My experience with Dr. Guray’s nose surgery is fantastic!
I’ll try to provide a detailed review to make the decision easier for others.
This was my first nose surgery. I didn’t have a serious issue with my nose, but at one point, I decided I wanted a change.
I came across the doctor’s profile, looked at pictures, and even though there weren’t many nose surgeries posted, something inside told me that he could do what I wanted. The fact that there wasn’t too much marketing also attracted me because sometimes less is more, and it shows that he doesn’t have to prove he’s the best every second. This approach really appealed to me.
I didn’t look into other doctors or research; I just tried to read reviews about him. I couldn’t find anything negative, only positive reviews. Maybe there were a few, but sometimes it doesn’t mean the doctor is at fault.
I contacted them and got an assistant who spoke Serbian, which was helpful because I’m from Macedonia. My assistant, Oğuzhan, helped with everything, explained everything, and was available 24/7. Even if I had a concern at 2 a.m., he would respond and explain everything. I got an appointment for two weeks later.
Everything we agreed on before the surgery was fulfilled exactly and on time.
I was alone, with no one with me, and I wasn’t scared at all. It was completely safe, organised, and secure. I simply trusted that everything would be fine and that I was in good hands.
I traveled the day before the surgery, and I had a private transfer from the airport. For every transfer, including the one from the hospital back to the airport, they were always on time and never late by a minute. The great thing is that for a single patient, they take you directly to the airport, so you don’t waste your whole day waiting.
The hotel was Mercur, and I have nothing but praise for the entire team. The hotel staff is incredibly kind, and they treat patients very well. Since I was alone, they brought me ice, cleaned the room twice, and always brought me water, fruit, coffee, and tea.
The price included breakfast, which was excellent with a wide variety of choices. The restaurant staff was very kind and patient with all the patients of Vanity. They did everything they could to be available, and even though every patient was constantly taking ice, they were always extremely polite.
The day I arrived, the Vanity Clinic team was having Iftar dinner at the restaurant. My assistant greeted me, and through the glass, I saw my doctor. When I saw him, I knew everything would be okay because this man radiates positivity, kindness, and energy. When you see him, you feel secure – it’s incredible.
Before the surgery, I had blood tests, analyses, an echo, etc. The clinic is excellent, with the highest standards. The hygiene is top-notch, and the interior is beautiful. The staff at the clinic is incredibly kind and so understanding that it doesn’t feel real.
I also met Bahar, the doctor’s assistant. She’s very kind, refined, and always ready to answer any questions. During the blood test, she was with me, had a short chat, and made me feel like everything would go perfectly.
Before the surgery, I had a consultation with the doctor, explained what I wanted, and showed a picture. When I spoke with him, I knew everything would be fine because it was immediately clear that he is confident in his work. After the surgery, I was okay.
I have very sensitive skin, and after the surgery, I had a strange reaction. My eyes were red and swollen, but they told me that it’s normal, and it happens to about 1 in 10 patients, and it happened to me.
They have top-notch staff. I spent one night in the hospital, and during that night, I was visited by at least 15 nurses who came in constantly to change the ice, check if I was okay. The food in the hospital was also tasty, and the hygiene was excellent. They cleaned three times.
I had a huge room with two bathrooms, two TVS, and an additional small living room, so if anyone stayed with me, they could sleep there.
My whole surgery and post-op care were excellent. The doctor visited me in the evening after the surgery and also came in the morning to see me before I left the hospital.
During my stay at the hotel, they were also in touch with me, providing recommendations, helping with medications, and answering any questions.
Even after I returned home, the clinic continued to stay in touch with me and follow my recovery process, making sure I was doing well and answering any questions I had.
I have no negative comments about this clinic and the entire team.
Six days after the surgery, I went to have the cast removed. I was very swollen and couldn’t see the final result yet, but I knew my nose was straight and the tip was exactly what I wanted. Now, after just two weeks post-op, the bruising and redness are gone, and while I’m still swollen, I can already see that I love my nose.
I’m extremely satisfied with everything. Everything was as we discussed, and the whole team and doctors met all of my expectations. I already love my nose, but I can’t wait for the swelling to go down and to see the final result.
Even after I got back home, they continued to follow up with me to ensure my recovery was going well.
