I'm really happy, it's been 6 months and I haven't had any problems. I had rhinoplasty. The image has completely changed. I have a natural nose structure. Apart from this, there was a deviation, I was not aware of it, but Dr. Özlem did this. She also noticed and said she fixed it. I didn't get a tampon on my nose, so I didn't have any problems. There was no swelling and bruising thanks to the techniques she used. My friends around me were surprised by this situation, I did not encounter any negative situations. Highly recommended!

Thanks to the skillful hands of Dr. Özlem Çolak, I erased the effects of my breast aesthetic operation, which I had 20 years ago and was not satisfied with and has been a problem for me since then. She is a doctor who takes great care of her patients. We sat down before the operation and talked about the possible pros and cons of the operation and how it could be done. In this sense, Dr. Özlem is a person who is very interested in the patient and shares the necessary information with the patient at length. The operation, on the other hand, turned out very well beyond all my expectations. I would recommend her to everyone.

My sister had BBL two years ago from Dr. Özlem Çolak and had amazing results. On my recent trip to Turkey, I booked an appointment with her to have the same procedure. I was nervous before the consultation, but the doctor was very kind. We discussed everything in detail. The surgery went well, and I was totally satisfied.

Bugünkü randevusuna yarım saat geç kalıp , ardından bir özür bile dilemediler , üstelik telefonda verdikleri operasyon ücretinin 3 katı fiyat verdiler. Tamamen zaman kaybı oldu .

Nişanlıma yapmış olduğu dolguların ömrü 2 ay bile dayanmadı. Kaşına yapmış olduğu işlemin hiçbir farkı olmadı. Defalarca söylememize rağmen asistanı tarafından hep geçiştirildik. Tamamen bir rezalet, paranıza yazık etmeyin.

2022 Mayıs ayında devlet hastanesinde Özlem hanıma burun estetiği ameliyatı oldum . Burnumda belirgin bir asimetri farkettim fakat doktor 6 ay içerisinde burnumun ödemlerinin inmeye oturmaya başlayacağını söyleyince rahatlamıştım fakat kabus gibi geçmedi ve burnumda belirgin derecede yamukluk var gittiğim 1 özel ve 2 ayrı ayrı kbb ve plastik cerrahide de burunda içten dıştan eğrilik olduğu tespit edildi . Maalesef revizyon ameliyatını doktorlar kabul etmiyor ve Özlem hanımda artık orda görev yapmıyor hayatımda bu kadar pişman olduğum birşey daha yok ve keşke böyle perişanlık çekeceğime direk özel bir klinikte garantiye alıp işlem yaptırsaydım en azından belki muhatap bulurdum çok üzgünüm 😖

Ben hastalarına bu kadar önem vermeyen ikinci bir doktor görmedim. Eğer ölmeyeceksiniz kesinlikle yanından geçmeyin. Hatta onurunuzla ölün o kadar yani. Hastalarını gel diyince gelen, git diyince giden insanlar olduğunu düşünen bir insan.
