My main concern heading into this was how painful the recovery would be. And to be honest, the soreness when moving is my biggest challenge right now. The staff, however, were fantastic and fully deserve their 5-star rating. Despite the discomfort, I can already see a clear improvement from the Vaser ultrasonic procedure on the two areas I had treated, which is very encouraging. The clinic and surgeon were good overall. My one piece of advice is something I'm living by. Drink water! It may seem counterproductive when you’re swollen, but it helps so much in the recovery process.

It was relatively simple process from beginning to end. The doctor was knowledgeable, professional, and helpful through and through. I’d definitely recommend, but with a few caveats.

The procedure was quick and efficient, but it felt rushed at times. I left the clinic with only one compression garment, which, if you’re thinking hygiene, is difficult to do with just one. I also wish I brought hard cash to tip. From the drivers to the nurse, there were constant reminders of tipping.

If I had to give advice to a friend, I’d tell her that recovery is no walk in the park. Fifteen days after the operation, my pain is moderate and manageable, but sleeping is still difficult and my nipples are hypersensitive. What’s more, the range of motion in my arms is severely restricted. The decision to go for the dual-plane technique with the incision under the breast feels right. The surgeon and the clinic were good. I was less satisfied with the staff and the organisation. There’s room for improvement there. Although I mentioned information or queries on several occasions, they were either ignored or people talked around the issue. Communication with the nurses was difficult at times due to their limited English. My best tip for recovery: having someone to accompany you is very important, as you are very dependent on others in all sorts of everyday situations. A water bottle with a straw and tops that open at the front are practical and make the first few weeks easier.

The doctor addressed all my questions and answered them. The interpreter was helpful and answered my questions even when I was at the hotel.

The organisation has been a bit of a mess. On the day of my departure, my medical coordinator wrote to say I needed lab results for my thyroid levels, but it was impossible for me to get them from my doctor at such short notice. The clinic had already been aware of my thyroid condition for months. Furthermore, our transfer was at the wrong airport in Istanbul, even though I had sent the exact flight details and explicitly named the airport.

Oksana • Tummy tuck

Switzerland

Apr 18, 2026

Verified review.

My biggest concern before the operation was the recovery period, and it really is quite demanding. Fifteen days after my full tummy tuck with navel repositioning, standing upright is still the biggest challenge. My tummy is already visibly flatter, but naturally still swollen. I am very satisfied with my surgeon’s work (5/5), and the clinic and staff were also good (4/5). My advice to anyone planning this: prepare well for the recovery period. Comfortable clothes, plenty of water, wet wipes and the right snacks such as wholemeal products, skyr and probiotics are worth their weight in gold. And very importantly: make sure you start taking a laxative, e.g. fig syrup, immediately after the operation.

Excellent anaesthesia team; the preparation and administration of the general anaesthetic went smoothly (I didn’t feel a thing – it was like falling asleep for a minute) Care in hospital was provided by the nursing team, though the standard varied. The doctor took the time to talk to me, and all my questions were answered

The nursing staff have a serious lack of knowledge; they generally know very little about nursing. The medical care was fine. Hygiene was appalling; I never once saw the nursing team disinfect their hands after any procedure. The doctor’s visit after the operation lasted less than 5 minutes. The attitude seemed to be: ‘It’s already been paid for, so that’s that’ – with little attention paid afterwards. Poor information regarding discharge; I was practically discharged from the clinic within 30 minutes.

Olesia • Breast lift

What worried me most was the recovery process itself. Technically, I knew what to expect, but the day-to-day healing process was a mystery. It has been 15 days since my anchor incision surgery. At the moment, the most challenging aspect has been the uneven swelling – it’s a bit disorienting and makes it hard to gauge the final result, so you need to be prepared for that. My nipples are also still settling back to normal, which is to be expected at this stage. Despite these temporary difficulties, the support from the surgeon and the entire staff has been tangible. Everyone at the clinic has proved themselves to be true professionals. It’s a process. I’m simply focusing on healing.

I’d like to leave a review of Istanbul Esthetic Center in Turkey. The interpreter, Varvara, was simply amazing — very attentive, always available, and genuinely helpful with any queries. Even after I returned home, she continued to respond and offer support. A special thank you to Dr Ergir Er — a brilliant surgeon and a very pleasant person, who was easy and relaxed to talk to, without any unnecessary stress or tension. I am currently in the recovery phase following breast surgery, but I am already pleased with the result. We’ll see, of course, how things progress and what the final result looks like. The organisation of my stay was also top-notch. A transfer was arranged, and at the clinic the nurses and staff kept a constant eye on me — practically round the clock. While I was at the clinic, I was well looked after; they always helped when needed, took my blood pressure and monitored my condition. The food at the clinic was excellent. I was able to move about freely, walk the corridors, and always felt supported by the staff. Overall, my impressions are very good. Istanbul Esthetic Centre left a strong positive impression — I can recommend it.

Oleksandr Rokitskyi • Veneers

If you plan to get veneers, be aware that the recovery process requires patience. It's been 15 days. The color and shape of my complete smile with E-max veneers turned out better than I expected. However, I still experience sharp pain when biting into food and realize that my bite needs a slight adjustment. I rate the work of the doctor and the clinic overall as good, but this discomfort slightly clouds the impression. Nevertheless, my advice is simple: if you want it, go for it. If you've decided—do it!

The procedure is quite brief

I had a good experience, had my breast reduction with Dr. Ergin Er. He is very professional, I chose his clinic because of his experience and good reviews. I wanted to go too small because my whole life I hated my breasts but he explained to me the best option and I love my results. I’m emotional thinking of how my dream came true, only someone with big saggy boobs can understand this. I feel like a whole new person. This is life changing, All dresses and tops I couldn’t wear I can now wear. I won’t have to struggle looking for bras that fit. No more bruises from bra straps, back pain when I sit…endless. I enjoyed my experience, it was a solo trip that I needed and it’s incredible how someone’s life can change in just one day. My after care is not complicated, I’m just following the instructions, trying not lift anything heavy and I’m healing so well. The after pictures I took them on my seventh day after Dr Ergin removed the tapes I had from surgery. I spent 6 days in Veyron hotel and came back on the 7th day. I went alone and I was worried I would struggle with no help but the hotel has a restaurant & room service with very nice workers.

What worried me most before the operation was how the recovery would go. It’s been 10 days now, and I can say it really is a process. My biggest challenge at the moment is that my eyes are a bit swollen, and the incision sites from the upper eyelid correction are still a bit red. Despite this, I can already see positive changes. When I smile, my eyes look better than before. That’s the main thing. The surgeon’s work and the clinic as a whole were of a high standard, so I’d give them a 4/5. To anyone considering something similar, my advice would be: be clear about what you want to do and stay as calm as possible.

A friendly manner. Attentiveness towards patients.

Pre-operative consultation. Computerised diagnostics.

To be honest, my biggest fear was that the asymmetry of my nostrils—the main issue with my first operation—couldn’t be corrected. The surgeon calmly explained the open approach he would use and put me completely at ease. Now, just 15 days on, the recovery process is progressing well. Although it’s too early to judge the bridge of my nose, I can already see that the tip of my nose has improved projection. The clinic staff have been incredibly attentive, which has made these first few weeks much easier. I am grateful for the care I have received.

The doctor is an incredible person on a personal level, and as a doctor, he’s one of the top three in the world

My biggest concern was the recovery period and whether the DHI method would leave visible scarring or unbearable pain. Two weeks later, the reality is much more manageable than I anticipated during my initial research. The team transplanted between 4000 and 5000 grafts, and the precision of the work is evident as I navigate these first fifteen days of healing. Currently, I only feel a slight tightness in the donor area, which is a common sensation at this stage. The surgeon and the clinic staff handled the technical side with systematic efficiency, making the entire process feel very controlled. It takes real patience. For anyone looking into this, focusing on the post-op care instructions is just as vital as the surgery itself.

My biggest worry was feeling rushed on the day of surgery, and that part was challenging. I would request the many forms that need reading and signing prior to your visit, because being asked to understand what you’ve read and sign on the day when one is feeling anxious and nervous is not ideal. Despite this, my surgeon was fantastic and I felt confident with the dual plane technique used. The results so far are good. Recovery takes time. At 15 days, I'm still struggling to sleep and have some mild discomfort and slightly numb nipples. I feel that a leaflet detailing what to expect in the coming weeks would have been beneficial.

My anaesthetist. He was a wonderful man that put me at ease. He spoke excellent English and reassured me that I was in safe hands. My surgeon also spoke excellent English which was important.

The nurses didn’t speak much English and bearing in mind they are looking after you post surgery it was a a bit difficult. Forms sent to me prior my visit as mentioned before. More post op information. And an emergency number to call once I left the hospital to go to the hotel. I had to ask for that.
