Mommy Makeover

I really had a great experience when I went in September. It was easy to communicate with everyone because they spoke English! I had a tummy tuck, lipo 360, implants on a breast reduction and muscle repair! I love the way the results have been so far and can’t wait to see what the next few months down the road will look like! I would definitely recommend Dr. Fatih Algan to use as your surgeon!!

Highly Recommend

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Ali Sadioglu and his team. From start to finish, they were professional, transparent, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Dr. Sadioglu was incredibly empathetic and took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly. I had a double chin liposuction, which was a quick and straightforward procedure, and I’m already very happy with my results. What I appreciated most was that the team never tried to upsell me on additional procedures. They focused on what I wanted and what was appropriate for my goals. I had spoken with another clinic beforehand that recommended a lot more treatments, so finding a doctor who valued honesty and patient comfort meant a lot to me. I highly recommend Dr. Sadioglu and his team!

Dr. Safa Manav is the BEST

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!

I'm SO Glad I Went!

A little over a year ago, I lost quite a bit of weight; about 60 pounds. And that was great. But because I had been quite overweight for years, and I was 51 years old, my skin didn't "bounce back" the way it might have if I had been younger. So while I was happy about the weight loss, the drawn look on my face, the droopy skin, droopy eyes, jowls, etc. were taking a real toll on my self-esteem.No one in my family has ever had plastic surgery, so it felt a bit strange to even consider it, but my self-confidence was so low, I contacted a surgeon here in Canada. After getting an estimate, I did some research online to try to find a reputable clinic elsewhere, where it was more affordable. I found three clinics online in three different countries, and reached out to all three. The clinic in Turkey was the quickest to reply; Defne, who was a sort of liaison between me and the surgeon, got back to me almost immediately, and started to explain the process. She was very reassuring & explained that all my expenses would be included in the price (which was a third of the price it would have been in Canada); pretty much all I had to worry about was getting my airplane ticket. Honestly, if it hadn't been for her reassurance, I might not have gone through with it. It was a very big decision to make; I hadn't been outside of North America in over 20 years, and I suffer from anxiety, so the thought of flying to Turkey by myself to have a stranger operate on my face, neck, and upper eyelids seemed rather insane. But I had done my research, and I felt like it was a trustworthy clinic, and I decided to go. The trip was surprisingly enjoyable. The hotel where they set me up was nice (the food was incredible!), and there were other Westerners staying there who were having similar procedures with the same surgeon (Dr. Ali). I had to get some pre-surgery tests, which I had been warned ahead of time would be an additional expense, and once those were done, it was time for my surgery: a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift and an Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty. When I woke up after the surgery, I was understandably disoriented and feeling sorry for myself, but by the next morning, I felt much better. A very sweet young woman who was a nurse from the clinic's team (I wish I could remember her name!) slept on the sofa in my hospital room to make sure I got through the night okay. The healing process has--on the whole--been quite smooth. Just remember that healing is a "process" that doesn't happen overnight; I had to be patient as my face, eyes, neck, etc., started to heal and the swelling and bruising went down. But every day got better, and as I write this, it's only been two months since the surgery, and I feel great. The feedback I've gotten from people has been rather overwhelming--my mother, who I suspect thought I was crazy to take this trip, said I look like I'm in my twenties lol, and she is still raving about what a great job Dr. Ali did. I feel much better about myself, and as I continue to heal, I know the results will continue to improve. The clinic has been in touch with me since I got back; Defne and Elif are lovely, and it means a lot that they care that I'm happy with the results. I am very glad I decided to take the trip to Turkey and to trust this team of medical professionals to do the surgery. I understand how terrifying it can be to fly to a foreign country and have surgery, but I have absolutely no regrets; I am very grateful to the entire team, who were kind and helpful (and patient with my absolute lack of ability to speak Turkish!). I very much recommend this clinic!

Artistry of Body Sculpting

I can’t recommend Dr. Ali Sadioglu enough! His skills rival those of Michelangelo, truly an artist in body sculpting. From the very beginning, he made me feel confident and cared for, and the results are beyond anything I could have imagined. I look in the mirror now and see the best version of myself, thanks to his exceptional talent. The recovery was smoother than I ever expected, with minimal scarring, and his careful guidance throughout made all the difference. Dr. Sadioglu has genuinely changed my life, and I’m forever grateful. If you’re considering body sculpting, he’s the one you can trust to bring out your ideal self.
