Thank you for this magic
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to both the clinic and Bookimed for the excellent organisation of my operation and the whole trip. From the first contact to the discharge - everything was flawless!
I am by nature a terrible panic-stricken person and before the trip I was worried about literally everything. Fears, fears, worries, worries - it was all there. But everything turned out to be perfectly organised: I was met, driven, everything was on time, punctual, comfortable. There was an interpreter everywhere, so everything was clear and calm. I was very pleased with the fact that they started taking me into anaesthesia in the lift, and I didn't even see the operating room - I just woke up in a cosy room with large panoramic windows. This is so important - without stress, without fear, with complete trust.
The staff - attentive, warm, responsive. I felt cared for at every stage.
And, of course, a special thanks to Dr Ergin Er for the fulfilment of my dream! I had a breast reduction and lift, and already 2 weeks after the operation I feel like a new person. My shoulders are squared, I feel light inside, and every look in the mirror makes me smile.
The result is amazing: the stitches are incredibly thin and neat, you can already see the work of a true professional. I don't even know how he did it, everything is so jewellery!
Thank you for this magic. Thank you for a new sense of self.
You treat not only the body - you treat the soul.
I wish you prosperity, grateful patients and as many smiles as possible from those you have helped to become happier.

I am quite impressed with how easy it was to arrange everything through them
I recently booked a blepharoplasty with dr Elgin Er through Bookimed. They were very speedy in their response to any of my questions and the representative from Bookimed followed up frequently to ensure that all the arrangements were done fast and effectively. I am quite impressed with how easy it was to arrange everything through them. It took the uncertainty and difficulty out of the process.
The liked the ease of the whole process. All arrangements were done and each step of the process worked like clockwork. Traveling with a dedicated driver to and from the airport to the hotel, and the hotel to the clinic and back. The hotel they booked was sufficient and the staff were very friendly and supportive. The surgeon, dr Elgin is very knowledgeable and I’m quite happy with the outcome of the surgery. Very little scarring and bruising.
You only see the surgeon for 5 min before the operation. All post-op visits are done with other doctors. When you have any questions for the surgeon be sure to ask it during the first consultation as you won’t get another chance. Although my contract stated that it includes for a partner with 5 nights at the hotel and 1 night in the hospital , my booking at the hotel was only for 1 person. And it was only 4 nights at the hotel as I had to check out of the hotel for the night in the hospital and re- check in after the surgery. That was a quite inconvenient as I would have liked to leave my luggage in the room, and my partner also had to pay extra to stay in the hotel for the night that I was in the hospital.

Honestly, I was anticipating a very stressful experience BUT it’s been the exact opposite
Firstly I wanted to start by saying a HUGE thank you to Ege. I booked my procedure 12 months ago from the UK through Bookimed. The whole process was incredibly easy. From the moment I booked until I flew home, Ege responded to all my questions and queries almost instantly. Deciding to get my breast implants removed was a big step and opting to go abroad was an even bigger step. The cost in Turkey was 4 times lower than in the UK but the care and attentiveness was 10 times better. I was collected from the airport, taken to my hotel and picked up and dropped off by executive transport for my procedure, appointments and airport transfers at no extra cost. On the day of my procedure I was given a full MOT (ECG, bloods, consultation with the anaesthetist and meeting with Dr Ergin) to ensure I was fit and well for the procedure. The procedure itself was quick. My mum and teenage children waited in my hospital room while I was in surgery and where there waiting for me when I woke up. I was checked on hourly after my surgery and the hospital food was lovely (way better than UK). I was discharged with full post op instructions and given my appointment for a few days time (to have bandages removed). I didn’t need any pain relief at all!
To anyone considering a private medical procedure look no further than Istanbul Aesthetics Center. Honestly, I was anticipating a very stressful experience BUT it’s been the exact opposite.
THANK YOU Ege and Dr Ergin. You’ve both been incredible and changed my life.
Everything! I can’t fault the whole experience.

I bitterly regret having had the operation there.
I had no choice about the shape of my implants
I wanted an operation under the muscle
They put the implants above the muscle
I'm sad and disappointed
I paid €4550 plus the flight and got €5000 for them
If I'd had the operation at home in Belgium
I would have paid the same price and got what I wanted
I regret my choice so much
The food
The translator, the result of the operation, the lack of respect and consideration for me and my wishes
