I can confirm that I am really happy with my decision and resultsSevda, UK, 15 03 23I had a breast reduction with Dr Sedat, as an international patient.
My biggest fear was being botched, after hearing and seeing all the news about the botched patients from Turkey, I was worried. however I researched well and after Eliminating the few doctors I had in mind I decided to go with Dr. sedat
I researched Dr Sedat Tatar and his clinic months before contacting him. I then started to follow his social media pages. Being from Turkish origin. I knew he was qualified from a good university, I confirmed that he was a legitimate doctor, and he was continuously developing his practice.
I got in touch via Instagram and WhatsApp. Communication was easy and straightforward.
I liaised my initial concerns, gave my personal information and sent some pictures.
at first glance, I was advised that; I was a good fit for surgery but this will ultimately be confirmed: once I had some test done. Then, the fee was agreed, I paid a deposit to confirm that I was coming and so that the theatre room was booked accordingly.
Communication continued until I flew out to Turkey
I flew to Istanbul's new airport on the European side from London stanstead.
We had our transfer waiting for us just outside of the airport, ( I can’t recall his name, but he was very polite)
The transfer vehicle gave the trip a luxurious feel from the get go.
We were dropped off to the hotel, again all the staff were so polite and kind. The hotel in itself was amazing. We paid for our hotel stay and the next morning we were invited to the “liv hospital” to do obs, this is to confirm that I was fit for surgery.
The hotel and hospital are located in a prime location of Istanbul known as “Vadi”, they are in walking distance in between each other, along with a shopping center where you can literally buy anything if needed.
Moving forward, a day or two later I checked in to hospital, did my Covid test, paper work, paid what was left to the nurses and had my operation. Dr sedat and his staff were very reassuring, professional and friendly. All my question pre and post op were answered.
I can not recommend them enough. I waited 5 months to post my review, but I can confirm that I am really happy with my decision and results.
My scars are fading away, I know they will always be there but Dr Sedat, has done an amazing job, hence they are not very visible.
My chest size is not to big and not to small, it’s a perfect match for my body proportions.
The recovery process was easier than I expected, pain was minimal. And I was back behind my computer for work within 10 days..
I chose to have my surgery aboard as there was no way I could afford it privately in the UK. Nor could I afford to wait on the NHS.
I will not disclose the price as I know they are subject to change, but I can confirm it was a fraction of the price in comparison to what you would pay in London.
I believe I got my moneys worth in terms of travel, accommodation and treatment. Dr Sedat was not the cheapest of my options, but I found him to be the most reliable and reasonable.
5 months post-op, if I have any questions even though I have returned, the nurses always get back to me.
I am now comfortable enough to wear shirts and tops without the odd look. I know I can choose whether I want to look sexy, elegant or classy, I no longer depend on oversized or baggy clothing.
Overall my experience was a 10/10 would highly recommend.
