Penile Implant Surgery, Pre-Op Consultation, Urologist & Anesthesiologist Exams

I travelled to Istanbul for a penile implant procedure with Dr. Buğra Çetin, and overall my experience has been very positive. Like many men, I had been struggling with worsening ED for some time. Lifestyle improvements and medication helped for a while but eventually stopped being effective. My partner and I have a loving relationship and we both felt that a penile implant would allow us to maintain an active and satisfying intimate life for many years to come. After researching options internationally, I was introduced to Dr. Çetin through Bookimed. I was initially cautious about medical tourism, but once I spoke directly with Dr. Çetin and his team I felt much more comfortable. The overall package was clearly explained and included hospital care, accommodation, transfers and translation services. Compared with prices in the UK the cost was still significant but far more reasonable. The hospital itself was excellent. All pre-operative tests were carried out efficiently and the facility and staff were highly professional. My surgery was scheduled the same day after consultation. There were a few organisational bumps along the way (for example transport and hotel booking confusion on arrival). These things were resolved quickly but can feel a little unsettling when you are travelling in a different country. That said, everything promised in the package was ultimately delivered and the medical care itself was excellent. The first 24 hours after surgery were quite painful, which I think is important for patients to know beforehand, although the pain was well managed in hospital and improved significantly after the first day. One thing that surprised me was that the implant remains fully inflated for the first few days after surgery. That period can be uncomfortable but it is temporary and part of the process. A few practical tips for anyone travelling for this procedure: Bring supportive close-fitting underwear to protect the area after surgery. Satin or very smooth pyjama shorts can help when turning over in bed, as they reduce friction and make movement easier during the first few days. Pack very loose trousers or tracksuit bottoms rather than jeans. Slip-on shoes are much easier than trainers that require bending down. Consider bringing simple pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. It is also helpful to have some local cash, as pharmacies may not accept cards for small purchases. These are small things, but they can make the recovery period much easier. I am currently about ten days post-surgery and recovery has been progressing well. The swelling and pain have reduced significantly and things improve a little each day. Full healing takes several weeks, but so far I am very pleased with the outcome and the care I received. Dr. Çetin was professional, reassuring and clearly very experienced in this field. For anyone considering this procedure and researching options internationally, I would certainly recommend speaking with him and his team.

The whole experience was very good , was nervous at beginning but was reasurred by Doctor and nursing staff , care pre and post op was excellent , the hospital was very modern and very clean . Also had very good support from the translator who was alwsys available at short notice , but special mention must go to Dr Bugra Cetin and his team who were very professional through the whole process

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Cetim Bugra thanks to Bookimed. For me, Dr. Bugra was more than just a doctor. I was traveling alone and needed surgery. In Dr. Bugra, I found everything I lacked as a patient in terms of support and brotherly affection. I was very scared at first, but Dr. Bugra's availability, expertise, and professionalism convinced me. The most important thing is the result. I had a successful operation and I'm getting ready to go home. Dr. Bugra asked me to contact him for any issues I might have later. May God bless the Bookimed team and Dr. Bugra. Happy New Year 2026!

Doctor Cetin has, with patience and skill, helped me fix a problem that I couldn't see myself living the rest of my life with. His services were affordable, accessible and extremely timely. Here in Australia, I was facing high prices, massive waits and uncertainty. But with Doctor Cetin and Bookimed, my problem is now solved, though I still have a few weeks of recovery to get through. I'll be recovered and ready to finally get on with my life by the start of 2026 :)

Doctor Cetin is an excellent and highly professional surgeon , He did an excellent job so far in a difficult surgery and also the hospital and the hotel were very good and also the customer support was excellent !!!
