Breast Reduction
WORTH IT
When researching clinics to go to in Turkey for a breast reduction I came across Vanity and they had so many great reviews that I decided to get in touch with them through their instagram account. I was then contacted by my patient coordinator Zeynep who was very helpful and quick to reply with answers to any questions that I had. After sending her my photos and paying a small deposit she was able to book me in for a date and all I needed to do was book my flights. I travelled alone from Ireland so I was a bit nervous and scared as I had never had any surgery before and I was flying to another country. Zeynep was in touch with me leading up to the trip, and as soon as I landed in Turkey and turned my phone off aeroplane mode I had a message from her welcoming me which was so reassuring. The driver for Vanity was very friendly, he helped me with my bags and made me feel very comfortable. He brought me to my hotel and the hotel room was lovely, clean and spacious.
The next day I was picked up and brought to my consultation with the surgeon and this is when I met my new coordinator Ayla. Ayla was such a friendly and positive girl, she speaks great English and I would always look forward to seeing her while I was there! My surgeon was Dr. Sinem Eroglu and I honestly couldn’t have been happier, she is amazing! She made me feel so at ease and confident with my decision and after meeting with her instead of feeling scared I was actually excited to have the procedure. After my consultation with Sinem I was taken to get some routine tests done which included blood tests and an ultrasound. The ultrasound actually showed that I had a cyst in one of my breasts so I had to have an extra consultation with a doctor to ensure that I was cleared to have the surgery. While this was unexpected, I was very grateful that Dr. Sinem was so thorough and that my health was their primary concern. After this consultation I was given the all clear to go ahead with the surgery and was told the tissue that they removed during the procedure would be tested to make sure there was nothing for me to worry about.
On the third day I was brought to the hospital and Ayla was right there with me. She spoke with all of the hospital staff on my behalf as they spoke Turkish, and she translated for me to make sure I understood anything that they were asking and the paperwork that I needed to sign. I was brought to my own private room where I met with Dr. Sinem, got prepped for surgery and then was brought to the operating room. When I woke up from the surgery Dr. Sinem told me it was a success and Ayla was there waving at me and I felt so relieved! I was brought back to my room where I slept for a while and then one of the lovely nurses came and brought me for a little walk around the ward and I was brought something to eat. I didn’t feel any bad pain, the nurses would come in and check on me frequently. The only problem I had while at the hospital was that my phone wouldn’t connect to the wifi and I wasn’t able to contact my family in Ireland to let them know what was happening. One of the nurses did manage to sign in for me just long enough to send a few messages home, but if you are travelling alone this is something to be aware of. The following morning Dr. Sinem came to check on me and I was told I was ok to go back to the hotel which I was happy with.
The hotel that I was staying in had an infirmary with a nurse on call 24/7 which was very reassuring for me, there were even two buttons in my room which I could use to alert the nurse in case of an emergency. For the next few days I just focused on resting and I didn’t feel much pain at all. The hardest thing for me personally was just sleeping on my back as I normally never would but I propped pillows beside me in the bed and this helped to stop me from turning. After a few days of resting and using room service I had my follow up appointment with Dr. Sinem, and everything went great! She explained all of the aftercare to me and wrote down what I would need to do for the next few months. I said goodbye to Ayla as I wouldn’t be seeing her again, but if I needed her she was there and I could message her at any time. When the week was over my transfer picked me up and brought me to the airport and I was on my way home. In the days after flying home I did experience some pain but I think this was due to having a carry on bag, and while it wasn’t very heavy it was a very long day of carrying it. So if you are planning to travel alone I would definitely recommend either a carry on bag with wheels or just a very light one. It’s now two weeks since I had the procedure done and I am so happy with the results! I contacted Ayla after arriving home about some new bruising I noticed and she was very quick to reply letting me know that the doctor said this was normal. I don’t have much pain, I have mainly been getting ‘zappers’ which is a good thing as it means everything is healing. This breast reduction is something that I’ve wanted for years and I couldn’t afford to do in Ireland, I only wish now that I had gone to Turkey for it sooner. I would not hesitate in recommending Vanity and Dr. Sinem to anyone, and if I consider getting any other procedures in the future I will be going back to them!
