Dimple Creation Surgery in Turkey: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Turkey
  • Upon landing in Turkey, you should have your travel documents and transportation details ready for a smooth transfer to your accommodation.
  • Check into your hotel. Take some time to rest and adjust to the local time zone.
  • Review the schedule for your dimple creation surgery, including the date and time of your pre-operative consultation.
  • If you have any questions or concerns, contact the clinic using the provided information.
Day 2: Pre-Operative Consultation
  • Attend your scheduled consultation at the clinic. The surgeon will discuss the desired location and depth of the dimples.
  • The surgeon will mark your skin to plan the exact position of the dimples based on your facial structure.
  • Complete any necessary pre-operative tests, such as blood tests or a chest x-ray, if required.
  • Discuss any medications you are currently taking. Follow the clinic's advice on which to discontinue.
  • Ensure you have stopped smoking and drinking alcohol at least 2 weeks prior to surgery, as advised.
  • Confirm your surgery appointment and make any final payments required by the clinic.
Day 3: Surgery Day
  • Arrive at the clinic on time for your dimple creation surgery.
  • You will undergo local anesthesia to numb the cheek area, ensuring comfort during the procedure.
  • The surgeon will make a small, hidden incision inside the mouth and create the dimple using a suture technique.
  • The procedure lasts about 30 minutes and is minimally invasive with no external incisions.
  • After surgery, follow the clinic's advice on post-operative care, including not eating or drinking for 8 hours prior to surgery.
  • Arrange for transportation back to your accommodation, as you may feel drowsy from the anesthesia.
Day 4: Post-Operative Care
  • Rest and recover at your accommodation. Follow any post-operative instructions provided by the clinic.
  • Expect mild swelling or bruising, which should subside within a few days.
  • Continue to avoid smoking and alcohol to promote healing.
  • If you experience any unusual symptoms or have concerns, contact the clinic's 24/7 emergency line for assistance.
Day 5: Follow-Up Appointment
  • Attend a follow-up appointment at the clinic to assess your recovery and the initial results of the surgery.
  • The surgeon will check the healing of the internal incision and provide further care instructions.
  • Discuss any concerns or questions you may have about the recovery process or the appearance of the dimples.
Day 6-7: Continued Recovery and Preparation for Departure
  • By this time, most patients can return to normal activities. You should continue to follow any specific advice given by your surgeon.
  • Begin preparing for your return home. Ensure all personal belongings and travel documents are in order.
  • Confirm your airport transfer arrangements with the clinic to ensure a smooth departure.
  • Reflect on your experience. Consider reaching out to the clinic for any final questions or follow-up care instructions.
Day 8: Departure from Turkey
  • Check out of your hotel and proceed to the airport for your flight home.
  • Keep in touch with the clinic for any post-operative follow-up or additional care you may require once you return home.
  • Remember that the final results of the dimple creation surgery will become more evident over time as the swelling subsides and the dimples settle into their permanent appearance.

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.

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.

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

I recommend this clinic with all my heart
It was like a breeze. My best decision about my body. Everyone was good to me. The doctor made a perfect work. All staff wanted to help. The clinic is fantastic, very fancy, very clean, a warm place as well. I didn’t felt any pain, I didn’t felt ashamed about my body before the surgery and I left very confident with it after the surgery. I’m glad that I found this clinic. It was definitely a good experience. I recommend this clinic with all my heart. I’m not from Turkey, I’m from Europe and the fact that I choose the Dr. Esra Cabuk Comert’ clinic was the best choice. She and her staff are the best.

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 can 100% recommend this clinic and surgeon
I was nervous travelling to a different country where I don’t know the language for this operation. Also this surgeon and hospital was about 20% cheaper than other offers and I hoped that wouldn’t be reflected in the quality of care. I shouldn’t have worried! I felt taken care of the whole time. They went above and beyond to make sure I was Ok. Ismael my co-ordinator and translator was lovely and professional. The doctor did an amazing job with my nose and I am so happy with the results. I can 100% recommend this clinic and surgeon.

I would like to thank the Bookimed team and the MediPol team for their excellent service ❤️
Admittedly, when I booked the surgery, I was a little sceptical that everything would go well. After all, everything was done online. However, I was very impressed with how good and friendly the constant communication was. I was already feeling increasingly confident here. I also received very good, uninterrupted and professional treatment and care on site. My doctor Dr Burak and my contact person Olivia were very friendly and incredibly helpful. The transfers - to/from the airport or to follow up appointments at the clinic - were very good and reliable. The contact persons at Bookimed also contacted me regularly and enquired about my well-being. I am very pleased with the outcome of the surgery and am pleased to be recovering quickly and well. Dr Burak continues to monitor me now and I feel I am being very well looked after. His instructions are clear and very helpful. I would like to thank the Bookimed team and the MediPol team for their excellent service ❤️.

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt.

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?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
