Lipo 360 + BBL October 2019 with Dr Serbulent Guzey

Hello ladies,
So after a good year of searching for a Dr., going tot consultations, and going back and forth between my choices... Today was the day that I made my descision and booked my plane tickets and payed my deposit. I will be undergoing lipo 360 + a BBL on the 15th of October by Dr. Serbulent Guzey. I booked through iMed Istanbul, because they speak Dutch ( I am Dutch) and were one of the few companies that include lipo of the full leg in their quote, and of course the results of Dr. Serbulent are outstanding! ComfortZone was a big no no considering all the horror stories I've been reading.
Innitially I wanted to go to the DR or Colombia, but the long travel holds me back. Also I am afraid they will give me a too dramatic look. Because I want to be snatched, but still look professional as that is very important to me. Plus the amount of infections and blood transfusions put me off.
I have lost about 25KG of weight in the last two years, so this is really a gift to myself. I've been working out 3-4 times a week, but still my thighs don't get the shape I long for. I believe I have a good foundation for the Dr. to work with, to shape and snatch me how I want.
Of course please let me know all of you're experiences, especially if you also went to Dr. Serbulent Guzey or through iMed Istanbul. What are your top tips for me? What was the biggest challenge after surgery? What are your top tips for aftercare? What would you recommend for me to take with while travelling?
I look forward to all your messages, tips and feedback. I promise to keep you guys updated! 165 days till surgery!!!!!

I regret I didn't say I wanted a dramatic look. Because now, I look at myself at 8 weeks post op and wish I was more snatched and that all that pain I went through was for a more outstanding result than I ended up with.

Before surgery I told myself I wanted a "natural" shape and nothing crazy. But after surgery and recovery, you wish more and more you did more. Or at least I wish so. I went to Comfortzone, but wish I could book with Dr Serbulent alone. You made a good choice by go to him private :)

Thanks for replying. Yeah I think I’m literally going to tell him “Dr. lipo everything out of me and put it on my ass and hips”. I believe it’s like having lip fillers. First your like omg my lips are huge and then the swelling subsides and you wished they were more voluminous. Are you happy with his skills/outlook despite looking more natural than you maybe wanted? Also do you wear a good faja with compression?

Hello, how do I book with DR serbulent privately?
May 28, 2019
Hi :),
I used a dutch based company called iMed. But i believe if you google SG Clinics Istanbul you will also find his contact information. Or check his instagram page, it has his details on it as well!
Goodluck!

Hi babe, First of all thank you for sharing your experience with us and I'm sorry to hear what happened to you. May I ask you what happened that you caught an infection is it because they haven't provided you the right aftercare or something else? Are the ignoring you completely? Are you without taking the infection into account happy with your results? Thank you again for sharing!

how much you pay for bbl ? Is leg liposuction included or did you have to pay it extra ?:)
May 1, 2019
Hi!

My quote is € 3450,— this includes full lipo of the abdomen, back and legs + BBL. I believe they charge € 300,— extra for arms and € 150,— for chin

Curvygyals is a really good brand for fajas as well. They ship internationally.

Wow major change! New Dr. Serkan Balta!!

Hi dolls,
So my surgery is only like 7 weeks away and I made a huge change. I was so confident with going to Dr. Serbulent Guzey, but lately i've been having doubts. I was worried he is overworked (one can easily tell from his instagram page, often working till after midnight). Also I was fearing he cares more about his instagram models, rather than the normal girls like myself.
Also I am part of a group (not on social media, a private group), many girls went to Dr. Serbulent and they all have the samen complaint, results are good, but they finishing is lacking. Meaning they have places on the back for instance that aren't lipoed well. They all say the aftercare provided by him is non existent. This was also confirmed by the new provider I contacted (see below), she told me Dr. Serbulent takes about 6 to 8 patients a day and is lacking to finish everyone perfectly. From all the surgeons she works with, he is the only surgeon that her clients have complaints about and need to go back for a fix.
Another girl who is having her surgery around the same time as me was changing to Dr. Balta and put me in contact with an independent provider. This provider works both with Dr. Serbulent and Dr. Balta and gave me a very honest answer. She showed me great results from Dr. Balta and told me all there is to know about him.
I feel 10000000% relaxed now, knowing I picked a surgeon with more experience and less clients per day. Also his package includes after lipo massages, which are so important to your results and recovery. I hope to find here other girls who had surgery with him and can maybe tell me some more about him.
Besides changing Dr., I also changed provider. The provider I was using before got extremely populair in a short time and I believe they can't handle all the questions they get. However the provider I use now works with different surgeons, isn't biased and gives a way more personal service. She responses to my questions basically immediately and really went our of her way to get me an appointment with Dr. Balta on my preffered dates.
They costs are slighly higher, about € 4000,-- for the lipo + bbl, including legs. However this package included two nights at the hospital, intead of one and massages. So it's not really that much extra.
Feel free to ask me any questions or leave me a message. I also will update my whole journey, I promise I won't dissapear after my surgery :).

This is really helpful. I am looking at dr Serbulent but have started to hear similar things. Could you tell me or message me who the new provider you're going with is?
Btw I think you already have a good body, so you should get amazing results.

Hi, I’m happy to hear that my update on the review has helped you. I try to be as honest as I can be, because already I’ve noticed how fake this surgery world is and how difficult it is to find a trustworthy provider. My new provider is Pure Care Travel. She is also from the Netherlands but speaks perfect English as well. Let me know if you have any questions :).
September 8, 2019
Yeah, it is hard to know which surgeons to pick. Some are heavily promoted on Instagram, but I feel they care more about the insta models who have surgery with them rather than just an every day person lol
September 8, 2019
Thanks so much for your reviews, it's really very helpful
September 16, 2019
Good choice to change doctors. I am from the Netherlands too, I considered Imed as well, but some how not convinced about the results. Doing some research on realself and ended with dr. Gokhan Haytoglu, who works with Maya medical, I believe the same agency who works with Serkan Balta. I have a good feeling about Maya Medical, I am curious about the results of from Serkan Balta can't wait to see your results! Did you book with Maya Medical too? I am going in november, still haven't decided if I want additional lipo on arms and chin. I haven't seen before and afters, do you know girls who had lipo on those areas as wel? Were they satisfied?
September 18, 2019
Hi! Yes I’m very happy. Even more since a week ago “a bomb was dropped”. A secret group on Facebook was created with about 20 girls admitting they were botched by Serbulent. They were afraid to come forward with because Imed bashes then as liars. It caused a whole fight and the girls are going to the media and get lawyers because they want their money back. I’m also contemplating on getting lipo on the arms too, from my understanding it all has to do with the strength of your skin. The stronger your skin the better the results. I will upload pictures after my surgery to keep everyone updated :). Good luck with your journey as well!
September 20, 2019
Aaahh thanks for your reply. Awful what the dr. and imed did to the girls, I am glad I didn't choose for imed then. Good look with your procedure!
