Ayhan Işık Erdal, MD, FACS, FEBOPRAS

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

Travelling abroad for surgery can feel scary. There are so many things to consider when you’re having surgery in another country, and naturally, you want to know that you’re in safe hands.

I couldn’t have chosen a better surgeon or team. My experience with Dr Ayhan Isik Erdal and his team has been absolutely amazing from beginning to end.

I spent a long time researching different surgeons before deciding to have my breast uplift and implants with Dr Ayhan, and I am so glad that I trusted my instincts and chose him.

From the very beginning, it’s been a completely seamless process. Everything has been well organised, and I was never left wondering what was happening or what I needed to do next. Everything from the airport transfers and hotel to my hospital appointments, blood tests, medication, surgery and follow-up care was arranged for me. It made such a huge difference, especially being away from home, as I could concentrate on my recovery rather than worrying about the practical side of things.

I’ve also been lucky enough to have an amazing recovery, which meant I had the opportunity to explore some beautiful parts of Istanbul during my time there. It was such a lovely bonus to be able to enjoy the city alongside my experience.

I also want to give a special mention to Dr Ipek. She has been absolutely wonderful throughout the entire process. She was always there whenever I had a question and I never felt like I was bothering her. She was incredibly patient, helpful and responsive, and made communication so easy.

Dr Ayhan himself is exceptional. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable, but what stood out to me just as much was how kind and approachable he is. I felt listened to and understood during my consultations, and he took the time to discuss what I wanted rather than making me feel rushed.

He gave me his professional advice on implant sizing, but ultimately left the final decision up to me. I even kept three different implant sizes with me for the night while I thought about it, which allowed me to make a decision I felt completely comfortable with. I felt completely comfortable putting my trust in Dr Ayhan, and I am so happy with the care I received.

Everyone I met was kind, professional and reassuring, and I always felt that I was being looked after properly.

I would recommend Dr Ayhan Isik Erdal without hesitation to anyone considering surgery. He is not only a highly skilled surgeon, but someone who genuinely cares about his patients and the results he provides. I am incredibly grateful to him, Dr Ipek and the whole team for making my experience such a positive one.

Thank you, Dr Ayhan and Dr Ipek for making this experience even better than I could have imagined 🥰

Five stars really don’t feel like enough!

An Exceptional Experience

After months of researching surgeons for my breast uplift and implants, choosing Dr Ayhan Isik Erdal was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

From my very first enquiry, I felt completely looked after. Every single detail was organised to perfection. Airport transfers, hotel, hospital appointments, blood tests, medications, follow-up appointments and aftercare were all planned seamlessly. I never once felt stressed or unsure because the entire process was so well organised.

A huge thank you also goes to Dr Ipek, who coordinated everything. She was absolutely amazing throughout the whole journey. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how big or small, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Her communication was outstanding; she explained everything clearly, translated perfectly, and made me feel completely supported from beginning to end.

Dr Ayhan is not only an incredibly talented surgeon but also a kind, honest and caring person. He took the time to explain everything, listened to what I wanted to achieve, and made me feel completely confident in his care. His professionalism and attention to detail are second to none.

What impressed me most was that every fine detail had been thought of. Nothing was left to chance. Every part of the journey was carefully planned, every question was answered, every member of staff was welcoming and professional, and I always felt like my wellbeing was the priority.

The aftercare has been every bit as impressive as the surgery itself. Even after returning home to the UK, Dr Ayhan and Dr Ipek have continued to check on my recovery, respond quickly to my messages, review my progress and provide reassurance whenever I’ve needed it. I honestly never expected such incredible ongoing support after travelling abroad for surgery.

Travelling to another country for surgery can feel overwhelming, but this team made the whole experience feel effortless. Their organisation, communication, compassion and professionalism were outstanding from start to finish.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Ayhan Isik Erdal and Dr Ipek to anyone considering surgery. They have exceeded every expectation I had, and I will always be grateful for the care, kindness and dedication they showed me.

Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you for changing my life.

Well, let’s put it this way—I’m a very demanding person when it comes to services. Having said that, I rarely leave reviews because I generally prefer not to create additional issues or complications between myself and a service provider. Nevertheless, this time it is truly my pleasure to leave a review because my experience with Dr. Ayhan Isik Erdal was exceptionally organised, pleasant, and satisfying from start to finish.

Communication with the Doctor
I honestly wish that many doctors would take a lesson from Dr. Erdal on how to communicate with patients. The level of professionalism, transparency, and attentiveness was outstanding. Every question was answered thoroughly, and I always felt comfortable and respected throughout the entire process.

Price and Payment
The pricing is very competitive—hands down. Another major advantage is that Dr. Erdal does not require cash payments. Personally, I find cash-only requests from medical providers somewhat concerning, so having transparent and professional payment options added significantly to my confidence and overall positive impression.

Consultation Experience
One detail that really stood out was that Dr. Erdal welcomes you to his beautiful office rather than meeting you in a busy hospital setting. It makes a tremendous difference. You can discuss your concerns in a relaxed atmosphere, ask as many questions as you wish, take photos, and even enjoy a coffee or tea. The entire experience feels personal and unrushed.

Hospital and Surgery
Dr. Erdal has a remarkable ability to make you feel calm and confident. By the time the surgery takes place, you genuinely feel comfortable putting your trust in his hands.

Post-Surgery Care
What impressed me the most was the post-operative care. Every single day after surgery, Dr. Erdal personally visited me at my hotel to check on my recovery. Considering how busy his schedule must be, this level of dedication is absolutely priceless and speaks volumes about his commitment to his patients.
Results

Last but certainly not least, I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my surgery. The results exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier.

Overall Recommendation
To summarise, I highly recommend Dr. Ayhan Isik Erdal to anyone considering plastic surgery in Turkey. From the initial consultation to the final result, the entire experience was professional, comfortable, and reassuring. Trust me—you will not regret your decision.

Associate Professor Erdal is a competent plastic surgeon and a caring person as well as a sound academic. His expertise spans a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures. A skilful touch by Dr. Erdal would be recommended and can last a long time.

I had a mommy makeover and now I have an amazing body thanks to him. The doctor and the team was very kind and helpful. He is the best and changed my life forever!

I had been dealing with back pain for a long time because of my breasts, and it was also something that bothered me a lot aesthetically. However, the idea of surgery really scared me since I have a very low pain tolerance.

But from the very first day, my doctor was so attentive, calm, and reassuring that all my fears disappeared. He patiently explained everything I had on my mind and took great care of me both before and after the operation. I was able to clearly express what I wanted beforehand, and the result turned out exactly as I had hoped.

Now I no longer have any pain. I’m extremely happy with the outcome. I’m so glad our paths crossed, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone. If you have concerns, as I did, don’t hesitate to visit Dr. Ayhan. You’ll probably wish you had met him sooner, just like I do.

Thank you so much for your incredible work and care.

I had a tummy tuck a couple of years ago. It was truly a wonderful experience, and I’m very happy to have met my doctor and gone through this process together. I was very well informed before the surgery, and I was able to reach out anytime I needed afterwards. Even after 2.5 years, I’m still very happy with my results. I would definitely recommend it!

I’ve always trusted his expertise and careful approach. He has a great aesthetic eye and strong surgical skills, and you can really feel his dedication to his work. He communicates with patients in a kind, patient and reassuring way, offering realistic guidance rather than exaggerated promises. You can tell that the comfort and satisfaction of his patients truly matter to him. I sincerely recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring plastic surgeon.
