23 Year Old- Lipo with Elite Aftercare Izmir, Turkey

Ok. So I've decided to write a review and keep you all updated on my journey because this site has honestly been a massive help to me in my search. It's only right I help out too. I have always had some sort of interest in liposuction, even the idea of body sculpting before this sudden craze/ hype around bbl's etc. However I was quite young at the time (18/19) and simply couldn't afford the prices on London's Harley Street. Recently however, I have grown to dislike my horrible love handles that just won't go away! I wear a UK size 12 and look OK in the odd piece of clothing, but I'm always thrown off by the sight of my love handles bulging out of a bodycon dress! So I decided. That's it, Lipo it is. Anyway, don't want to bore you with all the waffle but after tedious searches (honestly I mean searching night and day for months) I decided to go with Elite Aftercare. Main reasons why: 1) the price is VERY reasonable 2) location- Turkey is much closer to London DR / Miami 3) the service.
On my third point- service, I had initially freaked out because everyone had spoken to a woman called Gina while I have been in communication with Caraline. Thankfully I came across another recent review on here (October 2016) where the lady stated that she had also been in communication with Caraline *phew! Relief*. Caraline has been soo helpful. Literally overly helpful. I sent through an enquiry via email, she responded within one day and answered my questions in detail. From then on I emailed her probably every two days for a month! Some of the questions were silly, repetitive, me being overly paranoid and wanting further clarification but not once did she respond with a change in tone. She was super helpful throughout and has given me an amazing package! Briefly, on the other companies, I found some of them were unwilling to compromise on prices and basically had a "Take it or leave it" attitude. I guess this is what you get with the popular sought after surgeries.
Ok so hitting the nail on Elite and my surgery... After constant back and forth with Caraline, I decided to go with Elite in mid October. I literally paid the deposit (25% of the full price) within two days of confirming my decision and I'm due to have the surgery in a little over two weeks. Return tickets from London Stansted to Izmir was £120. I opted for liposuction to the upper and lower abdomen and the upper back (bra strap area) and lower love handle/flank area. Dr Ali Uckan will operate on me. I want my waist completely snatched in so that I can have that natural curvy look. Caraline suggested a BBL instead of "wasting the fat" from the Lipo but I didn't want it. I have an alright ass and a small curve on the hip area. I trust that all will fit into place and look awesome once my waist disappears! Lol. Another thing I found with other surgeries is that they counted the above areas that I will be operating on as separate and charged accordingly. So for example the upper and lower abdomen was two areas and the upper and lower back were another two. Prices were like £800 per area which is insane as I came across an equal amount of surgeries that said the upper and lower abdomen would be classed as ONE area! This was the case with Elite. As for the price, I'm paying exactly what was quoted on their website. Liposuction on the the two areas is £2000. If I did a BBL it would be £3000. I think the prices and results vary depending on your current weight etc like if you have excessive fat around the stomach area, it might be more costly as a result of having to operate on more areas. My package includes airport pick up and drop off, accommodation, food, garments and medicine (this is standard for everyone). Caraline also offered me complimentary Botox or fillers! I told Caraline that I wasn't up for either and she offered me other alternatives like Lipo on a small area such as the under chin - How nice!
Anyway that's enough of the essay. I'll be in Izmir on the 27th November 2016. I cannot wait. I will keep you all posted [RS bleep]
P.s if you're undecided like I was and have been considering surgery for a while, go for it! Whether it's with Elite or elsewhere. Do what makes you happy.

I have my survey booked and ready to take place in exactly a weeks time but I cannot help but be worried! I've spoken to a few ladies via private messages and looked at some more reviews. To be honest, I just don't feel like the pictures or reviews have WOWed me... A LOT of woman from Elite Aftercare have said "I wish he took more fat from the abdomen area". This worries me because I see several before and afters, I watch doctors perform surgeries live on snap chat and they always manage to take out as much fat that is necessary. I will be very very angry if Dr Ali Uckan gives me some sort of worthless excuse as to why he can't take more fat out. I also feel like the majority of the European doctors that we have here simply do not understand the hour glass figure that we lust after. Instead they operate on you creating a very straight cardboard looking figure. I know I'm sounding very negative now but that's just it, I will be honest with my thoughts and feelings. I feel that not many ppl on here are and it's not helping the newbies that seek advise from our reviews. Finally what jars me the most are those who have posted such splendid reviews about Elite with no pictures whatsoever.... how am I to believe that the review is genuine? One lady on her who is quite experienced with this said that we should be very weary of doctors that only post laying down pics immediately after the surgery. She said that standing pics show a lot more but guess what... Dr Uckan does not do this.

Sighs. I've paid my deposit and booked flights so it is what it is. I pray to God I like my results. If not, the whole world will know.

I've attached some wish pics. I find that these docs tend to not give you that upside down heart shape but. Instead they pump so much fat into the top part of the but which does not give a nice curved shape! This happened to my friend who visited a clinic is Istanbul. Though I'm not doing a bbl, I'm just showing that it is very much possible to look like this straight after surgery. I think it just depends on the Dr's skill and experience.

Hey all! I'm finally jetting off for my surgery in a few days!! Not sure how I'm feeling overall. I received a call from Elite a few days ago about an apparent fake profile on real self that posted a negative review. They were calling round clients who have up coming bookings to offer reassurance and inform us that it's a fake profile. How they are so sure of this, I don't know.... I felt a little uneasy because it made me think that they must be lurking on RS reading our reviews because how else would they have known. I also used that opportunity to express some of my concerns. Whilst they did try to re assure me, I just feel a little on edge now. I emailed today asking a question about payment. And I can't really explain but it feels like there's been a change in tone. It's quite disappointing considering I had such great things to say about Caraline in my first post:(. It may just all be in my head so I won't dwell on it too much.

Anyway, abit of info about my flights and stay. I'll only be spending two nights in Izmir. I was told a while back that it should be ok as I'm having lipo to the torso area only. I land at 9am in the morning on the 27th November and will be collected at the airport by a driver who will take me to the clinic. As I am only there for two days I will be operated on straight away! So I'll have the medical checks etc meet with Dr Ali and proceed with the surgery... provided everything is fine. I'll stay over night till the 28th then move to the villa from the 28th-29th.

On the 29th I'll be collected again and dropped off at the airport. I'll keep you all updated and try to be as detailed as possible with my review. If there's any specific questions you want me to answer or to ask Dr Ali for you I'm more than happy to do so. Just post them below!
