Gynecomastia Surgery with Dr Oner - 100% Recommend for Anyone Thinking About It!

WORTH IT
I recently had gynecomastia surgery with Vanity Clinic and wanted to share a full, honest review of my experience and why I’d absolutely recommend them.
I first contacted them through their website and within hours received a WhatsApp message from one of their care coordinators. She explained everything clearly, answered all my questions patiently, and got my surgery booked very quickly.
The price was extremely reasonable — I was quoted £2500 and only needed to pay £250 to secure the date. This included:
- Surgery
- 7 nights at the Mercure Hotel in Istanbul (4 star)
- 1 night in a private hospital room for recovery
- All airport, hotel and hospital transfers
When I landed in Istanbul my driver was waiting with a Vanity sign, which made everything stress-free straight away. Because I arrived late in the evening, I was taken directly to the hotel rather than the hospital for blood tests.
The hotel was excellent. Check-in was smooth and they have 24/7 room service which was a lifesaver as I hadn’t eaten much that day. The room was spotless — large bed, desk, TV, modern bathroom and a great view.
My care coordinator, Berfin, stayed in contact with me constantly via WhatsApp. She told me surgery would be the following day and reminded me to complete a full 8-hour fast beforehand. The next morning my driver collected me and took me to the hospital.
At the hospital everything was incredibly professional. Blood tests were done quickly, paperwork was straightforward, and I was shown to my private recovery room which was perfect — clean, comfortable, spacious and equipped with a smart TV (Netflix included, which helped massively).
The nurses were kind and attentive, inserted my cannula, and guided me through the preparation before I met Dr Oner.
Dr Oner was outstanding. He immediately put me at ease, explained the entire procedure in detail, answered everything calmly, and made me feel completely safe and confident going into surgery.
After the procedure I woke up expecting severe pain but it was honestly very mild (around 2/10). The only uncomfortable part was the drains, but those were removed not long after. The pain overall was never unbearable.
The nurses checked on me regularly throughout the night, managed my medication, and even encouraged me to take a gentle walk which helped recovery.
The following morning the hospital arranged my medications through a local pharmacy (around 800 lira, very affordable). I was then discharged and transferred back to the hotel.
Recovery at the hotel was smooth and comfortable. Over the next few days I felt well enough to explore parts of Istanbul which made the whole experience even more worthwhile. I had my follow-up appointment the day before leaving and the doctor gave me clear guidance for 1-month, 3-month and long-term recovery.
I’ve only just been able to see my results properly as I’ve been wearing the compression vest continuously since surgery, but I’m extremely happy so far. Some swelling is still present which is completely normal and will settle as my body heals.
Overall, this experience exceeded my expectations. I was nervous about travelling abroad for surgery, but from the moment I arrived and met the driver, through constant communication with Barfin, to the professionalism of the hospital and Dr Oner, I felt looked after every step of the way.
If you’re considering gynecomastia surgery and feeling unsure, I was exactly the same — and I’m so glad I went through with it. I would 100% recommend.
I have attached some photos of me a couple weeks pre-op to me 6 days post op - obviously these aren't finished results, there is still swelling and fluid buildup however this is to be expected, actual results will not be visible until 4-6 weeks post op when everything has a chance to settle and the compression vest can do its job.
I really want to thank Dr Oner for his work - I've had gynecomastia ever since I was a teenager, its impacted my life in so many negative ways. This surgery has been genuinely life changing for me and I am very grateful.
