Honestly, I couldn't fault anything

If you're considering this, my coordinator stayed in touch and really held my hand through it all. The clinic itself feels like a 5-star hotel; it's very clean and modern, and the staff were attentive and nice. My surgeon, Dr. Aysel Pashazade, was professional but warm. During the consultation, she carefully examined my facial structure and was very clear in explaining where the incisions would be placed. After the surgery and discharge, the team was still there for me. I always got a response back, no matter how late it was, which showed they genuinely care about their work. The only additional expenses I had were for antibiotics and painkillers, which cost next to nothing in Turkey. Honestly, I couldn't fault anything.

It felt like Dr

What stood out was the surgeon's personal attention. He personally checked on me after surgery. Beforehand, Dr. Yaman explained his deep plane technique very clearly for my facelift, which also included my upper and lower eyes, brows, and a lip lift. This personal touch was part of the overall atmosphere. Every thing had a positive vibe; everyone was professional and warm, and the facilities and transportation were exceptional. It felt like Dr. Yaman really cared for you as a person. My recovery is progressing about as expected. I received a clear aftercare guide and had no additional expenses. For me, a little more language support could be useful, but it didn't hinder the process.

The operation went very well about the result I am very very happy it looks just fantastic

When I arrived in Antalya, I was received very friendlly, Then we went to the doctor for cosultation. There I was cosulted in detail and we determined the treatment. Afterwards we drove to the hospital for the necesssary examinations. After that we were taken to our hotel. The next morning we were picked up again and taken to the hospital where the staff was very routine and professional and the preparations went very quickly. The aftercare after the operation was excellent, the nurses were really very warm and I felt very well taken care of. The operation went very well about the result I am very very happy it looks just fantastic all in all I am completely satisfied with the whole organization and execution of this trip. My special thanks go to Doctor Sener, and his team for this outdstanding performace. In addition, I would like to thank our care Tarik and Murat very much, they were always available and ensure a really pleasant stay All in all, always happy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s incredible value for the level of skill and comfort you receive

There’s a reason Turkey is the number one destination for medical tourism! I decided to book my procedure at Aktif International Hospital with Dr. Umran after having several consultations with other surgeons in my home city of Phoenix, USA and nearby Tijuana, Mexico. The surgical expertise, care by hospital staff and high end accommodations made my decision to fly to Istanbul a choice I stand behind. I highly recommend booking your surgery at Aktif International Hospital. It’s incredible value for the level of skill and comfort you receive. Many of my friends want to go here for their next procedure after seeing my results.

The warmth of the people I met. Even though I traveled by myself, I didn’t feel alone.

The painkillers post-op weren’t strong enough and I couldn’t sleep for two days after surgery.

About Bookimed service

The booking process was incredibly smooth. I felt very secure throughout the process, and all transactions were professional and trustworthy.

At 50, I looked like I was 25 again!!!

Having decided on facial plastic surgery, I chose a clinic for a long time, where I would trust. After at least 5 online consultations with various clinics, for some reason the choice was made at the Dr.MED clinic and I did not regret my choice at all !!!! I have never met a more friendly, more well-coordinated team !!! The doctor's special approach to his work: his professionalism and golden hands work wonders: I had: Mid Face Lift, Neck Lift, Lower and Upper Blepharoplasty Endoscopic Temporal Lifting and all this amount of work, which was performed by Dr. Khakan Temur in just 7 hours. The effect is unpredictable for me !!!! At 50, I looked like I was 25 again!!! I am very grateful to Dr. Khakan Temur for professionalism, Narminochka and Samra for their friendliness and experiences, for professional organization. I got the impression that this team works 24/7 Good luck and development !!! I will definitely visit you again, now without hesitation !!!!

I'm still in early recovery, and I'm feeling better than expected

My surgeon was very honest about what constituted realistic results for my age and took the time to explain exactly where the incisions for my lower face and neck procedure would be placed. That conversation set the tone for the entire process. I'm still in early recovery, and I'm feeling better than expected. The clinic staff has been easy to reach and has stayed in touch, which is comforting. Be prepared for some additional expenses, like extra lab tests and all meals except breakfast. My one piece of advice is to ask the clinic beforehand if your hotel is in a walkable area, as that can make a difference.

Translator took care of all my needs Spoke excellent English

The hotel could have been in a better area for walking and restaurants

I wish all the staff Akylay who helped me through this a big thank you

I came to turkey on my own. The staff were lovely and so supportive. I felt secure and well cared for. I was treated at Hospital. My appointment with Dr suggested a few tweaks to the initial treatment plan and I was reassured by this that he had my best outcome in mind. He was very professional and gave you lots of confidence. I met my anaesthesiologist and the chief medical director. There was not one time I felt that I did not know what was going on. I wish all the staff Akylay who helped me through this a big thank you. It is only 5 days post surgery. But my checkup with Dr MED today went well. Very little pain and swelling going down nicely. A special mention to the staff at hotel Modus who looked after me with bags of ice for swelling and lovely food and to Akilay who was my guide through all this and made sure that not only did I get everything I needed…….but I made the most of my time here in Istanbul, which is a beautiful city.

It is because of Aliser that the decision was made to come here

Aliser Durdıyev is a jewel in the crown of Florence Nightingale Hospital. Available 24/7. Speaks excellent English. Arranged everything including sightseeing tours. I was completely safe as a single female in Istanbul for my surgery Wonderful MDs and cuisine I’m in the medical field and Istanbul met my exacting standards. I m so glad I came rather than South America. As language barriers are greater there. It is because of Aliser that the decision was made to come here. And even in spite of international concerns ,Istanbul is still one of the best medical destinations

About Bookimed service

Aliser Durdıyev is the reason I came to this amazing city. I’ve been various places in the world but am totally impressed with the culture here My plastic surgeon Dr Ahmet Yuvaci was well trained After 2 video meetings I knew he would be the correct choice for 65 and older face lift. The results are excellent And Aliser arranged the connection. By the way. I had spent months in discussions with 4 or 5 MDs before this final decision

The result of the facelift turned out really good

Good communications with the clinic and Dr. Aysel Pasazade was great and professional. The result of the facelift turned out really good. The nurses were also very nice and made my stay at the clinic a positive experience. I recommend to arrive early the day before surgery to have the consultation because it can be stressful in the morning on the same day.

Good communications with the clinic and Dr. Aysel Pasazade was great, professional and makes great results. The nurses were really nice and made my stay at the clinic a positive experience.

I wish I would have came earlier the day before surgery to have a consultation with the doctor. I was appointed a new doctor (the day before) and advised to do a different procedure (on same day as surgery) so I had to make decisions on the spot. I was offered the oppertunity to have a consultation the day before if I would have arrived early, and thats something I would really recommend to others.

I would give 5 stars to Dr Ali

I would give 5 starts to Dr Ali. I was having problems that the doctor had no control over. Anesthesia was not sufficient as I woke up in excruciating pain. Nursing care at the hospital was inconsistent and at times subpar. Also, $500 was stolen from the safe at Antwell hotel.

While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already

My main concern before traveling was getting a result that didn't look like me. My surgeon was fantastic in addressing this; he was honest about realistic outcomes for my age, carefully examined my facial structure, and showed photos of similar patients. We agreed on a deep plane facelift for my face only. While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already. It's gonna be perfect after the swelling settles down. My one critique is that I would have loved to get some more specific and detailed info on the techniques. Getting my whole medical report would have been nice. On a practical note, there were no additional expenses. My advice for anyone considering this: take your time and trust the process. Be prepared for some facelift blues and buyer's remorse during your initial recovery—it's part of it.

On the whole, I was really satisfied with everything

The conversation with my surgeon before the procedure was very direct; he discussed the risks and the full recovery timeline clearly, which helped me prepare. On the whole, I was really satisfied with everything. The doctor was very nice and very helpful. The staff were very friendly. It was also a relief that there were no additional expenses beyond the agreed price. I'm still healing. The clinic has been easy to reach with my follow-up questions, which is reassuring during this period of recovery.

Two thirds of the face lift, neck platysmaplasty, temporal lift, lower laser eye resurfacing and not a single bruise, it is impressive!

Excellent medical staff. Very positive and friendly attitude to patients. Kudos to the surgeon for his jewellery work. The only thing I would like to improve is the communication between the interpreters, which would improve the organisation in some issues. It is too early to say about the final result, but two thirds of the face lift, neck platysmaplasty, temporal lift, lower laser eye resurfacing and not a single bruise, it is impressive!

Attitude to patients, professionalism of surgeon and medical staff. Good hotel.

That I never saw the surgeon after the surgery.

My incisions seperated and bleeding. No adequate assistance offered.and no one turned up. They treated me like I was a nuisance and warned me never to come to the clinic. I was abused verbally by the surgeon. Dr Aykut is arrogant, obnoxious and rude. My nose is hideous, and far worse than before. My nostrils are now to the front of my nose and my columella is massive, and so is my tip. It was the biggest mistake I have ever made. Even when I was bleeding on and off, the surgeon shouted at me and told me not to come to the clinic. The co-ordinator is so bad at communication. I do not recommend this clinic and I am so distressed about my nose. I feel that he butchered my nose. 1st 2 photos after surgery, 3rd photo before surgery at the clinic. Hideous. My nose wasn’t bed before but now it has been butchered with a hanging middle columella and massive nostrils with a bulbous tip. No amount of swelling will ever hide the fact that this is a botched result.

I am too distressed to even consider anything that I liked. It was a horror story

Dr Aykut was awful. His surgery results and his manner was dismissive, rude and arrogant. The excessive bruising was as a result of the surgeons roughness. No photos taken to evidence results. No digital simulation for nose pre-op as promised. My under eyes were excluded from the process, yet No discount offered. The disregard for their patients is shocking.

About Bookimed service

Bookimed failed to assist me in getting the surgeon to attend to me when my liplift seperated. They were not impartial and I felt ganged-up against. No effort or oversight was given to my my medical emergency and I was given the impression that the surgeon would be available for aftercare during my stay in Turkey

Unfortunately, my experience with this clinic was extremely negative. The initial consultation lasted no more than 20 minutes; everything was rushed and felt pressured. There were many strangers in the room, and there was no sense of privacy. The main focus was not on explaining the procedure, but on urgently signing documents and paying the full amount. The prices turned out to be significantly higher than advertised. For example, the cost of a Doppler (ultrasound) scan of the lower limbs was not initially disclosed, and it later transpired that they charged around €500 for it, although such a procedure usually costs a fraction of that. When asked about this price, the response was along the lines of ‘we are a premium clinic’, without any specific justification. The conditions at the clinic do not match the advertised standard: the ward was dirty, and there had been virtually no cleaning for two days. The staff speak neither German nor English, which makes communication very difficult. I had to wait up to 30 minutes for pain relief. The documents I signed were only issued to me a month and a half later and after numerous reminders. I would like to make a special mention of the coordinator (Elif): replies were delayed by anywhere from a few days to several weeks, or did not arrive at all. After complications arose, I was left without support or a solution to the problem. Overall, it feels as though everything at the clinic is run on an assembly-line basis, with little regard for the patient. I categorically do not recommend either the clinic or the doctor.
