Clinic Center - Account Suspended

I went for bbl and arm. Liposuction on the 20th November. Clinic center were awesome! They collected me for treatment with my personal host/interpreter who stayed with me whenever Drs were there talking to me! He even caught me when I was almost passed out and walked me back to my room. I had my drains out on my last morning before flying home. They were iffy about taking them out but knew I had to fly that day. I feel I could have benefitted keeping them for a few days more as I have some fluid on my tummy 11 days post opp.

I've had some swelling go down from my belly but my butt and hips area seems to stay consistently at 39in so I'm hoping to
It's done decreasing! I did some before and after in outfits to show how amazing the Dr did!
Overall I'd love a little bit more volume in the lower butt area but I'm hoping that once it all softens it'll drop just a little and I'll be 100% happy! My hips are just perfect! He filled them so well! Honestly I've never been so happy with my silhouette before!
Only one regret is not paying extra for the bra area lipo, but im being super picky!
Will update again in a few more weeks

I'm Currently 8 weeks po and I'll post another update tomorrow but I missed my 6 week update to here it is. This was new years! Still numb and still dealing with swelling but still kept my lovely shape. Still wearing my faja and belly board.

I had mommy makeover at Clinic Center. my doctor was Cagri Sade. I chose them because they offer the surgeries with much cheaper prices than here in UK. My quote was affordable for me and I’ve been dreaming to achieve the look after giving birth twice. My doctor was friendly and professional listening to me for the whole consultation. It’s early result now but I’m so happy with the look that my body achieved. Also Clinic Center services were very good, exactly as described before my arrival. I’d recommend them to anyone. Thanks guys.

I went to Clinic Center in December 2019 for a hair transplant procedure.

before going I had talked to several representatives, sent them my pictures, and received a "consultation" and they determined that I will be needing a "mega session" which naturally would cost extra, and was quoted a price.

When I arrived at the airport I was received by a transportation company which took me directly to the "clinic" it looked more like a beauty salon than a hospital to me but it didn't matter, a few minutes later I met my translator who took me to the trichologist's office to look at me ask me few questions and answer some for me.

there I received my first disappointment, see whatever the number of grafts that you were quoted before coming means nothing I was told they will be able to extract 5 to 6 thousand grafts, the trichologist there said we would only be able to do 3 to 4 thousand from the back of my head and proceeded to look at my chest and other possible donor areas before telling me they can take about a thousand more from my beard.

I asked if it's possible to at least go to the hotel and shower and change before they operated on me as I had just done a 16-hour shift at work (i am a clinical pharmacist) then 8-hour flight and car ride and it was 8 in the morning. they insisted to do the procedure now and I went along.

the trichologist left the office my translator asked me about the payment which I just handed to him in cash in an envelope from my handbag as they told me it's easier to have it cash and in US$ rather than pay in local currency via a card and that there will be extra charges of-course, I also went along.

they drew a small sample for my blood work and I wait there a little the tube of blood that was taken from me did not exceed 20ml in volume yet they claimed they used that sample to test for Hepatitis C and deliver 2 PRP injections. highly doubtful but I went along.

I go to the operation room which is just an ordinary room with a bed and a cabin, my blood pressure was going through the roof every time someone came in and out for no reason at all just to look at me or show the person operating on me a video on their phone with little to no hygiene protocol being followed. Again, I went along and didn't complain, nor did I complain about the music being played or the heavy smell of cigarettes coming from the room and the trichologist.

the procedure took about 12 hours from 9 in the morning till 9 in the evening, I had 2 small breaks one of which I was brought a sandwich and a drink which was nice since I was practically starving and sleep deprived. the crew kept asking if I was in any pain to give me more local anaesthesia I was completely feeling some of the areas however that is to my own stubbornness I did not want more local anaesthetic because I knew the swelling is going to be bad the next morning. the part where they were extracting follicles from the lower neck, I felt every follicle being extracted.

what was funny is when we were finished I told them I was feeling really dizzy and there was blood a lot of blood loss they just offered me ibuprofen. no one checked my blood pressure or heart rate or anything. I waddled out of the centre into a taxi which they ordered for me kindly and gave me a bag that contained Ibuprofen, Antibiotic, PPI and Steroid for inflammation. with dosages written on a piece of paper. No antihistamine or any immunosuppressant.

I go to my hotel it's as mentioned, nothing fancy just a regular 3-star hotel no complaints there the staff were nice the view from the hotel was great.

a couple of days of bed rest then I go back for washing and meet a bunch of guys who had done a transplant procedure too and we chat and laugh, I was surprised to see many complained about the plasma injection even tho none had medical background they also suspected something wrong and that they didn't take it. we signed on some paper to say we received it, got our head wash and a small kit that would last about a week that contained two 300-500 ML bottles of foam and gel. we had our inquiries answered and were given some instructions and we went back to the hotel, I had 2 more days left of stay in the hotel which I just sat in my room and only went in the mornings to the restaurant for breakfast.

on the last day, I think my translator came to see me and I talked to him he asked about my experience and informed me about a referral program and I also told him about my concerns, same as I wrote above. on the last day, a car picked me up from the hotel and took me back to the airport.

during the first few months, I was being contacted by a nurse who asked me for pictures and said there is nothing to worry about and all is good and I should see great result, she did not advise me to see a dermatologist or take an antibiotic even though I clearly was having folliculitis.

forgot to mention I bought a 3-month aftercare package from there and bought another 3 months once I got back to Kuwait, the products weren't essential but they were extremely good value for money considering the cost difference in Kuwait and from a medical view, these products were of pharmaceutical quality.

fast forward 18 months later, today is just 15 which is exactly 1 year and 6 months away from my procedure.

there wasn't much contact during that period with Clinic center because every time they contacted me was to write them a review to which I told them I won't before the period to see the final result is over.

I am 60 to 70% happy with the result. I have a hairline but the top of my head is still very much bald and thin, they also missed two spots on the sides that did not receive any transplant and are obviously bald, additionally, the grafts they took from my neck after healing left me with some scarring that looks like alopecia which only allows me to either fully grow my beard or completely shave it to cover the spots. I still look much better than before going there I am happy but i had expected more.

to sum up my experience :

I rate hospitality 4/5: hosts, representatives, even the medical team were all nice and kind. the deduction is for the persistence of marketing offers whether before coming or while there to buy the aftercare products or when I returned to give a review to a procedure that I haven't seen the result of yet.

I rate the transplant procedure 2/5: 1 deducted for not having full transparency with me before getting me to travel and do the procedure, 1 deducted for the discomfort and lack of proper hygiene protocol follow up during the procedure and another 1 deducted for the unsatisfactory result of aftercare.

so in total, it was an alright experience. I hoped for more but I am ok with this. they are still far better than other clinics in turkey that provide such services

I’m so excited after years of being on real self and doing my own research I’m booked for breast implants revision,
I had Breast surgery in uk where I live 15 year ago taking me from 30a to DD I got 325cc

I am booked in with dr aydin gozu at clinic center

That’s where is all went down hill! Got to the hospital with the host taken to private room that was just ok
His nurse arrived wearing dirty trainers unwashed hair and jeans threw her dirty rucksack and cigarettes and told the host to tell me to change and get pictures.
She took these on her phone then tried to take blood with unwashed hands and looked disgusted I asked her to go wash them the name back in with gloves on took blood and while walking between the halls transferee in to vials. When the surgeon and to my room also in jeans and trainers and I told him about my shock and worry about cleanliness he merely looked at the host and said well does she want op or not! I got dressed and walked out . Clinic centre are trying to rectify this and find better surgeon and hospital or I will go home! Wish me look .

Luckily after my bad experience this morning I straight away contacted clinic centre who I am going with they swiftly apologised and were shocked at my experience, very quickly they organised me to meet with another surgeon in a different hospital , it is new and immaculate the surgeon took his time looking and listening to my expectations talked in depth about it . I am rebooked I’m on Monday . I hope to arrive Monday feeling comfortable and excitement about my surgery pics pre op

Overall great experience with clinic center. Breasts looks fab and recovery going well,
I just think people need to be realistic with expectations their standards are not the same as uk, but I felt it was adequate and I would personally recommend turkey and clinic cent but personally wouldn’t recommend sade and his team I didn’t feel reassured at all.
I settled on hakan gundogan and feel I have got exactly as I asked

I have been on real self since 2014 this it's opened my eyes to surgery aboard as I was quoted 6,500 for breast revision in uk. Clinic centre have been fab . Constant contact from enquiry to departure . Each member has been so helpful. After meeting my first surgeon I was horrified at standards him and his team had , I refused to go ahead and planned to one home clinic centre were on my side and fast to setup another consultation if I wanted it which went amazing and surgery went ahead. I think people need to understand standards are not equal to uk or elsewhere , but are adequate and I work in he health industry . But this is why we pay lower !!!

Absolutely bodge jobbed breast uplift, nipples still face the floor. I had implants too but breast still ended up smaller than before, breast are still saggy! Poor aftercare service and customer service. All clinic centre is interested in is money, nipples have chunks out of.

Extremely upset and frustrated by the full situation, they had me back and forward to Clinic Centre, they damaged my hair, wasted my hair samples the 1st time , and they weren’t up to much full stop. They went from courteous to extremely extremely challenging, tried to make out the hair was great when it’s very non exist any on the scalp, they really really wasted very crucial donor hair, don’t get me wrong they are quick with their responses, but is that what I paid all that money for and wasted for, I’m still regretting it from this point, it has upset me no end, now it’s like begging to get the money refunded, pics to follow, I would point blank ignore CLINIC CENTRE, in regards to hair and I wouldn’t recommend for anything if I’m honest. upsetting

Okay so this clinic is the sketchiest surgical clinic you could possibly go to. I had a bbl done a year and a half ago. I don’t even want to get into how shady my experience was whilst in Istanbul. My body is completely ruined and I now have to have a full resection of my abdomen and radiation. Because of the trama Dr. Baran Kul put my abdomen through, I have developed a TUMOR. My doctors back home (USA) are stating that this is from the force used during lipo, and extreme negligence. Not to mention the sexual harassment I received.. Every time I mention anything to the clinic they hide and don’t take any blame.. they’re saying it’s my responsibility to contact the doctor they were previously contracted with. But OH! Because he no longer works the the clinic center it’s not their responsibility?! My results were clearly messed up.

Went in for surgery, when I got to hospital they said I had underpaid and needed to pay another £1000 this should have rung alarm bells, anyway to cut a very long story short Dr Ihsan Basaran butchered my face I have one eye that drools, and bad scaring around both eyes my eyes are different shapes, I have two huge lumps under my chin and terrible scars down the side of both ears, I have next to no feeling in face or neck and am currently seeing a UK plastic surgeon to see what he can correct! It's a year an da half down the line and even my surgeon does not niece that the person who performed my surgery was qualified. For more info contact me and stay well clear! They said if I took it to court in Turkey it would cost me and I would lose cause I signed certain forms relieving them of responsibility! Tracy

Clinic Center...avoid at all costs!!!
Where do I start with this?... I booked in with Erdogan Simsek at the Clinic Center for a FUE Hair Transplant. I did see the feedback on another site but had I known more I'd have looked elsewhere for feedback rather than the short term. I had this procedure on the 5th of March 2018 in Istanbul, I made my way over from the UK and the hosts, transport and hotel I cannot fault this is where the good bit ends. I was met by the host on the morning of the 5th of March by my host who took me to the clinic. Once at the clinic I was led into a pathologists room which was to be the room as where the procedure was to be carried out, the room itself looked tired and not as the site itself. The interpreter/host translated to Erdogan Simsek as to the hairline I required and it seemed fine up to then.
The procedure started with the anaesthetic procedure and the extraction of donor hairs begun. Literally 5 mins in Mr Simsek handed the FUE extractor to one of the assistants and they continued, soon after that the interpreter left. 
What I experienced after was not (in my opinion) professional conduct. There were 4 folk in the room and even though my face was covered the staff carrying out this procedure were watching youtube videos over the back of my head and talking between themselves. Now if this procedure wasn't stressful enough then the fact they were not giving this procedure their full attention made me more stressed. To top things off 2 randoms come into the room that were not part of the procedure and sat on the sofa across the room. They then came over (with no surgical attire on) the proceeded to show them their youtube videos!!
Anyway come lunchtime the donor hairs were extracted and in the petrie dishes, looking online I doubt very much this is how they should have been stored. Mr Simsek come back in for 30 mins in the afternoon and did the punctures on my scalp for the hair insertions, muttered something in Turkish to his staff and walked out the room, this was the last I saw him ever!.
Anyway during the donor insertion procedure, much the same pattern of behaviour as the morning carried on much to my annoyance. During the 5 hours or so, randoms were popping in and out of the room with their latest video clips, having their lunch in the corner.
I eventually left the clinic around 8pm having been there almost 11 hours, I was given instructions and told to come in the 2 days later.
When I come in for my follow up appointment, it was like nobody was expecting me. When I did get seen it was one of the nurses that carried out the procedure, I had asked how many donor hairs were implanted and after a photo whatsapp to Mr Simsek who was not present I was told(through a whatsapp message) it was 4000. I seemed astonished that there was no record on hand and that they needed a whatsapp photo to tell me how many hairs the transplanted rather than a record.
So the following months, comms were bs, depite sending WhatsApp messages with photo updates was assured it would work this despite my concerns about the success of the transplant. I was told to take biotin supplements(which I did).
Well over 12 months have passed and if anything my hair has gotten worse. How folk can make positive feedback days after a procedure that will take a year to show results is a bit of a joke. Take it from me I will post the before and after photos for you guys to draw your own conclusions

This Doctor Mehmet CEBER performed a very poor job on me.
There's no other way I can describe my frustration.Spent nearly £5,000 for Vaser Lipo,Back High definition + and an alleged BBL that was clearly not performed or had no success.
I had serious skin burn Also include scarring and skin loss after undergoing cosmetic surgery at the CLINIC CENTER by Dr Mehmet CEBER in Istanbul.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HIM AND CLINIC CENTER.
