Tumescent liposuction in Turkey: Reviews from Real Patients

Honestly, the experience was okay. I have been in Istanbul three times for medical surgery, and this was the one who I liked less. The transfer, the hotel, the doctor, the nurses; it was all really good! 😊The main problem was in the guide we had. She didn’t speak good english, she was always on her phone and acted like we were not there. When we asked questions, she didn’t know the answers. In my older experiences, the organizer/communicator knew EVERYTHING! The were empathetic and were really friendly. They were ready for any type of question. This time, i was really disappointed. Besides that, there was a lack of information. They send us home and they gave us some Basic Information on what to do, but Information abouth the wounds, how to take care of them, or how to take the stitches out; the didn’t say anything. So the experience was good! 👍🏼 but it could have been better.

For me, the operation went absolutely perfectly — starting with the service, the preparation, the clinic itself, and the doctor, all the way to the surgery. The aftercare was also perfect, and additional requests were taken into account and fulfilled. I can recommend the clinic, the doctor, and the team without any reservations.

The transfer from the airport was poorly organised. For someone travelling like this for the first time, it's stressful. Apart from that, everything was fine. I can recommend the clinic. The doctor is a very good specialist and a friendly person.

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!

Good afternoon.I recommend the clinic 1000%.the team works like clockwork, support and attention 24/7.Dr Murat Yaman has golden hands, he knows what he is doing.I had abdominoplasty 360, breast lift without implants and Lipo, everything went perfectly.From the moment you arrive at the airport, you get into the caring hands of Oli the interpreter, who is also in her place, she guides you from A to Z, very attentive and efficient, thank her very much! The whole team of the clinic is just super, this is not my last trip to them.I recommend it to everyone and to all beautiful transformation and health!!!!

Я работал с командой людей, которые знали, что делают. Все без исключения справились с работой превосходно. Хорошее общение и поддержка на протяжении всего пребывания. Доктор. Особая благодарность Мустафе . Он работал над моим телом 12 часов без перерыва. Все сотрудники клиники были отзывчивы и внимательны. Я также хотел бы поблагодарить мою помощницу Акылай за ее внимание и профессионализм, очень рекомендую! У меня был сложный случай с лекарственной аллергией и одной почкой, но с их помощью я справился. Я им всем вечно благодарен!

I liked the clinic. Dr Mustafa is a good specialist. The final results of my operation are not yet visible because it is only the 9th day today, but I like what is emerging). The medical staff is very caring, kind and attentive. The period of stay in the clinic is one day, but I think it is not enough, at least 2 days. I really liked the assistant and interpreter Akilai. She is very attentive, she will tell you everything, answer your questions, organise trips to the doctor, to the hospital, to procedures, if there are indications, to the airport. She will give coordinates of supermarkets, ATM, order food to the hotel, if necessary. Everything goes much more calmly and confidently with her. A huge thank you to her 🌺

Many thanks to the experienced doctor Ilker for the wonderful work. Elvina is a wonderful girl who helps us with the translation. And of course professional medical staff for care and concern. I'm glad I chose this clinic. Highly recommend!!! Once again, thank you all very much!!!

This procedure was on my mind for over 3 years, but I was scared shitless to move forward with it since I've heard a number of unfortunate stories. I had blood clotting issue during pregnancy, so I was extremely worried. Thankfully, Bookimed responded all my questions in a timely manner and with care. Calling me "dear" in every sentence was a bit too much for me, but I knew I was being taken care of. I was mostly surprised that all they needed was my flight info to confirm the appointment, not down payment. That made me feel more at ease to know that it was legitimate. Later, I was contacted by the Istanbul Aesthetic Center's liaison, who was fluent in English and explained everything in detail. Dr. Ergin Er suggested a full tummy tuck instead of a mini one to give the best result once he examined in person, and I'm glad that I did. I can barely see the stretch marks and haven't seen my stomach this flat in years. The disappointing part was when I couldn't get the vaser liposuction on my arms because there's not much fat to extract. I thought my arms are huge but apparently not fatty. Instead of operating for just money, I appreciated the doctor for his transparency. He mentioned it would only give a 30% difference, and it wouldn't be worth of getting scars. At least knowing it from a professional inspired me to focus my workout on my arms instead if second guessing "what-if" if I never took this route. Hence, my procedure changed but the price stayed the same since it deducted arms but upgraded to a full tummy tuck. From the airport pick up to the post-operation, everything was well-planned. I was well-taken care by the nurses and the drivers as well. As the liaison mentioned the nurses aren't fluent English speakers but that didn't stop me from being taken care of. I'm still recovering but am very hopeful that the result will be better than I expected.

Hi just wanted to say that everyone were so welcoming, caring and gentle. It’s my first experience in cosmetic surgery I did low belly fat liposuction and breast reduction, it’s my first time here in Turkey, I came alone but not for a moment I felt alone. The medical team is truly incredible, Dr. Ergin Er and so caring and very attentive through the way he speaks with me, the advice, his honesty, it even made me have more confidence in myself. This intervention was very important for me he is an excellent doctor thank you very much Dr. The welcome from the entire Clinic was warm. The nurses are very gentle, even with the language barrier. The day nurses were great, My night nurse Ayse was a rare gem, very attentive, very empathetic, thank you very much Ayse. 🫶🏽 Thank you to the amazing women the nurse Merve ❤️who did my drainage lymphatic massage, she came to the hotel to do it, she helped me a looooot she is so gentle, she is the best!! After a liposuction it’s very the best combination to heal after just 1 massage I was feeling so much better I did 5 massage in all because I had to go back home but this massage reduced my oedema so quickly thank you so much. Thank you very much for the organization, my coordinator Beatriz Ramos was so lovely she helped me a lot sometimes I was so anxious but she always were available for me while answering my questions. Whether with the driver who came to pick me up from the airport, the hotel, the translator Dileke. I recommend this clinic at 100%. ☺️💐

Good day to all. Many thanks to Dr. Nakan Teimur for his professionalism and highly qualified work, and his entire well-coordinated and well-organized team of Dr Med, working as one complex mechanism. During my entire stay here, I was surrounded by attention and care, received a variety of information, care and support. Special thanks to my coordinator Akylai. By entrusting yourself to this team, you are in competent and professional hands. Thank you very much to all of you.

Overall everything is good. I didn’t like the fact that I had to wait a long time for the doctor during appointments. Also, the medical staff hardly speaks English. Only Turkish. Because of this, I could not sleep at night after the operation. Because they didn't understand what I was telling them about my problem. There is also absolute audibility at night between the corridor and the wards. Many thanks to Akilay (my coordinator). A very attentive and sensitive girl. I liked the hotel. Corresponds to the declared status and price. The staff is qualified. Overall the organization is good. Thanks everyone.

I liked everything. I really want to thank the team who helped throughout the entire treatment. Narmina and Muhlise are excellent helpers. Always supported and motivated. I was greeted by a luxurious luxury transfer. The service at the clinic is excellent. Then the hotel is good. I am very glad that I chose Dr. Hakana Teymura. He is very attentive and professional in his field. His energy gave me no reason to worry at all. I just trusted and got a good result. I'll send you photos of my perfect belly soon. I will be happy to recommend this clinic to my friends and acquaintances. Thank you very much for everything and for my beauty. See you soon!!!

I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr. MED for my perfect tummy tuck, 360 liposuction, and arm liposuction procedures, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very first consultation to the final follow-up visit, Dr. MED and his female assistants made me feel incredibly comfortable and confident in my decision. The clinic and the Doctor was proposed to me by a Bookimed platform and I want to thank them too! Dr. is not only a skilled surgeon but also a compassionate and attentive professional. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the procedures, address all my concerns, and ensure I understood what to expect. His expertise and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the fantastic outcome of my surgeries. I feel like a brand new person, more confident and satisfied with my body than I have ever been. The lovely team of female assistants deserves special recognition as well. They were always kind, supportive, and ready to help with any questions or needs I had throughout the process. Their warm and friendly demeanour made the entire experience so much more pleasant. Additionally, the hotel provided for my recovery was top-notch. The staff there took great care of me, ensuring I had a comfortable and relaxing stay while I healed. It was truly a home away from home, where I could rest and recover with peace of mind. I will definitely come back to Dr. MED for any future procedures and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. and his amazing team to anyone considering plastic surgery. Their exceptional care and dedication to their patients are second to none. Thank you, Dr. MED, for giving me the confidence and the results I’ve always dreamed of!

Thanks a lot to Ouzgun and his assistant Sultanat, they won't stop you alone. The doctor is young but professional. There are questions about the staff (nurses). Management needs to sort things out. In principle, the clinic is not bad, for an average pocket it will pull 5.
