Penile implant surgery in Turkey: Reviews from Real Patients

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.

I had my penile implant surgery at Men’s Health Clinic and the whole process went very smoothly. All the team was good and the organization almost perfect. Most of my questions were answered quickly and precisely. The only negative aspect I want to mention to keep others from having the same exoerience: I lost almost 4cm in length due to some special anatomy reasons, as I understand it and by now I am very happy with my implant but still a bit sad about every cm I lost, especially because nobody had told me before that this will/would/could happen. 5 points because I completely trust the whole team, especially Dr. Mete who was my actual surgeon as I found out and for those of you who are length-lovers, I would recommend some good information gathering beforehand! By now I found out, that the Coloplast implant does NOT grow in lenth, as the AMS does. An important information I had wisehd to have BEFORE.

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!

I recently underwent a procedure for my deviated septum, and I am beyond thrilled with the results! I can finally breathe with ease, and the whole experience has been life-changing. The surgeon was absolutely amazing—so humble, professional, and incredibly skilled. The results speak for themselves, and I’m so grateful for the excellent job he did. I also want to highlight the fantastic support from Bookimed and their team. Maria, my coordinator, was exceptional. She was attentive, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. The entire process was seamless, and I felt well taken care of every step of the way. Hisar Hospital was another highlight—clean, modern, and with a team of incredible nurses and staff who made sure I was comfortable and well-informed throughout my recovery. I could not have asked for a better experience. Bookimed is super reliable, and I highly recommend their services. If you’re considering this procedure, don't hesitate to reach out to them. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

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 :)

I would like to express my utmost satisfaction with my recent penile prosthesis surgery. The procedure was carried out with exceptional professionalism, precision, and patient-centered care. I extend my sincere gratitude to my physician and the entire medical team for their dedication and high standards, which greatly contributed to my comfort and confidence throughout the process.

The patience and professionalism of the medical staff, the attentive support from the translator, the welcoming environment of the clinic, everything was truly exceptional! I wholeheartedly recommend VMH hospitals for their outstanding services."

Dr. Oukhzan Parlakkylych is a very professional doctor, a kind and sympathetic person. I liked it all very much. I recommend this doctor to everyone. The employees of the company are also very good. Great service. Everyone is happy. I recommend Medical Promise to everyone. The translator Ihsan helped me a lot, very friendly. No problems, everything was resolved quickly and clearly.

I advise you to review this distinguished health institution because of the experience of its medical staff, under the supervision of the professor in the operation room, and most importantly of all, the care and attention after the operation, providing free treatment, distinguished reception, distinguished accommodation, and ensuring your safe return to my homeland. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I recommend this institution, but who needs this? Type of treatments

It was a very satisfactory experience and two weeks after the operation I was very happy with the evaluation, I only have two small complaints of not having a translator to have better communication with the doctors and they did not give me advice about the operation and many doubts I had about them in writing and I have to say that the surgeons were very professional and I would give them the maximum score.

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 !!!

It's been great.
