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
I recently traveled to Turkey for a cosmetic procedure, and I cannot express enough how happy I am with the entire experience-from the moment I landed to my final follow-up visit. The Surgeon ( Dr Safa Manav) From our very first consultation, it was clear I was in the hands of a true expert. He took the time to listen to my goals, explained every detail of the procedure, and made sure I felt confident and informed throughout the entire process. The surgeon’s team deserves just as much praise. From the friendly coordinator ( Faith and Elif) who helped me with my travel arrangements to the attentive nurses (Buse) who cared for me post-op, every single person I encountered was professional, compassionate, and incredibly well-organized. They made everything seamless and stress-free, even though I was thousands of miles from home. The hospital itself was pristine—modern, and held to international standards of cleanliness and safety. I was impressed by the high-tech equipment, the private rooms, and the overall level of comfort and efficiency. It truly felt like a five-star facility. If you’re considering plastic surgery abroad, I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic and team in Turkey. They combined top-tier medical expertise with genuine hospitality and care. I feel more confident and happy in my own skin—and I have them to thank for it.
after many surgeries in the US with overpriced & high ego surgeons.. meeting dr safa manav was a breath of fresh air. his energy is incredibly calming and positive. his skills and techniques are beyond anything you will find in the US. i traveled to turkey with my mother where we both received facial procedures, her case was more extreme and challenging, but this doctor was up for the task and performed magic. we are thrilled with the outcomes and its only been 8 days. very much looking forward to continued improvements month by month

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.
