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!
Aaahh, where do I even begin with Dr. Safa and his amazing team? From start to finish, this has been one of the best experiences of my life. I’m only 5 days post-op and already feeling incredible. I had a full mommy makeover after having 5 kids — you can only imagine what my body went through over the years. Dr. Safa truly worked magic. He gave me back my confidence, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like me again. I’m walking around Istanbul feeling like a brand new woman, absolutely in love with my results. If you’re thinking about doing this for yourself, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Safa enough. He’s professional, kind, and incredibly skilled. I’m forever grateful
Wow! Not only is Dr. Safa Manav handsome and kind, he is an incredibly talented plastic surgeon. Coming from LA there are many options for a mommy makeover but I am so happy I flew to Istanbul for this procedure. He and his team, Elif, Busa and Faith are so personal, professional and made me feel very comfortable. The results from Dr. Safa are incredible. I am only 5 days out and already have walked 16,000 steps a day. Istanbul is a great city and I am so happy with the accommodations, city and even met another American friend here. Hands down would recommend Dr. Safa and can’t wait to come back in the future. Oh and the hospital is beautiful as well. You get your own room and stay for two nights.
1000% would choose Dr. Manav to do this surgery again and am actually going back in December for a thigh lift. I love that there were not only patient coordinators, but I also had someone escort me from my hotel to the hospital/Dr. Manav’s office. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating and, having gone by myself, I was very comfortable and confident and there was no guess work with “what do I do next”. I can’t say enough positive things about my experience.
I had a very wonderful experience with Dr Safa Manav and his staff. From Belma, his patient coordinator who explained every to me and was available 24/7. Buse, who made sure I was taken care of when I arrived in Istanbul to Elif who was my personal nurse. Dr. Safa Manav is fantastic, easy to talk to and explained the whole procedure to me. His whole staff made my experience stress free! Especially when traveling to another country. I am very happy with my results!
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.
