Cagil Meric Erenoglu, MD

Lower Facelift 1 month
I went through a lower facelift surgery for my jowl problems. I had sagging lower cheek and jawline for some years. I was looking for a doctor I could trust because that was my face, if I had a bad experience I wouldn't be able to hide my face. I have had lots of online consultations with doctors. It seemed the best option for me so I choosed Dr Cagil and organised an operation with him. He had different approach of this matter. His reviews, patient satisfaction videos and patient photos were also quite good. He performed me lower face bulldogg aesthetic under local anesthesia in 2 hours. Before my operation I was pretty anxious but I didnt feel any pain even enjoyable I can even say. After my operation, there was much less edema, swelling and bruising than I expected. I was able to return to my social life in a short time. As the swelling went down, everything got better. The jowls were gone and I had a nice, firm lower face. My scars are nearly invisible. This is amazing. Thanks so much!

Hello, I want to tell you about my process. I came to the clinic through a friend of mine. My friend had also come to have her wrinkles on her lips filled by researching.The team at the clinic were smiling, well-groomed and looked natural at the beginning, they never had aesthetic-looking faces, they got 1 point from me in this regard. 

We met my doctor, he was incredibly sincere and his energy was transferring to people. Then we talked about the procedures that can be done for the drooping of my upper eyelid, and after what he told me, I was very satisfied and we determined the day. I got rid of my drooping eyelids in the clinic with local anesthesia. Later, gold needles and lasers were applied to our entire face, and my skin was brightened, my skin was refreshed and tightened. I felt very good. 

Two years later, the drooping of my chin, my bulldogs, and my neck began to bother me. As a person who takes care of myself and does sports regularly, my body and face did not look the same age. I came to Dr Cagil to discuss the sagging on my face because I was happy with the procedures I had done before. We discussed the procedures to be done for the chin and neck and planned a date. 

I came to the clinic on the day of the procedure and we did it under local anesthesia. The team was knowledgeable, reliable and friendly, which motivated me incredibly. While it was done with local anesthesia without feeling anything, we both laughed and listened to music, the conversation was amazing, I didn't even understand how the procedure ended. I think after my experience that it is better to perform the procedure in the clinic than in the hospital. I came to clinic on foot and came home on foot. I have never experienced patient psychology. 

Dr Cagil's hands were so light that I did not understand when the injection was made with local anesthesia, when the procedure was done and when it was finished. I felt so good when I came out. Of course, my face was swollen afterwards, but there was not much swelling. On the 2nd day, I was in a position to go to work, frankly, on the 6th day of the surgery, my swelling decreased even more. After 1 month, my swelling thoroughly decreased. They said that not smoking and exercising regularly had a great effect on my rapid recovery. I am very satisfied, I recommend it to anyone who thinks because I got perfect results.

I had tummy tuck and breast augmentation surgery. My doctor is Ça??l Meriç Ereno?lu. To be hones I was scared to being surgery but when the first time I see my doctor he explained every detail about the process he gave me trust and he made me feel comfortable. When the surgery day came we went to hospital. And everything is going to fast than I think. The hospital and nurses very kind and involved. The hospital name is Balat. And doctors team always took care of my needs and whether. And everything was better than I expected. I was scared because when I decided to be surgergy I read the other people’s comments and everyone said this surgery was so painful but I didn’t feel so much pain. Of course there was pain but not that much and it lessened over time. Don’t be afraid. Many thanks to the doctor and his team.

I came to Istanbul, from Bali and was under the care of Vomer Clinic for 3 weeks.

I had my first procedure on 1st Oct 22 with Dr Cagil. A combined surgery of a BBL, 360 Lipo, mini tummy tuck and fat transfer to lips, cost approx. £4700, inc. hotel, breakfast & transfers.

On 10th Oct I had a midface pull & temple lift with Dr Bilgen which as approx. cost £4500. (Separate review)

I chose Dr Cagil over surgeons in Singapore, Thailand, LA, & UK as he has the safest method and best results for the BBL in my opinion. From the initial Zoom call I felt very at ease with him and was confident I had chosen the right Dr.

I would say Dr Cagil is very skilled and talented plastic surgeon, and him and Dr Bilgen work very well together, which was interesting as they are couple. He is very approachable, caring and easy to talk to.

More importantly, I am delighted with my results, I can’t stop looking in the mirror at my body and it’s given me a massive confident boost. My clothes look so good on me, the shape is very natural and I would highly recommend him.

Few notes on the overall experience as there are some improvements that could be done, and I’d like to give an honest and fair review for the readers.

My customer liaison person was great, she fantastic customer service skills and for the full 3 months in the lead up to my appointments she held my hand, virtually. She spoke great English, had a great attitude, always answered all my questions putting me at ease, although she could be a little over familiar at times, but I’m guessing that’s part of the sales technique, pushing for a connection. Sadly, she left the business when I arrived in Turkey, only 1 day after my first procedure.

My hospital experience was acceptable but not great. I felt safe and cared for but none of the nurses spoke English. It took four attempts from four different nurses to insert the IV needle, leaving my arms heavily bruised. I wondered if they were in training. A lot of the nurses smelt like cigarette smoke too, I understand that it’s more common to smoke in Turkey, but I was surprised in a clinical environment.

I was discharged from hospital after 1 night. This meant my next 2 nights in the hotel were very stressful, as my drains were leaking blood, leaving my back & corset constantly wet, the bed soaked in blood. It took me 30 mins to get out of bed to go the toilet as I was alone, in pain and could barely move. When the hotel cleaner came in the morning, she was mad and telling me the blood in the bed was a big problem, I was so embarrassed and felt very vulnerable. I did feel a little abandoned and when I reached out for support, I was told it was normal and to stick with it. It’s not pleasant being wet in blood for 2 days, I smelt awful and couldn’t sleep.

After these 2 days, I was picked up and taken the clinic by my new customer liaison guy. He was warm, friendly, very playful and had great a flamboyant personality, yet also a little over familiar at times same as the first person, saying the odd inappropriate things. He took me for my first check-up, but after a stressful 2 days, I ended up in an emotional pile and kept crying, although he was very comforting, he also left the business.

The doctors were also very comforting, they then removed the drains and kindly let one of the nurses come back to the hotel to help me shower which I was happy about and this lifted my spirits.

I would highly recommend either bringing a friend to help your through the first few days.

The hotel I stayed at was good, yet basic called The Mia Berre. Most of the staff were friendly and professional, some were not, but considering it was part of the price, it was acceptable. The hotel could really do with updating its music playlist. There are about 12 sad songs by a Sax, on a loop, it was annoying when you're trying to be positive as healing.

Overall summary, I’m 100% happy with my result and would return to Dr Cagil for any future procedures.

Areas to be considered for improvement are the choice of hospital & hotel, some training for customer liaison staff.

Excellent experience, exceeded my expectations. His team was exemplary. Everyone treated me like a queen, taking care of all my needs professionally and without hesitation. My procedures were not ordinary and Dr Cagil handled everything with finesse and expertise!!! His nurse is top notch, most professional and reassuring!

I am extremely satisfied with my BBL surgery results! I met him via his wife, Dr. Bilgen who performed my nose job surgery. She made me a lovely, well-proportioned yet natural looking nose!

And I had another problem... My saggy butt! I had lost almost 90 pounds and my butt succumbed to gravity. He informed me on BBL surgery and show me how my butt will look after the surgery. He explained at least 10 times the postoperative process, pain management, etc. (I am a bit anxious type of person as you can imagine) He was very patient and wanted me to be sure before planning the surgery.

Then operation time arrived... He again showed me how my butt going to look like afterwards. And the result were spectacular! My butt looked better than ever (better than all skinny butts around!) It is well-shaped, round, and really sexy! Like I do squats all day every day! This summer I wore my bikinis with a big smile in my face...

I recommend Dr. Ça??l for bigger esthetic surgeries like BBL or vaser liposuction(also my dear husband loved the results) and Dr. Bilgen for smaller touches (botox, fillers and nose job). It is very advantageous to find a plastic surgeon couple that can meet your every possible need in one clinic appointment!

Thank you Dr. Ça??l and Dr. Bilgen for your help and extreme dedication to your patients. You are the best!

I had a Vaser liposuction operation about 18 months ago. The result is incredible! With a balanced diet and exercises, my abs are visible again! I returned to office in four days and started exercising around a month. Doctor Cagil was very caring and easy to talk through all stages. He visited and talked with me every day during my stay in Istanbul. The procedure and the post operation duration was easy for me. No pains and discomfort afterwards. I highly recommend such a joyful and talented doctor to everyone!

Amazing Experience with Dr.Cagil and His Team!!

My experience was amazing, from the staff to Dr.Cagil. They were caring, sweet, and tentative to my needs, before, and after surgery. I know I bugged my consultant Sude, but she never made me feel as I did, just asking questions, as well as Ami, they both were so Awesome!! After watching so many YouTube videos, trying to prepare myself, also for the pain, lymphatic massages, I truly worked myself up over nothing. I had the breast lift,Bbl, lipo 360, tummy tuck, and pain was little to known. The only time I needed the the severe pain meds was when I had my first massage. Because I was just so afraid of the massages, again after watching YouTube videos. I tried the next day not taking the severe pain meds, for the next massage and I was just fine. That massage was the best, as well as my massage therapist!! I’m just over 1 week from my surgery date of 21/06, and I feel good. I can’t wait to see my final results!! So far I’m over the top happy, with what I see. I’m so happy I went with Dr. Cagil, the absolute best!! On my way to my new body!!!

Professional, highly skilled, charismatic, gentleman and kind Plastic Surgeon. I securely recommend Dr. Cagil as a Plastic Surgeon.
I am now on day 65 post surgery of liposuction 360 degree around my torso, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and BBL (lift to the bum using my on body fat).
I am feeling great and really satisfied with the surgery result so far. I was very well informed and prepared prior deciding to get my surgeries done in Turkey. I then had to find the perfect Plastic Surgeon to perform it. I did my research for about 3 months and the responses from Dr. Cagil to all my questions regarding surgery and worries was set clear from very early on while I exchanged conversation with his assistant. Please note that when you contact Vomer Clinic which is the name of Dr. Cagil and his wife's private practice, you are contacting the Surgeons directly. Vomer Clinic is not not a third party clinic. In my personal experience this direct contact made the whole difference on getting my doubts and worries set at peace. I could notice from the beginning that the wonderful assistant that was speaking with me over the phone and text message, had a close relationship with the Surgeons and was not a third party representative.
My video consultancy with Dr. Cagil went great and I could see how knowledgeable he was and how much he cared about safe procedure and his interest of my expectation and explained everything that I asked in details.
Dr. Cagil, his wife and team met me on the evening of my arrival in Istanbul, 2 days after I was in surgery.
I got a very nauseous (vomiting) affect on my body after surgery due to the general anesthesia, which I knew it could happen (as I informed myself really, really well prior deciding to get Plastic Surgery done). It lasted for about few hours after I woke up which made me feel even more weak than normal.
What I was dreading the most before getting surgery done was the post operation pain that I could have had, which are not abnormal, and are dealt with appropriate stronger painkillers while you are in hospital. But, I was definitely blessed as I had NO pain at any stage. Although, when I was back home in Ireland on day 25 after surgery I was at work and I over worked (physically moving around, up and down and standing for long) which I should not have done.

My body had a lot of edema (swelling) after surgery. My body was much bigger after surgery than I actually was before surgery. But again, I was not worried because I knew that every one's body are different and might react differently regarding of the trauma of the surgery.
The process of my torso swelling to go down, is being very slow but by now in the 65th day I look amazing and I feel amazing. The right hand side of my torso was slower to swell down than my left hand side.

Overall, I have only good things to talk about my experience regarding my Plastic Surgery since I found Dr. Cagil. I am looking forward to my return next year (2023) to get my breast implant done with Dr. Cagil, of course.

My biggest advice I can give to someone who is planning their dream of "a better you for yourself" is:

1.Do your research well, regarding the type of plastic surgery that you want to get done. Read articles, what "good, informative, youtube videos".
2. Take your time on conversing with the Surgeon assistant then with the Surgeon. Ask questions!
3. Choose the Surgeon that you felt secure while speaking with and that you got a good connection with.
4. Be careful with third parties clinics. My personal experience was really back, while researching.
5. Do not go on a diet 1 month before surgery, your body needs to be full of good healthy food and not slim. If you are to loose weight, loose it away before 1 month to the surgery.
6. Remember that you are not your friend who got plastic surgery done. Everyone journey after surgery is different, but you can make it better by getting yourself well informed in order to not have false expectations.
7. Put money a part to get lots and lots of sessions of Lymphatic Drainage (depending on your surgery, of course. Ask your doctor). Get it done with a professional who has experience with post surgery. Because Lymphatic Drainage post surgery is with different intensity and if done in the wrongly manner it will make your edema worse and delay your internal tissue healing process. A proper Lymphatic Drainage will expedite your body's healing process, will aid the swelling to go down and after it will give the best result that your Surgeon aimed for while performing your surgery.
8. Be patient...it will take a while until you get the final result after surgery.
I send you who are dreaming with this physical transformation, lots of encouragement because it is worth it.

Hi everyone,

The meeting with the facitator over video call was very efficient, and every question was answered with any concerns addressed prior to the surgery.

Upon meeting Dr. Cagil, all I had intended to adress and have as part of my plan was explained in great detail, further more advised from a professional perspective with good morality and principles rather then monetary pressure.

All areas I wanted surgery on, such as breast augumentation and tummy tuck were explained from beginning to end and the team further directed me to a carer whilst I was in Turkey, and went out if their way to facilitate a dentis dentist appointment for teeth whitening at my request.

There was no pressure financially, but straight forward. The procedure was successful, both himself and his wife worked together and I am satisfied with the results.

During my stay in hospital the surgeon visited day, and further instructed the nurses on any further actions, encouraging me to start walking. This after care continued whilst staying In turkey and any concerns raised were immediately dealt with.

Additionally, I'm now back on my country and the team and Dr.Cagil and his wife Dr. Bilgen, continue to check in with the assistance of the team, ensuring I am still doing well and no other issues have come up.

Overall satisfied with the procedures.
