I met Dr Cenk, the visit was good, but I only had a quick chat and no treatments. I can only say they have modern furniture. The workers are polite. And it looks clean

Everything was much more than I was expecting, the clinic was really beautiful and people very kind and friendly. Anna helped me with all my inquiries and she prepared everything for my arrival. She is sweet and kind. I do recommend Bookimed!
It was quick and professional. The operation was perfect and I experienced amazing post surgery care. Great treatment and fantastic results. The clinic is very clean, all the people working there are extremely efficient and kind. My doctor (Dr. Ergin Er) took time to answer all my questions and he adapted to my needs. Thank you Khalil! For being incredibly patient with all my questions and caring all the way. Highly recommended!
Girişteki bekleme kısmı çok bakımsız sanırım sigara odası. Bir sağlık kuruluşuna yakıştıramadım .
onun ki gibi maharetli bir yüz, merhametli eller, seçkin bir iş az bulunur.. saraylarda tabloları süslüyor.. bence dünyayı iyi güdülmüş bir estetik kurtaracak.
The overall experience I had with this clinic was great. It's only been a short while since I had my treatment so I can't see my results yet. Everything else was great though.The facilities were good and the staff treated me very well. I have no complaints to be made about my trip or my procedure.I do recommend Vita Estetic to anyone out there thinking of making a hair transplant !
I had my hair transplant 1 month ago and I got 3600 grafts in one session. It was a truly outstanding experience. The doctor knew what he was doing. So excited to see my results now. Hotel was great and their Whatsapp contact has always been there for me. Thank you so much Vita Estetic !
3 Seans fraksiyonel lazer yaptırdım. Herşey tek kelime ile kusursuz :) Çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve Arda bey kesinlikle işinin uzmanı. Eğer aklında soru işareti olan varsa çekinmeden gidip görüşebilir emin olun pişman olmazsınız.
Benim yüzümde kazadan kalan kesik izleri vardı. Maalesef çok kızarık ve kötü gözüküyordu, düzensiz olduğu için hiç bir estetik cerrah ameliyat olamayacağını söyledi. Arda bey lazerle izlerin hafifleyeceğini söyledi. Şuana kadar 4 seans lazer tedavisi gördüm, izlerim hafifledi, artık aynalara daha rahat bakar oldum. Lazere artık gitmiyorum ama tıpta herhangi bir gelişme olursa tekrar Arda beyin yanına gideceğim.

What is facelift?
Facelift is a cosmetic surgery that allows giving a face a more youthful appearance. During a facelift, excessive skin is removed, and then a doctor forms a “youthful” contour of the face or neck. As a result, the skin becomes smooth, young, and without wrinkles.
Facelift can be performed both in a surgical and a non-surgical way.
What are the indications for facelift surgery?
Facelift surgery is recommended for people aged 40-60. Rarely, but it can be also performed for patients aged over 70. Indications for a facelift procedure may be the following:
- double chin
- droopy eyelids
- deep facial wrinkles
- drooping eyes corners
- vertical wrinkles on the cheeks
- facial soft tissue ptosis
- excessive fat and loose skin on the neck.
If you are not satisfied with your appearance and want to do facelift surgery, consult with a doctor to decide whether you are a good candidate for the procedure.
What are contraindications for facelift?
Modern facelift techniques are safe and do not have many contraindications. However, in the case when a surgical facelift is performed, a procedure is not recommended for people with:
- neoplasms (especially, malignant ones)
- bleeding disorder
- severe diseases of the internal organs
- some disorders of the nervous system
- severe hypertonia
- epilepsy.
To the relative contraindications may be included the following conditions:
- pregnancy
- lactation
- infections
- inflammatory processes
- skin diseases.
If you have any of these conditions or other health disorders, inform your doctor to discuss the possibility of facelift surgery in your case.
What is a preoperative preparation for facelift in Turkey?
Preoperative preparation for facelift surgery in Turkey can differ depending on the type of procedure. Fora surgical operation, it consists of the following steps:
- A doctor surveys a patient; the future result is discussed.
- Analysis (blood and urine tests, ECG, examinations for blood clotting, etc.).
- A patient needs to give up smoking, drinking alcohol, taking some pills for 2 weeks before surgery.
- 8 hours before a procedure, a patient does not eat and drink.
What is a facelift process?
The facelift process depends on the type of the procedure. This an outpatient operation, so admission is not required. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or sedation. The process takes 2-5 hours.
First of all, an anesthesiologist applies a chosen type of anesthesia. Then, a plastic surgeon makes an incision in front of the ear, extending it to the hairline. If the reduction of the chin is planned, a doctor also makes an incision under it.
When all incisions have been made, a plastic surgeon separates the skin from other tissues. Then, skin is lifted with special instruments, and its excess is removed.
When all manipulations are done, a surgeon fixates and lifts tissues and muscles, all punctures are stitched up with absorbable sutures. Then, special bandages are applied.
How long does a full recovery from facelift take?
An intensive recovery period takes 1 month.
After surgery, small hematomas and swelling occur. However, they disappear soon. A patient can feel a discomfort in the places of stitching. If necessary, a doctor prescribes painkillers.
In 2 days, the bandage is removed.
A patient can return to a normal lifestyle in about a month.
The final result is observed in half of the year.
What are the side effects of facelift?
Despite the fact that facelift is considered a quite safe procedure, side effects may also take place. Among them are:
- hematomas. They usually occur in 24 hours after surgery. Luckily, they disappear soon.
- Scarring. In most cases, scars are hardly visible or hidden under the hairline.
- Nerve injury. The doctor’s manipulations may damage nerves, so a patient can lose the sensitivity of some skin areas. Normally, it recovers after some time.
- Bleeding (rare).
- Infections (rare).
- Hair loss. Temporary or permanent hair loss is possible around the places of incisions.
How many times is it possible to have a facelift in Turkey?
You can do facelift as many times as you need. Note that the result of facelift lasts about 7-12 years.
How many years will I look younger after facelift?
Facelift cannot slow down or stop facial aging. It allows you improving your face making it younger at the moment. The result completely depends on your age, bone and skin structure, hereditary, lifestyle. Also, you need to be realistic about the result: it is impossible to look 20 years old when you are 60 in fact.
Are the scars noticeable after facelift in Turkey?
After facelift surgery, scars remain. However, they are almost invisible. The deal is that a doctor makes incisions in the hairy area to hide the traces. Also, the professionalism of a plastic surgeon plays a crucial role: experienced doctors in Turkey manipulate very accurately, so scars are tiny and almost inconspicuous.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.
Why is Turkey trendy for medical tourism?
Turkey is also a well-known country globally due to high-skilled doctors that undergo internships in American and European institutions. Patients from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Jordan, and Lebanon prefer treatment in Turkey to other places.
Highly developed medical centers and first-rate therapeutic services at affordable prices attract people from all over the world. Over 1 mln international patients travel to Turkey annually. So Turkey is among Top 10 countries with the most developed medical tourism sector.
Turkey is a top destination for medical tourists because of low-costs. You may save up to 50% on services compared to European countries or the USA due to the average local citizens' income and general price policy within the country.
What hotel services are provided here?
In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
When is the best time to travel to Turkey?
The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.
