A Nightmare

I had surgery with Dr Askeroglu on May 30, 2025 for a liplift SCAR REVISION, and this has been the worst decision I have ever made.
I came to fix a problem and I ended up with a bigger problem. It is a shame for an experienced surgeon to produce such a poor result. I don’t understand how it’s even possible.
I trusted him but I am very disappointed, the result is terrible: not natural and not even symmetrical.

Now I am 3 months post op, the result isn’t natural at all, the space between my nose and my lip is 8mm which is not physiological (it should be AT LEAST 11mm to look good on a woman according to several plastic surgeons’ websites). It looks like my mouth is stuck to my nose, it looks really ugly.
Since surgery I also have asymmetrical lips: on the left, my lip is higher and larger.
The only positive thing is that the scar is better but the global result is a disaster.

I think the role of a surgeon isn’t just to operate but also to give advice and say no when a surgery will lead to a bad result. Even if he couldn't be sure if it was possible or not with the pictures I sent him on WhatsApp, he should have seen during the face to face consultation that in my case it was not possible to get a good result and he should have canceled the surgery after the face to face consultation.
Since then I have been depressed and I regret this surgery every single day.
Even if my scar was bad before, my face was harmonious which is no longer the case. By leaving 8mm of skin between my nose and my mouth there was no chance that the result would be good and he should have seen that before operating me.

I don't know if he didn't see it during the consultation because he didn't measure the distance between my mouth and my nose, or if didn't want to cancel because the operation was scheduled for the next day and he didn't want to lose money, but in any case it was a mistake that could have been avoided.

Dr Askeroglu refuses to admit that the surgery is a failure and offers me no solutions to improve the result, according to him the operation was successful (when it’s clearly false).

Of course you won't see my before/after pictures on Dr. Askeroglu's Instagram account, he doesn't post botched surgeries, so don’t believe everything you see on Instagram.
Think twice before booking a surgery with him because once he receives his money and you leave Turkey, he leaves you alone and without a solution, he doesn’t take responsibility for his mistakes

Thank you for sharing your experience. This clinic is very dodgy, and fully focused on marketing and how something looks to prospective patients (international, ideally, as they can charge more and don't have to deal with follow-ups). It's just about the money, and it is sad they are getting away with dishonesty and hidden agendas (testimonials etc.). No, the bad reviews posted are not by other doctors who are "jealous of Dr Askeroglu's success". He is not as successful as he claims to be. Not all that glitters is gold. Patient safety and consistent great results need to be key instead.

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. I had a LL back in 2020 and I absolutely hated it (still do but have made peace, I used to be in a very bad place mentally over it). Just here to say I am so sorry that you’re in this position, it’s a very difficult place to be. I try and always advise women not to go through with this surgery because the risk is so monumental. Some women have nice results but when it goes wrong, it goes so horribly wrong. And it’s not something that you can fix like a rhinoplasty or something such as that. It’s right in the middle of your face and the harmony of your facial features is crucial. You don’t realize just how much a few mm can bring balance to the face (or leave it looking unnatural and just bizarre). Wishing you all the best and pray you find peace emotionally!
