SMILE Eye Surgery Kagithane

This is the second time and my husband has visited Dr Gorkem Astal. Last year we both had upper and lower blepharoplasty. The results are outstanding and subsequently, we decided to embark on a journey that for a long time we had only discussed. For us these weren't decisions made on a whim but rather a thoughtful process aimed at feeling more confident and comfortable in our own skin. I underwent a deep plane face and neck lift, while my husband had a hair transplant. We would like to take this opportunity to share our experiences to help others who might be considering a similar or the same procedure. I had been noticing signs of ageing on my face and neck that no amount of skin care or at-home treatments could address. After extensive research, I decided that a deep plane face and neck lift was the option for me. The deep plane technique was explained to me by Dr Gorkem Astal. This repositions the deeper tissues and muscles to the face, resulting in a more natural and long-lasting result compared to traditional lifts. The consultation process was crucial to discuss my goals and I made sure to choose someone who specialised in this specific technique and with whom I had total trust in. The day of the surgery was a mix of excitement and nerves. The procedure was performed under general anaesthesia. The recovery was manageable, I experienced swelling and bruising and slight discomfort but the pain was controlled with medication. The results one week on have been remarkable. The swelling is subsiding and I am thrilled to bits with how natural my face is looking. I now have a jawline and my neck is smoother and my overall appearance is refreshed and rejuvenated without looking pulled. I has truly boosted my self-confidence and I am so pleased I chose this procedure and Dr Gorkem Astal and his professional, attentive team. My Husband had been dealing with hair loss for a number of years, which had a significant impact on his self-esteem. He decided to undergo a hair transplant a procedure that involved harvesting hair from a dense area to the balding area. His procedure was a follicular unit extraction (FUE), which is known for a less invasive recovery and no scarring. His experience from consultation to recovery was very different from mine. The procedure was done under local anaesthesia and he was awake for the entire time. He said it was a long day but not painful just a little uncomfortable at times, especially sleeping, he has minor swelling and redness and the donor area was a little sore for a few days but he is now getting back to normal. His results are still in the process of becoming fully apparent, as hair growth takes time; however,he is already seeing new growth and his hairline looks incredibly natural. He is thrilled with the process so far and is already starting to feel more confident. It was helpful to have each other for support and understanding. We have learned that these decisions are deeply personal and finding the right doctor and also having realistic expectations are the key to a positive outcome. We are both very happy with our decisions and the results we have. If you are considering having cosmetic surgery, we hope our story provides a bit of insight and encouragement. I cannot rate Dr Gorken Astal and his dedicated team enough. They arrange everything for you, support you constantly and you don't have to worry about transfers or accommodation; the accommodation was exceptional.

If there were a 10-star rating, this place would definitely get it. Like everyone else, I thought it was scary and was unsure if it was safe to have surgery abroad. But this feeling subsided as soon as I met the driver who picked me up. Doctor Ersin is truly a surgeon who takes you seriously and takes the time to listen to you. Both before and after the surgery, I felt that I was in safe hands and well taken care of. I have bad experiences waking up after anaesthesia. I took this up and have never had such a pleasant awakening. He has a fantastic team around him, from those who wait for and welcome you at the hospital and help you with everything from paperwork to other things you need and not least are in the hospital with you day and night in case you need anything and follow you to the hotel and ensure that everything is taken care of for your safety. Many thanks to Burak, who was with me all the way and to this young girl who was in the hospital room by my side the whole first night after the operation, whose name I don't remember. I would also like to thank the wonderful nurses Fatma, Eda and Aleyna and others whose names I unfortunately cannot remember now, who visited me morning and evening throughout my stay and always responded immediately to my messages. Thank you very much! I have already told many people about my wonderful stay and will continue to recommend you.

I am a doctor who is working with the NHS in the UK. I am 43 years old and had myopia for 34 years. I also had astigmatism and presbyopia for the past two years. My myopia was around -7.5 and my presbyopia was near + 1 for both eyes. I was struggling to read books and also in my work. On top of that, I started having headaches. I had used contact lenses but it was quite cumbersome to use. Even though a doctor, I thought that LASIK was only for myopia and my eyes won't fit in for that. This was partly due to a doctor's advice 10 years before I got that LASIK only works for myopes. But I found more information from the internet and I checked the prices in the UK and it was quite high. I found out that similar procedures were available in Eastern Europe and Turkey. I found a few clinics from the what-if clinic website. Nisantasi had contacted me through one of their representatives in the UK who gave me quite reliable information about the different types of LASIK. I was soon convinced about the procedure and the doctor because the person who gave me the information had undergone LASIK at Nisantasi. That was quite reassuring for me although my friends in the UK tried to dissuade me due to uncertainty of medical treatment in Turkey. But I made up my mind as the information provided to me was more than marketing. Even though it was covid the hospital was much concerned about my arrival. I had a smooth landing in Turkey and I was astonished by the hospital which displayed state of the art cleanliness. I do agree that only a few of them could handle fluent English. But they were quite efficient in relaying necessary information and getting consent from me. The eye doctor, Oktay Kumral, was a very cool person who made me feel at ease and to my surprise, he had practised ophthalmology in the UK. The ophthalmology techs were charmingly nice to behave and supportive at their best. The procedure Presbyopia LASIK smart laser eye treatment was done within a few minutes and I had redness and irritation for 6 hours. But the eye drops relieved a major part of my discomfort. My distant vision was okay that evening that I could stroll through Istanbul that night. The next day I even visited the blue mosque. I had bought an extra pair of eyedrops as I traveled back to UK. But my near vision hadn't improved and I was finding it hard to read my phone. In the next three months my eyes went through a lot of changes. I had intermittent blurring and I was scared about my eyes. But the representative in the UK reassured me that all these changes happen and it may take at least 6 months to stabilise. Today almost 110 days have passed and I am quite pleased to tell you that my near vision has also become normal and I am typing this message from my android phone. My suggestion for you is to have two or three pairs of +1, +2 glasses as it may take some time for your near vision to improve. This will help you for a few days in the near vision till it gets sorted. In almost 2 months my near vision was 90% okay. Also, buy a set of eyedrops extra as you may have itching 2-4 weeks after the procedure. I am so thankful to all the staff at Nisantasi and I can confidently vouchsafe the LASIK procedure which is the best with regards to price and quality. They do what they tell!

As a result of my concerns regarding penis size and premature ejaculation, I embarked on months, even years, of research. After gaining full knowledge on the subject, I consulted many doctors and had discussions about surgery. Without hesitation, I chose to undergo the procedure with Professor Mehmet Yılmaz, and after the surgery, I realized once again that I had made the right decision. I hope every patient chooses the right doctor; otherwise, regret may not be helpful in the end. I extend my gratitude to the esteemed Professor Mehmet Yılmaz, his entire staff, and his assistant, who was always by my side. I also wish a speedy recovery to all other patients.

Very good experience. Despite my needle phobia. Everything was better than I expected. But what I appreciated the most was the no-nonsense communication. All questions answered promptly and without unnecessary diversion. The ultimate proof of my trust is convincing my wife to have the same operation as soon as her schedule allows it.
