My experience with Dr Baris Yigit and his team was overall wonderful and I have been able to achieve results that I don’t believe any other surgeon would have been able to achieve. I am very happy with my decision in choosing Dr Yigit for my 920CC Breast Augmentation.
After researching online for countless days/weeks, The choice of surgeons around Turkey is huge, therefore when deciding on who to go with, it became a tough choice. I spoke with many clinics around the world (I’m based in the UK) and my personal position, as I had BA surgery last year with a clinic elsewhere and currently had 450CC but aesthetically I was displeased with my results and I was desperate to create more cleavage and achieve a larger bust area.
Upon speaking with Dr Yigits team, I was made to feel at ease and it just ‘clicked’, I felt out of all the clinics I had contacted that they understood and were going to give me the results I wanted to achieve. I also didn’t want to choose a surgeon based on price, as I had been quoted half the cost at Dr Yigits pricing elsewhere, but it made me feel comfortable knowing that I was paying a certain amount and not just another number signing up for a too good to be true price.
Booking etc was all fairly smooth, booking travel during a pandemic can be slightly confusing but I managed to book flights etc and co-ordinate with the clinic via WhatsApp/email. It was nice to be able to have the clinic being so responsive and just a WhatsApp message away if I had any questions.
Included in my package was accommodation at The Malahit Boutique Hotel, which is around a 5-minute drive from the clinic. I’ll cover this subject later…
Upon arrival, I was met with the lovely team, within the beautiful clinic. The clinic is similar to that of something you would see in a chic Harley Street clinic here in London. Dr Yigit is so friendly and easy to speak to (all of the team are) I was reassured and felt comfortable that my decision was correct and that I was going to have the most amazing results! I went through various tests, ECG etc (those who have had cosmetic surgery will know the usual procedure), all the testing was straightforward enough. After completing the tests and getting the go ahead, my surgery was booked in for the next day.
The hospital itself is very clean and tidy and the staff are all very welcoming, I was taken to the hospital by the Dr Yigit team and felt very supported. After a short wait. It was surgery time and about 2.5 hours later, I was coming round from the anaesthetic with some that amazing post-surgery feeling and desperate to see the new results! Of course, I was all strapped up in a post-post-surgery bra with drains and my IV all in place. I didn’t feel too much pain, just a manageable level of discomfort. The nurses were all very helpful whenever I needed a hand with something. I felt very weak and sore for the first few days but that was to be expected. I stayed one night in the hospital and had a dedicated nurse who stayed with me. She was so lovely and helpful, however, I would say that she spoke very little English and we communicated via google translate with the Hospitals very poor wifi this proved difficult at times, but we got there. Therefore my suggestion here is to wither give a Mobile MiFi Hotspot to use when they arrive so they have a constant connection to be able to use google translate and speak to family members as sadly my phone signal and data wasn’t reliable or cost-effective enough for me to use all the time. Therefore I would recommend a more robust wifi plan for your patients. And if possible, a fluent English speaking nurse during your first-night stay in the hospital would have been more than helpful
After leaving the hospital, I was transferred back to my hotel room and had a number of days to rest, watch tv and speak with family and friends back home. Fetihye is such a gorgeous town, therefore once you are up to it, get out and explore and take it easy by having a walk along the harbour, the hotel is about a 4-minute walk from the seafront.
However, this is the only negative part of my review, and one, hopefully that the clinic can take on board. After my surgery, it was tough to be able to get out for dinners etc and the Malahit Hotel does not offer any form of room service, they can, however, order food in etc, but that proved very difficult as none of the hotel staff spoke English, therefore if I wanted a hot meal, then I would always have to arrange through the clinic, it would have been nice to be able to do that for myself with the hotel. Sadly the hotel had a huge problem with WiFi, all I wanted to do during my recovery at the hotel was speak with my family etc or watch Netflix. This was completely impossible, the WiFi was so weak and would disconnect and reconnect at random times, therefore having no access to the outside world proved quite hard for me. I walked into Fethiye town centre a few times which is about a 20-minute walk, along the beautiful harbour. However the hotel is about a 4-5 min walk up quite a long dark street to get to the seafront, this made it impossible as a solo traveller to venture out for dinner as I didn’t want to walk up that street on my own to get back from the lovely harbourside eateries.
My personal suggestion is that as I saw in the town area, there were so many beautiful Apartment Hotels located closer to the town area with direct sea views. I just felt the Malahat was a bit out of the way and after seeing the beautiful chic clinic from Dr Yagit, I think that the hotel or place you stay should be up to the same standard. I suggest an apartment hotel as after surgery, all you want to do is a nest at home, therefore by having an apartment-style setup, having access to a cooker, a kettle, a microwave etc. It would have enabled me to cook nutritious meals and make a coffee etc, rather than having to venture out for these as the hotel room has no kettle or facilities as such. Sadly the wifi being non-existent, the location. And view from my balcony and the complete lack of any way of getting food completely put me off the hotel and if this part can be fixed then my experience would have been perfect.
Out of 100%, I’d say my experience was a good 95% out of 100, I achieved the results I wanted with an amazing surgeon which I am very pleased with if they can sort the hotel situation out then the whole trip would have been perfect.
Thanks again.
