Safa Manav, MD, FEBOPRAS

He was very professional, and personable at the same time he is definitely someone I would highly recommend in the future. Very thorough in his analysis and safety for his thorough in his whole practice has a very professional staff

I’m originally from Turkey but live in Australia, and coming back home for this surgery was such a great decision. The whole experience with Dr. Safa and his team has been excellent from start to finish. I’m only three weeks post-op, so it’s still early and I’m quite swollen, but I can already see glimpses of the final results — and I’m really happy with what I see so far. Dr. Safa is amazing at what he does, and his nurse Buse was absolutely wonderful — she made me feel so comfortable, was very caring, and always went above and beyond to help me. The hospital care was outstanding — very clean, professional, and organized — I felt completely safe and well looked after. The hotel accommodation arranged as part of the process was also fantastic. The staff were so kind, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Overall, it was such a smooth and positive experience, and I’m truly grateful to Dr. Safa (so talented… and not gonna lie, very easy on the eyes :) ) and his team for making it so easy and reassuring.

Having surgery in your own country can be nerve wracking. Traveling to another country to have surgery is almost unimaginable. From the initial contact and coordination with Belma, to Elif taking over upon arrival, and Buse taking such good care of me after surgery, Dr. Safa and his team have made this experience easier than we could have ever dreamed. I’m only a few days post op and very swollen so I can’t comment on aesthetics yet, but I know that Dr. Sava’s patients don’t leave unhappy. This is a beautiful city and the people are so extremely friendly. Don’t hesitate to book your surgery with Dr. Safa, & be sure to give yourself time to explore this beautiful part of the world.

Beyond 5 Stars! Dr. Safa Manav met and exceeded all my expectations. I had a deep plane face and neck lift, endoscopic brow lift, fat transfer, and lip lift — and I am beyond thrilled with my results. Elif, his assistant, spoke perfect English, made me feel completely comfortable, and explained everything clearly. The entire staff — Belma, Boussa, and his surgical nurse — were exceptionally organized, attentive, and kind. I truly enjoyed working with each of them. If you have any reservations about Dr. Safa Manav or about traveling to Turkey for surgery — don’t! My experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish. I’m already planning to return next year for a few more procedures. If I could give 100 stars, I would!

My experience has been wonderful. I am thrilled with my results, the care I have received, and the professionalism of Dr. Manav and his staff. I highly recommend using their services. I have had an extremely positive experience.

Almost two weeks ago, I had plastic surgery with Dr. Safa Manav, Dr. Ali Sadioglu, and their wonderful team, and I would like to share my sincere gratitude for the exceptional experience I had. From the very beginning, I felt I was in good hands. The consultation was clear and detailed — both doctors took the time to explain the procedure, answer my questions, and make sure I felt confident and comfortable with every step. Their calm and professional approach really reassured me and gave me trust in moving forward. On the day of surgery, everything was well-organized and smooth. The hospital was clean, modern, and welcoming. The nurses and support staff were kind, attentive, and truly made me feel cared for. I never felt rushed or overlooked; instead, I felt like I was their priority. The surgery itself went very well, and my recovery so far has been much easier than I expected. The team checked in with me regularly, making sure I had everything I needed. I am already very happy with the results, even though it has only been two weeks, and I can see how carefully and skillfully the work was done. I am deeply thankful to Dr. Ali Sadioglu, Dr. Safa Manav, and the whole team for their professionalism, kindness, and dedication. They gave me not just excellent medical care, but also comfort and confidence throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering plastic surgery — you will be in the best hands!

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!
