The rest of my experience was amazing outside of that one day though
I liked the ease of getting things in order for surgery. I had any question I had answered in a timely manor. The translator was very helpful and personable. I never had to worry about getting a question answered or a response from my assistant. The dr was amazing and very professional and great expertise. The only thing I was uncomfortable with is the pain. I’m considered by several drs to have a high pain tolerance and I was in a lot of pain. Let’s consider though I did have multiple surgeries but they are very stingy with any pain meds. The first day was torture. The rest of my experience was amazing outside of that one day though.
The ease of hospitality I was able to add onto my surgery or any fear I had I was informed on why I shouldn’t be fearful. The assistant and interpreter were perfect.
I liked everything about the clinic from arrival to departure
Very attentive doctor and medical staff, excellent interpreter, whatever requests and questions I had, they were solved immediately.
Very attentive doctor, very subtle approach from his side, I recommend this clinic, doctor, medical staff and interpreter.
Thank you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Surgery in Turkey,
I am 60 years old, and I travelled to Istanbul for a Deep Plane Facelift and a lower and upper Blepharoplasty.
Bookimed, I am so grateful to you, I could not have made this journey without your assistance. Thank you very much for your guidance and patience. I hope I did not give you a hard time.
Turkey is a safe place to travel, it is safer than Paris, Milan or Manhattan. I never felt in danger in Istanbul.
From the moment I arrived at Lokman Hekim Hospital, everything was taken care of by Ismael Ali, who is an easy going and friendly translator.
The pre-operative test were done as soon as I arrived.
The day after I met Doctor Murat Yaman who is a friendly and open person. Before travelling to Istanbul I checked his background and found him to be a very good and competent surgeon. So, on that day I was relaxed for the surgery because I knew I was going to be in good hands.
The work he did on me was outstanding. I am still in the healing process. My eyes are a bit irritated, but that is normal. My face is still a bit swollen but it no longer hangs. My face has changed expression from appearing to be sad or angry to reflecting a normal emotion.
A big thanks to the Lokman Hekim Hospital staff some of them spoke a little bit of English others were fluent but all of them were caring, kind, super friendly and always ready to help.
The whole experience.

About Bookimed service
I like that you never put pressure on me. You walked with me, giving me advices and let me make my own decisions.
If I had a choice, I would contact the same surgeon and the same clinic
I had plastic surgery on the upper and lower eyelids. I can describe my experience as follows: an absolute feeling of safety and comfort throughout the provision of the service. Compassionate staff, talented surgeon, modern equipment and techniques. And subsequent support, which is also very important. If I had a choice, I would contact the same surgeon and the same clinic. On the upper eyelids the seams are very neat, on the lower eyelids I couldn’t find them at all. I am very grateful to my consultant doctor Stanislav from Bookimed for choosing the clinic and doctor, for his participation and support ❤️

About Bookimed service
I was matched with the perfect programme and clinic
The medical staff was always on the phone, they helped in any situation
I stayed at the clinic for 6 days, good conditions, separate room, 3 meals a day. The medical staff was always on the phone, they helped in any situation. I was surprised that manipulations with blood (taking analyses, treatment of stitches after surgery) are carried out without disposable gloves, for this a huge minus. Consultations with the doctor were also very fast, he was always in a hurry. I had a lot of questions, but half of them remained unanswered. He does his job, but especially does not explain or tell anything. For me this is also a disadvantage.
Ward, food, helpful and friendly nursing staff
Post-operative stitching and blood collection were done without gloves
I would have liked a more attentive attitude of the doctor

Verified review.
After the operation I was under the supervision of experienced doctors
Everything went very well. I was met from the airport, put in a hotel, brought to the hospital and taken away, at the end we took him to the airport. Always in touch. After the operation I was under the supervision of experienced doctors.
God, what a gorgeous Doctor and Handsome Man as an actor and his hands are simply golden!
I liked absolutely everything, from the beginning of how I was greeted to how I was taken to the airport, what a wonderful service, considering the fact that I don’t know any language at all except Russian! God, what a gorgeous Doctor and Handsome Man as an actor and his hands are simply golden! Facelift, Neck Lift, Upper Blepharoplasty, Temporal Lift and Lip Lift, how I love my face, thank you very much to all the Dr Med staff for everything, I am happy
Everything went perfectly. I am grateful to Dr Erin

About Bookimed service
Thank you to the medical coordinator
Stanislaw for his support, quick help and
for his support, quick help and solution to all my problems.
The staff at the hospital where I was operated on was terrible, they didn’t even give me water on the day after the operation, the next day the translator told me that water was paid, that’s why they didn’t give me water, it’s terrible, the consultation with the doctor lasted a total of 5 minutes and 5 minutes before the operation. After the operation, I was left alone in the hospital, there was no support from the hospital staff, after the anesthesia, the translator asked me 15 times if I wanted to go to the hotel, but I could barely lift my head from the pillow, in the morning I was somehow able to get up, I was very dizzy, I was in a terrible state for 3 days, no one asked about my well-being, 2 weeks had passed since the day of the operation, after leaving home, the doctor was no longer interested in how my nose was, whether I was okay. I don’t like the result so far, the doctor only removed the hump, but the nose remained just as big, I’ll see after some time, maybe it will shrink, which I doubt. I signed almost all the documents in Turkish and English, they gave me recommendations for care on the day of departure when they were no longer needed, when I asked why they answered me in English, so you’ll just learn it.

Fast Facts about Upper Eyelid Surgery

Pros: Improves vision by eliminating droopy eyelids for up to 90% of patients. Less invasive than full eyelid surgery, reducing recovery time.

Effectiveness: 95% success rate in achieving desired aesthetic results.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: 7-10 days
Best for: Excess skin on upper eyelids, droopy eyelids affecting vision, age-related changes in the periorbital area.
These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.
What kind of anesthesia is used during blepharoplasty for the upper eyelids surgery, and what are its effects?
Upper eyelid surgery typically uses local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia depending on patient preference and surgical complexity. Local anesthesia numbs the area while sedation helps you relax; general anesthesia renders you unconscious during the procedure. Discuss anesthesia options with your surgeon to understand their effects and recovery implications.
How can I verify the credentials and reputation of a Turkish clinic or hospital offering this procedure?
Verify credentials by checking accreditation from bodies like JCI or affiliations with international medical organizations. Reading patient reviews and testimonials can also provide insights into a clinic's reputation. Directly contacting past patients through forums may offer additional perspectives on their experiences.
What is the quality of Turkish healthcare facilities like for upper eyelid correction?
Turkey's healthcare facilities are known for their modern equipment and adherence to international standards. Many hospitals are accredited by organizations such as JCI, ensuring high-quality care. Researching facility accreditations can provide assurance of safety and quality.
Are there any hidden costs or additional fees involved in having surgery?
While many clinics offer comprehensive packages, it's important to clarify what is included to avoid hidden costs. Ask about additional fees for medications, follow-up appointments, or extended accommodation stays. A transparent discussion with the clinic will help manage expectations.
What should I know about the pre-surgery consultation process with a Turkish surgeon?
The pre-surgery consultation involves discussing your medical history, desired outcomes, and potential risks with your surgeon. It's crucial to ask questions about their experience, surgical techniques, and post-operative care plans. This consultation can often be conducted virtually for international patients.
How do I handle any post-operative complications if they arise after returning home?
If complications occur after returning home, contact your surgeon immediately for guidance. Many clinics offer remote consultations to address such issues. Additionally, seek local medical attention if necessary while maintaining communication with your Turkish surgeon.
What are the travel arrangements and accommodations like for patients undergoing surgery in Turkish clinics?
Travel packages often include accommodation at a 4-star hotel and VIP transfer services between the airport, hotel, and clinic. These arrangements are designed to provide comfort and convenience for international patients. Verify what is included in your package prior to booking.
Will there be any follow-up care or support available once I return home after the surgery?
Most clinics provide follow-up care through virtual consultations to monitor your recovery after returning home. It's essential to maintain communication with your surgeon for any concerns or complications that may arise post-surgery. Ensure you understand the follow-up process before leaving Turkey.
Are there any language barriers I might face when communicating with medical staff?
Many clinics in Turkey employ English-speaking staff or offer translation services to assist international patients. It's advisable to confirm language support availability during your initial inquiry with the clinic. This ensures clear communication throughout your treatment journey.
What should I expect in terms of recovery time and process after the surgery?
Recovery from upper eyelid surgery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within this period. Patients are advised to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and follow prescribed eye care routines to promote healing. Full recovery may take several months as residual swelling diminishes.
How do I ensure the Turkish surgeon is qualified and experienced for upper eyelid surgery?
Ensure your surgeon is certified by reputable organizations such as the ISAPS or the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. Review their credentials, years of experience, and patient testimonials. Many surgeons in Turkey have international training, which can be an indicator of their expertise.
What are the potential risks and complications associated with Upper eyelid blepharoplasty?
Potential risks of upper eyelid surgery include infection, bleeding, dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, and asymmetry. These risks can be minimized by choosing a qualified surgeon and adhering to post-operative care instructions. It's important to discuss all possible complications with your surgeon during the consultation.
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. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

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.
