What patients say about Tummy Tuck and Liposuction at Memorial Şişli 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. 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.

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.

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.

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 surgeon dr ozturk was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable and inspired confidence immediately
My biggest worry was what recovery would feel like this time, especially after having my old implants for well over ten years. It turned out to be about the same as my first surgery. The surgeon dr ozturk was fantastic, friendly, knowledgable and inspired confidence immediately performing a position adjustment and implant replacement, though it's still hard to compare the final result as surgery was only 5 days ago. The hospital facility was clean and private room was great. My main issue was with the general staff support, which could have been more attentive, having said that whenever I called they attended immediately and were kind. Despite that, the medical care itself was solid, and I'm satisfied with the outcome.
Translator amazing as was Dr Ozturk, friendly, professional, knowledgeable. Co-ordination of transport, Appointments etc smooth
Hospital staff could’ve been more proactive eg not leaving things out of reach, ensuring drinks etc on hand, although having said that they immediately attended any call bells and were kind, I just didn’t want to trouble them more than I needed to.

I’m very grateful
My biggest worry was that my nose would look unnatural and that the result wouldn’t live up to my expectations. Now, even though I’m still recovering, I can see that I was worrying for nothing. They removed a small bump, and the bridge of my nose is straighter, just as I’d hoped. I’d also like to mention that the tip of my nose now looks more refined. My breathing has improved too. I think ultrasonic piezorhinoplasty was the right choice. The whole team, from the staff to the surgeon, were very attentive and professional, which helped me feel at ease. I’m very grateful.
We loved everything; the organisation was top-notch. A special thank you to our coordinator, Valentina. They helped us sort everything out and were always on hand. Thank you so much 🙏🏻❗️

My arrival at Istanbul airport was smooth and efficient. I was met and transported to my hotel. My hotel was lovely. Transportation from hotel to hospitals on time and efficient. I met my advocate at international patient area, she had everything under control, all tests lined up and doctor appointments were fabulous. My advocate translated to my language at every appointment. I’m very happy with the service and I felt very “looked after”. My outcome is excellent and I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care.

Being asked to pay extra costs at the last minute was deeply frustrating, souring the entire process. The surgeon was fantastic, and the clinic staff were good. The results speak for themselves; 15 days out, my chest width has perfect proportions and there’s great muscle separation with the medium Polytech implants. But the financial surprise was a significant issue. My advice is this: If you have fat in the chest area and are getting pectoral implants, ensure that gynaecomastia fat removal is negotiated in your final price! You can’t just add an implant without removing excess fat. Confirm with your consultant that this is included, because I did this and was still asked to pay more last minute. Also, the accommodations that they put you in are claimed to be prestige accommodations. The first few days two nights that I arrived. I was put in the most dreadful hotel room that you could ever imagine. I was also informed where I was staying at the very last minute I would advise that you get confirmation of where your accommodations will be and do your research far in advance to ensure that you’ll be staying somewhere acceptable I had to be moved to a new hotel room after completing for days while being ghosted - then the day of my surgery after being operated on I was told to bring my luggage to the hospital and had to check into a new hotel room post Surgery in pain and out of it. Also make sure that whoever your consultant is is readily available to attend to any issues I was ghosted for 48 hours by mine. She had a personal incident in her defence, however, if you’re in a foreign country by yourself, there should be someone to attend to you 24 hours a day regardless of personal incidents time or day somebody should’ve been available as a backup. In summary, it’s very important to make sure exactly what is covered and what is not I was told that everything would be covered except for my flight one in fact, all that was covered was the surgery breakfast hotel accommodations, which were originally terrible and transportation back-and-forth to hospital airport and follow up appointments. In reality, only breakfast was covered. You had to get your own lunch and dinner. Any medications that are prescribed post surgery, including compression vests, or any extra costs are to be covered by the patient and only told at the last minute. It is not in fact, all inclusive. It’s all inclusive in hotel, including breakfast and transportation. Everything else is on you to cover yourself.
I loved the doctor and the translator that I dealt with - Memorial Hospital is exceptional. Very clean and prestigious. Feeling definitely felt like I was in the right place, especially considering I live in Canada and our healthcare is free but very safe.
Don’t be fooled into being told that you’re going to be put in luxury accommodations. Do your research ask what hotel you were going to be accommodated in long before your arrival and READ the reviews. I was told at the very last minute where I was staying, and it ended up being one of the most dreadful hotel rooms. I have ever set foot in in my entire life. In addition at the last minute as I was about to board my flight to come to Istanbul, I was informed of extra costs for fat removal in my procedure, which had already been negotiated months prior. Not a very good situation to inform a patient of extra costs at the last minute literally before boarding my flight to come there. I proceeded to board and figured that this would’ve been resolved by the time I landed only to arrive the day of my surgery and be asked once again for these extra costs to be paid. This was a terrible and horrible experience not something anybody wants to go through minutes before they’re about to be taken into the operating room. Definitely left a bitter taste in my mouth. The only thing that I can say that was wonderful and positive about this experience was the doctor. He was phenomenal. The translator that dealt with me. She was also phenomenal, but the communication with this organization throughout all of these issues and problems was terrible at one point I was ghosted for 48 hours with no responses from the team as to how to proceed with this whole extra cost situation.

Starting from the beginning. My international coordinator maurice did an amazing job in getting me the best doctor i needed for my procedure. Traveling to turkey 🇹🇷 was an incredible experience very excited. At memorial sisli hospital my local coordinator fatiha was very forthcoming with all the details, took care of everything. Then my translators Mohamed and beyza also very helpful and professionals great job helping me understand exactly what was being said. Last but not least. The most important part of the experience. Doctor.. Mustafa akarcay. He is the one that made this journey an amazing, wonderful, magnificent adventure. The doctor is top notch, did a wonderful job.

I honestly had an amazing experience
Having breast reduction and uplift surgery is something that I had wanted for numerous years but due to underlying health conditions I knew it wouldn't be straight forward. When I eventually made the decision I couldn't have made a better decision. From the initial contact and liason s from Bookimed to the transfers, hotel, hospital tests, surgery and post surgery support was more than I could have asked for. The interpreter Bayza was exceptional and made me feel relaxed throughout the process. The hospital staff and especially my surgeon Dr Kadriye who was so friendly and professional throughout. I honestly had an amazing experience. All my health issues were taken very seriously and accommodated for by giving me the relevant tests and aftercare. I would advise from my personal experience to take clothes that button or unzip after surgery .And my must have item would be my neck cushion that I took with me for after surgery for when you have to sleep upright. Memorial Sisli was outstanding. And I am so happy with outcome. Thankyou all . The photos were from the morning of surgery and the 7th day after.
The reassurance,confidence, understanding and professionalism of surgeon. And of course the outcome!

When preparing for a planned operation, it is necessary to consult specialised specialists at your own expense to evaluate the results of tests and to further determine whether the operation can be performed according to medical indicators. In addition, in the postoperative period, to determine the patient's condition, exclude the risk of infection, etc. - tests and consultations are paid for. And only with a separate agreement with the marketing department, some of them can be taken into account as planned.

The surgery went well and I’m happy with the results so far
I liked my doctor and translator. The doctor had a kind and reassuring energy to him. There were two things that bothered me about the experience.One was having to wait several hours past my scheduled consultation with him after a 16 hr travel period after being brought directly to the hospital. The second was being told they may have to harvest cartilage from my ear or rib minutes before my surgery after being told they would not have to do that during the consultation. That really stressed me out. They wound up not having to do that but it made me feel like they had not prepared properly. That being said, the surgery went well and I’m happy with the results so far. I’m posting this only a week and a half from my surgery date but so far, so good.
Overall, it was saving a substantial amount of money for a good result that I liked the most. It is a great overall value.
The hotel was not so comfortable and communication could’ve been better. However, the results are what matters and given the overall price, I don’t feel like one should complain too much.

The surgeon made my nose look beautiful
The only problem was with the interpreters at the hospital itself. There was supposed to be one girl, they said she was not there, then another girl came, and at the discharge there was another girl. And they took turns asking me "what did that interpreter say" or "what did that interpreter say to you". The hospital itself is very big and reading, on the first day a young man from the staff came up to the clinic and clearly by my running look understood that you need help. Good room, I was with a support group in the form of my mum, she was fed three times a day, had a place to sleep and a nice bathroom. The surgeon made my nose look beautiful, and she was unflappable, in a good way.)
