Post-Bariatric Plastic Surgery Levent

I undergo a rhinoplasty operation and I like how this looks now. My husband really helps me a lot when in turkey. All the things were nice and great. LOTS OF LOVE.

My Coordinator was Cleo Tayfun. From my first contact, she was able to build a foundation of trust. I asked questions freely. Detailed answers were provided. I had a video consultation with Dr Hakan Demirel. Apart from my personal research and gut feeling about the procedure, clinic and Doctor, Cleo was able to make me feel comfortable with my decision to go with Dr Hakan Demirel and I did not feel any pressure at all. My offer came with personalised details about the procedure and package plan in Turkey. Although I felt a bit of time pressure to secure the price offered to me, this was also handled very well when I discussed it. I had my Surgery August 2023 and Cleo was able to secure my chosen date. I expressed concern about the timelines (drain removal, massage) and she was able to provide solutions that eased my concerns. In Turkey, I was picked up by the assigned Taxi company on arrival. My Personal Assistant (Omer) helped with pre-op processes at the hospital and accompanied me to the Hotel. All the staff at the hospital were professional. Omer helped translate all conversations. I had a consultation with my Anaesthesiologist, and she seemed very competent and experienced. I was able to ask her questions about the medication to be used, my concerns, and she explained everything to me. Patient health was prioritized as she told me to inform her if I experienced any cold symptoms before my appointment. Going into Surgery and Post-Surgery, I felt even more comfortable because the Nurse assigned to me could speak a little English. They were kind & professional. I would say I was polite and also extended kind remarks to the staff as I believe you should treat people the way you want them to treat you. I asked questions every step of the way about the medications being administered to my IV. All the staff in the operating room were really kind. Hospital facilities 10/10 (Istanbul Onkoloji Hastanesi). When I woke up, Omer was there with me, my Doctor also came in to address me. Due to shift changes, I had a night nurse that was not particularly careful in handling my drains and caused me some pain. There was a man who was a Nursing Assistant, a bit older, who really showed care. He came to check up on me quite frequently to see if I was eating, sleeping well or if I needed anything. He also escorted me when I was leaving the hospital. I was very comfortable with Doctor Hakan and his private nurse, hospital staff and facilities, Omer, hotel and the Clinic Wise Nurse at the Hotel who visited every evening (with bottles of water for me 😊) till I left Turkey. Although most of the nursing staff did not speak English, we were able to communicate well with Google Translate App. I went alone for the surgery and was well cared for. All garments, medications were provided and I did not have to make any purchase. Now 3 months post-op, I am grateful I had a smooth experience. Still waiting to see my final results but most of my swelling already subsided. Based on my personal experience, I would 100% recommend Clinic Wise and Doctor Hakan Demirel. Clinic Wise AfterCare team seems a bit delayed with responses. I also think when you return to your base, its more like the rest is up to you. Your concerns would of course be forwarded to your Doctor but at that point, I think they will only offer advice and you will have to pursue treatment at your GP if any issue arises. Again, I am thankful for a smooth journey and will wait to see the final look of things. Improvement areas Patients should be given another discussion consultation session (maybe 30 mins) with Doctor in-person before surgery to agree on desired result (shape, size etc.). Consultation with Doctor on Surgery Day felt a bit rushed. I had hoped that there will be enough time and room to discuss my concerns with fat transfer in detail and Doctor could patiently advise on the specifics. I felt like I needed to make a quick decision on the spot. Nevertheless, I will make the same choice again.

I'm going to tell you about my journey in Istanbul, I've wanted to do my liposuction 360 and also on my legs for years, but I was very afraid. Meanwhile, I started researching clinics and my cousin recommended this clinic to me because she had had breast implants 1 year ago. I contacted the doctor and started with questions and my fears about what it was going to be like. He was always helpful, very available for everything. Always very attentive to each detailed response. After several message exchanges. I bought my ticket and sent all the proof. 3 days before he contacted me with more details about my arrival and transfer. When I arrived at the airport, the intermediary was already waiting for me, in fact he had already called and so had the Doctor. The intermediary spoke to the driver and they took me to the airport hotel, a 25-minute journey. Upon arrival at the hotel I was very well received, after 10 minutes the doctor was already with me asking me how the trip was and asking if I needed anything. The next day I had breakfast and the doctor was waiting for me to go to the hospital. At the hospital they did all the tests, as soon as the results came back they went ahead with the operation. When I woke up it was very cold and I was dizzy, I came alone. But I never felt alone. The doctor stayed with me until he was sure I was okay. The nurses and the entire medical team were impeccable and very helpful. I even had the right to a warm soup 😊. Next day after breakfast the medical team spent the whole night watching me taking my temperature to see how I was feeling. They started to encourage me to walk because that was the only way I would feel better and recover faster. The doctor picked me up and once again made sure I was ok, walked with me, held all my bags and the driver took us to the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel he brought me juice water, it was impeccable. I'm very grateful for that. Next day he came in the morning, brought breakfast. He checked and removed the stitches, and allowed the bath. After the bath, I felt much better. He still waited for me to finish because he was afraid I would get dizzy. Today, December 22nd, he came back to check how I was doing, making sure I didn't put on the straps correctly, he gave me all the tips related to food, massages and everything I needed to know to see an even better result. And he even gave me valuable tips on places to visit. I forgot to mention that today I was already feeling really well without any pain, in fact, it was during the post-operative period that I felt pain. He informed me about the driver's schedule for tomorrow as it was the day to return home. Sorry for the long text but it's to make you feel comfortable if you want to come. Well, I don't regret anything. I came alone but I never I felt alone. Thank you Doctor Hakan Aksoy for everything he did for me. 🙏💜 I’m Portuguese

Amazing experience! From booking my mommy makeover to the hotel stay and everything in between, I can’t fault a thing. FlyHealth UK and Dr. Banu, along with her team, were incredibly caring. I’m returning this year for my second round of surgery and have complete confidence that I’ll be well cared for again. Thank you so much for truly changing my life!

Dr Ozge and team were amazing. A disciplined and sincere approach was the key for my decision. My facelift surgery took around 3 hours and needed to stay in the hospital 2 nights Recovery was smooth and left back to Germany after 6 days with small bruises on the neck and under eyes Best decision since I turned to 50. I recommend him for the people who are looking for a decent surgeon who knows what he is doing in the most possible realistic way.

The entire process was easy. Communication via WhatsApp with the doctor and his team was great. They replied really quickly to any questions or queries. The balloon insertion procedure went well. Quick process. I feel I was given all the information I needed for post-installation recovery.

Extremely satisfied!!! Me and my sister agree that choosing Dr. Tamer Sakrak for our nose surgeries was the best decision we made!
