Breast Lift & Reduction Experience
WORTH IT
I travelled to Istanbul from London in January 2026 with my sister for my breast lift and reduction, and honestly, the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish.
My patient coordinator, Mahmoud, was amazing. He handled everything smoothly and kept in great touch with me both before I arrived and throughout my stay. I always felt informed and supported. Unlike other providers I’d contacted, there was never any pressure to make a quick decision or pay straight away when I first asked for a quote.
Going ahead with Dr Murat Polat felt like a total gut instinct. From reading others' reviews online and speaking with his team, I knew I’d be in safe and capable hands. Meeting him for the consultation confirmed it. He made me feel comfortable and reassured. We discussed exactly what I wanted and he gave me advice on what I could expect. I really felt that he listened, understood what I want/did not want and was fully committed to achieving the best results for me.
Both my sister and I were looked after so well. We literally didn’t have to worry about anything apart from catching our flights. A special shoutout to Denisa, the interpreter, who was so lovely and supportive from the first second we met. She also gave my sister some great tips on what to do and see in the city, so that she could still enjoy Istanbul while I rested after surgery.
The hospital staff were also amazing! Very attentive, caring and patient. During my overnight stay, I had a few questions and, despite the language barrier, communication was never an issue. The night nurse was happy to wait while I typed into Google Translate and I always felt instantly reassured by her responses. After leaving the hospital, I still had a couple days left in Istanbul and a nurse came to see me at the hotel on those days. She was lovely and really helped me feel comfortable so soon after surgery.
The whole trip and surgical procedure went so smoothly, with no issues whatsoever. I landed in Istanbul on a Monday, had surgery on Tuesday, spent that night in the hospital and then flew back home on Saturday. I’m now six weeks post-op and everything has continued to go perfectly. It’s so reassuring to know that if I ever needed anything, I could reach out and get a quick, supportive response. Ya?mur has been incredible, checking in weekly via WhatsApp, reviewing my post-surgery photos and guiding me step by step. I’m now at the stage of applying scar gel daily and will be switching from my surgical bra to a sports bra next week.
I am honestly so happy with how my breasts look already. It just reinforces that this was the best decision I’ve ever made. The only thing I’d change is that I wish I had done it sooner. If anyone asks me about my experience or is considering this surgery, I would 1000% recommend Dr Murat Polat without hesitation!
