MCAN Health

I had a breast lift + augmentation with implants procedure with MCAN. I am now one month post operation and the results are beyond what i expected!
Not only have i gained confidence and a new breast but this overall experience was amazing - from the professionalism of the MCAN team and surgeon to the human side of this journey and valuable help pre - post operation, i am forever greatfull and will, for sure, come again.

Very professional company. If you decide the treatment abroad, simply contact them. The care and all the services are high quality. I had a few plastic surgery, both Istanbul and MCAN made my experience fantastic.

I live in London and it was not easy to make a decision to go a treatment abroad. I researched a lot, I have checked every single review of the clinics in Turkey. I found MCAN Health and I have really impressed by their results, reviews, and professionalism.
It was a great experience for me. 2 years ago I had gastric sleeve surgery with MCAN Health and after I lost 8 stones, I decided to have post-bariatric surgery with MCAN. I had 360 lift, inner thigh liposuction, and arm lift as 2 separate procedures. I had the last operation in February 2021, still looking forward to seeing my final shape but they put my safety first so I need to wait a bit more. I can't be grateful enough as they know what they do. They always checked me on during this process and they always support me at every single stage. Their patient experience department, the drivers, the medical staff, and the quality standards which are internationally accredited were outstanding. I would proceed with them 100 times again. Thank you for being that much supportive, professional, and supportive. You are the dream team guys xx!

MCAN Health are the real deal. So glad I researched properly and found the best company in Turkey for medical tourism. In particular I wanted to get my veneers done as I spent thousands of euro and went through a lot of hardship with orthodontic treatment over the years. Today I'm finally happy with my teeth after 20 years of work.

The clinic were amazing, professional and extremely talented. Thanks to MCAN for arranging everything from transfers, booking, consultations, hotel. Even covid testing for my return journey on site at my hotel for convenience. The customer service was second to none, I had such a great experience with Cansu who looked after me in so many ways. She's a star!

Reverse tummy tuck with Bra Line Lift

I wholeheartedly recommend MCAN for the seamless experience, which started with the lovely Ferian, who was very supportive from the get-go and was quick to respond to all my queries. She was very informative and kept me posted on what to expect during my stay in Turkey.

I arrived in Turkey and was met by one of the MCAN drivers, very nice chap and he even allowed me hotspot with his mobile data as there was no WIFI on arrival into Turkey. I settled into the Hotel ' The Peak Hotel', although somewhat disappointed that the restaurant only served breakfast, which meant I'd have to source for lunch/dinner outside the hotel and was concerned about my mobility after surgery. 

I met Cansu at the hospital on the day of the surgery 28th October 2020. She was really nice and comfortably converse efficiently in English, which made discussion easy. She was with me while I had my blood test/COVID test too, translate to the Doctor and stayed with me till I was wheeled into the theatre. I was by myself and this was assuring that Cansu stayed with me.

My experience at the Hospital i.e. Derindere Hospital from the minute I woke up after Surgery till the day I was discharged is best described in one word 'Horrible'. The female nurses were unfriendly and unhelpful, the language barrier didn't help either but it was a traumatic experience for me. Even though the hospital had WIFI, connecting was a nightmare and can comfortably say I got access no more than 30 minutes during my 48hour stay. Cansu and Hauva (the MCAN nurse) tried reaching via Whataspp to no avail, but it was comforting know the steps taken to ensure my comfort. After not being able to reach me, Cansu came to the hospital and was with me while being discharged, and handed me over to Hauva.

Hauva was extremely helpful as well and even went beyond her call of duty to get me something to eat after being discharged from the hospital, she was with me while at the hotel and constantly checked on me, even to my last day when she brought me extra bandages. 

My procedure is very uncommon, and it was performed by Dr Habib Baskurt. I am so so happy with my results, and my results are immediately visible. I even got a mini-breast lift in the process 'a positive unintended consequence from the reverse tummy tuck' and cannot recommend him enough. Soft spoken and very professional.

On the whole, it was a very good experience but if your surgery is at the Derindere hospital, I will strongly recommend you seek alternative WIFI/Data Plan Options.

Hello. This is a long and honest review detailing my experience of liposuction through MCAN. Regardless of your desired procedure, I hope that this review is helpful.

I went through MCAN to get liposuction.
I researched many different providers of medical procedures based in several countries but I only decided to contact a few of them.

They all got back to me but MCAN was the first and, unlike the other companies, they communicated with me over the weekend.

The case manager who got in touch was a lovely lady named Ferian. She was helpful in providing me an insight into proceedings and any questions I had for her she was able to answer swiftly.

I was provided with my itinerary for my stay as well as what to bring, what to do, and what not to do (such as fasting before the hospital appointment and avoiding certain food and drink).

On arrival at Istanbul airport I was greeted by a driver who took me to the Troya Hotel. It’s a nice hotel and I had a pleasant stay there. It’s well located, in Taksim.

The following morning the driver returned taking me to the hospital where I was greeted by Cansu, a wonderful lady who was to be my customer experience specialist throughout my stay in Istanbul and beyond.

I had my consultation with the doctor, Dr Habib Baskurt, who was friendly. Be prepared with your questions, write them down if need be, and study the booklets they provide you detailing your prospective procedure carefully.

As English is not the doctor’s mother tongue, he won’t go into as much detail as you’d expect from a doctor at home so be comfortable to ask questions via your customer experience specialist. Fortunately Cansu speaks fantastic English and was extremely patient.

Surgery was a success, I felt quite well a few hours later.

There was a major issue that I have to raise though.

It relates to the language barrier and hospital personnel failing to help me.
If you speak Turkish or have a companion who can do so then this won’t be a concern. However, if a hospital is to open it’s doors to foreign patients I would fully expect health professionals to be better prepared:
Once my consultation was completed and I agreed to proceed, Cansu left me for the day but she was still reachable by telephone.

When my surgery was complete I was put into a different room from the one pre-surgery. That meant my belongings were on another floor in a different room.
In the original room I used the safe to keep all my belongings secure including my mobile, which I would need to allow me to reach Cansu.

They asked me which room I was originally in. I had no idea. When they found out the original room they asked me what the combination to the safe was which I was reluctant to reveal as my cash, mobile, and passport were all there.

They asked for security who got out his mobile and aggressively demonstrated inputing a code. I kept calm pleading with them that I wanted to be the one to unlock the code. I got a few eye rolls and was sworn at but I did get my way.
I appreciate that I was in a foreign country, I’m a multi-linguist and I did try to converse in the most basic of Turkish but the language barrier was a huge problem.

The behaviour of the nurses and security was unacceptable. This can’t happen. I am just grateful that I had clarity after surgery and wasn’t in discomfort beyond what was expected, and that I knew how to ask for water.

My things being upstairs suggests a breakdown in communication somewhere or perhaps just a lack of sense as of course I’m going to have belongings with me, I knew I was staying overnight.

I wrote a lot there but I felt the need to highlight this because if you are travelling for a procedure you really have to take emotion and desire out if it and ask yourself what would you do in that situation. It really could happen.

This part is relevant to those considering liposuction. It’s the period between my hospital discharge and my follow-up appointment with the doctor.

I had Liposuction of the flanks, belly, lower abdomen and chest.
Immediately after discharge I was taken to a pharmacy to purchase medication costing 155 TL (£15.50, €16.50, $19).

I was then taken to my hotel. I had thick sponge padding underneath my garment but one of my incisions continued to leak a lot that day so make sure to wear dark tracksuit and pack several extra underpants!
To sit or sleep was painful. If you want to explore the city then be mindful of your new limitations.

Two days later I saw the doctor. Removing the sponge padding was a massive relief. I didn’t have a lot of fat to remove so results weren’t dramatic but the swelling wasn’t pretty. It’ll improve so don’t be alarmed.

If you are getting liposuction and, like me, you don’t like the bulk the sponge padding gives, be mindful that the compression garment will immediately become discreet once the padding is removed. I wasn’t aware of this and allowed myself to be advised to opt for a smaller size which was clearly too small. They should have known better and gotten me a replacement.

The following morning, 4 nights after surgery, a driver took me to the airport and that was that.

Big thank you to Cansu for continuing to ask after me once I arrived home.

Things to be aware of.

If time allows, purchase currency in Istanbul, otherwise carry euros in advance avoiding €500 bills which the hospital won’t accept.
You can pay by credit card but there is a 12% charge added.

I strongly advise bringing a companion, ideally somebody who can speak Turkish.

Hidden fees such as coronavirus testing. It was 30 euros which was not mentioned until I was told I had to take the test. This is something MCAN should have forewarned me about, I’m sure they knew.

Bring extra cash. Its likely you will need to make other essential purchases such as for medication. It may be that you have a complication and require further procedures or more medication. You will be expected to pay the bill for that so ensure that you bring more than the invoice asks of you.

If like me you ask for surgery available in the short term then seriously consider purchasing currency ahead of time. Because I received my itinerary the day before I was due to depart, I was unable to buy euros although I can’t blame MCAN as it left them with little time to sort me out. Although I would like MCAN to be aware that it isn’t standard practice to carry so much in one go as it could get lost or stolen. Ideally they tell you before hand rather than leave it to the itinerary as neither carrying a large sum of cash nor a large extra charge is desirable.

As for my results.
It’s been less than two weeks since surgery but so far things appear to be okay. I’ve got a fair bit of swelling that fluctuates and severe bruising in my flanks but it’s not alarming.

If anybody wants further updates then I can post them after a month, then 3 months, and so on. I am willing to post images too.

I can recommend MCAN because liaising with them was easy, there was a good structure in place, and they showed genuine interest in my wellbeing.
I am satisfied that I opted to go through MCAN. Just remember to take good care of yourself and research, research, research.

I hope this review was helpful and good luck!

Extremly happy with the results so fare. Doctor Murat explained everything in detail before and after surgery. Only fault is that the nurses didnt speak any English within the hospital which made it difficult when in pain or needing assistance. Would recommend Mcan to friends and family.

I had a successful hair transplant with this clinic. It lasted roughly 7 hours. Besides the local anesthetic all the procedure was pain free. The staff was always nice and helpful. Nice people Definitely would recommend

January 2024 bbl that is botched. I have 25!!! incisions on non hiding spots. Lipo 360 + inner thighs. Uneven liposuction and uneven lipofilling left with scars all over my body. I am now 1,5 year PO.

TERRIBLE PLACE, don't risk your health or your finances, had a hair transplant, nothing promised or agreed before surgery happened. I would not recommend especially if your hair is afro type-you will be extremely disappointed! You'll be lucky to be introduced to the doctor in charge otherwise tech's and admin staff is all you meet.
