My experience with Dr. Manav and staff were excellent. Wonderful! And I would do it all over again. Came here alone from California to have many procedures done at once and I was well taken care of and safe

I’m beyond grateful that I chose Dr. Safa Manav. From the very first moment, I felt understood, supported, and in the best hands. Everything was perfectly organized, all the information was provided at the right time, and the entire team was always kind, attentive, and professional.
I underwent a complex breast correction — an implant exchange, removal of my own tissue, and a lift. I knew it wouldn’t be an easy procedure, but Dr. Manav’s calm and confident manner quickly gave me the assurance that I was exactly where I needed to be. And what can I say: the result is simply incredible — more beautiful than I ever imagined.
My deepest thanks go not only to Dr. Manav for his exceptional work, but also to the entire team for their warmth, patience, and dedication. I felt completely safe and cared for throughout. Thank you for everything — from the bottom of my heart!
I just returned home from my mommy makeover I had done with Dr. Safa (breast lift, augmentation, full tummy tuck with some lipo sculpting) and it was an absolutely incredible experience all around!
I’m not even two weeks post op, but I’m soo happy with my results already! It couldn’t have gone better. Dr Safa and his whole team were extremely kind and took such great care of my mom and I (she had an upper bleph) - the hospital was beautiful, the hotel was so accommodating with a great breakfast spread (we loved that!) it was comfortable and clean! The VIP transfers everywhere were also SO nice, I will miss that!
The whole experience start to now has been so smooth, I’m so happy I made this decision for my self and that I chose Dr Safa. I can’t recommend it enough!
From the very first text message to the present day my whole experience was 5*+
Nothing was overlooked, every question answered, every minute detail discussed and ensured I completely understood exactly what would happen and what was happening, as well as when where and how it would all happen.
I was made to feel and was treated like the most important person alive and anything and everything was taken care of to the best possible standard.
after many surgeries in the US with overpriced & high ego surgeons.. meeting dr safa manav was a breath of fresh air. his energy is incredibly calming and positive. his skills and techniques are beyond anything you will find in the US. i traveled to turkey with my mother where we both received facial procedures, her case was more extreme and challenging, but this doctor was up for the task and performed magic. we are thrilled with the outcomes and its only been 8 days. very much looking forward to continued improvements month by month
Absolutely and utterly pleased with my experience! Amazing doctor. Did exactly what I wanted and asked for. Great at communicating explaining and extremely easy to deal with. Great staff and very helpful and friendly. Thank you Dr Safa, Fatih and Janan ❤️ couldn’t be happier. Exceeded my expectations
I had a breast augmentation with lift last week and Dr Manav and his team have been incredible. I’m from the UK and the whole process from booking with his assistance Belma, to his assistant who guided me through the process once in Turkey, Janan, as well as Dr Manav himself including everyone in between. The facilities at the hotel and hospital were top standard and the staff there were more than helpful and attentive. I am happy with the results of my surgery so far, understand the plans for the healing process and should I consider further plastic surgery in future for anything else, I will be contacting Dr Manav’s office. Thank you all for your support and making this a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
