Thank you to your team DOCTOR MED for your professional approach
Good evening. My name is Anna. I will start my story with the fact that I am not the first time I come to Turkey to correct some nuances in myself. That is, there is something to compare! The first person I want to talk about is Dr MED. He is a professional, I would say a fan, he lives and breathes his work. From the first meeting with a banal Hallo to the marking before surgery from the doctor one positive and kindness. He has incredible energy and love for his work. My plans for the operation were global on this visit, but they were not fated to come true. During the operation my blood pressure jumped to 150 and fluctuated during 3 hours from 90 to 150 - it was decided by the anaesthesiologist and the doctor to stop the operation. As a result, only liposuction of the abdomen 360 degrees and correction of the chin was performed. Secondly is of course Dr Mad and his staff . Everything was organised initially through Bookingmed, prices and conditions were agreed with them at the beginning. As soon as we arrived in Turkey we were organised a comfortable transfer to the hotel. In the morning we had a lovely interpreter, Lara, who was with us for the whole 7 days of our stay in Turkey. Very competent staff, the night after the operation I was cared for by two nurses who every hour I put a drip of different medicines and brought me food and water. It was very nice to see Larochka who was on call 24/7. In the third hotel and hotel staff, very attentive and responsive. At any request it was always, quickly and without unnecessary conversations. I had breakfast in the room the first 4 days as it was hard to walk me. Even on the second day they brought me soup in my room in the evening in the hotel, which was especially nice. Thank you to your team DOCTOR MED for your professional approach. RECOMMEND.
The doctor is a professional. He stopped the operation because of high blood pressure and saved my life.

I had a breast augmentation and a mini tummy tuck just over a week ago and everything was top notch
I chose this clinic based on the reviews and I am writing myself. Catherine gave me all the information and helped me with all my organised questions. I had a breast augmentation and a mini tummy tuck just over a week ago and everything was top notch. The contact persons were always in touch with me, available for feedback at any time. The operation was successful , the anaesthesia was mild . Dr Hakan Teymur is empathic, pleasant person, with attention and individual attitude to the patient. Many thanks to Akylay, who supported me and was always in touch with me. Very kind person. Narmina is a very pleasant, positive girl. Now I will wait for the result.

A big thank you to the entire team for the great experience and beautiful result!
I had my liposuction procedure and breast lifting done, and I am genuinely very happy with my decision. From the very beginning, communication with the team was professional, kind, and responsive. All my questions were answered in detail, and I felt well-informed and taken seriously. On the day of the surgery, everything was well-organized and ran smoothly. The medical staff was attentive and made sure I felt safe and comfortable. I especially appreciated that the doctor took the time to explain the procedure clearly, including the realistic expectations and possible risks. The surgery itself went without complications. The post-operative care – both in the clinic and during follow-ups – was excellent. I felt supported and looked after at every stage. Any pain or discomfort was addressed with sensitivity and care. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Med to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure and looking for honest, skilled, and compassionate care. A big thank you to the entire team for the great experience and beautiful result!

How long should I plan to stay in the country after the surgery to ensure proper recovery?

It's recommended to stay in Turkey for at least 5-7 days post-surgery for initial recovery and follow-up appointments. This duration allows time for monitoring immediate post-operative progress before traveling back home.

What post-operative care will be provided before I return home?

Post-operative care typically includes follow-up examinations, medication prescriptions, and guidance on recovery practices such as wearing compression garments. Clinics often provide detailed instructions on how to manage your recovery once you return home.

How can I manage my anxiety about undergoing surgery in a foreign country?

Researching thoroughly about the procedure, choosing a reputable clinic, and having open communication with your surgeon can alleviate anxiety. Additionally, arranging for a companion during your trip can provide emotional support throughout your stay.

Will my health insurance cover any part of the procedure or related expenses in Turkey?

Most health insurance plans do not cover elective cosmetic procedures abroad. It's essential to check with your provider about coverage specifics and consider purchasing additional travel insurance that includes medical tourism coverage.

What are the hidden costs associated with traveling for surgery, such as accommodation and transportation?

Beyond the procedure cost, consider expenses like flights, extended accommodation beyond included days, meals, and local transportation. Some packages include hotel stays and airport transfers; however, verify all inclusions beforehand to avoid unexpected costs.

How do I ensure the clinic meets international health and safety standards?

Ensure the clinic is accredited by international bodies like ISAPS or JCI. These accreditations indicate adherence to rigorous safety protocols and high-quality care standards. Visiting the clinic's website or contacting them directly for accreditation details can provide further assurance.

What if I experience complications or need follow-up care once I return home?

If complications arise after returning home, contact your Turkish clinic immediately as many offer virtual follow-up consultations. Additionally, it's wise to arrange for a local healthcare provider who can assist with any urgent post-operative care needs.

Are there any language barriers I might face during my medical trip?

Many clinics in Turkey cater to international patients and have English-speaking staff or translators available. It's advisable to confirm language support services before your trip to ensure clear communication throughout your treatment process.

What should I expect in terms of recovery time after the procedure?

Recovery from abdominal liposuction typically takes 1 to 2 weeks for initial healing, with full recovery taking up to 6 weeks. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort during this period, which should be managed with prescribed medications and wearing a compression garment.

How do I verify the qualifications and experience of the surgeon?

To verify a surgeon's qualifications, check if they are members of recognized organizations like ISAPS or the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Review their credentials, years of experience, and patient testimonials. Many clinics also offer direct consultations where you can discuss the surgeon's expertise.

Is it safe to travel to a Turkish clinic for a medical procedure like belly fat removal?

Turkey is a popular destination for medical tourism due to its accredited facilities and experienced surgeons. Many clinics are certified by international organizations such as ISAPS, ensuring adherence to global safety standards. However, it's crucial to research thoroughly and choose a reputable clinic.

What are the potential risks and complications associated with stomach liposuction?

Abdominal liposuction carries risks such as infection, bleeding, asymmetry, and changes in skin sensation. Rarely, more severe complications like fat embolism or organ damage can occur. It's important to discuss these risks with your surgeon and ensure that they have a plan to manage any potential complications.

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.

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. 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.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
