Prehistory:
After losing over 40 pounds, I suffered from loose skin and stretch marks on my stomach. Exercise and firming creams did not bring any improvement. So I decided to have a tummy tuck.
The decision for Turkey:
Due to the high costs in Germany, I decided to have a tummy tuck in Turkey. After thorough research and advice, I chose a reputable clinic in Istanbul.
Organization and process:
The organization of the clinic was perfect. Flight, hotel, transfer and the operation itself were organized smoothly.
The operation went without complications. The experienced surgeon Dr. Safa Manav took a lot of time with me and explained every step of the procedure.
Aftercare and recovery:
The aftercare in the clinic was excellent. The clinic staff were friendly and took great care of me.
After a few days in the hotel, I could fly home. The swelling and bruising subsided after a few weeks.
Result and satisfaction:
Today I am overjoyed with the results of the tummy tuck. My stomach is toned and the stretch marks have disappeared.
Conclusion:
The tummy tuck in Turkey was a good decision. The costs were significantly lower than in Germany and the quality of medical care was excellent. Dr. I can highly recommend Safa Manav.

Result: 5 out of 5 stars overall satisfaction
I’ll be honest. I was nervous about getting a rhinoplasty. I didn’t want anything extreme, just a smoother bridge and a more defined tip. Dr. Safa Manav totally got it. He used an open rhinoplasty technique, which he explained would give him better visibility to shape things precisely. And, wow, did it work. My profile is finally balanced. The swelling went down faster than I expected, and his aftercare instructions were so detailed, like when to ice, how to clean everything, and even what to avoid eating those first few days. His team checked in with me regularly, which made the whole process feel really personal.
