Bad Experience - Strongly Advise People to Avoid This Surgeon
I went to Dr Sade in May 2013. I was in my early forties and experiencing some hollowing under my eyes. I wanted to look into the possibility of a small fat transfer to very localised areas under the eyes and the temples. I went ahead with surgery after being promised an "amazing result... really good".
Seeing myself afterwards was truly one of the most frightening moments of my life. My face had blown up to twice its size and was as hard as a football. I was massively overstuffed in the central section of the face and was left with a "cat"/ Joyce Wildstein look. Only now literally ten years later has it started to ease, but I spent pretty much my whole mid forties unable to tie back my hair or wear a hat as I looked so weird. Added to which a few months later I developed two large hardened lumps of fat under my left eye that I could literally flip about with my finger. I found out this happens when the fat isnt cleaned properly before reinjection, and blood and other foreign matter remains. I had to have a lower eye blepharoplasty with Austin McCormick at the Spire in Liverpool to get it removed when I got back home. Thanks goodness he got it all out. I went back to Sade's Nistantasi clinic a couple of times almost in tears after the surgery, but was told it was all fine and would ease. It never did. The first time I saw him he ran out of the room to get away from me. He knew I'd been over-treated. After this happened, my relationship broke up as my partner was so horrified by my appearance (I really looked like a monster for months) and when I got back to the UK I experienced severe depression and mental health problems which know was partly down to this surgery. I've spent a lot of time in Turkey since and I'm much more used to the culture and people now, and I speak Turkish. I would tell anyone going there for surgery to proceed with extreme caution. Clinics are not regulated anything like as stringently as they are in the UK, Germany or the States. Ultimately I think they are not used to thin, delicate northern European skin that spoils easily. Surgeons train on other Turks who have thick durable meditteranean skin - so they overdo EVERYTHING, nose jobs, boobs, butt lifts, facelifts. Walking down Istiklal now is like a scene from Night of the Living Dead. I am now 52 and very tentively looking into options for a V facelift to deal with the drooping in my (still massively over stuffed) cheeks. I wont be doing it in Turkey.
