What patients say about Tummy Tuck and Liposuction at Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital

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.

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.

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.

I had liposuction and a tummy tuck. I am very glad that I chose this clinic, it is very clean, neat, good cozy rooms. Special thanks to the coordinator Elvina, she gives all of herself, and the nurses are all very nice and sympathetic, a huge thank you to all of them!!!!

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).

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 issues were resolved quickly and clearly. Special thanks to Muhlise, Semra and the whole team.

It has been two weeks since my surgery, and I am already more than happy with the result!
What I liked most was the medical expertise, honesty, transparency, and friendliness of Dr. Mehmet Melih Cicek. I came into the consultation with a relatively clear idea about my nose, and Dr. Cicek took a lot of time to examine my nose in advance to see what was possible with my nasal structure and what was not. He then directly and realistically informed me about what he could change about my nose and what (probably) could not be changed. It was a purely aesthetic surgery, and he placed great importance on the functionality of my nose, not just its appearance, which speaks highly of him as a doctor. It has been two weeks since my surgery, and I am already more than happy with the result! I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Cicek! The German-speaking translator Songül was also very nice and helpful and always available. She accompanied me to all appointments with Dr. Cicek, which was a great help and took care of everything. The hospital stay was very good, the room was very large, clean, and modern. The nurses were nice and took good care of me after the surgery. The transfer service from the airport to the hotel and back, as well as from the hotel to the hospital, was also very good. My medical coordinator Yeva from Bookimed, with whom I was in contact from the beginning via WhatsApp, was very friendly and helpful and guided me well through the entire process. Additionally, he is always available, and I receive quick responses from him even after the surgery.
The medical competence, friendliness, and honesty of Dr. Mehmet Melih Cicek. The German-speaking translator was also very nice and helpful.
The only thing I didn't like was the misunderstanding with the surgery appointment. Otherwise, I was pleased with everything.

My experience has been amazing and I’m in love with the results of my breast augmentation!
Honestly, my surgeon (Dr Atilla Eyuboglu) was amazing, he was experienced and empathetic. The nurses were lovely and supported me throughout my recovery. The translator went above and beyond and arranged all my transport and answered all my questions. My experience has been amazing and I’m in love with the results of my breast augmentation! The surgeon listened to me and they look amazing. I was initially worried going abroad, but I’m glad I did my experience was so positive and worry free. Even down to arranging the appointment through bookimed, they would chase things up for me and support me through booking it. I have already recommended this process and hospital to friends, and would definitely go back again!

The doctor and all the staff are very open and friendly
Everything went well, met on a bus from the airport and made a transfer across the city (clinic on the other side). They were also taken to the airport. In general, everything was organized quite well. The clinic has several Russian translators. If one is busy then the other helps you. If there are any problems, the translator takes you by the hand and goes with you and helps to solve them. There were no problems with this at all. The doctor and all the staff are very open and friendly. All questions are answered. If something is not clear, they repeat it again. People in the city are also open to foreigners and ready to help. Their English is very basic, but in which case they open the translator in their smartphone and write to you and translate on the go.

"The doctor is still in touch, although the operation was on January 3rd, he helps with his favorite questions and clarifies everything
Very friendly staff and translator, helped in everything. After the operation, they gave all the advice on the care of transplanted hair, the transfer and the hotel were very pleased. The doctor is still in touch, although the operation was on January 3rd, he helps with his favorite questions and clarifies everything. Now it remains only to wait for the final result.

"I feel like I am in very good hands with this team
Had a consultation for breast mass. An interpreter stayed with me and helped with everything since i dont speak Turkish. The physician very pleasant and professional. He recommened diagnostics and i stayed for the afternoon and quickly proceeded through mammography. Ultrasound and biopsy. Technicians were efficient and diagnosis made. Not cancer good news but my large tumor will require surgery. I will come back in a few days for this. I feel like I am in very good hands with this team. Hospital is new .only one year old. Very beautiful and modern. Istanbul is beautiful and im staying in the tourist section. Food is wonderful and everyone is very friendly in this country .
About Bookimed service
Thank you Ihor Stark for this plan of having breast lump treatment done in Turkey. Physician is wonderful and hospital very nice and modern. Hope to be coming home soon with my new Turkish breast.lol. Also Istanbul is amazing and my son and I are having a goid time seeing the sights.Amazing melting pot of cultures.Very fascinating place to be. We are being treated very well in the hospital and also at our hotel. Thank you. I was scared to move forward with this but now much more confident now that i have arrived and see everything with my own eyes.It is worth the trip to save money on surgery and diagnostics. My son just started college and i have also purchased a home. I do not have a million dollars to spend on this stupid breast lump!
