What patients say about Neck lift

How convenient is the clinic location and access?

Patients describe Turkey's clinic logistics as impressively organized from arrival to departure. Airport pickups are described as 'smooth and efficient,' with patients met directly and transported to hotels. Transportation between hotels and hospitals runs 'on time and efficient.' International patients particularly appreciate having advocates who handle everything at the hospital and provide translation services. Some experienced shuttle delays with wait times extending up to two hours, though the overall coordination remained strong. As one patient put it, everything was 'well organized' and they felt very 'looked after' throughout their stay.

My arrival at Istanbul airport was smooth and efficient. I was met and transported to my hotel. My hotel was lovely. Transportation from hotel to hospitals on time and efficient. I met my advocate at international patient area, she had everything under control, all tests lined up and doctor appointments were fabulous. My advocate translated to my language at every appointment. I’m very happy with the service and I felt very “looked after”. My outcome is excellent and I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care.

I’m so happy that I decided to use bookimed and found my doctor Dr. Safa Manav through them. It was a tedious and time consuming process to find a doctor but bookimed made it easier. The coordinator Defne was the first person who contacted me. Defne is just extremely helpful and great! She’s absolutely an asset to his clinic. She’s always there whenever I have a question. Doctor Safa is so nice and down to earth and I felt very comfortable with him. I chose him because he is an expert and double board certified. The whole team was very supportive and service was excellent! I highly recommend Dr. Safa Manav’s clinic.

I thought the doctor did an amazing job, and Nida🌼 was a godsend, but Sema was a terrible communicator and did not give me correct information many times. She said the shuttle was on its way, and we had to wait two hours before the Shuttle even came her translation skills are less than par, but overall, I was happy with the doctor and luckily I had Nida🌼 Nida!!’

How safe is the procedure?

Dr. Yunus receives specific praise for his surgical technique and post-operative care approach. The surgical teams are described as 'responsive, caring, and highly professional.' Patients express confidence in the safety protocols and medical supervision provided during their procedures.

My Experience at Dr. Med’ Clinic The team was absolutely wonderful. The surgery went smoothly, and I’m truly grateful to Dr. Yunus, all the clinic staff, and especially Dr. Yunus and Akylay. Everything was organized professionally, with care and efficiency. I underwent a deep plane facelift and neck lift, as well as upper and lower blepharoplasty. Overall, I am very satisfied with both the results and the service. My only suggestion would be this: for such major plastic surgeries, the patient should ideally stay at the clinic for at least 3 days under medical supervision. This is essential for proper recovery and peace of mind. Also, I would prefer that Dr. Yunus personally performs the bondage changes, as he does them best — and it noticeably speeds up the healing process. Aside from that, everything was top-notch: the team is responsive, caring, and highly professional. Thank you all for your care and excellent work!

How effective are the treatment results?

Patients report being '100% happy' with neck lift results, with outcomes consistently meeting or exceeding expectations. One noted being 'very satisfied with both the results and the service' after combining neck lift with facelift. Recovery appears smoother than anticipated, with patients experiencing minimal bruising and swelling. Dr. Gürhan Özcan receives particular praise for his expertise and results. Some patients appreciate the 'very elegant' stitching technique that contributes to natural-looking outcomes. One patient mentioned being less satisfied at the 4-month mark, though most express long-term satisfaction with their transformation.

I am very pleased I went through Bookimed to book my necklift surgery. Confidence, my assigned medical co-ordinator was excellent. She answered every question I had and I had lots of them. She did her best to make sure all my needs were met. Dr. Gürhan Özcan is truly a professor and I was lucky I got him to perform my surgery. Along with his expertise, he is also kind and very caring. I even asked him on the spur of the moment to do a temporal brow lift together with the necklift. I will be forever grateful that he did, as I am 100% happy with the results. I highyly recommend this clinic.

How long is the recovery period?

Patients report surprisingly smooth recoveries with minimal visible bruising or swelling after facelift procedures. One patient noted 'not a single blue spot' was observed on their face, while another was 'very happy' about the lack of visible bruising. The post-operative period is described as 'easy' by those who've experienced it. Proper bandage changes by the surgeon notably 'speeds up the healing process.' Some patients suggest staying at the clinic for at least 3 days under medical supervision for optimal recovery, though this appears to be more about peace of mind than necessity.

The surgeon did a good job and gave me good advice. I would recommend him. The nurses and staff were nice, everything was very clean, and the food was very good. I did feel a few times that I was glad I was working with Bookimed and not directly with the clinic management: that the Bookimed team was going the extra mile to ensure a high standard of post-operative care. The medical coordinator who made the appointment for me and provided support throughout was really outstanding. The experience would have been totally different without him.

Our final day checkout was less than smooth. As for everything else, our nurses were quite professional and attentive, and our support staff was excellent! Our Doctor deserves his own mention. He is a master at his craft. All of our initial concerns melted away in our first meeting with him. What he has given us is worth more than all the money in the world. We are eternally grateful!

Will language barriers affect my treatment?

Patients report that language barriers are effectively managed through dedicated translators and coordinators. One Russian-speaking patient noted receiving 'wonderful service' despite not knowing 'any language at all except Russian.' Another praised their advocate who 'translated to my language at every appointment' and kept everything organized. Some experienced occasional communication gaps with coordinators, though this didn't impact medical care quality. Patients consistently describe feeling 'looked after' and well-supported throughout their journey, with translation services ensuring clear communication during all doctor appointments and procedures.

What gave me the most confidence was my surgeon sitting down with me to draw the incision lines right before the procedure
What gave me the most confidence was my surgeon sitting down with me to draw the incision lines right before the procedure.She was very honest about what results would be realistic for my age and even checked on me personally after I woke up from the general anesthesia. The procedure covered my full face and neck, and while it's still too early to tell what the final outcome will be, the support has been good. The staff are always easy to reach. I also appreciated that there were no additional expenses. My main advice would be to arrive a day before your operation for the consultation with your doctor, and make sure to tell them what you eat.
Everything went excellently with the coordinator. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Dr Paysal, who was my surgeon, was kind and knowledgeable.
The staff's English could have been better. The food served was the same for lunch and dinner for two days — chicken and rice. I told them I was vegetarian, but was still served chicken and rice for lunch and dinner.

If you’re considering a deep SMAS facelift, my main piece of advice is to take great care when choosing the clinic itself. Personally, I was very impressed by the doctor and the staff. Before the operation, the surgeon marked out the incision lines and examined me personally afterwards. The coordinator was also in constant contact. My operation involved the neck and lower face, plus lipofilling under general anaesthetic. At the moment, I feel pretty much as I expected. There were no additional costs. However, my overall impression of the clinic is average, which is why my overall rating isn’t very high. So my main advice to future patients is to find out more about the clinic in detail!
The coordinator was always available. No bruising at all – it’s even a bit suspicious; I’m not sure what treatment I actually had. Perhaps it was SMAS rather than deep plane.
The consultation with the doctor took place in his office, not at the clinic! The operation was carried out at the old city hospital! The doctor said very little about the operation, and particularly about the risks! There were far more incisions and stitches than had been agreed during the consultation!

The best part is seeing my neck bands gone already
For anyone considering a neck lift, here’s my balanced take. The surgeon and medical staff were very good, and I’m happy I went with the deep plane technique. The best part is seeing my neck bands gone already. That's a big win. However, the clinic itself was a real letdown and didn't match the quality of the medical team, which is why I can't give a higher overall rating. Recovery is a process; my neck feels comfortably snug and my incisions are still quite red, while the constant compression garment has been the most challenging part. It's a complex recommendation because the surgical care was solid but the facility was not.
The medical staff were wonderful. The nurses were so kind and encouraging. I really felt supported by them
Providing a speedy response to relatives when procedures take considerably longer than anticipated (8hrs versus 3hrs projected). Understanding the anxiety caused by the extra time taken and making it a priority to communicate to relatives waiting for updates.

The surgeon and staff were excellent
My biggest worry was how difficult recovery would be, and whether it would be worth it. The bruising visibility has definitely been the most challenging part, and my under eyes is still quite puffy (fat transplant). Despite that, the improvement in my jowls is already dramatic. My neck feels slightly tight when I turn my head, but it's okay. The surgeon and staff were excellent. My most essential tip is to be prepared: recovery really does require time and patience, plus a lot of help from a friend or partner. Sticking to soups, fruits, and veggies instead of hard food has been a huge help.
I had a deep plane facelift at this clinic, and the entire experience was very positive from start to finish. The process was very well planned, with everything running smoothly and on time, which made me feel calm and well taken care of throughout. The doctor was highly professional, clear, and very concrete in communication. What I especially appreciated was their thoughtful approach. they suggested an additional procedure that I hadn’t originally considered, but which ultimately enhanced the overall result in a very natural and balanced way. I felt supported at every stage, from consultation through recovery. The attention to detail, organization, and medical expertise truly stand out. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone considering similar procedures.
I had no bad experience but the results are still to be visible within next couple of months.

I had excellent communication from Bookimed with regards to information on how to find out more about having surgery abroad. My medical co-ordinator was always just a quick text message away and answered any and all of my queries quickly and professionally. I settled on a particular surgeon, hospital, hotel and price. I paid the required deposit and flew out to Istanbul on the agreed date. As promised, I was met at the airport and taken by car to the hotel, signed in and shown to my room. The next day as arranged, I was picked up from the hotel and taken to Hisar Hospital Intercontinental for the pre-op tests and met with my surgeon to discuss and go over everything. The interpreter was always on hand to help with any language problems. The surgeon was very nice, professional and informative. About 30 mins after paying the outstanding balance I was told there seemed to be a problem regarding the cost of the procedure I was having. The upshot was, they expected me to pay 1500 euro on top of the agreed sum of 5000 euro which I'd already paid. Even though I provided copies of the text messages which outlined what was included in the procedure. I was shown into an office where it was made clear that if I didn't pay this extra sum, there would be no operation. I managed to get the sum reduced to 500 euro, but felt I had been forced/tricked/mugged into handing over more money than was agreed with Bookimed. The hospital blamed Bookimed, saying they should have been more explicit in their description of what's included in that particular procedure, even though one of the messages from the surgeon outlined the exact details of the procedure! I am disgusted at how I was treated and expect something to be done about it. I do want to point out that my treatment from the hospital nursing staff and my surgeon was wonderful, but be it the fault of the hospital admin department or Bookimed, this type of thing like this needs to be rectified. I won't ever use or recommend either establishment again.

Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
My Experience at Dr. Med’ Clinic The team was absolutely wonderful. The surgery went smoothly, and I’m truly grateful to Dr. Yunus, all the clinic staff, and especially Dr. Yunus and Akylay. Everything was organized professionally, with care and efficiency. I underwent a deep plane facelift and neck lift, as well as upper and lower blepharoplasty. Overall, I am very satisfied with both the results and the service. My only suggestion would be this: for such major plastic surgeries, the patient should ideally stay at the clinic for at least 3 days under medical supervision. This is essential for proper recovery and peace of mind. Also, I would prefer that Dr. Yunus personally performs the bondage changes, as he does them best — and it noticeably speeds up the healing process. Aside from that, everything was top-notch: the team is responsive, caring, and highly professional. Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
I really appreciated the staff’s efficiency — their ability to respond quickly to my needs, react promptly to my messages, and show genuine care, empathy, and commitment to my smooth recovery and overall experience.
What I didn’t like was that the consultation took place on the same day we arrived. It was exhausting, as we were sleep-deprived, tired, and unable to fully process the information the doctor was giving us. It was an unpleasant experience. We had booked our flight based on a recommendation from the Doctor-Med clinic’s sales department. Another thing that disappointed us was being hospitalized for only one day — we had to extend the stay ourselves for the second day. I strongly believe that after such serious surgeries, the patient should be hospitalized for at least two days for proper medical supervision and recovery.

The whole team was very supportive and service was excellent! I highly recommend Dr
I’m so happy that I decided to use bookimed and found my doctor Dr. Safa Manav through them. It was a tedious and time consuming process to find a doctor but bookimed made it easier. The coordinator Defne was the first person who contacted me. Defne is just extremely helpful and great! She’s absolutely an asset to his clinic. She’s always there whenever I have a question. Doctor Safa is so nice and down to earth and I felt very comfortable with him. I chose him because he is an expert and double board certified. The whole team was very supportive and service was excellent! I highly recommend Dr. Safa Manav’s clinic.
Everything! The whole experience is great!

He has golden hands, everything was done very carefully and without bruises
On April 2nd, I underwent a facelift and neck lift surgery at Doctor Med Clinic with Dr. Aykut Gok. The surgery was successful, and the doctor was very attentive to my wishes. His skills are exceptional, and everything was done meticulously, with no bruising. I'm delighted to have chosen this clinic and this doctor, and I can only recommend them to everyone. The medical staff is very attentive and professional. I also thank consultant physician Narmina for the detailed and comprehensive online consultation and the bookimed employee for gathering information on clinics in Turkey. I would especially like to highlight the work of my coordinator, Mukhlisa, who provided all the necessary information from my arrival until departure and accompanied me at every stage, leaving none of my questions unanswered. Thanks to her, my entire stay was organized excellently.

The medical coordinator who made the appointment for me and provided support throughout was really outstanding
The surgeon did a good job and gave me good advice. I would recommend him. The nurses and staff were nice, everything was very clean, and the food was very good. I did feel a few times that I was glad I was working with Bookimed and not directly with the clinic management: that the Bookimed team was going the extra mile to ensure a high standard of post-operative care. The medical coordinator who made the appointment for me and provided support throughout was really outstanding. The experience would have been totally different without him.

I recommend going with Bookimed rather than dealing directly with the clinics. They really do their best for you every step of the way.

Our Doctor deserves his own mention
Overall, it was outstanding. I was taken back by the fact the staff was smoking cigarettes in the exam area when we were getting our checkups done on the first day. Our final day checkout was less than smooth. As for everything else, our nurses were quite professional and attentive, and our support staff was excellent! Our Doctor deserves his own mention. He is a master at his craft. All of our initial concerns melted away in our first meeting with him. What he has given us is worth more than all the money in the world. We are eternally grateful!
Watching my wife blossom back into the woman she wanted to see again. Babies suck and women should be given the option of reconstructive surgery as part of their post partum aftercare.
The checkout process.

It’s a pleasure to see you come
In February, I had a circular face and neck lift at the Doctor Med clinic with Dr. Khakan Teymur. I wanted to express my gratitude for the good customer service. Special thanks for the help, and for the quick feedback to Narmina, Mukhlisa and Akylai. I wish your clinic prosperity. It’s a pleasure to see you come.
