Was operated by Dr. Ece Kalafatlar for Gynecomastia, this review is 8 months late because I wanted to see the results fully. She did an amazing job recovery was quick and pain was minimal. I recommend this center for anyone performing their first cosmetic surgery.
Vorrei condividere con vuoi della mia esperienza....ho fatto 3 interventi in uno seguiti con tanto successo della dottoressa Ece Kalafatlar liposuzione su la schiena e gambe e plastica addominale io dopo meno di 15 giorni ho ripreso la mia vita cotidiana con lavoro guida mestieri etc . Già da subito mi sono alzata dal letto e non ho mai chiesto aiuto per farlo . Una dottoressa molto in gamba e bravissima
Mi experiencia estuvo genial! Hice la liposucción y bbl el 23 Marzo y ahora me siento más que bien. Mi recuperación fue rápida. La doctora Ece Kalafatlar hizo un buen trabajo conmigo desde el día 1 vi cambios positivos y obviamente todas mis preguntas y dudas ella las respondió con mucha profesionalidad. Todos en la clínica son muy amables y disponibles desde los doctores, enfermeras y la señora que trae la comida y todos los asistentes, también mi traductora Sebnem estuvo A1 me ha dado mucha confianza y tranquilidad en todo momento, muy organizada, sin duda un equipo de trabajo muy bien organizado y profesional. 👍🏼

I gifted a rhinoplasty procedure to my wife on our anniversary as she was a fan of Dr. Ece Kalafatlar's work. I booked her appointment through ClinicsonCall, which was very convenient. When we reached Turkey, everything was arranged beforehand. My wife got her surgery done on the second day after our arrival. Dr. Ece guided her well after the procedure, and the results started to show a few weeks after the surgery. The hospital also arranged our accommodation at the nearest hotel, which is a plus point. The prices were very affordable, and the result of the procedures was exceptional.
