37, 3 weeks post-op mini-facelift - Dr. Gorkem Atsal is the best in Istanbul

I went to see Dr. Gorkem Atsal in Oct 2023. I have been to Columbia twice and this was my third time travelling for medical tourism. Turkey is very modern clean and safe. I felt completely safe at all times. Dr. Gorkem is by far the best Dr. I have used and I plan on seeing him in future. I met him and he is so warm, inviting and compassionate. I choose to do eye (top and bottom) and mid face lift as I’m 37 and I wanted to speak with him prior about a scar from my teens I had on my forehead that made me very insecure. Canadian Drs told me it’s not that bad , pretty much deal with it. When Dr. Gorkem Atsal listened to my insecurity and came up with a plan , I started crying because finally someone took it serious and had a solution. The hospital was very clean and I have no negatives to say. The G hotel where patients stay is amazing. Room service to the door for when you are recovering. There’s also a breakfast every day 7-10 am which unfortunately I forgot about and a few days didn’t have an appetite. Everyone is is all bandaged up so I didn’t feel as awkward as if maybe I was the only one. With this review I really want to express how amazing the Dr. Is. He actually cares about you. His demeanour is so warm , caring and not that of a typical surgeon. I felt I was in good hands and trusted him just by the interaction before surgery. He checked on me multiple times himself after surgery. I can’t stress how comforting he is when I was alone in another country and about to do a surgery. As far as the outcome- it’s everything and more I could imagine. My face is tight - I look late 20s from late 30s. My scar on forehead he fixed it completely - it’s gone!!!! I used to wear side bangs but I’m so excited to just middle part hair and be free from that insecurity. If you’re deciding on wether or not to go - GO! It’s safe clean and you’re completely taken care of in every way. They covered everything! Pick Dr. Gorkem Atsal because as far as talent - he’s the best. He listened to what I want and delivered just that. He does not under or over do it. It’s perfection! The guy who did his nose the same day as me felt the same. Price is competitive to the others I was looking at. He’s not one of the crazy expensive ones. I found him to be in the same range of others - I chose him because his after photos and the videos of him - he’s a caring genuine welcoming human. I trusted my gut and this changed my life. I’m so happy I did because I no longer have the insecurities I did prior to going. I am so thankful to him and his team. They changed my life and how I see myself. I also have to say how since I’ve been home the million questions I’ve had along the healing process, they have gotten back to me so quickly and they’ve been so patient with all my questions I’m so grateful that I chose Dr. Görkem Atsal and his team. If you were thinking about going to Turkey I strongly recommend you go with Dr. Gorkem Atsal and his team you will be well taken care of any concerns you don’t need to worry because they take care of everything all you need to do is just show up and everything is taken care of. I’m so happy I went with him. If you have any questions, feel free [redacted]. I would be happy to answer any of your questions. I am only three weeks since my surgery, but I will keep updating this review along the healing journey.
