This entire experience exceeded my expectations. First, Dr Manav is not only well accredited and accomplished in his field. He is a true artist, a perfectionist in his work, and a compassionate human being. I had several procedures done by him at the same time, including facelift, upper blepheraplasty, lip lift and fat transfer. I could tell from the first few days post op that the results were phenomenal. In addition, the staff that work on his team are highly dedicated and always answered all needs and concerns very quickly.The doctor and his team put a high priority on safety and on making sure the entire experience is a very positive one. The hotel itself is really wonderful, especially the extensive and delicious breakfast that is included daily. I must say that from the time of the initial consultation to going back home, everything was coordinated to perfection! I cannot wait to see my results as I keep healing. But for a 56 year old woman who can pass for 20 years younger, I am beyond ecstatic. Thank you Dr. Manav for achieving such incredible results that were beyond my expectations!!
Dr. Safa outdid my expectations, especially for someone who had never done plastic surgery before and was extremely skeptical and scared. I have just reached my 3.5-month post op mark and I am so incredibly happy. I had a temporal lift, fat transfer and facelift. If you’re looking for an experienced surgeon to trust, I would highly recommend Dr Safa and his entire team (Belma, Elif and Buse). My entire experience was seamless from the initial what's app conversations with Belma who arranged everything for me and the initial contact person Elif (care coordinator) to my nurse Buse. I can't thank all three for the incredible support and attention they gave me while I was in Turkey and even afterwards now that I am back home. Elif was and still is God sent for me. The hospital was so impressive, and all the staff were kind and compassionate. Dr. Safa is an incredible surgeon, and I couldn't be happier with his work and my results. I would highly recommend this team for anyone considering plastic surgery as I will be revisiting Dr. Safa again in the near future. Thank you to everyone for the incredible and unforgettable experience and thank you Dr. Safa for your amazing work.
My experience with Dr. Manav and staff were excellent. Wonderful! And I would do it all over again. Came here alone from California to have many procedures done at once and I was well taken care of and safe
Excellent professional, creative, listens informative, straight forward, educates, suggestive of what procedure would be of most benefit for the desired outcome but will do what the patient wants for the best outcome. Will not compromise a good outcome. Realistic
Having a great experience. Just finishing up my aftercare for full facelift. Dr safa and his team have made my procedure stress free and my care and accommodations have been of the highest standards! The girls on the team are the sweetest, caring and gentle. I fly home soon and couldn’t be happier with Dr Safa Manav and his team.
The doctor was very professional and emphatetic and brough perfect results. His staff was super kinds as well. Everything happened just as it was planned or even better. Thank you so much for your proffesional attitude
I just returned home from my mommy makeover I had done with Dr. Safa (breast lift, augmentation, full tummy tuck with some lipo sculpting) and it was an absolutely incredible experience all around! I’m not even two weeks post op, but I’m soo happy with my results already! It couldn’t have gone better. Dr Safa and his whole team were extremely kind and took such great care of my mom and I (she had an upper bleph) - the hospital was beautiful, the hotel was so accommodating with a great breakfast spread (we loved that!) it was comfortable and clean! The VIP transfers everywhere were also SO nice, I will miss that! The whole experience start to now has been so smooth, I’m so happy I made this decision for my self and that I chose Dr Safa. I can’t recommend it enough!
I’m beyond grateful that I chose Dr. Safa Manav. From the very first moment, I felt understood, supported, and in the best hands. Everything was perfectly organized, all the information was provided at the right time, and the entire team was always kind, attentive, and professional. I underwent a complex breast correction — an implant exchange, removal of my own tissue, and a lift. I knew it wouldn’t be an easy procedure, but Dr. Manav’s calm and confident manner quickly gave me the assurance that I was exactly where I needed to be. And what can I say: the result is simply incredible — more beautiful than I ever imagined. My deepest thanks go not only to Dr. Manav for his exceptional work, but also to the entire team for their warmth, patience, and dedication. I felt completely safe and cared for throughout. Thank you for everything — from the bottom of my heart!
From the very first text message to the present day my whole experience was 5*+ Nothing was overlooked, every question answered, every minute detail discussed and ensured I completely understood exactly what would happen and what was happening, as well as when where and how it would all happen. I was made to feel and was treated like the most important person alive and anything and everything was taken care of to the best possible standard.
I had a truly exceptional experience with Dr. Safa Manav and his team. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, deep expertise, and a confident, meticulous approach that immediately put me at ease. His attention to detail and skill are evident, and his bedside manner made me feel comfortable and well cared for throughout the entire process. His staff was equally supportive—welcoming, responsive, and well-organized. I couldn’t be happier with the care I received and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a top-tier medical professional
Based on your weight, height, and skin quality, your surgeon’s suggestion of 285–320cc teardrop B-Lite implants sounds like a thoughtful choice — lighter, more natural-looking, and gentler on your skin. If you’re torn between too big or too small, aim for the middle (around 300cc). It’s usually enough to give a noticeable but natural boost without feeling overwhelming.
You should generally wait about 6 to 12 weeks after a facelift before proceeding with liposuction and a breast lift. This allows sufficient time for the facelift incisions to heal and reduces the risk of complications. However, always consult with your facelift surgeon and the surgeons performing the other procedures to get personalized recommendations based on your specific recovery and overall health.
It's generally recommended to wait about 6 to 12 weeks after a facelift before undergoing additional procedures like liposuction and a breast lift. This allows ample time for initial healing and reduces the risk of complications. However, your specific recovery timeline may vary, so consult with both your facelift surgeon and the surgeons performing the lipo and breast lift to get personalized advice based on your individual healing progress.
Yes, resuming exercise or sexual intercourse too soon after a facelift can potentially cause complications, such as increased swelling, bleeding, or poor healing, which may negatively impact the results. Generally, it's advised to avoid strenuous activities for at least 3 to 4 weeks post-surgery, but your surgeon will provide personalized recommendations based on your specific situation. Following their guidelines is crucial for optimal healing and achieving the best possible outcome.
Yes, it is generally safe to have two procedures under anesthesia 37 days apart, provided you’re in good health and your medical team agrees with the timing. The key factors include your overall health, how well you recover from the first procedure, and the specific requirements of each surgery. Both your orthopedic and cosmetic surgeons should coordinate to ensure that your recovery from the first surgery is adequate before proceeding with the second. Always follow your doctors’ advice and ensure you’re fully recovered between procedures.
