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.

This experience is simply incredible, I would recommend it to everyone
I am very grateful to the company Bukimed and my coordinators Kristina and Ali, who answered my questions very quickly, did not rush me in anything, were extremely loyal. I could even tell them what was bothering me in life and about my strange doubts, and they accepted them and supported me. This experience is simply incredible, I would recommend it to everyone. The clinic greeted me warmly, I read the contract for 5 hours, no one rushed me (I just translated every line). I went to the clinic for checkups, they immediately organized a transfer upon request, the result is excellent. I did not know what size of breasts I wanted by numbers because I could not imagine how it would be better for me, but my professional doctor understood me by microexpressions and did everything perfectly, she chose the best size for me according to the structure of my breasts. The support of the coordinators, medical staff is also 10/10. To be honest, I thought that I was just a client - who pays, but after the visit I realized that I was wrong - they treated me like a patient, but a person. I did not use the services of a translator, because I liked how we amusingly with the nurses explain what needs to be done by movements and in simple words
Everything, I don't even know what to highlight. From start to finish everything was perfect. The operation was successful, any requests were satisfied. Communication was super, cleanliness was super.
On the first day when I checked into the clinic (the day before the operation), I was a little scared at first because everyone didn't know English well, since in general I was scared before my first independent major operation
About Bookimed service
The coordinator is really available 24/7, and it's really a person, because at first I thought it was impossible and it was a bot, but no - it's a living person, I was shocked. She picked out clinics to choose from perfectly, she didn't rush me. Very cute

Thank you for this magic
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to both the clinic and Bookimed for the excellent organisation of my operation and the whole trip. From the first contact to the discharge - everything was flawless! I am by nature a terrible panic-stricken person and before the trip I was worried about literally everything. Fears, fears, worries, worries - it was all there. But everything turned out to be perfectly organised: I was met, driven, everything was on time, punctual, comfortable. There was an interpreter everywhere, so everything was clear and calm. I was very pleased with the fact that they started taking me into anaesthesia in the lift, and I didn't even see the operating room - I just woke up in a cosy room with large panoramic windows. This is so important - without stress, without fear, with complete trust. The staff - attentive, warm, responsive. I felt cared for at every stage. And, of course, a special thanks to Dr Ergin Er for the fulfilment of my dream! I had a breast reduction and lift, and already 2 weeks after the operation I feel like a new person. My shoulders are squared, I feel light inside, and every look in the mirror makes me smile. The result is amazing: the stitches are incredibly thin and neat, you can already see the work of a true professional. I don't even know how he did it, everything is so jewellery! Thank you for this magic. Thank you for a new sense of self. You treat not only the body - you treat the soul. I wish you prosperity, grateful patients and as many smiles as possible from those you have helped to become happier.

The results AMAZING!!!! It looks so natural and matches my face perfectly
My nose was large and not an easy case for Dr Cem Altindag to work with. The results AMAZING!!!! It looks so natural and matches my face perfectly. The Dr and his assistant both responded in the middle of the night to a question I sent them after the surgery. That is outstanding care!! I picked Dr Cem because he specializes in noses and is highly rated. I am working to take my daughter there soon for him to work his magic on her nose also. Before and two weeks later pictures! Thank you Dr Cem

Dr Hakan in particular, he was very attentive, friendly and open, explained everything and took care of us
I am grateful to bookmed for helping me choose a clinic. Everything that was promised was fulfilled in full! We were met and organised everything very efficiently in terms of time. The interpreter Akilai was very good, she solved all our queries and questions very quickly and was available 24/7. Dr Hakan - hair transplant and Dr Ibrahim Renoseptoplasty are very competent. I would like to mention Dr Hakan in particular, he was very attentive, friendly and open, explained everything and took care of us...The doctors did a great job and now everything depends on how carefully their recommendations will be followed during the rehabilitation period.

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

To say that I was shocked by the doctor's approach to treatment is to say nothing. My impressions to you, just do not wish to experience. The operation was agreed in advance counselling and my wishes. The day of the operation came. In the morning I was picked up from the hotel and with an interpreter, I went through all the analyses. On the question when I will have a meeting with the doctor I was told at 9 am then I pointed out that I am allergic to one drug. But they wouldn't give me any medication before the operation without the doctor's consent. When I was already changed clothes for the operation ( I apologise myself in underwear, in an operating gown ) came the doctor and began to explain to me on his hands that it can not be like this, as I want and he sees it all differently. He began to explain to me with his fingers how it will be. Interrupting the interpreter. The interpreter couldn't keep up with the translation. Hurrying me to make a decision. I replied that I couldn't make a decision without seeing any pictures of what was waiting for me. Then after about an hour of dialogue, the doctor corrected the curvature of my nose on the telephoto in front of me and said here's what awaits you and covered the tip of my nose with his hand. Again we heard my refusal, to which I was told there is no time and I have to make a decision. They told me there was no time and I had to make a decision. My wishes were ignored. What was agreed upon before the operation was changed. My wishes were to correct the curvature and to change and reduce the tip of the nose. The result of the operation is that the curvature was not corrected and the septum remained the same. But the cartilage was grown on the side, which I did not ask for at all, and the nose was visually enlarged and the tip was corrected. Now I'm just shocked with my appearance to say the least. Everything was done at the discretion of the doctor. He ignored all my wishes. Putting me in front of the fact. Without showing me a single photo of what's in store for me. Explaining it to me on my fingers.

I am satisfied with everything!
I am satisfied with everything! The Russian-speaking interpreter provided for constant contact, as well as post-operative communication support and organisation and other medical issues. The plastic surgeon, professional, sensitive, experienced, personalised, individual approach, the surgery was individual, not included in the services. Thank you for that! Genicologist, experienced doctor and surgeon with experience. A mini surgery was also done, which is not included in the services. For this also a special thank you. It is a pleasure to deal with such doctors. I am not one of those who is looking for cheaper, I am one who is looking for professionals in their work. I will contact you in the future ... Thank you all. Julia .Switzerland

Everything is done to ensure that the stay and the practical aspects are optimal and organised for tourists. It's great! I would recommend it for the quality of the treatments, the stay and the price. Thank you, I'm delighted to get rid of my complex!

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

What support systems are available for emotional and psychological concerns related to undergoing surgery abroad?

Many clinics offer access to counseling services or support groups specifically for international patients. Additionally, maintaining open communication with family and friends can provide emotional support during your recovery journey abroad.

How long will I need to stay in Turkey after my DIEP Flap Reconstruction surgery?

Patients are generally advised to stay in Turkey for at least 2 weeks following surgery. This duration allows adequate time for initial recovery and necessary follow-up appointments before traveling back home.

What should I know about the anesthesia used during DIEP Flap Reconstruction in Turkey?

DIEP Flap Reconstruction is performed under general anesthesia administered by certified anesthesiologists. Discuss any concerns or medical history related to anesthesia with your surgical team prior to the procedure.

How do I manage pain and discomfort during the recovery period after surgery in Turkey?

Pain management typically involves prescribed medications such as analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs. Following your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully can also help alleviate discomfort during recovery.

Will my insurance cover the cost of DIEP Flap Reconstruction performed in Turkey?

Coverage for international procedures varies by insurance policy; many do not cover elective surgeries abroad. Contact your insurance provider beforehand to understand your policy's specifics regarding overseas medical procedures.

What are the hidden costs associated with traveling to Turkey for DIEP Flap Reconstruction?

Hidden costs may include additional hotel stays beyond the package offer, meals, local transportation, and unforeseen medical expenses. It's essential to have a clear understanding of what your package covers and budget for these potential extras.

What kind of post-operative care and follow-up will I need after returning home from Turkey?

Post-operative care includes monitoring for signs of infection, managing pain, and attending follow-up appointments. Many clinics offer virtual consultations for international patients, allowing you to maintain contact with your surgeon once you return home.

How can I ensure that the hospital or Turkish clinic meets international healthcare standards?

Ensure the hospital or clinic is accredited by international organizations such as JCI. Accreditation ensures adherence to high standards of patient care and safety, which is crucial for undergoing complex procedures like DIEP Flap Reconstruction.

Are there any language barriers I should be concerned about when communicating with medical staff in Turkey?

Many Turkish clinics catering to international patients employ English-speaking staff or provide translation services. It's important to confirm this with your chosen clinic beforehand to ensure clear communication throughout your treatment.

What is the typical recovery timeline for DIEP Flap Reconstruction, and how will it affect my travel plans?

Recovery from DIEP Flap Reconstruction typically takes 6 to 8 weeks, with initial hospital stay lasting about 5 to 7 days. It's advisable to plan for a stay in Turkey for at least 2 weeks post-surgery to ensure proper initial healing and follow-up care before traveling back home.

How do I verify the qualifications and experience of the surgeons performing DIEP Flap Reconstruction in Turkey?

To verify a surgeon's qualifications, check if they are members of international bodies like the ISAPS or have certifications from recognized medical boards. Additionally, request to see before-and-after photos of previous surgeries and read patient testimonials to gauge their experience and success rate.

What are the potential risks and complications of undergoing DIEP Flap Reconstruction in Turkey?

DIEP Flap Reconstruction carries risks such as flap loss, infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. While Turkey has highly qualified surgeons, it's crucial to discuss these risks thoroughly with your surgeon beforehand. Ensuring the facility is accredited by organizations like ISAPS can help mitigate some risks.

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe.

Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?
