The single positive aspect of this entire process was the staff. They were wonderful. Unfortunately, my experience with the surgeon and the clinic itself was profoundly disappointing, and I'm very concerned with how my otoplasty recovery is going so far. The gap between the supportive staff and the actual medical treatment I received is hard to understand. The facility did not meet my expectations for a medical setting in any capacity. Based on this, I would absolutely not recommend this clinic to anyone considering a similar procedure.

Do not go with bookimed.com. I didn’t liked from the moment when I arrived to airport anyone wasn’t there to pick me up, you know when you arrive any place you have no internet and you can’t make any phone calls or text so night mares already start.

I was so impressed by the results

If you're considering this, here is my honest take on the experience so far. My surgeon did excellent work on my extended tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair; he was present during recovery checks and clearly explained the scar placement. I’m feeling better than expected early on. The financial aspect was a major factor. If I had the same procedure done in the US, I would have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results. All transfers were provided and there were no additional expenses. However, be aware that some staff speak little English, and I frequently smelled cigarette smoke in the corridor. I also had to do my own online research for post-op directions. My coordinating physician did reach out while I was in the hospital and back at the hotel. My advice: only travel alone if you are very strong emotionally and physically, as it was a challenging experience. It felt like another c-section! Pack a good hospital bag with a phone charger and universal adaptor, toiletries, books, and a neck pillow. Photo of me is my Before. I'm one week in recovery, so no After photo yet.

My surgeon did excellent work and the nursing staff kept close post-op care of me. I appreciated all of the provided transfers to and from the airport and between the clinic and my hotel. The whole experience from start to finish was a great value for the price. If I had the same procedure done in the US (tummy tuck, abdominal muscle repair, and lipo), I have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results one week after surgery.

Please be aware that some of the medical staff do not speak much or any English, so they provide support rather silently. Turkish people are also fairly serious, so while efficient and thorough, I was not coddled or babied. Also, there's also smoking allowed in the nurses' lounge or illegal smoking in the stairwell because I frequently smelled smoke in the corridor outside my recovery room while completing my post-op walking. Lastly, I would recommend the clinical staff provide more post-op directions for safe and expedient recovery. Everything I've learned was from my own online research.

The surgery went perfectly

My biggest concern was the coordination from afar, but communication was excellent from start to finish, and all transport was efficient. The surgery went perfectly. The initial results are looking good. The only thing I would change is the hotel; the Veyron was not the 4-star experience advertised. The photos were misleading, and my partner and I were stuck in a small room with no balcony for my recovery, in an area with very few amenities for short walks.

Communication was excellent from start to finish both from the co-ordinators and everyone at the hospital and all transport was efficient. The surgery went perfectly and the results are looking good considering it’s only been a week post op. I would definitely recommend both Bookimed and Istanbul Aesthetics.

The only thing I would change would be the hotel. The Veyron Hotel was meant to be 4 star, but it definitely wasn’t and I’ve stayed in hotels frequently all around the world. The photos were very misleading in terms of the general appearance of the hotel and the facilities. There was only one small terrace at the front of the hotel where people generally went to smoke (we don’t so it’s not pleasant) and our room had no balcony, so me and my partner were basically stuck in a small room for the week of my recovery and the area the hotel was in had very little in the way of shops/ cafes etc when I was able to do short walks. It would have been nice to stay in a resort where we could relax outside to enjoy the sun and eat in different restaurants without having to pay for a taxi.
