Tamer Cakar, Dentist

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 am grateful to bookmed for helping me choose a clinic. Everything that was promised was fulfilled in full! We were met and organised everything very efficiently in terms of time. The interpreter Akilai was very good, she solved all our queries and questions very quickly and was available 24/7. Dr Hakan - hair transplant and Dr Ibrahim Renoseptoplasty are very competent. I would like to mention Dr Hakan in particular, he was very attentive, friendly and open, explained everything and took care of us...The doctors did a great job and now everything depends on how carefully their recommendations will be followed during the rehabilitation period.

My biggest concern before the trip was unexpected additional costs, and unfortunately that concern proved to be justified. My additional costs for two lymphatic drainage sessions, an anti-thrombosis injection for the return flight and meals at the hotel amounted to €450. My advice to future patients is therefore: you should definitely clarify any additional costs that may arise. Apart from that, my surgeon was excellent. He marked the areas very carefully before the operation, which put me at ease. Over 4 litres of fat were removed during the Vaser liposuction, and my recovery has so far gone as expected. The clinic provided me with good support afterwards, was always available and gave me clear aftercare guidelines. If your language skills are not sufficient, you should definitely ask for an interpreter.

My dream has come true ❤️ After giving birth and breastfeeding two children, I faced a common issue among many women. My breasts significantly reduced in size, became empty, and developed a slight asymmetry. In life, many might say that this isn't important. However, a woman at any age wants to admire herself, to love herself, to dress beautifully, to feel comfortable, and naturally, to be attractive to her husband. According to my husband, everything was fine, and he loved me despite the small imperfections that nature had unfairly bestowed upon me. Yet, as the children grew, everyone was happy except me. I wanted to feel wonderful at the beach, to buy the clothes I desired without high necklines, and of course, to be the beloved, attractive woman in beautiful lingerie for my husband. And I realized that time was passing, and I could delay no longer. I MUST BE HAPPY, first and foremost, for myself. The scariest part was choosing a specialist and deciding where to do it. Fortunately, I found this wonderful website, "Bookimed." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have resolved everything so quickly. I will write a detailed review, hoping it helps others in their choice, overcoming fear, and also realizing their dreams. A month ago, I read your website thoroughly, from the first to the last comment. From the very first moment, a wonderful and responsive girl, Kristina, my personal coordinator, contacted me. She was available almost around the clock and quickly answered all my questions and concerns. She was an advisor and best friend during those days, providing support and reassurance that I could fully trust her and the specialists awaiting me in Istanbul. We then sent a request to the Dr. Med clinic, and Dr. Hakan Teymur provided an individualized program. It was apparent that he had carefully considered my issue, outlining all the necessary work. (I initially thought I only needed implants, but it turned out I also required a lift and nipple correction along with minor asymmetry correction.) Another huge plus Kristina mentioned was that Dr. Hakan uses internal, thin, and absorbable stitches, ensuring the most aesthetically pleasing results. Additionally, they found a date for my surgery as I wanted—within the same month. I wasn't prepared to wait six months, as I'd go crazy with worry. I still had numerous questions in my mind, and I constantly wrote to Kristina, but the next day, through a video call, I spoke with Dr. Hakan and Narmina, who interpreted for me. My questions and emotional concerns were resolved in one call, and I realized that I didn't want another doctor and wasn't afraid to fly there. They would provide the best care possible. And that's exactly what happened. I traveled with my sister, which was very important for emotional and physical support, especially in the early days. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a comfortable transfer that accompanied us throughout our stay in Istanbul—from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to the clinic, etc. We were accommodated in a hotel within walking distance of the doctor's office. The hotel was clean, with daily bed linen change and housekeeping. The next morning, my interpreter, Mukhlisa, awaited us at the reception. This fragile, cheerful, kind, and considerate girl was like an angel. Not once did I feel worried with her; we laughed all the time. Mukhlisa and Narminoka were on standby all day, communicating all movements and recommendations before and after the surgery. The meeting with the doctor and team was also very friendly. It felt like we had known each other for a long time. We discussed everything, took measurements, eased any remaining concerns, and went for tests at the clinic. The surgery was the next morning. The doctor and anesthetist comfortingly held my hands and smiled, assuring me everything would be fine. As I was given anesthesia, I fell asleep... I awoke as I was being wheeled into the room. That was the hardest moment—I was very cold, experiencing severe shivering and pain. But there was plenty of staff around, along with the doctor and my sister. Hakan reassured me that everything went perfectly! The nurses quickly covered me with two blankets, set up a heater underneath, administered pain medication, and once I warmed up, I fell asleep. The room was very cozy; my sister stayed with me on a nearby couch for the entire day. The staff came frequently, day and night, providing pain relief, antibiotics, and checking blood pressure and temperature. By evening, dinner was served. A nurse helped me get out of bed and use the bathroom for the first time. The next morning, Mukhlisa arrived, uplifted my spirits as always, assisted with the discharge process, and accompanied me by transfer back to the hotel. On the second day, I relaxed in the hotel, watched the series "Magnificent Century" the entire day, drank tea, ate, and chatted with my family by phone. By the third day, I was able to go for a walk with my sister in the evening. On the fourth, we took a taxi to see the beauties of Istanbul—mosques, parks, and cafes. I felt fine, and when my chest tingled, we'd rest before continuing our walk. On the fifth day, I had a check-up with the doctor and team. Hakan, a true gentleman, helped me dress and undress, gently removed the bandages, and pleasantly surprised me with his remarkable work and neat scars. Everything looked aesthetic even then. We took some photos for memory. Special thanks to Semra for our secret women's talk. You are incredibly beautiful and open. Narminochka, thank you for your smile and kind heart from the first moment of our communication. You are the best team working alongside an excellent specialist and master in his field. On the same day, it was my sister's birthday, and in the evening, we went on a Bosphorus night cruise. We watched performances, enjoyed alcohol-free cocktails, and danced just a little without moving my arms. We rested on Sunday, strolled through the evening streets, and flew home the next morning. Nearly three weeks have passed—the swelling is going down, though some areas of numbness remain, and there's occasional tingling and pain. But I've already discarded all my padded bras and, for the first time, bought the thinnest, most attractive bras in my life. My husband hasn't seen much of them yet, as I'm still sleeping in a special bra, on my back, and in a separate bed—but when he did, he expressed his admiration, saying they look naturally beautiful and sexy. It's just a little longer before I can reveal them fully, and I'm sure no one would guess there was any surgical intervention. Once again, I thank the entire team that remains in touch with me in a separate WhatsApp group, offering year-long support, concern, and eagerly awaiting my monthly photo updates.
