SMILE Eye Surgery Worldwide

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.

I had Smart Lens treatment and the results are incredible! My vision is crystal clear, and the whole process was smooth and professional. Truly life-changing experience!

I had lens replacement. The hospital was so clean, the doctor was so polite, talked me through everything. He had to do tests, pre-op and operation. He never kept me waiting. His work was 10/10. The staff were lovely. I looked around for a bit to find the best eye surgeon in Turkey and believe me, I found him. His work was skilfully precise and bang on. If you want the best, trust me, go with Dr. Derda Saglik — he's the best. His ratings and reviews say it all for him, and now I’m saying it all firsthand. He’s the GOAT for eyes — ra eal professional and a friendly guy. Many thanks, bruva. Got great pictures too. Take care and all the best for the future. Alwyn Dowman 💙💙💙💙💙💙 I have perfect vision. I can read small writing again. So appreciate it, thank you.

Who is really keen to have eye surgery? Nobody. We researched for a long time and my wife was immediately convinced that she had found the right person when she called Dr. Ferwerder. The entire examination phase and the two operations went smoothly and everything was done within a week and we both had the operation, on both eyes. Dr. Ferwerder combines immense specialist knowledge, an unrivaled routine and a great team into a surgical experience and all of this is accompanied by a daily tsunami of humor. It's a shame that you only have two eyes, otherwise I would do it again straight away. I also know from conversations with friends and acquaintances, who did the same but in Malaysia, Singapore or Bangkok, that my result is the best. I hear completely different results and can happily report that we made the right decision to go for Dr. Ferwerder and his team. In addition, I really like his style, not everyone has to like it, but in my case it's a 100% fit! Thank you Dr. Ferwerder and team, after 4 weeks I have finally also stopped adjusting the glasses on my nose that I don't have. And he said, “Get up, throw away your glasses and see”!

I came from Finland for surgery with the doctor. As the surgery would be 1/5 of the price of what I would have to pay in in my own home country. I visited the doctor and he examined me and took the time to do all the proper tests to see if I needed the surgery or not. Turns out I had been misdiagnosed and there was no need for the surgery after all!! Though I did not need surgery, I can 100% recommend the doctor since he could have very easily said oh yeah sure let's do it, and just take my money! Overall the doctor was very professional and I could see that he had a lot of expertise and accumulated knowledge and it felt I could trust him. More than that the doctor’s assistant is amazing, speaks very good English, and provided clear and informed communication along the process. Very thankful for their efforts.

The surgery to implant tridocal-torical lenses was succesfull. The clinic is perfect, modern, professional staff. All was perfect. The attention of Adam was very helpful. Very good professional assistant. My rate is 10 over 10.

Keep up good a service for the patient and very professional and friendly. I granted 100% satisfaction.
