Work experience -

My experience with the clinic was honestly amazing from start to finish. Kevin took care of all the arrangements and made the whole process feel very easy and well organized. Whenever I had questions or felt unsure about something, he was always available and very reassuring.

The nurses were extremely kind, gentle, and supportive throughout my stay. I felt well looked after at every stage, and the results turned out even better than I expected.

A big thank you to Kevin, Dr. Mehmet Akif, and the entire Estherian team for their care and professionalism.

My experience with Estherian Clinic was truly beyond expectations. Everything was very well organized, and every person I interacted with was helpful, polite, and friendly.

The medical assistant Nada was very kind and informative, making me feel comfortable and supported. The translators Anthony and Khadija were also extremely helpful and always ready to assist. Sonia at the dental clinic was welcoming and explained everything clearly.

Dr. Mehmet Akif performed my liposuction procedure, and I am very happy with the results. He was calm, patient, and open to discussing all my concerns, which made me feel confident throughout the process.

All nurses and staff were professional, kind, and attentive. Everything was done on time and properly coordinated. I truly appreciate the whole team.

I underwent several procedures at Estherian Clinic, including tummy tuck surgery, 360-degree liposuction, G-Plasma, and Brazilian Butt Lift. I am genuinely very pleased with the entire journey.

From the very beginning in the Netherlands, Turhan Yildiz guided me through the process. His communication was outstanding, always patient and reassuring. He helped ease my anxiety, especially since having surgery abroad and not speaking the language felt quite overwhelming at first.

Once I arrived in Istanbul, everything was perfectly arranged. Airport pickup, hotel transfer, clinic visits, and transportation back were all handled smoothly and professionally.

At the clinic, I was supported by an interpreter named Maryam, who was incredibly kind and helpful. She guided me through every step of the medical process and made everything feel simple and safe.

My surgeon, Dr. Mehmet Akif, was calm, professional, and very attentive to my expectations. He took the time to listen carefully, which made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision. The surgical results are very satisfying, and my recovery went faster than expected. During follow-ups, everything looked excellent.

The clinic staff were all friendly and welcoming, which created a very comfortable atmosphere throughout my stay.

After returning home, I continued communication with Turhan, who remained supportive and responsive, which I really appreciated.

In summary, I am very satisfied with the clinic and would confidently recommend their services.

I feel very fortunate to have met Dr. Akif. He is a calm and highly attentive surgeon who explains every stage of the treatment in detail and answers all questions even before they are asked — he naturally provides all the information in advance, which greatly reduced my anxiety before surgery.

Before the operation, I was very tense. The doctor honestly explained that completely invisible scars are not possible, but that they become minimal over time. He also said that the procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 3–4 hours, after which patients usually stay in the hospital for 3–6 days. Drains are placed and typically removed around day 3. Pain is more noticeable during the first two days and then gradually decreases — in my case, everything happened exactly as he described.

He uses modern surgical techniques and specialized instruments that reduce tissue trauma and pain. This was truly confirmed in practice, as my discomfort was minimal. Everything he explained beforehand matched the actual recovery process.

Now it has been one week since the surgery, and I feel very well. The doctor regularly checked on me and followed my condition closely, which was very reassuring psychologically. My fears did not come true — even in the first days, the pain was milder than I expected.

The incisions were made in an inverted T-shape and covered with protective waterproof dressings. I was also prescribed compression garments to be worn for 3 to 6 months. I am now fully mobile and able to take care of myself without assistance.

I am very satisfied with both the result and the recovery process. Looking in the mirror, I feel confident that I made the right decision. If you are choosing a surgeon, I can recommend Dr. Akif without hesitation. He is also known for complex reconstructive procedures, including operations after severe limb injuries.
