I Had an Amazing Experience

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.

Top Tier Surgeon

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.

Fantastic Communication and Wonderful Results

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!

Great Experience with My Revision Surgery

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.

Wonderful Experience with Dr. Ilke in Istanbul!

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!

Great Surgery Experience

About 7 months ago, I had lower eyelid surgery. Dr. ?lke was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions and guiding me through the decision-making process. The surgery went very successfully, and I was able to reach her anytime afterward with any questions I had — she was always attentive and caring. After 6 months, I went for my final check-up, and everything was perfectly fine. I’m very grateful to her, especially for the confidence and comfort she gave me throughout the whole process
