I Had an Amazing Experience with Dr. Cakmak.
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Cakmak.
I had face lift, neck lift, eye brow lift , and fat transfer.
I am 53-year-old and for several years I was looking for a right doctor, who will "refresh my face". I was very, very afraid of this procedure.
After consultations with many doctors in USA and Turkey I decided to do my facelift with Dr. Cakmak.
I choose Dr. Cakmak, because 1) he had excellent reviews, 2) he specialized only in face procedures, 3) he had many years of experience, and 4) I liked an online consultation with him (1 hour), during which Dr. Cakmak patiently explained me everything. My surgery was in February 2024. I was very nervous flying to Turkey as I did not know what to expect in an unknown country (I have never been in Turkey before).
I stayed in Wyndham Grand Kalam?? Marina Hotel, that is located close to Dr. Cakmak's clinic in a nice, quiet area by the seaside. My operation lasted several hours. The first night after operation I stayed in the hospital, where I had a separate room with bathroom. The hospital is a top one with high standards. The medical staff was very helpful and took a great care of me all day and night, including helping me to take shower and wash my hair the next day (in USA, after face lift you are not staying at the hospital but you are going home). Dr. Cakmak was the last person I saw before operation and the first person I saw after operation. He was checking on me several times (he is following on me even now while I am in USA, two months after surgery). The procedure went very smoothly. Only the first 3 days were painful as you need to sleep on the back and I was not used to, the face, ears are swollen but it is normal. I did not have nausea, only I did not feel like eating for the first two days. On the 4th day after operation, I was hanging out in Istanbul, exploring its European side, walking at the seaside, doing shopping. Although I was in Istanbul alone, I did not feel it at all, as Dr. Cakmak and his staff took a great care of me, I felt as I was surrounded by a family.
I recommend staying close to Dr. Cakmak’s clinic as Istanbul is very packed, the traffic is terrible and you need to be at Dr. Cakmak’s clinic several times (consultation, to remove stitches, etc.…). I read reviews that there is a language barrier as most of the medical staff do not speak English. It is true that many of the Turkish do not speak English but Dr. Cakmak, Aycha ( Dr. Cakmak's assistant) speak English fluently and many nurses in hospital speak English. Those nurses who do not speak English , use phone translator and there is also a person, English translator, so language is not a problem at all. Dr Cakmak is not only the great professionalist in his field, but he is also a warm and humble person with high ethical standards.
I am very happy with my results, which are very natural. I think, I look at least 10 years younger but my friends say that is not true as I look at least 15 years younger:) Facelift was one of the best decisions in my life.
If you consider a facelift, Dr. Cakmak is the right doctor. I fully recommend him. I know that you may be terrified of this procedure as I was, but believe me, you will not regret it.
Thank you Dr. Cakmak! You are not only a great doctor but also a wonderful person.
