Linda has been wonderful to work with, being extremely kind and attentive
I got rhinoplasty done. Linda has been wonderful to work with, being extremely kind and attentive. Though the night immediately after the operation was a bit rough, most of the pain subsided quickly the following days. Operation itself and healing went smooth. Results are also satisfactory, still waiting for the nose to fully heal and see final results though. Good impression of the hospital with clean rooms. Working with the clinic, Oguz and booking.com has been flexible and a  pleasure. No surprise bills. Would honestly recommend 👍
Friendly staff
More details and available option would be great

The procedure/surgery was successful without any complicating side effects
My journey and experience was good. I was safe and the procedure/surgery was successful without any complicating side effects. I was able to relax and get the medical assistance. The staff and doctors were checking up on my well being and I received the procedure I wanted.
I liked the good quality of Doctor and medical staff and no problems when I arrived in the country and clinic
The aftercare could have been better and more instructions about aftercare and de-swelling

All in all was very impressed
During my consultation, the surgeon and I discussed what results would best suit my specific facial symmetry. This set the tone for the entire process. I didn't have any expectations and all in all was very impressed. I went alone which can make one feel more vulnerable but I was well taken care of and extended a lot of grace for my forgetfulness. My procedure was on both upper eyelids, and while it's too early to tell the final outcome, I can confirm there were no additional expenses. Everything was clear. For anyone considering this, I think it's important to ask about adapting your expectations to your specific uniqueness and go in asking about results that would best suit you.

I'm very happy with my result
If you're looking into getting an eyebrow transplant, finding a team that listens is so important. What stood out for me was that the surgeon actually drew the new eyebrow shape with me before we began, making sure we agreed on the final look. The entire staff was great. In my own words, The clinik its very good.professional person and very gently. I'm still in the early recovery phase, but I feel very positive. Im very happy with my result.i live it. It's the kind of care that makes me feel that in the future when I need i return sure. As for things that could be better, there was Notting negative. The clinic has also been supportive since, staying in touch and giving me a clear aftercare guide.

I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter
I felt very secure and taken care of through the entire experience. All of my inquiries were answered very promptly by both the bookiemed coordinator, the assistant, and my doctor (Dr. C Altindąg), is very experienced and talked me through what to expect and analyzed my nose very thoroughly. I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter (I had a severe deviated septum and other complications from a past surgery that he identified and corrected including a mirgrated graft and a droopy tip). I'm still quite swollen but look forward to seeing final results in a few months.

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.

I could not recommend highly enough
I've been so pleased with my experience from start to finish; I never thought my results from the extended tummy tuck, arm lift and upper arm liposuction could be this good. My recovery is going much better than I expected. They did find a hernia pre-op, which was an additional expense, but it was explained clearly before we proceeded with how to rectify the issue. The clinic's aftercare support has been great, as they've stayed in touch and are easy to reach. My advice is to ask every question about procedure, pain, scars, and recovery timelines so you feel comfortable. I could not recommend highly enough.
I cannot explain how happy I have been with my experience from start to finish and my results have far exceeded my expectations. I never thought I could get results this good. I could not be happier

The English coordinators were amazing, very helpful and a joy to work with
The English coordinators were amazing, very helpful and a joy to work with. They made the process so much easier. I'm very grateful for them. Apart from one incident where a nurse ignored my four requests for pain medication while I was unwell on the ward, my experience with staff was generally good. My surgeon was direct about a realistic final cup size and carefully explained the anchor incision technique and scar placement, marking me meticulously before surgery. Since the procedure, the clinic has stayed in touch, providing a clear aftercare guide and being easy to reach. I did have some additional expenses for take-home medication and an extra night at the hotel. My advice is to do your research and communicate concerns like my medication sensitivity beforehand. Also, be prepared that you might not like the hospital food.

The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent
The possibility of breathing issues was my primary concern going into this. And honestly, that has been the biggest challenge in recovery so far, with one nostril constantly feeling stuffed. My surgeon performed a closed rhinoplasty. Everything is still very swollen along the bridge, but I can already see that my nose tip appears more refined, which is a great sign. The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent. The general staff were great, though post-op instructions could have been a bit more explicit. I'm satisfied with the medical care I received so far
Dr. Erol is an amazing doctor, his work was amazing he truly listened to my request and expectations and he was really patient and reassuring. The medical assistance team as well, they really took good care of me, they were present when i needed them.

I'm feeling better than I expected to at this point in recovery
I'm feeling better than I expected to at this point in recovery. It was a big decision. My research was extensive, and I can confirm the surgeon, Dr. Ibrahim, is professional. He took the time to clearly explain how the AMS (Boston Scientific) device functions, which was a critical part of my decision-making process. The clinic has stayed in touch since the procedure, and I can also verify there were no additional expenses on top of the quoted price. If I could advise a future patient, it would be to have less stress before arriving.

But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts
I liked everything overall. Initially, I was very afraid, starting with the flight to another country, the transfer to the hotel and the operation itself. But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts. 5 hours after the operation I returned to the hotel. Which is also very good because the hospital ward is the worst for me. Exactly after a week I took off the splint, my nose was still swollen. The nose is proportional to my face. When the swelling goes down it will be smaller

From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone
From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone. Memorial Hospital is not a hospital, it is a home where staff members look after a patient with a warm heart. My mommy makeover included a tummy tuck, breast work, and liposuction on two areas, and it was important that Dr. Demir personally checked on me after the surgery. The only thing that could be better is if nurses spoke more English, especially for post-op care. The clinic is easy to reach. I am very grateful.
From my bottom heart I would like to thank you everyone,start from whatsapp consultant, clinic coordinators, nurse, hotel and big thank you a Dr.Demir.All of you were amazing in every way.I would choose you again and again.Memorial hospital is not only a hospital, it is a home where all staff members look after a patient with warm heart.I am very greatful for everything.❤️❤️❤️

While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already
My main concern before traveling was getting a result that didn't look like me. My surgeon was fantastic in addressing this; he was honest about realistic outcomes for my age, carefully examined my facial structure, and showed photos of similar patients. We agreed on a deep plane facelift for my face only. While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already. It's gonna be perfect after the swelling settles down. My one critique is that I would have loved to get some more specific and detailed info on the techniques. Getting my whole medical report would have been nice. On a practical note, there were no additional expenses. My advice for anyone considering this: take your time and trust the process. Be prepared for some facelift blues and buyer's remorse during your initial recovery—it's part of it.

All the staff members made me feel very comfortable
All the staff members made me feel very comfortable. As I traveled on my own, I felt well cared for and looked after in the clinic, and the included hotel was basic but nice. The procedure went well. I was initially a bit unsure about the schedule for my follow-up appointments, but the team checked on me daily through WhatsApp, which was reassuring. My surgeon explained why the transconjunctival technique, leaving no visible scar, was the right choice for me, and the surgery was performed under local anesthesia with sedation. So far, my recovery is going about as expected. One piece of advice: bring a V-pillow. The clinic only mentioned I'd need to sleep upright on the day, and having one made my hotel stay much more comfortable.

One thing that stood out was the surgeon taking the time to draw my new hairline with me before we began, which helped set clear expectations for the outcome
If you're considering an Afro hair transplant, the most important thing is to be prepared. I would advise anyone who wants to do this to prepare for pain; it’s not an easy process. My procedure involved up to 2,000 grafts. One thing that stood out was the surgeon taking the time to draw my new hairline with me before we began, which helped set clear expectations for the outcome. Since the procedure, the clinic has stayed in touch. It is too early to tell what the final results will be. On a practical note, I can confirm there were no additional expenses on top of what was quoted. For these reasons, I rated my overall experience, the surgeon, staff, and clinic a 4 out of 5.

FAQ about treatment in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Why is Istanbul a popular destination for cheekbone reduction and facial contouring?

Istanbul attracts international patients for cheekbone reduction. One reason is the large number of board-certified plastic surgeons and JCI-accredited hospitals. The city offers surgical bone reduction techniques with prices starting from $3,000. Packages often include luxury recovery and high-quality medical care.

  • Surgical expertise: Surgeons like Dr. Hasan Sahin have performed over 12,000 successful aesthetic procedures.
  • Clinical standards: Facilities like Memorial Bahçelievler hold JCI accreditation and ISO international quality certifications.
  • Specialized techniques: Clinics offer precise bone reduction, buccal fat extraction, and 3D facial balancing.
  • Full care: Packages often include VIP transfers, 4-star hotel stays, and personal multilingual coordinators.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows Istanbul clinics often bundle cheekbone reduction with complementary procedures like bichectomy. Clinics like Dr. MED report high success rates by combining these treatments. This approach achieves better facial symmetry than bone reduction alone. Check if your package includes 1 year of aftercare support for the best long-term results.

Patient Consensus: Patients value the all-inclusive nature of Istanbul clinics. VIP transfers and daily check-ins make recovery feel well supported. Patients often recommend confirming all inclusions early to avoid surprise bills during the stay.

What is the recovery process like after cheekbone reduction in Istanbul?

Recovery from cheekbone reduction in Istanbul usually includes 1 night in the hospital. After that, patients rest locally for 7 to 10 days. Patients return home after a final check-up. Primary swelling goes down within 2 weeks. Final facial contours appear after 6 months.

  • Hospital stay: Most Istanbul clinics require 1 night for monitoring. They also provide immediate care after the operation.
  • Initial healing: Swelling and bruising peak at 72 hours. Cooling masks help manage them.
  • Dietary restrictions: Patients must stick to a liquid diet for 3 days. This protects the incisions inside their mouth.
  • Activity timeline: Patients usually resume work and light social activities within 14 to 21 days.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Patients often expect immediate results. But Bookimed data shows the face may look larger for up to 4 weeks due to swelling. Top Istanbul surgeons stress that bone stabilization takes 12 weeks. This includes surgeons at Estethica or Dr. MED. It's important to choose a clinic that includes a year of aftercare support. This helps monitor the long-term settling process.

Patient Consensus: Patients often describe the first 3 days as intense. They face facial pressure and restricted chewing. They often advise others to wait 2 months before judging how it looks. Temporary numbness and stiffness are normal during recovery.

Who is an ideal candidate for zygomatic reduction (cheekbone reduction) surgery in Istanbul?

Ideal candidates for zygomatic reduction in Istanbul are patients with excessive midfacial width or prominent cheekbones who want permanent facial narrowing. Suitable patients must have a fully developed facial skeleton. This usually happens by age 20 or older. They also need good skin elasticity to prevent tissue sagging after bone reduction.

  • Anatomical indication: Best for true lateral prominence in the zygomatic arch or body.
  • Bone development: Patients must have finished facial growth, usually after age 18 to 20.
  • Skin quality: Patients need high skin elasticity to support tissues once bony volume is reduced.
  • Physical health: Patients should be non-smokers without chronic conditions that could impair complex bone healing.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul clinics like Estetik International and Memorial Bahçelievler often bundle cheekbone reduction with buccal fat extraction. They also combine cheekbone reduction with forehead contouring. Data suggests that patients seeking midface narrowing benefit from JCI-accredited facilities. At these facilities, surgeons like Prof. Dr. M Veli Karaaltin offer 35+ years of experience. Always request CT-based planning. Aggressive reduction can lead to mid-face tissue descent without proper structural assessment.

Patient Consensus: Patients highlight that the initial recovery involves significant swelling. Even so, the results provide a smoother facial contour. Patients also advise confirming long-term follow-up plans. These plans help manage nerve sensitivity or minor asymmetries during the healing phase.
