Ilke Bahceci Simsek, MD

met Dr Ilke Bahceci Simsek while I was in Istanbul as my husband was getting hair transplants . I never expected to do anything for myself but a week went by and I began to see how Istanbul was really a great place to have surgeries . I actually used ChatGBT to find the best doctor for what I wanted fixed which was I had developed a bag under one of my eyes and looked tired all the time ! This Dr came up along with some others . The first Dr I went to was ready to give me a facelift just to correct my under eye problem needless to say I ran out of there . Then I met Dr Ilke Bahceci Simsek and immediately felt safe ! Here was a woman who had studied in the USA . Works in a hospital , lectures all over Instanbul , plus she was so warm and friendly . She mentioned that I also have what I always called a lazy eye on the other eye and that she could fix that as well . That was on a Friday and on Monday I did the operation in a state of the art hosp room with a large team looking after me . The surgery’s I had done was Ptosis repair (or ptosis surgery) And Blepharoptosis repair for the fat under my eye . It has been one month now the fat under eye was so easy and looks fantastic the ptosis is still healing and will take a bit more up time . I flew back to America five days after surgery and didn’t feel uncomfortable at all . The DR continues to write back to me on WhatsApp Any time I have questions and she keeps track of my progress . Trust me you could not be in better hands . If I develop another bag on the other side I know straight where I am going right back to her . I feel extremely lucky I found such a professional surgeon not just some beauty doctor this woman is the real deal and when it comes to your face one needs the best ! The picture is 3 days after surgery

I would like to sincerely thank Dr. ?lke Bahçeci ?im?ek for her exceptional professionalism and care throughout my upper and lower eye lid surgery journey. I am naturally very detail-oriented and cautious when it comes to choosing a doctor, and I had several concerns before making my decision. After conducting thorough research and learning more about her expertise and experience in the field, I felt confident that she was the right choice. Now, two months after the surgery, I can clearly say it was absolutely the right decision. I traveled from abroad specifically for this procedure, and Dr. ?lke was incredibly flexible and supportive in organizing everything. She was very accommodating with scheduling, prioritizing the surgery date, and arranging the timeline according to my availability. This level of understanding and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free. My recovery process was remarkably comfortable. Within the first two weeks, I experienced a fast and uncomplicated recovery without any issues. Now, two months later, almost all traces of the surgery have completely faded. The results look extremely natural and harmonious with my face. The most meaningful feedback came after I returned to my home country. About two weeks later, people around me kept saying, “You look so refreshed,” and “You look younger—this vacation really suited you.” However, no one could tell that I had undergone eye surgery. The outcome is so natural and subtle that it simply enhanced my appearance without looking artificial in any way. Even after I returned home, Dr. ?lke remained in close contact with me for follow-ups, consistently checking in and answering my questions. Her dedication and sense of responsibility truly stood out. I wholeheartedly thank Dr. ?lke Bahçeci ?im?ek for both her medical expertise and her excellent patient communication. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking natural, refined, and beautiful results with a trustworthy and skilled surgeon.

I had eyelid surgery with Dr. Bahceci Simsek and I’m extremely happy with the results. The procedure went smoothly, recovery was quick, and I felt well supported throughout the entire process.

I live in England. After a very long period of research and based on many recommendations, I reached Dr. ?lke Bahçeci ?im?ek. She truly did an amazing job and is a wonderful doctor. I am very happy that I found her, and my eyelids now look much more beautiful and younger than before. I also recommend her to my family and friends, and on this occasion, I would like to thank her and her team once again.

I had never had any cosmetic or surgical procedures before, and my lower eye bags had bothered me for most of my life. Deciding to address something so personal, especially involving my eyes and face, was not a decision I took lightly. After extensive research, I chose to travel to Istanbul specifically to work with Prof. Dr. ?lke Bahçeci ?im?ek, because I was determined to find a highly qualified ocular plastic surgeon rather than a standard cosmetic surgery clinic. From the very beginning, Prof. Dr. Bahçeci ?im?ek exceeded every expectation. Prior to my trip, we had a video consultation where she met with me personally. I was extremely nervous, as this was entirely new territory for me, but she immediately put me at ease. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, kind, and refreshingly straightforward. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions honestly, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. When I arrived in Istanbul, the experience continued to be outstanding. Her assistant was equally kind, attentive, and helpful, and the entire team made me feel supported and well cared for. The facility itself was excellent, and the level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout the process was truly top tier. Post-operative follow-up and communication were thorough and reassuring. I cannot recommend Prof. Dr. ?lke Bahçeci ?im?ek highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was thoughtful, professional, and compassionate. If you are considering ocular or eyelid surgery and want a surgeon with exceptional credentials, personal care, and integrity, she is an outstanding choice.

Dr ?lke was so fantastic to work with. I searched around for a little while before reaching out about a possible blepharoplasty. Her online reviews were positive, and the people that weren’t fully happy received professional feedback about the communicated limitations that vary person to person. It was those negative reviews that actually made me choose Dr ?lke for my surgery. She and her assistant communicated all expectations, instructions, and expectations. She’s incredibly kind and her in person office visits were a pleasure. I cannot recommend her more highly for her communication, coordination, privacy, aftercare, and above all, realistic explanations of results. My eyes look fantastic just three weeks after surgery. I would 100% recommend her to anyone for a consult to see if the procedure is right for them. I’m incredibly happy with the results. Thank you, Dr ?lke!

I underwent a revision ptosis surgery after a previous procedure left my eyelid shape noticeably distorted. Dr. Ilke Bahçeci ?im?ek recognized the issue and explained everything to me with clarity, expertise, and incredible patience. Throughout the entire process, she was consistently accessible, attentive, and genuinely caring—qualities that are very rare to find. She followed my healing closely, reassured me whenever I had concerns, and made sure I felt supported at every step. The surgery process was smooth, comfortable, and far better than my previous experience. Most importantly, she restored the form of my eye beautifully and gave me back the confidence I had lost. I am deeply grateful for her skill, precision, and kind approach. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering ptosis or revision eyelid surgery.

I recently had a lower eyelid blepharoplasty done in Istanbul with Dr. Ilke, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the first consultation to the post-operative follow-ups, everything was handled with such professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Dr. Ilke took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, answer all my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. The clinic itself was immaculate, modern, and welcoming, and the entire team was warm, attentive, and highly organized. The surgery went smoothly, and I was impressed by how minimal the discomfort and swelling were afterward. My recovery was quick, and I was able to get back to normal activities much sooner than expected. The results are absolutely natural and rejuvenating—I look more refreshed, but still completely like myself. If you’re considering eyelid surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Ilke. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!
