Plastic Surgery Clinics Turkey

I had my septo-rhinoplasty with Dr. Handan a week ago, after a lifetime of struggling with breathing issues and a deviated septum. While I could have done the surgery in my own country, finding a doctor who really understood both functionality and aesthetics was the most important thing for me. I spoke with six other doctors, but no one convinced me like Dr. Handan did. From my first contact with her team to our video consultation, she came across as incredibly professional, empathetic, and ambitious — a quality I really value because an ambitious surgeon is someone who pushes to give each patient the best possible result. Dr. Handan and her nurses Kübra and Nisa went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and always felt taken care of. She even provided a free shuttle service for my partner and me during our stay, which isn't normally included in the service I had originally booked. This was such a kind gesture that really showed she cares about her patients beyond just the surgery itself. For anyone thinking of doing this procedure internationally, here are my honest thoughts: - The language barrier at the hospital was a bit tricky, since most nurses didn't speak English (thank goodness for Google Translate!). But because everything went smoothly, it didn't end up being a big issue. Recovery, however, was tough, especially during the first week. The swelling was pretty intense for the first four days and has only started to go down now. Just know everyone's body reacts differently, so your experience might be easier for you. - Mentally, it's also a bit of a journey. Your face is going to look unfamiliar at first, and you won't see the final result for six months to a year. While I went into this decision feeling confident, it's essential to approach it without unrealistic expectations of perfection. It's okay to change something you're not happy with, but surgery alone won't create self-love. I'm grateful to have made this decision at 30, a much more self-assured version of myself than I was in my early twenties. - If you're considering rhinoplasty in Turkey, make sure to choose a doctor who's also an ENT specialist if you have functional concerns. When I found Dr. Handan, I immediately felt like she and her team really cared; I wasn't just another number on the list. Plus, recovering by the seaside in Antalya was incredibly peaceful and way better than being in a hectic city. If you've read this far, just know that with Dr. Handan, you're in truly capable hands. I'll keep you all posted with an update in six months!

I was referred to AKL Poliklinigi Clinic as I was told they were world renowned for hair transplant procedures. When I reached out for more information, I received an immediate response from my future Patient Advocate, Ali. He was very informative and kept in contact with me from this point forward and currently still does while I am in recovery. From the moment I arrived at the clinic I was greeted warmly by the receptionist and Ali - I believe this set the tone for my entire visit. I came here to have a much desired hair transplant procedure. Ali met me downstairs and escorted me around the facility and was quite a good translator. He kept me informed of what all the medical staff were saying so I never had a question what they were talking about. All medical staff were professional, organized, knowledgeable, and patient with me even with the language differences. I felt I could fully trust my health and well-being were in caring hands. Through the various rooms I went into I noticed not only was this a state of the art facility, but it was very clean and sanitary as well, which is extremely important to me. The doctors were very meticulous, and did an excellent job - they are true artists. My aftercare was amazing - I cannot say enough about this. I believe the after care recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. I was provided medications with detailed instructions, and how to take care of my procedure post op areas once I flew back home. I am more than happy with my procedure and my results are looking good. Though I am still not fully recovered I can already see what it will look like. I have since referred many colleagues, friends and family, and would definitely choose to come back to AKL Poliklinigi Clinic for any further cosmetic needs. Many thanks to Ali, the kind receptionist, and to the talented doctors who took good care of me. May your clinic continue to grow and thrive always.

During the process of finding a suitable surgeon for a cat eye and temporal/cheek lift I came across Dr Hakan as I was impressed with the results he could achieve on his clients. I decided to have a 3D simulation and consultation to meet virtually with Dr Hakan and also a visual representation of what my results could look like. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable with the doctor. He was very friendly, attentive and thorough in making sure he understood my concerns and expectations. He speaks very good English so communication was very easy. He answered all of my questions during this consultation as well as showing me two potential results via the simulator which made it easier to envision the end result. The deciding factor for me was the fact that Dr Hakan only performs one surgery a day so he can focus solely on each patient as a case rather than other surgeons who do 10+ surgeries a day. I decided to go ahead and book the surgery a couple months after our online consultation. We had another consultation face to face a day prior to the procedure where we went through everything again including details of the op, any incisions, risks and recovery. Again I felt Dr Hakan understood my needs as well as give his own expertise advice. The day of the operation i was welcomed into a clean professional hospital where I would be staying for the night following the operation as well as having my own private nurse who stayed in the room with me to attend to my needs. The staff at the hospital were also lovely and accommodating as well as being highly competent at their jobs. I was regularly monitored throughout my hospital stay and was not discharged until the doctor/staff were fully happy with my observations. I stayed a week in Turkey after my operation and I saw Dr Hakan twice for follow ups as well as staying in regular contact with both the Dr and his wonderful assistant Burhan. It has now been 6 weeks since my procedure and I am already loving the results. Dr Hakan did exactly what I wanted and although the initial recovery was intense , the whole experience has made everything a lot easier and stress free. I have not had any complications and I’m on the road to a smooth sailing recovery. I can contact Dr Hakan at anytime if I have any concerns and I have recently had my one-month follow-up. I would 10000x recommend Dr Hakan as not only is he very knowledgeable and experienced but he is also a very warm and friendly person who makes you feel instantly at ease . I am hesitant to show my pictures on the internet but the results are insane and I’m happy for him to share them with any future clients. Sorry for such a long review but I wanted to write a detailed account of my pleasant experience with this doctor and his team.
