Thank you bookimed, I love you all ❤️💋
The best thing that could have happened to me. I had a sex change. It was all quick and uncomplicated. In Germany I would have had to wait over 3 years, maybe even longer. Bookimed has made my life worth living again. Bookimed is currently the best intuition. I was pampered and all my wishes were fulfilled. Arrival, transfer, hotel, clinic..... Everything 💯 💥 Thank you bookimed, I love you all ❤️💋
The staff everywhere was very kind, friendly and tolerant

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 :)

I’m so grateful to the whole team for making my dream come true, and giving me my confidence back ☺️❤️
My experience was amazing. Dr Mustafa was incredible and made me feel completely at ease, and the nurses were so kind and caring throughout the whole process. My medical coordinator, Lara, was absolutely amazing and supported me every step of the way. The surgery has come out perfectly, exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m so grateful to the whole team for making my dream come true, and giving me my confidence back ☺️❤️. I am still slightly bruised and swollen in the “after” picture I have added, but the difference speaks for itself!!!

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.

I had a septorhinoplasty with Dr Ergin Er at Istanbul aesthetics plastic surgery centre, and had an incredible experience!! Everyone was incredibly supportive and helpful. Elviira, my Bookimed coordinator, was amazing at answering any questions I had (which was a lot!) and making sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. I was checked up on after my visit and also when I returned after a few weeks, with full end-to-end support. I had a smooth transition to Yasin, my medical manager, who was flawless at arranging travel and all logistics and also incredibly helpful with aftercare instructions. I did not have to worry or take care of anything myself. The hospital was clean, modern and comfortable and made sure I was ok at all times. The staff were incredibly attentive and more than happy to help answer any questions I had and made sure I didn’t feel nervous going in. My husband who stayed with me throughout was also well taken care of (given meals and bedding to stay next to me overnight), which was hugely appreciated. My surgeon, Dr Ergin Er, was very professional and reassuring- I’ve previously had a septoplasty in the UK which he needed to correct as well as performing the rhinoplasty as we had planned. There were no hidden or extra costs and I’m finally able to breathe clearly (like I was supposed to when I had surgery in London). He clearly communicated realistic expectations and what would suit my face I’m currently almost a month postop and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! He has done the most incredible job and it is better than I could’ve hoped for I can’t wait to see what it looks like as it heals further but he’s truly turned my biggest insecurity into my new favourite feature! The after-care was fantastic and the recovery process was very easy. All the staff at the hospital were incredible and took such great care of me which I couldn’t be more thankful for. Overall, I had an amazing experience and i’m so pleased with how it’s turned out. I was fully taken care of from the first message to now. Originally I was a bit nervous about travelling abroad for surgery and wasn’t sure what to expect but this whole process has been so easy and smooth that I would absolutely do it again and recommend it to others. Everyone was so supportive and great at calming my nerves and reassuring me throughout every step of the way. I couldn’t be more thankful to my surgeon and the rest of the team for the amazing work they did.

Incredible!! Everyone I spoke to has been so supportive and reassuring and I couldn’t have had a more flawless experience- Elviira was amazing and has been super responsive and helpful throughout from the first day I messaged. There was no pressure and Elviira was happy to help answer all of my questions (and even check some with the hospital so they were definitely accurate). Bookimed was great and I would definitely recommend everyone I’ve spoken with if anyone I know is keen to go through a similar experience.

I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care
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.

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.

From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle
I was on 29 September 2025 at Lockman hekim clinic for breast and eyelid reduction.All my fears and doubts were in vain. From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle. Everything went smoothly and smoothly. We arrived very early, we were taken to the clinic and our interpreter Olga was already in touch with us. We were placed in a beautifully decorated room, on the same day all the necessary medical parameters were taken. The doctor clearly explained what would happen and how it would be done. We were in the clinic for 3 days and then to the hotel. It was also clean, beautifully designed, rich breakfast. I recommend Lokman Hekim and Dr Marat Yaman if you want to change your appearance.
Food, staff, I can't single out anything, everything was good.

Thankyou for changing my life and giving me some confidence back :-)
There is nothing I didn’t like from the moment I contacted bookimed ! They found the PERFECT surgeon for my personal needs and my surgeon delivered at a great price! I am very happy with my results and after care, I would highly recommend the hospital my surgeon and bookimed. Thankyou for changing my life and giving me some confidence back :-) DR Esme GUNBEY is beyond talented in his field and a really nice guy too with good English :-) I’m already thinking of what to book next ha
The hotel is spectacularly clean and modern, my surgeon DR Emre GUNBER is a perfectionist and the work he done to my nose after 2 failed rhinoplasty’s is incredible! Many surgeons I spoke to previously wouldn’t even take it on, He was honest from the start and said it was a high risk surgery. But I’m amazed at the results and the after care and advice given! Would highley recommend my surgeon for any ENT operations and would highly recommend the hospital and booking.med as a whole.

All in all, I fully recommend this clinic
From the first contact, the support team were very accommodating, professional and was helpful to answer any of my queries. I arrived Istanbul slightly earlier before my hair transplant date to go sightseeing, and they were able to accommodate my schedule including pickup and drop of to airport. They even went above and beyond by helping me to get a transfer from the hotel that I I initially stayed to another hotel that was provided by them. The facilities of the clinic was quite good, and they had the necessary staff that would make or break a good surgery. The Dr spoke good English, was full of empathy of how I felt about my hair, and provided a recommendation on what I needed to do in line with what I wanted to achieve. The transplant was smooth even though it was quite long. However, with the medications they give you, it's not that bad. This also depends on how many grafts you intend to do. I initially thought I was going to be in a lot of pain during and a few days after the operation, but thankfully none of that happened to me. I didn't even have swelling. All in all, I fully recommend this clinic. I'm currently on Day 3, so I have yet to see the results, but so far everything looks okay and is healing quite well
Everything from start to finish was handled very well for me. The clinic and Bookimed were very accommodating to whatever I needed. Very minimal planning on my end because they already handled it
Tbh, everything was good.

Thank you so much 😊
I am very grateful to all the staff for their attentiveness and prompt assistance. I travelled alone, but I didn't feel lonely, I had support from all sides ☺️ Transfer is super, I didn't even expect that it would be so VIP, the drivers are very well-mannered, attentive, careful driving! The hotel is great, I got even more than положено👍🏼 The interpreter Olga provided all kinds of help, support and was always there for me! 🫶 I had a difficult operation on my nose, but Murat Yaman is a professional and did everything to the maximum and even more, I do not regret that out of all the options I was offered I chose him 🥰 I hope my nose will be beautiful) Thank you so much 😊
Transfer, ward, doctor, interpreter, hotel, staff
Some of the staff when I was lying in the ward forgot to bring me ice, water, but that's the way it is, I understand that they have a high workload and can't keep everything in their heads, so in the end they brought it a little later ) This is a trifle and the only small minus, I would not take it into account compared to the way they ran over me.

FAQ about Fishmouth Top Surgery in Turkey

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

Is it safe to have Fishmouth top surgery in Turkey?

Fishmouth top surgery in Turkey is safe when performed by surgeons specializing in gender-affirming care at JCI-accredited hospitals. Success relies on verifying the surgeon is a member of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons to ensure adherence to international safety protocols.

  • Surgeon credentials: Seek specialists like Op. Dr. Aziz Parspanci who focus on reconstructive aesthetics.
  • Clinical standards: Hospitals like Memorial Göztepe provide advanced 4D ultrasound and hybrid operating rooms.
  • Legal requirements: Patients 18+ must provide a psychiatric report confirming gender dysphoria for surgery.
  • Aftercare timeline: Staying in-country for 14 days allows surgeons to monitor initial healing milestones.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While many search for the lowest price, the safest results come from clinics with high surgeon continuity. Dr. Aziz Parspanci at Medipol University Pendik Hospital has advanced training from multiple state and university hospitals. This diverse clinical background is a strong indicator of a surgeon's ability to handle complex radial incisions and minimize asymmetry.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that while results are life-changing, choosing an experienced surgeon like those at Estepera is vital for natural contours. Many suggest budgeting for a full 2-week stay to manage post-op swelling before flying home.

What are the primary risks of Fishmouth top surgery?

Primary risks of Fishmouth top surgery include non-anatomic scarring across the chest center and permanent nipple sensation changes. Patients may also experience dog ears or excess skin folds at incision ends. Less common risks involve hematoma, seroma, or partial tissue necrosis during the healing process.

  • Visible scarring: Central horizontal scars do not follow natural pectoral lines like other techniques.
  • Sensation loss: Nerve damage may cause permanent numbness in the nipples or surrounding skin.
  • Skin contouring: Extra folds or dog ears often require secondary revision surgery for correction.
  • Tissue health: Rare cases of necrosis can affect skin flaps or the nipple area.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Coordination data shows that surgeons like Dr. Aziz Parspanci at Medipol University Pendik Hospital emphasize specialized breast surgery. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon reduces revision rates by ensuring precise tension. Proper surgical technique prevents the need for future fat grafts to fix uneven contours.

Patient Consensus: Patients often emphasize the risk of scars widening or migrating upward over time. Many recommend staying in-country for 14 days to monitor for early signs of seroma or infection.

What does the recovery timeline look like?

Recovery after fishmouth top surgery in Turkey typically allows for a return to light daily activities within 4 to 6 weeks. While initial physical healing occurs quickly, full internal tissue settling and scar maturation generally require 12 to 18 months for the final aesthetic result.

  • Initial stage: Intense pain usually peaks between days 3 and 5 during the first week.
  • Drain removal: Surgical drains are typically removed within 5 to 10 days in Istanbul clinics.
  • Work timeline: Most patients can return to sedentary desk work by weeks 3 or 4.
  • Exercise limits: Light gym activity resumes at month 2, excluding direct chest and pectoral workouts.
  • Scar care: Silicone sheets and scar massage typically begin during week 4 to optimize healing.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish surgical protocols often prioritize earlier drain removal compared to Western practices. Surgeons like Dr. Aziz Parspanci at Medipol University Pendik Hospital typically remove drains by day 10. This faster transition helps patients manage the flight home more comfortably by day 14. Always confirm the clinic provides a travel-ready compression binder for your return flight.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that while the fishmouth technique may retain better nipple sensation, the early recovery requires sleeping upright. They recommend planning a 14-day stay in Turkey to ensure all follow-up checks are completed before flying.

Who is the ideal candidate for the Fishmouth technique?

The ideal candidate for Fishmouth top surgery typically has medium chest volume and prioritizes nipple sensation preservation. This technique suits non-binary patients seeking flat, tight chest contours with unique horizontal scars. It is an effective alternative when tissue volume exceeds limits for periareolar or keyhole methods.

  • Chest volume: Best for medium-sized chests requiring more tissue removal than periareolar.
  • Sensation goals: Ideal for patients wanting to keep nipples attached to original nerves.
  • Aesthetic preference: Suitable for those preferring non-traditional horizontal scars across the chest.
  • Skin quality: High skin elasticity significantly improves final contouring and long-term healing.

Bookimed Expert Insight: While many choose Fishmouth for sensation, outcomes depend heavily on starting anatomy. In Istanbul clinics like Memorial Göztepe, surgeons often recommend this for patients between A and B cups. This specific volume allows for maximum flatness without the tissue mounds common in other methods.

Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that choosing this for a natural look requires realistic expectations about scars. Those with lean frames report the easiest post-operative sculpting and highest satisfaction with the final chest tightness.

Does Fishmouth surgery preserve nipple sensation?

Fishmouth top surgery can preserve nipple sensation because the procedure maintains the original nerve attachments. Unlike free nipple grafts, surgeons keep the nipple-areolar complex connected to a tissue pedicle. This technique provides a higher chance of retaining erotic sensitivity compared to standard double incision methods.

  • Nerve attachment: The surgical pedicle preserves vital clusters of sensory nerves and blood vessels.
  • Sensation types: Patients may retain both tactile feeling and erogenous response after full healing.
  • Incision pattern: Horizontal scars radiate from the nipple, creating a distinct, non-anatomical chest appearance.
  • Tissue limit: This approach works best for patients with small-to-medium chest sizes and good elasticity.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data suggests nipple sensation after Fishmouth surgery is highly variable and often stabilizes only after 18 months. While some patients at high-volume Istanbul centers report 70% sensation return, others see a decline after 1 year. Choosing a specialist like Dr. Aziz Parspanci who focuses on reconstructive microsurgery can help manage the pedicle tension that often causes sensory loss.

Patient Consensus: Many report a mix of tingling and erotic sensation initially, though some describe a gradual fading over time. Non-smokers with smaller chest sizes generally share more positive sensory outcomes during the first 2 years of recovery.
