The assistants and the doctors were great, clear explanations, details
The assistants and the doctors were great, clear explanations, details. The care from the assistant before operation and after, the next day it was great. However, the grab taxis for consultations were not very comfortable—not spacious, not comfortable, old tapestry, smell inside, which made us feel annoyed before surgery when already nervous and irritated. When we came back for post-operative checking we already made an appointment but in the end we had to wait 2 hours more from the appointed hour.
My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence
If you're thinking about this, my main piece of advice is to be mentally ready for the procedure, as it can be overwhelming. I’m in early recovery from my breast reduction and lift, and I am feeling better than expected. My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence. The clinic team was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Do be aware of some additional expenses – I had a prescription that cost extra at the pharmacy. A few practical tips: bring a spare compression garment, cotton t-shirts to wear underneath it, and your own snacks. Also, having my mum with me has been pivotal to my recovery, so I'd suggest bringing a companion if you can.
The co-ordinator at Bookimed, Winnington was brilliant. No matter how many questions I had he was able to answer them promptly and with one small hiccup from the hospital Winnington went out of his way to try and package a new procedure for me. My co-ordinator Eyyub at Optimed hospital was outstanding. The hospital was great, the staff on my floor were fantastic. We used goggle translate when the co-ordinator wasn’t with us if we came up against a language barrier but that was not very often. I was cared for before and after my surgery by the nursing staff who could not do enough for myself and my mum. I 10000000% recommend Bookimed & Optimed hospital
Post op instructions could be better. I have suggested to them to put together a general guide of what to do and not to do and for however long. What’s normal and if something doesn’t feel right who to contact etc. I think this will greatly help international patients and help the hospital co-ordinators from being hounded with a load of questions from several patients all at once. Peace of mind for the patient and a little more support for the co-ordinator.
The food is catered for Turkish patients and can be hard for international patients to eat. Again, I have suggested to them to try having a small box of fibrous cereal available at breakfast time and instead of a full meal at lunch time something simple like sandwiches or rolls/bagels/baked goods. Dinner was usually ok and we were able to eat most of that but our daytime diet is a little less than they were providing and there was a lot of food waste which they could minimise & use the money elsewhere if there was a cater to international patients diets.
From start to finish, the whole experience went smoothly. Communication was exceptional, and having a translator helped greatly—I understood what was happening more than I would have in my local hospital. The doctor was open and honest, explaining exactly where the scars on both my arms would be, their visibility, and how to position my arms for recovery. I would have liked an itinerary with timings and some aftercare instructions in paper format. That said, the clinic is easy to reach and stays in touch with clear guidance. I am feeling better than expected. My only extra cost was the flight. Definitely bring lots of baggy clothes and some snacks. I can honestly give 5 *
From start to finish the whole experience went smoothly. Communication between staff and Dr was exceptional and by having a translator present helped greatly. Understood what and when was happening more than I would have in my local hospital. Clean, Caring, Smooth transitions, patient led and patient at the front of every decision, even being home I can contact the clinic and get a timely response.
The Dr was open and honest, had a great sense of humor and has given me some neat scars.
The staff were fabulous , they listened and talked you through as much or as little as you wanted
I would have liked an itinerary, some more information of where to be at what time and how I was getting there.
Some aftercare in paper format so that I could go back and read that rather than contacting the clinic would be great.
If I need anything else improved in my body, I'll definitely reach out to Kristina and we'll once again choose the best doctor for my request :)
I would like to share my feedback about the coordinator Kristina, who assisted me from the initial inquiry until the very end. I was searching for a clinic for breast lift/augmentation. I don't recall how, but I submitted a request on Bookimed and received a response very promptly. To be honest, I wasn't planning to undergo surgery so soon; I was simply exploring clinic and doctor options to make a calm decision and perhaps have the lift in a year or more. However, Kristina immediately got involved, listened to my requests, and began providing options in various countries. Initially, I was considering the Czech Republic, but after discussing with Kristina, we decided on Turkey. She took into account my budget, selected clinics, provided reviews with before/after photos, answered countless questions, and I never once felt pressured into making a decision. I had many doubts because I had to travel to another country alone, without a companion, and feared that it might be challenging for me to manage alone, but Kristina assured me that I would receive enough support to not worry. And that's exactly how it was! From the airport meeting to my departure, everything was top-notch! The coordinator in Turkey, Sueda, all the nurses, other clinic staff, and the doctor treated me like a VIP guest! I never regretted my decision and am grateful to Kristina and Dr. Ali for quickly fulfilling my long-held dream! If I need anything else improved in my body, I'll definitely reach out to Kristina and we'll once again choose the best doctor for my request :)

The staff deserves a special mention for being so supportive
One of my biggest worries was the potential for hidden costs, but I was relieved to find there were no additional expenses on top of what the clinic quoted. The staff deserves a special mention for being so supportive. They've stayed in touch and have been very easy to reach, which is reassuring during recovery from my traditional liposuction on two areas. What stood out about my surgeon was how carefully he marked the areas before we went into the operating room. My recovery is going about as expected so far. The whole process was handled professionally.
What I valued most about my surgeon was his honesty; he used computer imaging to show me the expected outcome for my full nose reshaping, which set a clear, achievable goal
My biggest worry was whether the results would be realistic. What I valued most about my surgeon was his honesty; he used computer imaging to show me the expected outcome for my full nose reshaping, which set a clear, achievable goal. The procedure was an open rhinoplasty, and while I’m still healing, my recovery is progressing about as expected. The clinic staff provided great support, staying in touch and giving me a clear aftercare guide. No surprises with costs either. For anyone planning this, I’d recommend bringing a neck pillow, cotton swabs, cleansing wipes, dry mouth spray, and a lip balm. You’ll likely be breathing through your mouth for the first week, so keeping your lips and mouth moisturized makes a big difference.
I had a great experience from start to finish. The entire team was professional, kind, and supportive throughout my facial surgery journey. They made me feel comfortable, answered all my questions, and provided excellent care before and after my procedure.
The clinic was clean, well organized, and the follow-up during my recovery has been outstanding. I’m still healing, but I’m very happy with my experience so far and grateful for the care I’ve received.
My biggest concern before the trip was unexpected additional costs, and unfortunately that concern proved to be justified. My additional costs for two lymphatic drainage sessions, an anti-thrombosis injection for the return flight and meals at the hotel amounted to €450. My advice to future patients is therefore: you should definitely clarify any additional costs that may arise. Apart from that, my surgeon was excellent. He marked the areas very carefully before the operation, which put me at ease. Over 4 litres of fat were removed during the Vaser liposuction, and my recovery has so far gone as expected. The clinic provided me with good support afterwards, was always available and gave me clear aftercare guidelines. If your language skills are not sufficient, you should definitely ask for an interpreter.
So, in the end, the whole package was just right. The coordinator was always on hand for me, organised everything she could and also cleared up any uncertainties. She was absolutely brilliant. The doctor was very friendly, but always rather curt. Because of the language barrier, it wasn’t that easy to sort out many things straight away. That usually only happened afterwards in the coordinator’s WhatsApp group. The transfer and the hotel we’d chosen were also great, and above all, everyone was friendly. The clinic was OK. The rooms didn’t feel as sterile as they do in Germany, but the medical care was very good. Even with the language barrier, the nursing staff always made an effort to chat with you. It was a good thing I had Google Translate.
I was promised a detailed preliminary consultation, but this did not take place.
An interpreter on site would have been very helpful.
I would recommend a longer stay of at least 10 days. My journey home was anything but pleasant. The wound drains were removed on the day of departure, even though there was still too much wound fluid being produced. On arriving in Germany, I went straight to A&E to rule out any more serious complications.
The staff were fantastic and supportive through every step
I am noticing some subtle changes to my contour, which is encouraging. The staff were fantastic and supportive through every step. The surgeon was professional, though I had minor reservations. My main issue was with the clinic on the surgery side itself; the facilities felt a bit outdated and could use an upgrade. For that reason, my recommendation score is a 7. The people are wonderful, but the physical clinic has room for improvement.
The staff, however, were fantastic and fully deserve their 5-star rating
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.
But overall I'm really happy with my experience with the ID Clinic team ☺️
Ice was one of the nurses who collected me from the airport. She was so kind for waiting nearly two hours for me due to a delay I had. She helped me so much after my surgery too. Another nurse Marge was wonderful. She helped with translation and my aftercare, she was so gentle when helping take out my stitches. I thank all of the nursing staff, they were all wonderful in their own way and treated me very well. I wish I could have spoken with the doctor more, he always seemed in a rush, I know he is a very busy man but if he could slow down just a bit it would help the patient care factor improve. But overall I'm really happy with my experience with the ID Clinic team ☺️ I only took two pictures of the inside of my overnight room, the clinic was very clean and comfortable and beautiful 🙏
The staff and nurses were exceptional!
Not enough conversation with the doctor, he seemed in a hurry

About Bookimed service
Christina was approachable and attentive to my questions, explained everything and answered all questions.I liked everything, no complaints.
The transfer, the hotel, the doctor, the nurses; it was all really good! 😊
Honestly, the experience was okay. I have been in Istanbul three times for medical surgery, and this was the one who I liked less. The transfer, the hotel, the doctor, the nurses; it was all really good! 😊The main problem was in the guide we had. She didn’t speak good english, she was always on her phone and acted like we were not there. When we asked questions, she didn’t know the answers. In my older experiences, the organizer/communicator knew EVERYTHING! The were empathetic and were really friendly. They were ready for any type of question. This time, i was really disappointed. Besides that, there was a lack of information. They send us home and they gave us some Basic Information on what to do, but Information abouth the wounds, how to take care of them, or how to take the stitches out; the didn’t say anything. So the experience was good! 👍🏼 but it could have been better.
The nurses. The hotel‘s staff and food! The doctor
The communication. The organisation. The lack of information
About Bookimed service
Bookimed was the best part! It was really organised. Our organizer Tetiana was THE BEST!! She wa great and did an amazing job!! Bookimed was amazing. My problem was with the clinic staff. Not with bookimed. Bookimed was great 😊❤️
"Highly recommend!!! Once again, thank you all very much!!!"Return: "About the doctor": "Many thanks to the experienced doctor Ilker for the wonderful work
Many thanks to the experienced doctor Ilker for the wonderful work. Elvina is a wonderful girl who helps us with the translation. And of course professional medical staff for care and concern. I'm glad I chose this clinic. Highly recommend!!! Once again, thank you all very much!!!
The surgery is performed at the clinic not at a hospital which concerned me (were they prepared if something went wrong), the rooms opened up to the front desk where people would come for appointments and the toilet was across reception. I felt I didn't have much privacy and was very exposed. Nurses would not always come especially at night when I needed assistance to the toilet. I would be waiting at my hotel for a car and they would have forgotten to send one so the organisation level was not very good. It wasn't a very friendly/caring environment i felt. The communication was very poor too, there was one lady there that spoke English and she never smiled it just didnt feel good. I spoke to the doctor very briefly on surgery day and then he never spoke to me again. I wouldnt go back, ive had surgery in Thailand before and had a far better experience.
The nurses who cleaned my bandages and helped with my compression garments were lovely.
Room quality, upfront about procedures being done in a small operating room at a small clinic not hospital (was about 10 steps from reception), assistance and attentiveness (I didnt get fed after surgery i had to ask for food and they gave me boiled rice, then they also forgot about my breakfast), needs massive improvement in communication and organisation. More support and care. Doctor follow up post surgery should be done.
About Bookimed service
My experience with Bookimed prior to surgery was okay but I was really disappointed with the clinic having had it recommended by Bookimed. There should have been alot I should have been told about prior regarding the clinic and I voiced what was happening but I dont think much will be done about it but I just hope noone else has a similar experience as mine.
A big thank you to the entire team for the great experience and beautiful result!
I had my liposuction procedure and breast lifting done, and I am genuinely very happy with my decision. From the very beginning, communication with the team was professional, kind, and responsive. All my questions were answered in detail, and I felt well-informed and taken seriously.
On the day of the surgery, everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. The medical staff was attentive and made sure I felt safe and comfortable. I especially appreciated that the doctor took the time to explain the procedure clearly, including the realistic expectations and possible risks.
The surgery itself went without complications. The post-operative care – both in the clinic and during follow-ups – was excellent. I felt supported and looked after at every stage. Any pain or discomfort was addressed with sensitivity and care.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Med to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure and looking for honest, skilled, and compassionate care.
A big thank you to the entire team for the great experience and beautiful result!

Our Liposuction Techniques: What Suits You Best?
When considering Liposuction, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:
Vaser Liposuction
Vaser liposuction is a body contouring procedure using ultrasound technology to selectively remove unwanted fat.
Pros: Less invasive due to precise targeting of fat cells. Removes up to 30% more fat than traditional methods. Minimal damage to surrounding tissues, reducing recovery time compared to belt lipectomy.
Cons: Slightly longer procedure time compared to laser liposuction. Potential for skin irregularities if not performed by an experienced surgeon.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 4 liters of fat in a single session.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Recovery: About 1-2 weeks for daily activities, full healing in 4-6 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, flanks, back, arms. Ideal for precise body contouring and definition.
Prices: Cost of Vaser liposuction in test from $3,800
Laser Liposuction
Laser liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure using laser technology to liquefy fat cells before removal.
Pros: Less invasive than traditional methods, with a 25% faster recovery time. Enhanced skin tightening due to laser stimulation.
Cons: Limited to smaller areas, with a risk of burns if not performed correctly. Not ideal for large volume fat removal.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 3 liters of fat in a single session.
Duration: 1-3 hours
Recovery: 2-7 days
Best for: Small areas like chin, arms, and knees. Ideal for contouring and skin tightening.
Prices: Cost of Laser liposuction in test from $1,200
Liposuction (5 Body Areas)
Body liposuction targets five body areas to remove excess fat and improve body contouring.
Pros: Efficiently targets multiple areas, enhancing overall body symmetry. Removes up to 6-10 pounds of fat, providing a noticeable change.
Cons: Longer procedure time compared to liposuction for fewer areas. Increased risk of complications due to larger treatment areas.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 6-10 pounds of fat.
Duration: 4-6 hours
Recovery: 2-4 weeks for daily activities, with full healing in 6-8 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and buttocks. Addresses multiple fat deposits in one session.
Prices: Cost of Liposuction (5 body areas) in test from $4,004
Liposuction 3 Body Areas
Fat reduction surgery targeting three specific body areas to improve contour and remove excess fat.
Pros: Efficiently targets multiple areas in one session, reducing overall procedure time. Offers a more balanced body contour compared to focusing on a single area.
Cons: Longer recovery time than single-area liposuction, as the body needs to heal from multiple sites.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 6 liters (or 13 pounds) of fat across the treated areas.
Duration: 3-5 hours
Recovery: 2-3 weeks for daily activities, with full healing in 6-8 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, and flanks. Ideal for those seeking comprehensive body contouring.
Prices: Cost of Liposuction 3 body areas in test from $3,951
Tumescent Liposuction
Involves injecting a solution to firm the fat, making it easier to remove with less pain, bleeding, and quicker recovery.
Pros: Local anesthesia. Reduced blood loss by up to 90% compared to traditional lipo. Unlike Vaser or laser lipo, which risk burns from heat, tumescent lipo is safer for larger fat removal.
Cons: Injected saline with anesthetic is up to 3-4 times the fat amount, risking fluid overload.
Effectiveness: Removes 3-5 liters (or 6-10 pounds) of stubborn fat.
Duration: 2-4 hours
Recovery: About 1-2 weeks for daily activities, with full healing in 4-6 weeks.
Best for: Abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, neck. Improves body contour, not for significant weight reduction.
Prices: Cost of Tumescent liposuction in test from $1,499
Body Jet Liposuction
Body Jet liposuction uses a gentle water-jet stream to dislodge and remove fat with precision and minimal trauma.
Pros: Minimizes tissue damage by using water pressure, aiding faster recovery. Reduces bruising by up to 50% compared to traditional methods.
Cons: May not be as effective for large volume fat removal compared to other methods like tumescent liposuction.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 3-4 liters of fat per session.
Duration: 1-3 hours
Recovery: 3-7 days
Best for: Small to moderate areas like abdomen, hips, thighs, and arms. Ideal for those seeking precise body contouring.
Prices: Cost of Body Jet liposuction in test from $1,900
Belt Lipectomy
A surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the midsection, improving body contour.
Pros: Provides comprehensive contouring around the waist and back, addressing multiple areas in one surgery. Unlike liposuction, it tightens loose skin significantly.
Cons: Longer recovery time compared to liposuction procedures like Vaser or Body Jet. Involves more extensive scarring due to the larger incision.
Effectiveness: Removes up to 10-15 pounds of excess skin and fat.
Duration: 4-6 hours
Recovery: About 4-6 weeks for full activity, with initial recovery in 2-3 weeks.
Best for: Individuals with significant skin laxity around the abdomen and lower back, often post-major weight loss.
Prices: Cost of Belt Lipectomy in test from $2,076
