Breast Reduction/Uplift

I flew from London to Istanbul for my breast reduction and spent two nights in Dr. Ay?e’s affiliated hospital, (Erdem Hospital) then three nights at the Hilton Garden Inn (breakfast and shuttle included).
• Day 1 (Arrival & Admission):
• Quick sign-in with minimal wait.
• Routine blood tests, paperwork signed.
• I asked for copies of the consent forms afterward to read at leisure—hospital staff were happy to provide them.
• Day 2 (Surgery Day):
• First in-person consult with Dr. Ay?e: she reviewed my goals, drew surgical markings, and answered all my questions.
• Her assistant collected payment while I changed into a gown and compression socks.
• Post-op, I was cold—so they kindly provided a heated blanket, which made a world of difference.
• Days 3–5 (Recovery & After-Care):
• Nurses on the ward were efficient, though a bit brisk compared to UK standards. (Note: they report to the hospital, not Dr. Ay?e directly, so bedside manner varies.)
• On Day 4, drains were removed at the Hilton by Dr. Ay?e’s assistant nurse—completely painless and swift.
• Hotel Stay (Hilton Garden Inn):
• Immaculately clean, spacious room.
• All the usual amenities plus a hot breakfast buffet—essential for post-op energy.
