturally, without lipo or other procedures. The nurses and the staff were top standard , I couldn’t request for a better primary care service

How comfortable and modern are the clinic facilities?

Patients consistently describe Turkish clinic facilities as impressively clean and comfortable. One noted the clinic was 'very clean, neat' with 'good cozy rooms,' while another highlighted having a 'very spacious' room. The facilities appear modern with what patients call a 'good' clinic setup. Staff throughout the facilities are described as attentive and efficient, with one patient praising how quickly the team works. The overall environment seems designed for comfort, with patients feeling well-cared for in clean, spacious settings that support their recovery experience.

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Based on patient experiences, language barriers are effectively managed through comprehensive translation support. Patients describe coordinators who 'explained everything in detail' and interpreters who were 'just super' throughout their journey. German-speaking patients received WhatsApp support in their native language before arrival, while English-speaking patients had dedicated team members guiding them through each step. One patient noted understanding everything on their medical day thanks to thorough explanations. The clinics provide professional interpreters who stay with patients, ensuring clear communication from consultation through recovery and follow-up appointments.

Ich habe vor 2 Wochen eine Bauchstraffung mit 360* Fettabsaugung in der Astethic Surgery Clinik in Istanbul bei Dr.Ergin Er machen lassen. Alles wurde über Bookimed für mich organisiert. Ich bekam eine deutsch sprechende Mitarbeiterin von Bookimed mit der ich per WhatsApp App alles im Vorfeld besprechen konnte. Am OP Tag lernte ich die Dolmetscherin die vor Ort für mich zuständig ist, persönlich kennen, zuvor hatten wir schon auf Deutsch geschrieben. Dr.Er war sehr nett und zeigte mir auf was möglich ist und was nicht.Mein 2.Tag in Istanbul war auch gleichzeitig mein OP Tag. Alles verlief so wie zuvor besprochen. Nach der OP wurde ich sehr gut durch ein junges Pflegeteam betreut, es war immer sofort jemand da der sich kümmerte. Ich hatte die ganze Zeit über keine Schmerzen und wurde medikamentös gut versorgt. Ich blieb 2 Tage in der Klinik und ging dann ins Hotel. Innerhalb der 7 Tage gab es 2 weitere Kontrolltermine,so dass ich mit einer grossen Sicherheit in den Flieger nach Deutschland steigen konnte.

Journey to medical tourism in Turkey was an Excellent experience! Was welcomed at the airport by the team member of Dr. Bakr AbdulHadi and took us to hotel. Next morning was picked up by the team member and meet my surgeon, Everything went smoothly, had tummy tuck with 360 liposuction and BBL. It was very satisfying outcome ( 2 months post surgery). I have to mention the name of team member, English spoken Mr. Souheib who is very professional and was with us all the time of my journey. He provided updated schedule and lead us through. Thank you, Mr., Bakr AbdulHadi for such an arrangement!

How clear and organized is the clinic's paperwork?

Patients describe the paperwork process as exceptionally well-organized and thorough. One patient received a comprehensive surgical report and flight clearance documentation, allowing them to move around during their journey home with 'grossen Sicherheit' (great confidence). The administrative coordination appears seamless, with all pre-operative discussions handled clearly through digital communication. Issues are resolved 'quickly and clearly' according to reviewers. Patients particularly appreciate receiving proper medical documentation for travel, including certificates that help with airline requirements. The overall administrative experience leaves patients feeling everything is 'rundum gut organisiert' (well-organized all around).

How supportive and caring is the clinic staff?

Patients consistently describe feeling completely cared for throughout their journey. One solo traveler said she was 'so looked after' that being alone 'didn't feel that way at all.' Staff provide round-the-clock support, with nurses checking every 2-3 hours and coordinators constantly messaging to ensure comfort. Another patient noted the staff made them feel 'more than family' with unwavering support. The nursing teams receive particular praise for being attentive and helping patients walk and recover properly. Some mentioned occasional payment processing difficulties with cards, though this didn't affect the caring atmosphere. Overall, patients describe 'top standard' care that makes even nervous international travelers feel completely supported.

The building is 5 stars, clean and decorated in the best possible way. Alot of patient assistants, but at the same time, it is actually a problem. When a patient approaches the clinic through email, he is responded to from a russian no. Then the patient is forwarded to a public relations employee that will talk to him in detail about what procedures he want to do and is told the prices and when he arrives at the clinic he is forwarded to a third individual which is the patient assistant. While in process you do not know who should follow up with you. Dr. B is a good plastic surgeon, but lacks patient communication. You just are allowed to see him once and not more, incase you need reassurance. Dr. Gina on the other hand is a fabulous dermatologist and has great patient doctor communication and has great work ethics. Regarding the clinic's finances prices are not unified for each procedure, they have multiple prices depending on the patient's status and can even change for the same patient depending on their mood. For example blood investigation costs $65 if you will have surgery and $150 if you will not, even if they told you its $65 they change their mind later. They give you a price for ultraformer and then the prices shoots up a 100% when you arrive to the clinic based on your looks. In my humble opinion, health should not be considered a business because you need to trust the facility and Doctors before submitting your body to them. Revising this opinion might help the clinic on the long run.
