I had a breast reduction surgery performed by Dr Cihan in Istanbul Ata?ehir Florence Nightingale hospital exactly 5 weeks ago.
I'll try to discribe my journey in chronological way:
- I contacted Dr. Cihan from the direct search. I didn't search for a clinic with fancy Instagram. I liked that doctor has a professor's degree in medicine, liked the absence of negative reviews in the internet (including Facebook groups), I liked the reviews here in Google maps, and last but not least, that he performs the surgeries in the big public hospital.
- we had a consultation and mister Ufuk (his partner, customer manager and ex-nurse) answered all my questions and shared photos of doctor's work.
- when I arrived to Instanbul, the driver picked me up and took to the hospital. We had a consultation, I signed the paperwork (in English), and I was taken to the hotel to get some rest.
- next morning when I was admitted to the hospital, I was very impressed by super-friendly staff, big room and excellent care.
- after me blood work, I got the surgery in the afternoon. I was weak and sleepy. But I had 24/7 support from Ufuk and the nurses on duty.
- On the day of discharge, I felt really good. Ufuk took me to the hotel and I was resting. Of course I was provided with all needed information. And before I left, doctor checked everything and he seemed to be very happy with the result (even showed me a picture from the operation room).
- next couple of days I felt very week and felt like having a little temperature rise, as well as the throat hurt. And it was hard to breeze. Fun fact, my breast didn't bothere at all, and it was super ok.
- even that we planned to have a meeting Tuesday morning, after hearing my health concerns, Ufuk decided to get me to the hospital Monday night. Dr Cihan did a full check, everything seemed good. He even consulted with some colleagues. Then we went to the doctors on duty. They did FULL body check: all blood tests, EKG, XRay, etc. And they agreed that was just a flu. Thanks God :)
- I was amazed on how much they cared, and were ok to stay with me, and by my side at 8pm that day. It was very professional. I felt very protected, save and happy.
- The day of my flight, I was taken to the airport. And Ufuk was checking on me till the moment I got home. And even next days, and weeks still we were in touch.

Now, I'm 4 weeks post op. And I wanted to write this feedback today because I had a visit to my local surgeon just to check if everything looks ok.
He said, that the healing goes very well and it was a really good job done on my breast in Turkey.
So, my breast look AMAZING. I finally look the way I always wanted.
By that, I'm incredibly thankful to Dr Cihan for his dedicated to professional development as his technique left me with such little scars.
The size is great, very proportional to my body. And the overall shape is simply beautiful.
Of course, I'm greatful to Ufuk - who became my number one person, who treated me like a princess, who was 200% professional towards my medical condition, and who was driving me around on a fancy car :)
