They did well. I received gynecomastia surgery on the second day of my arrival. All went well. The staff wss very nice and helpful. Overall, a good experience, and I would return if I had.another surgery need.
I had the gynecomastia operation a few weeks ago. My surgeon was Doctor Baris, he did amazing work, provided me with detailed information both pre-operation and post-operation. The scars are not very visible, everything was very smooth from the airport transfer to the hotel rooms and the clinic conditions. Güven provided me with assistance when completing the forms needed before the operation, and he has always been very helpful and supportive when I have a question to ask. I would recommend.
I recently underwent breast augmentation surgery at Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital with Dr. Mert, and I am beyond satisfied with the entire experience. Before the surgery, Dr. Mert carefully recommended the ideal size for my body, ensuring a natural and beautiful result. His expertise and personalized approach truly made me feel confident and well cared for throughout the entire process. The professionalism of the entire hospital team was outstanding. From the drivers and coordinators to the nurses, cleaning staff, and receptionists, everyone was attentive, kind, and highly skilled. Their exceptional care made my stay comfortable and stress-free. If you’re considering cosmetic surgery, I highly recommend Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital. Their commitment to quality and patient satisfaction is evident in every step of the journey. I will definitely return here for any future procedures. You can trust them 100% with your care and results!
I came to Vanity on my own for a few procedures, and right from the start, I felt really good about my research. It seemed like a perfect fit for me, although I was a little cautious at first—sometimes great marketing can be misleading! But honestly, everything has been super straightforward, which is exactly what I appreciate. I’m not one for fluff, so the no-nonsense approach here has been refreshing. They've set everything up for me, and all I have to do is follow the instructions. I'd have no hesitation recommending this clinic—I actually already have! I want to give a big shout-out to Betty for keeping me informed every step of the way. And I really need to thank Güven; he came to the hospital to support me, and I didn’t realize how much I needed that until he was there. It made a world of difference! Overall, I’m a really happy client and I’ll definitely be back!

A SERIOUS AND VERY CLEAN CLINIC, if you don't know it looks like a small clinic, in reality it is made like a hospital but a luxurious one, it has an operating room just like the hospitals and a large number of very trained staff, I spent the night inside the clinic after the operation.

The experience was amazing from start to finish. Güven was an amazing patient coordinator who responded in a timely manner, was patient and went above and beyond to ensure my experience was the best it could be. Don’t hesitate to book with Vanity because they make the experience so much more comfortable and seamless. The result of the procedure itself was excellent and will only get better with time!
I had belly and waist lipo with Dr Baris Kanik and the treatment and results so far have more than superceeded my expectations. I was looking for a reliable and trustworthy clinic and had a lot of recommendations while in England as it’s quite popular for people to go have their procedures in Turkey from the UK. I looked online and found a lot of clinics but vanity clinic caught my attention because of the good reviews, easy accessibility and very organised structure from start to finish for each patient or prospective patient. I was speaking to Umut who is very polite, thorough and well informed and he encouraged me to go with Dr Baris for my liposuction surgery. When I looked at Dr Baris’s instagram page, I didn’t see many reviews like the procedure I had in mind but I trusted the recommendation. Upon my first in person meeting and consultation with Dr Baris, I immediately understood why. He remembered every single detail from my first online consultation and recommended the best procedure for the results I had in mind. He then advised me on my precise medical condition because I have had 3 abdominal surgeries in the past and several marks and incisions and adhesions. He informed me on the risks and said we would make a decision together on what to do next. I was impressed, informed and good to go. The procedure went very well and only 3 days post op I already see a huge difference and I’m very close to my ideal body already. I can’t wait to see my final healed results! I don’t know how he skilfully avoided my adhesions and focused on taking fat from problem areas that where less risky but he did it and he is very skilled. All the nurses were super kind and caring. I hardly felt a prick when they took bloods or administered drips. They were very timely with dressing changes and draining the fluids too. I had one night stay in the hospital and my after care was really good. The food served in hospital was tasty too. The facility is very clean with up to date technology and many multilingual and kind staff. My pain level afterwards was not too bad, I was able to do 2000 steps on day 1 after surgery and my system recovered really well. My personal patient coordinator Guven was with me all through virtually and in person, very patient and kind and interesting to chat with which really put my mind at ease. The service in general is very prompt and direct, giving you everything you need and more and answering all your questions. Because Dr Baris is so knowledgeable he had answers for every single question I had as well as during my control appointment on day 3 I just have asked him 50 questions! I’m beyond pleased honestly, I didn’t think it would be this good.
I was very happy. The guys there, are very kind and lovely. Dr. Hismi Anil did a beautiful Nosejob on me. And the lovely lady’s Eda and Yasmin did their job very good! I felt very supported. Thank you so much!!
The staff in Vanity were amazing, especially my Patient Coordinator Guven. I received all necessary info regarding my hotel, transport and surgery prior to my flight, which made me feel very reassuring about my decision to have a rhinoplasty.My surgeon Dr Hismi was amazing! Very knowledgable man, with friendly manners and gentle approach. I immediately felt at ease after my consultation with him and I knew he will do his best to make my dream look come true. He didn’t disappoint! Im so happy with my new nose. Would definitely recommend this company if you want a great result.
I originally traveled for a nose surgery, but Dr. Anil Hasmi sincerely advised me against it. He explained that, since my nose had already been operated on twice, it looked fine and another procedure would only involve unnecessary risks. His honesty and ethical approach, instead of pursuing profit, left a lasting impression on me – I do not regret for a moment deciding not to go through with it. Instead, I chose to undergo a breast implant exchange. Dr. Baris Kanik guided me through the entire process, took plenty of time to explain everything in detail, and made me feel safe and well cared for. What impressed me most was that he even returned to the clinic later in the evening after my surgery to personally check on me – something that truly touched both me and my husband. One week after the operation, I am more than satisfied with the results. Special thanks also to the patient coordinator Murat, who supported me every step of the way and was always available whenever I needed assistance. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely comfortable and in the very best hands.
Your history and goals are very clear, and the questions you raise are excellent.
Scar managementA full tummy tuck can usually remove a vertical C section scar, especially if it is tethered and surrounded by sagging skin. In your situation, the available upper abdominal skin appears sufficient to be pulled down smoothly, so there should be no need for a new vertical incision. The vertical scar can be converted into a low horizontal line hidden below the underwear line.
Diastasis recti repair (MR)This can restore core support and flatten the abdominal wall. It will not create dramatic curves on its own, but it establishes a firmer, smoother foundation.
Flank liposuction vs no lipoMany patients achieve good results with tummy tuck and muscle repair alone. Liposuction of the flanks is often added when extra waist definition is desired, but it is not mandatory. Based on your weight stability and your goals, a natural balanced outcome is achievable without flank liposuction.
Future weight fluctuationsA fluctuation of three to five pounds is unlikely to cause overhang after surgery. Skin removal and tightening reduce the redundancy that leads to sagging. As long as your weight remains within your usual range, results should hold well.
This overview should give you a clearer idea of what to expect. A direct evaluation by your surgeon will provide the most accurate guidance for your case.
In a full tummy tuck, the skin from the belly button down to the pubic area is removed, which means tattoos located in this zone are usually altered. The tattoo in your case sits within the area that would typically be excised. Depending on the degree of excess skin and how much tightening is possible, the tattoo may be removed completely or partially, with the remainder sitting just above the new incision line.
While incision placement can sometimes be modified slightly, the priority remains creating a smooth contour and repairing diastasis recti. If preserving the tattoo is an important goal, this should be communicated clearly during consultation. In some situations, the surgical plan can be adjusted to minimize impact on the tattoo, but this is not always achievable without compromising the main objectives of the procedure.
The most precise assessment can be made during preoperative markings, when your surgeon outlines the skin to be removed.
A video is included below showing the typical incision lines of a tummy tuck in animation form, which may help you visualize how the tattoo could be affected.
I hope this helps clarify your options. A direct consultation will give you the most reliable guidance for your case.
Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed question, you’re describing a concern that many patients share, especially within the first 1–2 years after breast augmentation.
Your concern is very understandable, many people hope for a simple augmentation but find out a lift might be recommended, which can affect both cost and decision-making.
Thank you for your thoughtful question — and you're absolutely right to focus on the overall breast shape, not just nipple position. This is a common concern among patients exploring lift options.
