Everything was very smooth
Everything was very smooth. The Bookimed coordinator, Tatyana, was very informative, present, and patient; she did her best to reassure me and answer all my questions. I am still in early recovery from my revision rhinoplasty, but I'm feeling better than expected. The main issue was correcting a crooked nose but I also had a septoplasty for better breathing and a tip plasty for cosmetic reasons. The surgeon who personally handled my consultation and surgery took the time to explain what went wrong with my previous procedure and was honest about what realistic results I could expect. Aftercare has been good. The clinic has stayed in touch, provided a clear aftercare guide, and is easy to reach. There were also no additional expenses on top of what I paid the clinic. My advice for anyone considering this is to always ask if they can provide free accommodation. One last thing, massive thank you to Gia for translating everything and looking after me.

All in all was very impressed
During my consultation, the surgeon and I discussed what results would best suit my specific facial symmetry. This set the tone for the entire process. I didn't have any expectations and all in all was very impressed. I went alone which can make one feel more vulnerable but I was well taken care of and extended a lot of grace for my forgetfulness. My procedure was on both upper eyelids, and while it's too early to tell the final outcome, I can confirm there were no additional expenses. Everything was clear. For anyone considering this, I think it's important to ask about adapting your expectations to your specific uniqueness and go in asking about results that would best suit you.

My Coordinator was EXCELLENT! She was knowledgeable and helped me with every detail from transportation to hotel accommodations to restaurants to shopping
If you're considering under-eye fillers, here’s my practical take on the process. The planning was very smooth. My "Coordinator was EXCELLENT! She was knowledgeable and helped me with every detail from transportation to hotel accommodations to restaurants to shopping." The doctor was meticulous, injecting carefully and slowly while checking for symmetry. It is too early to tell the final result. One thing to be aware of is the language dynamic. "Most of the staff was bilingual; however, the doctor was not so this required nursing staff translation. I would have been more comfortable if the doctor answered my questions directly versus using a translator. This was just a preference. It did not minimize the excellent treatment that was provided. I definitely plan to return for services and will be prepared by learning conversational Spanish." A key tip: understand prices are per syringe, so the final cost is determined on-site. I had no additional expenses. Paying with cash is cheaper, but not all local ATMs dispense US dollars.

I'm very happy with my result
If you're looking into getting an eyebrow transplant, finding a team that listens is so important. What stood out for me was that the surgeon actually drew the new eyebrow shape with me before we began, making sure we agreed on the final look. The entire staff was great. In my own words, The clinik its very good.professional person and very gently. I'm still in the early recovery phase, but I feel very positive. Im very happy with my result.i live it. It's the kind of care that makes me feel that in the future when I need i return sure. As for things that could be better, there was Notting negative. The clinic has also been supportive since, staying in touch and giving me a clear aftercare guide.

I can confidently recommend it to anyone planning to have moles, growths or other unwanted skin lesions removed
I am very pleased with Bookimed’s service. A coordinator supported me over several months, helping me choose a clinic. That’s how we chose Saero Clinic in Seoul. Before the operation, I had a video consultation with the doctors, during which we discussed all the details at length.The clinic itself turned out to be modern and comfortable, and the staff were very attentive and friendly. The operation went smoothly, and afterwards I attended regular check-ups to monitor the healing process. I went to this clinic to have a growth removed from my face and was very pleased with the result. I can confidently recommend it to anyone planning to have moles, growths or other unwanted skin lesions removed.

My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence
If you're thinking about this, my main piece of advice is to be mentally ready for the procedure, as it can be overwhelming. I’m in early recovery from my breast reduction and lift, and I am feeling better than expected. My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence. The clinic team was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Do be aware of some additional expenses – I had a prescription that cost extra at the pharmacy. A few practical tips: bring a spare compression garment, cotton t-shirts to wear underneath it, and your own snacks. Also, having my mum with me has been pivotal to my recovery, so I'd suggest bringing a companion if you can.
The co-ordinator at Bookimed, Winnington was brilliant. No matter how many questions I had he was able to answer them promptly and with one small hiccup from the hospital Winnington went out of his way to try and package a new procedure for me. My co-ordinator Eyyub at Optimed hospital was outstanding. The hospital was great, the staff on my floor were fantastic. We used goggle translate when the co-ordinator wasn’t with us if we came up against a language barrier but that was not very often. I was cared for before and after my surgery by the nursing staff who could not do enough for myself and my mum. I 10000000% recommend Bookimed & Optimed hospital
Post op instructions could be better. I have suggested to them to put together a general guide of what to do and not to do and for however long. What’s normal and if something doesn’t feel right who to contact etc. I think this will greatly help international patients and help the hospital co-ordinators from being hounded with a load of questions from several patients all at once. Peace of mind for the patient and a little more support for the co-ordinator. The food is catered for Turkish patients and can be hard for international patients to eat. Again, I have suggested to them to try having a small box of fibrous cereal available at breakfast time and instead of a full meal at lunch time something simple like sandwiches or rolls/bagels/baked goods. Dinner was usually ok and we were able to eat most of that but our daytime diet is a little less than they were providing and there was a lot of food waste which they could minimise & use the money elsewhere if there was a cater to international patients diets.

It’s been reassuring how the clinic has stayed in touch and been easy to reach
Since you were asking about my experience, here are a few things to know. The procedure was for both my upper and lower eyelids, performed with the traditional scalpel technique. I’m still in early recovery, but I feel better than I thought I would. It’s been reassuring how the clinic has stayed in touch and been easy to reach. Everything was included in the price. The one thing I'd suggest, especially for non-Korean patients, is to make a list and ask every single question you have before arrival.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone
From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone. Memorial Hospital is not a hospital, it is a home where staff members look after a patient with a warm heart. My mommy makeover included a tummy tuck, breast work, and liposuction on two areas, and it was important that Dr. Demir personally checked on me after the surgery. The only thing that could be better is if nurses spoke more English, especially for post-op care. The clinic is easy to reach. I am very grateful.
From my bottom heart I would like to thank you everyone,start from whatsapp consultant, clinic coordinators, nurse, hotel and big thank you a Dr.Demir.All of you were amazing in every way.I would choose you again and again.Memorial hospital is not only a hospital, it is a home where all staff members look after a patient with warm heart.I am very greatful for everything.❤️❤️❤️
Nurses at the hospital could speak english more especialy post- opp care.

While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already
My main concern before traveling was getting a result that didn't look like me. My surgeon was fantastic in addressing this; he was honest about realistic outcomes for my age, carefully examined my facial structure, and showed photos of similar patients. We agreed on a deep plane facelift for my face only. While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already. It's gonna be perfect after the swelling settles down. My one critique is that I would have loved to get some more specific and detailed info on the techniques. Getting my whole medical report would have been nice. On a practical note, there were no additional expenses. My advice for anyone considering this: take your time and trust the process. Be prepared for some facelift blues and buyer's remorse during your initial recovery—it's part of it.

All the staff members made me feel very comfortable
All the staff members made me feel very comfortable. As I traveled on my own, I felt well cared for and looked after in the clinic, and the included hotel was basic but nice. The procedure went well. I was initially a bit unsure about the schedule for my follow-up appointments, but the team checked on me daily through WhatsApp, which was reassuring. My surgeon explained why the transconjunctival technique, leaving no visible scar, was the right choice for me, and the surgery was performed under local anesthesia with sedation. So far, my recovery is going about as expected. One piece of advice: bring a V-pillow. The clinic only mentioned I'd need to sleep upright on the day, and having one made my hotel stay much more comfortable.

My coordinator was very helpful and reassuring, and the nurses are all lovely and attentive
My coordinator was very helpful and reassuring, and the nurses are all lovely and attentive. The doctor does nice, neat work. However, I feel the doctor doesn't always listen to requests, which I think is due to a language barrier. While he did the consultation and markings for my type of arm lift personally, my specific input on how much to take wasn't fully followed. The biggest issue is that the recommended stay is not nearly enough time; this caused a lot of stress and extra expense. On a positive note, the clinic's support afterward was solid, with a clear aftercare guide and being easy to reach.
I feel the co ordinator was very helpful and reassuring The doctor does nice neat work The nurses are all very lovely and attentive
The doctor doesn't always listen to your requests I think due to language barrier The initial consultation/co ordinator needs to be saying at least 10 to 14 days as 8 is not enough and caused a lot of stress and extra expense

The assistants and the doctors were great, clear explanations, details
The assistants and the doctors were great, clear explanations, details. The care from the assistant before operation and after, the next day it was great. However, the grab taxis for consultations were not very comfortable—not spacious, not comfortable, old tapestry, smell inside, which made us feel annoyed before surgery when already nervous and irritated. When we came back for post-operative checking we already made an appointment but in the end we had to wait 2 hours more from the appointed hour.
