Post Bariatric Plastic Surgery Sisli

I travelled to Istanbul Bariatric Centre in October 2018. Having done lots of research prior to making my final decision. I chose Dr Murat Ustun to perform my gastric sleeve after reading lots of reviews but also looking at his medical history as well as his qualifications. I was nervous about flying out to Istanbul on my own. But as soon as I arrived I was made to feel at ease and knew then I had made the right choice for me. I stayed in a hotel the night prior to surgery which was included in my package. The following morning I was collected and taken to the hospital where I was greeted by the lovely Demet one of Dr Murat’s assistants. She helped me fill in my forms and showed me to my room. My hospital room was spotless and super clean. I had my own private bathroom and tv. I met with Dr Murat prior to surgery we discussed again why I wanted to have my surgery. He explained about all my tests which would be carried out prior to having my surgery that afternoon. My tests included ECG, chest X-ray, full blood, ultrasound and endoscopy. Again all the tests were included in my package. I also met my two nurses who were wonderful and helped me settle in my room and I also met my anaesthetist who was lovely and really reassuring. I spent 3 days and nights in the hospital and was looked after very well by everyone. Upon discharge, I was taken another hotel to rest for a further 3 days before flying home. I decided to go off sightseeing which was organised by one of Dr Murat’s assistants. I had 2 wonderful days sightseeing such a beautiful place. I came home with all my discharge notes and also medication to be taken for 10 days after surgery. I feel the care and attention is second to none. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr Murat Ustun to anyone seeking to have surgery done in Istanbul.

The surgery was as expected and I'm pleased with the results, they're really good. The facilities at the hospital were very nice and clean. Prior to the treatment the staff were very accommodating and gave me all the information I needed. Afterwards I had to try to get in touch with them several times, their aftercare could be better, but I've had all questions answered eventually. The translator on site was very helpful and kind, her English was very good and she was really friendly. The transfers between the airport, the clinic and hospital were always there for me when I needed. The concierge service was very helpful and I enjoyed the process. It gave a great sense of comfort knowing there was someone else there who could give me information or help just in case I needed someone.

My experience at Ersin Gonullu Clinic was wonderful. Dr Ersin and his team proved their professionalism before and after surgery. I got all the answers that I needed and their help. I gladly recommend Dr Ersin.

I first came across Dr Gokhan on Instagram and was astounded at the before and after results. I immediately booked and scheduled my surgery and booked my flight 3 days before surgery for my first in office consultation. I informed one of my good friends I would be doing surgery in Istanbul and she immediately booked her surgery on the same day after seeing his photos. Not only is his work unbelievable, but he is the most ethical, kind and respectable doctor in the industry and the prices are extremely reasonable. I had previously been told by another doctor in Turkey that I would need a tummy tuck but I had a completely flat stomach, with no excess skin! I told Dr Gokhan this and he was shocked another doctor would recommend this for me as I am a petite and very fit girl. I only wanted a more sculpted look and the remaining fat transferred to my face. The surgery was a breeze, the hospital was 5 star. The nurses were so sweet (one of them did not speak much English but we soon developed a bond and she became my favourite nurse). Recovery for me was quite effortless but I think that is because I did not have much fat to start with and I’m a health and fitness freak. (I think this affects people’s healing and recovery immensely). It was such a wonderful experience for myself and my friend we will soon be back to see the doctor. We had laughs with him the whole time. He is the only plastic surgeon we will allow to touch our face and body from now on. Me and my best friend went out to dinner on the 4th day after our surgery (she had rhinoplasty, buccal fat removal and liposuction). Though we were uncomfortable and bit tired, we still managed to sit through a 4 hour dinner. It’s been 9 days and I can already see my abs and obliques contoured! I’m a tiny bit sore, but I feel that in another week and my swelling will have completely disappeared after some massage. Thank you Doctor you made our dreams come true! Very modern and clean.
