Safa Manav, MD, FEBOPRAS

I had a DP Face/neck lift, upper eye bleph, lower eye pinch, fat graft and temporal lift with Dr Safa Manav in June this year. I am now 8 weeks out and whilst I still have some swelling and puffiness around my eye area, I am very pleased with the outcome so far! I have ZERO scarring at the front of my ears which is amazing (not sure how he did that!) and very little scarring elsewhere - the whole process from arrival in Istanbul, the hotel, the hospital and aftercare were all great, and I felt looked after and informed the whole time (I was on my own, so this was very important). I had minimal pain after the procedure which was managed with regular pain killers for a few days - Buse was the nurse who visited me at the hotel every day to change dressings etc. and was just so lovely! An important factor for me was the aftercare once I returned home and I have to say Elif (my post operative co-ordinator) has been AMAZING. Super organised and always available if I had any questions, queries, moans and groans once I was home.. she always listened to my questions with empathy and gave me reassurance. Patience is key for this procedure (which I don't have much of :)) so trust in the process. Would recommend the doctor and the staff at the practice if you are thinking about surgery in Istanbul

I had a wonderful experience with Dr Safa and his tea! . I have recommended him to my friends. I happy with the results of my deep plane face and neck lift ! I also had an upper/ low blepharaplasty. I would highly recommend Dr Safa.

Dr. Safa Manav is an excellent surgeon and a perfectionist. He was careful to measure everything evenly to restore symmetry to my face. He greatly improved the shape and profile of my face and neck using the most advanced techniques currently being used for natural results.
His team made me feel completely safe and cared for during my trip abroad and took care of all my questions and medication needs. I am very grateful I decided to choose him and his team for this important procedure. No regrets.

I recently had my rhinoplasty with Dr. Safa, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the very beginning, I felt confident in his expertise. I didn’t have a specific reference photo to show him, but I trusted his judgment and professional suggestions on what would look best for my face. He clearly explained the procedure and what he intended to do, which gave me great reassurance.

When the bandages came off, my first words were, “I love it!” The difference was incredible, natural, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for without even knowing it myself. Dr. Safa is not only highly skilled but also precise and efficient; his work truly reflects perfectionism.

A special mention to his amazing team: Belma, who coordinated everything flawlessly while I was still in Australia as she was always responsive, reliable, and patient with all my questions and Elif, who took care of everything from the moment I arrived in Turkey through my follow-up and recovery. They genuinely go above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free.

I can’t thank Dr. Safa and his team enough. They are absolute stars, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering rhinoplasty!

I had a wonderful experience in Turkey. I got rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty. I was really scared and did not expect such a positive outcome. The entire process was very easy to navigate. The procedure went better than expected. Dr. Safa is a master of his craft. My recovery was easy, quick and I got to visit a beautiful country. I love my results and I still can’t believe how easy the team made the procedure. I love, love, love my new features!

I had an amazing experience. I traveled to Istanbul from Boston, Massachusetts for a facelift after having one done in the US three years ago. Dr. Safa Manav is an expert impeccable stitching and impeccable care. His whole entire staff is amazing. I highly recommend going although it may seem daunting to travel to Turkey, it really was not a big deal at all they make you feel so welcome and so well care for

I traveled from Boston to Istanbul for a facelift. I am 58. This is my second facelift since the one three years ago done in the US did not last. I cannot say enough about the expertise of Dr. Safa Manav. He is a true master, his stitching is impeccable and his entire staff amazing. While going to Turkey may seem daunting. It really is not and was a phenomenal experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The care and treatment you receive is nothing like what I have experienced in the US. It is far surpasses. If you are considering a mommy makeover, a facelift and plastic surgery I would not hesitate to get in touch with Dr. Safa Manav.The Best!!

Dr. Safa Manav and his team are exceptional! From start to finish, they provided top-notch service and made me feel completely at ease. The hotel accommodations, communication, and VIP transfer were all fantastic. I'm thrilled with my mommy makeover results—Dr. Safa is truly a talented artist. Just a week after the procedure, I'm already walking around Istanbul and feeling amazing. The recovery was much smoother than I anticipated, thanks to the attentive care from Fatih, Elif, and Buse. I can't recommend Dr. Safa and his team enough—they're simply the best. Don't hesitate to put your trust in their capable hands, and enjoy your vacation while you're at it!

Dr. Safa Manav was an excellent surgeon. I had done my research to find a great surgeon. I am still healing now. It has only been 2 weeks. My face and neck swelling and bruising improves everyday. Dr. Manav's staff were extraordinary in their care, communication, and emotional support. Dr. Safa Manav's nurse, Buse was so professional and kind. I loved her right away. Elizabeth, Dr. Safa Manav's Patient Coordinator, made sure that I knew exactly what to expect at each check-up and for surgery.She let me know about any expenses. She arranged for drivers to bring me to appointments. She was sweet and informative. Dr. Safa Manav and his staff made a trip to a foreign country by myself much easier.

Dr Safa and his entire staff have been pure excellence from start to finish. I felt comfortable, safe and pampered. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give them all!! Thank-you Dr Safa, Belma, Elif and Busa!
