Life-Changing Experience with Prof. Dr. Gurhan Ozcan, and the Team at Istanbul Aesthetic Center
I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Prof. Dr. Gurhan Ozcan, my medical coordinator Ege, and the entire team at Istanbul Aesthetic Center. From the moment I arrived, I was met with warmth, professionalism, and an unparalleled level of care.
Dr. Ozcan's expertise and dedication to perfection are truly remarkable. His meticulous approach and ability to understand my goals made me feel confident every step of the way. The results have exceeded my expectations—natural, beautiful, and truly life-changing.
The facilities at Istanbul Aesthetic Center are state-of-the-art, offering both comfort and advanced technology to ensure the best outcomes. The entire staff worked together flawlessly to create a supportive and positive environment.
If you’re looking for a world-class surgeon, an exceptional medical coordinator, and a team that truly cares, I wholeheartedly recommend Prof. Dr. Gurhan Ozcan, Ege, and Istanbul Aesthetic Center. They don’t just transform appearances—they transform lives.
I had a penile penoplasty, lengthening and thickening with Dr. Gurhan Oczan 5 months ago now, I am traumatized by the result, first of all it all started with a lie from the doctor, before doing the operation I asked if the angle of the erection was going to be changed after the operation, the doctor answered "no" that the angle would not change and that there was no need to worry that he was only going to cut a small part of the suspensory ligament, today my penis is no longer attached to my pubis but rather to my scrotum, my erection is no longer stable at all, it goes in all directions and mostly to the left direction due to poor scar healing in the right side, the scar was fragile, the right side of my scar opened on the 2nd day post-operation, the doctor refused to re close it and said that we had to wait until the scar closes by itself, it took 2 months for the scar to be completely closed, two months of suffering with pain with leaking substances and fear of having an infection, then once the scar was completely closed, the scar is poorly closed, the shape of my scrotum is now very asymmetrical between the right side and the left side, the right side was poorly healed, plus I have a hole in my pubis just below the penis because of the poorly done healing,
shaving my pubis has become very complicated and annoying to do with the scar that prevents
the shape of the scar is not in an inverted Y shape like most urologues do but rather in a U shape
all the fat has almost completely melted and I have gained 1cm in flacid only
the fat is poorly distributed, assymetrie everywhere ..
I consulted a urologist specializing in reconstructive surgery after failed surgerys. The doctor was shocked by the result and today I will have to do an expensive operation again for it make the correction and its complicated and not risk free.
it was a traumatic experience, Im affraid to show my penis to anyone today and I haven't had any intimate relations since.
i had complication because of my penis before surgey, now i just want to cut it off.
if anyone can help please contact me
Dr Öcan performed a belly tuck and mammoplasty, and they were fantastic! A kind, highly knowledgeable and caring doctor who will choose the natural look over excesses.
