Video Stories from Bookimed Patients
Oksana
I have fulfilled my dream. Finally, I won't cry about my hair anymore.
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 came to Soraca Med Clinic for an upper eye lift and was very satisfied! I recommend this clinic!
I came to Soraca Med Clinic for an upper eye lift and was very satisfied! I recommend this clinic! Competent and experienced doctors and accompanying staff. Responsive and friendly coordinators. Very nice hotel near the sea, thank you very much. My husband and I were very satisfied.
Dr lux , quality , no bruising after rhinoplasty , good doctor .
I was hungry, the hotel can be found better for such money. The nurse after the operation pricked 3 times hands not qualitatively. Who has fear to needles, blood, and I have this fear, on my request to call a specialist, I was refused.
And so everything is good, fast healing . I recommend the doctor .
7 day after surgery
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 ❤️

The clinic was very clean, the staff were very friendly, the room was very comfortable with large windows that let in a lot of light, the interpreter was very kind and straightforward and the doctor was very competent. He put me at ease from the start and gave me good advice, and I'm very happy with the result.
The interpreter reassured me straight away and the doctor was very competent.
About Bookimed service
The holiday was organised very quickly, but I paid a deposit of €200 which was not deducted from the final bill.
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.
Hello. The operation was performed at the Estetik International clinic. The clinic looks expensive. Everything in it is beautiful, expensive, rich, an excellent ward, and so on. But. A lot but. I'll start. Bukemed organized everything quickly. They are great. Only I clarified a couple of times when to take tickets back home. They said on the 14th. And the operation was on the 10th. Analyzes on the 8th. 9 clinic day off. Arriving at the clinic, the translator Ozan, the translator, tells me that she should fly 17-18 back. Since the days are counted from the moment of the operation. That is, I was not correctly informed in bookimed. OK. I left earlier. The doctor said everything is healing. The clinic itself and its attitude towards me. I had a lift and an increase. The operation was carried out on the 10th at about 15.00. On the 11th at 14.00 I was told that I had an hour to get ready and the transfer would take me to the hotel. I begged to leave me for a day or at least until the morning in the clinic. Since it was terribly hard for me, everything hurt a lot. I couldn't get up, get dressed, etc. I felt dizzy and my blood pressure dropped. But I was told 250€ a day at the clinic or go to the hotel. I went to the hotel. I had drainage. It needs to be cleaned. I was told to do it myself. Once a translator came for me. Since I refused to do it myself because I could just faint from all this. The next day, a friend helped me to do this, and then they removed the drainage and sent me home the next day. And here the most interesting begins. Manager Katerina or coordinator. I don't know her position correctly. I'll attach a screen recording showing the dialog. Transfer to the airport is included in the price of all this. I started talking about the transfer in the evening before the day of departure. Then in the morning. Then I was told to expect a transfer. Then they said that it was broken or something else and that I would call a taxi myself. I couldn't do it because I couldn't pay. The card already had a limit on funds. There is such a law in Ukraine. 100.000 UAH per month I can spend abroad. For a very long time I was hung up with a taxi. The plane is in a couple of hours. A child is waiting at home. I'm on my nerves. Due to the lack of specifics and information, at the end of all this, I just lost my temper and could not find other words except mats and tears. In the end, they called me a taxi. I'm going. With full confidence that he was paid. The taxi driver shows the amount. And I understand that it is not paid. I had to ask for a card from their parents. Attach it to your phone and pay. Next, I go to the airport. I understand that I won't be able to. The clinic helped only in the fact that they checked me in for the flight. When they realized that I could really be late, and then they would have to resolve the issue with tickets and the hotel at their own expense, since it was all their fault. There are 100+ people in line at passport control. I understand I can't. Spit in an hour exactly. The gate has already been opened. And I decide to try. I just asked each person if I could go in front of him, and so I went in line and got on the plane. Now the clinic does not respond to me. Bookimed said that the money would be returned for a taxi, but this issue could be resolved for months. But I'm really looking forward to it. Katerina said the issue is under consideration by the authorities. For the past three days does not answer at what stage the question. Regarding the doctor. All OK. I had a difficult breast situation. He corrected her. But so far it's only been a week. I think it's definitely better than it was. But he didn't hear me. I asked for bigger breasts. I installed a 400 ml implant, but I don’t like it because there is no volume anyway.

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

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.
