Nothing could have been better
My biggest concern was traveling alone, especially after having to make a last-minute booking. I booked on the Friday and flew to Istanbul on the Sunday, but being a lone traveller was not a problem at all. The Memorial was a lovely hospital. My surgeon was fantastic; he was honest about the right Motiva implant size for my body, showed photos of similar cases, and explained the risks of combining an anchor lift with implants. The whole process was great from start to finish. I'm feeling better than expected, and the end results are better than I ever could have expected. Nothing could have been better. The only additional expense was my discharge medication, which wasn’t even £7. I have been so pleased, I will hopefully be booking for a tummy tuck next year.
The whole process was great from start to finish. I only booked on the Friday as I was having big concerns about the surgery I had previously booked in April 2026, for September 2026, through another company.
Booked on Friday, flew out to Istanbul on the Sunday and flying back home today. The Memorial was a lovely hospital and I couldn’t have asked to be looked after better.
I was a lone traveller, but this was not a problem at all.
My surgeon was fantastic and the end results are better than I ever could have expected.
I have been so pleased with my experience, I will hopefully be booking for a tummy tuck next year.
If you are thinking about surgery in Istanbul, I can honestly recommend using Bookimed.
Nothing could have been better, my whole experience was excellent.

Honestly, my recovery so far has been better than expected
The price was exactly as agreed. My surgery for Turbinate reduction also included a septoplasty to straighten my septum, and fix my concha bullosa. Done under general anesthesia. Honestly, my recovery so far has been better than expected. The support has been solid; the clinic stayed in touch, and it was particularly helpful that my doctor was available to answer all of my follow-up questions. That provided a lot of reassurance. Everything really felt like a luxury first class experience. After half my life living off nasal sprays and congestion I’m now ready to live the other part of life with a nose that breathes! Just go for it. Lifes too short to put up with suffering that can be medically fixed!
Warm Doctor and staff, feels like a luxury first class experience.

my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected
If you're thinking about this procedure, I'd tell you that my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected. The whole process felt very supported. It was so helpful that my surgeon took the time to explain the dilation schedule clearly, which made me feel confident about aftercare. The clinic staff have also stayed in touch since I left. Do be aware that you'll need to pay for medications you take with you from the hospital. A final tip: bring your own sanitary towels and be sure to budget extra money for travel, food, and sightseeing, as hotel stays generally only cover breakfast.
Great fast response from Bookimed very helpful information and hospital referral liliia was very helpful in giving me information and guidance

The surgeon and staff were fantastic
The surgeon and staff were fantastic. I'm in the early phase of healing now; while I’m still slightly tired and my mobility is a bit reduced, I can feel myself getting stronger daily. It’s a steady process. Looking back, my only personal regret is that I wish I knew more Turkish to connect with people directly. That said, the translation provided was great and everything was communicated clearly. The whole process was handled with care.
Dorian was excellent. All the staff were great and made the experience so much more pleasant.
Dr Akdimar is the very best physician I have ever seen. He was patient and caring. He helped me deal with a complicated and stressful process. I would recommend both Dr Akdimar and Memorial to my friends and family.
I really ant imagine better are and service.
