poor service and mediocre results

7 months ago I made the decision to do a tummy tuck procedure and liposuction with Dr Balik, i flew over to Istanbul and had the consultation the next day, While we were having the consultation that’s when I started having second thoughts, dr wasn’t really paying much attention and not really interested in exactly what I wanted, I had done a previous liposuction which was botched and left me with inverted nipple and I specifically told him I wanted this corrected and to remove as much fat as possible from the areas I had chosen. The nipple issue was corrected just temporarily as fat was injected in my chest which gave it a more aesthetic look but no actual work was done to fix the issue permanently. Not enough fat was removed during the surgery and I made a complaint right after and they just claimed it was swelling I asked for a second surgery and they performed it as my whole body was out of proportion. The assistants are so nice and professional before you attend and pay once you pay them you will not get the same treatment and they pretty much won’t want to see you again after if you’re a foreigner. I paid a total of $19,000 AUD for my surgery which included accomodation, transfers and post op care. The accomodation firstly was really poor service, secondly my transfer back to the airport when I was going back did not even come which resulted in me missing my flight and having to pay for another one which costed an additional $1500. They had archived my messages and completed ignored my calls, I was so furious at that point, I even had to pay for my own medicine after the surgery. I asked for a lymphatic massage to help with my swelling and they told me to come to the clinic then they turned around and said sorry we can’t do that for you after I got there by myself still in so much pain. I was offered a refund for these things I sent my bank details and they never sent me the money back. The Dr did come check up on me in the hospital, and at the clinic for a few minutes and that was the last I heard from him. My abdomen is flatter and physique does look better but not the optimal results I was hoping for. I definitely got ripped off and the effort did not meet the price I paid, please save your time and money and do more research on finding a better clinic/surgeon.
