My biggest fear was the language barrier in another country, but everyone made me feel comfortable and heard. From the coordinators to my doctor, the treatment was professional and humane. My surgeon was particularly good, visiting me after the surgery and explaining realistic outcomes beforehand. I feel better than expected. I was given a clear aftercare guide, and there were no surprise costs. My advice is to stay for about five days after the procedure before you plan to travel home.
My experience was very positive; it exceeded my expectations, since being in another country with a different language than the patient's is often frightening, but there I felt comfortable because at every moment I felt listened to and treated with a lot of human warmth — from the coordinators, the translator, and especially the doctor, who was very professional and humane in his treatment. A very beautiful experience.

The surgeon and the entire team at the clinic were great, which put me at ease
My biggest worry was centered on one of the 2-3 fibroids I had. The surgeon and the entire team at the clinic were great, which put me at ease. The procedure itself was smooth. I am now in the early recovery phase and I feel good, though I do tire easily, as is expected. It’s still too early to know what the final results will be, but I am optimistic. I can’t really comment on the price clarity as I wasn't sure about the details. From a medical and care standpoint, everything was handled very professionally by the staff.
The doctor was patient and heard all my needs. He couldnot have done more. Bookmed helped me get the best options. The process was so smooth
Maybe, letting customer know there will be additional cost other than the ones quotated. We paid for so many tests not covered.

My biggest concern was what would happen if there were complications. The only positive was the transport that picks you up and drops you off. After I got home, I became really unwell and was taken to hospital with double sepsis, which doctors suspected was from the newly fitted port. I was rushed into surgery to have what cost me well over 3,000 euros removed. I've emailed in about this and haven't even had one reply. Nobodies even had the decent attitude to even text me back. BEWARE.
The transport that pick u up and drops u off
2 weeks after I got home I became really unwell, I was taken to hospital and it turned out I had double sepsis. They suspected it was from the port that I had fitted as there was puss leaking from it. I was rushed into surgery and had what cost me well over 3,000 euros removed and the doctors who removed it had it tested and both the bacteria that had turned to sepsis was confirmed to be all over it. I've emailed in about this and I ha ent even had 1 reply. I spent 3 and a half weeks in hospital aswell as the costs and inconvenience of getting to Turkey and I have nothing except a big scar where there put it in then spain cut it again to remove it. As I say, nobodies even had the decent attitude to even text me back. BEWARE!!!!!! NO AFTERCARE IF IT GOES WRONG, EVEN IF YOU NEARLY DIE U DONT GET A TEXT.
Anonymous • Deep Plane Facelift
Jul 12, 2026
My surgeon was fantastic. I felt very reassured when he took the time to explain the deep plane technique so clearly and even drew the incision lines with me right before my surgery. He also personally checked on me after I woke up from the general anesthesia. The procedure covered my full face and neck, and I can confirm there were no additional expenses on top of what was quoted. The clinic facilities are excellent. My only disappointment has been the aftercare, as there has been very little contact from the staff. It's still early in the healing process, so it is too early to tell how the final results will look.
The doctor was warm and patient.
Post-op instructions cold be better .
