I’ll be honest, this recovery has been more physically demanding and difficult than I anticipated so far. That said, I feel good about my decision. The surgery was liposuction with gland excision on my chest, and my surgeon was excellent. He was honest about realistic results and clearly explained the technique, the compression vest, and the recovery period. The clinic staff stayed in touch afterward, which was helpful. The only unexpected expense was for food, as the partner hotel makes you take the more expensive room service. My main advice: don’t do it alone if possible. Having someone would’ve made a lot of things easier and it won’t cost you more. Also, bring a bag with everything you need and put it on the table; I really struggled getting around at first.

Coordinator (Ege) is very nice and helpful, nice guy. Dr Ergin was also very relaxed, calm and knowledgeable, so you are put at ease very quickly. You get your own room, and if you have a partner come they are full supported and have a sofa bed there too (I was solo and would recommend not to do it solo)

Really only 2 negatives otherwise very good - Right at the start when the cannula was put in, I told them I was bad with needles / blood / vein related activity, but they didn’t understand. So I had to lay down, but still needed to sign the anaesthesia documents. After 5 mins I got up, went light headed, tried to get back to the bed, past out and banged my head on something as I went down and woke up panicked on the floor alone. This was a translation issue, but it was kind of a shaking experience right at the start. The other was the sleep sedative not working for 2-3 hours, not much sleep nor pain relief at that point.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to both the clinic and Bookimed for the excellent organisation of my operation and the whole trip. From the first contact to the discharge - everything was flawless! I am by nature a terrible panic-stricken person and before the trip I was worried about literally everything. Fears, fears, worries, worries - it was all there. But everything turned out to be perfectly organised: I was met, driven, everything was on time, punctual, comfortable. There was an interpreter everywhere, so everything was clear and calm. I was very pleased with the fact that they started taking me into anaesthesia in the lift, and I didn't even see the operating room - I just woke up in a cosy room with large panoramic windows. This is so important - without stress, without fear, with complete trust. The staff - attentive, warm, responsive. I felt cared for at every stage. And, of course, a special thanks to Dr Ergin Er for the fulfilment of my dream! I had a breast reduction and lift, and already 2 weeks after the operation I feel like a new person. My shoulders are squared, I feel light inside, and every look in the mirror makes me smile. The result is amazing: the stitches are incredibly thin and neat, you can already see the work of a true professional. I don't even know how he did it, everything is so jewellery! Thank you for this magic. Thank you for a new sense of self. You treat not only the body - you treat the soul. I wish you prosperity, grateful patients and as many smiles as possible from those you have helped to become happier.

While I am still on the rehabilitation period at home, tomorrow is a week after the operation and check-up with the doctor. I had liposuction of the abdomen and sides + Brazilian buttocks lift + breast lift, all in one day. The first 3-4 days of rehabilitation are the hardest, but then much easier, the staff / help / service at the highest level, doctor Ergin Er - a doctor from God, I advise everyone, a professional of his work!!!!. I will post photos after at least a month, but the forms are visually visible and pleasing to the eye!!!! Special thanks to Bukimed platform for the selection of clinic, doctor, quick answers to all questions and support, as well as translator Varvara, very responsive, kind, nice girl!

Anonymous • Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

My biggest concern was the scarring from a full, hip-to-hip tummy tuck. My surgeon addressed this directly, explaining exactly where the scars would be and marking my body so carefully before the procedure, which really put me at ease. I also had liposuction on my abdomen and flanks, and honestly, I'm feeling better than expected. The clinic is excellent and provided a clear aftercare guide, with no surprise expenses on top of what I paid. While the surgeon and facility were fantastic, the general staff support could have been stronger. My advice for future patients: I would advise you to bring a gown, button-down PJs, a small pillow for support when traveling back home, and comfortable clothing. Push-in shoes like Crocs are perfect. Also, bring a laptop for entertainment.

Dr Victoria did a great job on assisting me with everything making sure all my questions are being answered. She’s been there 24/7 with all then advises and keeping me calm as l had mixed emotions not knowing what to expect but she made everything sound so easy😃❤️. As l travelled she’s been checking on me until l arrived at Istanbul.She then introduced me to Ege who is the hospital Coordinator, he was of great help , he guided me in all the steps and procedures as well as providing transportation to and from the hotel to the hospital..Arrived to the hospital and my doctor Ismail Buyukcayir came and did his test, he was so sweet and you could tell he’s knowledgeable.After the results came out , he then proceeded with the procedure. Procedure was successful.Ege went above and beyond by keeping in touch with my family from when l went for surgery until l woke up .The staff was helpful . The clinic is spotless..Very clean and the bedding is super spot on

The only concern that l had was when you get discharged from the hospital and you still have the drainage pipes on you .As per the hotel package you are entitled to a complementary breakfast BUT NO ROOM SERVICE, that for me it’s a catch because when you come out of hospital you not fit to move around and the fact that you have the pipes on you . I wish they could accommodate such patients because it’s not easy and is not everyone who afford to bring a companion as most of the patients are international….

My main concern was post-operative discomfort, and that’s partly how it turned out: the hardest part wasn’t the pain, but having to breathe through my mouth all the time whilst sleeping. It wasn’t easy. However, it’s only a temporary difficulty. I had open rhinoplasty, and at this stage of recovery, my nasal breathing is already back to how it was before. There is, of course, still some moderate swelling at the tip of my nose, but that is completely normal. The surgeon and the clinic staff worked very smoothly and professionally. Overall, it was a positive experience, and the clinic can be considered a good option.

The coordinator was always available and supported us throughout the entire process, both before and after the operation. Any questions or issues that arose were discussed with a warm welcome and genuine interest. And that really puts you at ease and makes things easier.

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.

About Bookimed service

Incredible!! Everyone I spoke to has been so supportive and reassuring and I couldn’t have had a more flawless experience- Elviira was amazing and has been super responsive and helpful throughout from the first day I messaged. There was no pressure and Elviira was happy to help answer all of my questions (and even check some with the hospital so they were definitely accurate). Bookimed was great and I would definitely recommend everyone I’ve spoken with if anyone I know is keen to go through a similar experience.

What worried me most was the pain after the operation and how the recovery would go. But I needn’t have worried. Now I only feel a slight discomfort, which is perfectly bearable. The doctor did everything very carefully, placing the implants under the muscle via an incision beneath the breast, and I’m already happy with the result. Sensitivity is back to normal. I’m sleeping better too. I’m very grateful to the whole team for their support and professionalism. My best advice to other women planning this operation is: the main thing is not to be afraid and to trust the doctor – he’s a pro.

Thank you to everyone who took part

It’s a shame I don’t live in Istanbul …

My main worry going into this was the recovery pain, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. It’s not that painful! Of course, there's discomfort, but it was far more manageable than I anticipated, especially while having a 6 month old baby to care for. The biggest challenge for me has honestly just been sleeping upright. I’m still in the early stages of healing, but my incisions looked good when the initial bandages were removed at the clinic, my nipple position has definitely been improved. The surgeon and the clinic staff were very professional and attentive throughout the entire process, providing clear instructions and support. All staff that I came into contact with were polite and caring.

I really liked how organised everything was. The schedule was clearly explained and followed well throughout, so I didn’t have to worry or feel stressed. The surgeon was very kind and even joked with me before the operation, which helped me feel more relaxed. I was also able to bring my family, including my young son, and both the hotel and hospital accommodated us really well.

Any questions I had were answered really well. However, after surgery it can sometimes feel a little overwhelming taking in all the information, so an aftercare information sheet, including guidance on dressing removal and recovery advice would be really helpful.

To anyone who’s unsure, I’d say this: if you have insecurities and don’t feel confident, it’s worth taking this step – the sooner, the better. I entrusted my operation to Dr Ergan Er, who performed open rhinoplasty. Even at this early stage of recovery, I can already see the results. My breathing is better than before, and the tip of my nose looks natural. The whole clinic team was very responsive and professional, which was a great support. My main advice is: if you’ve made up your mind, go to Dr Ergan Er.

Varvara, a very polite and understanding interpreter, provided us with first-class support. She was always in touch with us, and her positive attitude was a great help to us. And we are very grateful to our doctor, Ergin Er, the very best specialist in his field. My daughter and I had long dreamed of seeing him specifically because I had seen the results of his work. In my opinion, Dr Ergin Er is the very best specialist in his field 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

I would advise the local staff to be a little more polite and to wear a warm, welcoming smile (like Varvara the interpreter), as everyone’s positive attitude has an impact on the patient.

I was worried about how I would breathe after the operation, as that was one of the main reasons I came here. It’s simply incredible, but even at this early stage of recovery, I feel that my breathing is better than before. That’s the main thing. I had open rhinoplasty, and the whole process, from the consultation right through to the operation itself, was very well organised. The staff at the clinic are caring, and the surgeon inspired complete confidence right from the start. Of course, there is still some swelling, but I can already see positive changes and am grateful to the team for their work.

I’m absolutely delighted; I’ve wanted this particular specialist for a long time, and finally, together with my daughter, we’ve made our dream come true. A huge thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. Dr Ergin Er has a wealth of experience and does his job to perfection.

Everything was fine.
