"The best results & care I have ever…"
The best results & care I have ever received!
I arrived in Istanbul on the 18th November for a breast uplift & implant. As a 20 year old female arriving into a foreign country solo, I was really anxious and nervous. However, from start to finish I received nothing but reassurance, support and guidance in achieving my dream breasts.
I was most impressed with how well Maya Medical communicates with there patients, any questions or support I needed I had a detailed response within hours. Maya medical provided me with an English speaking translator which helped me remain relaxed throughout my stay here in turkey. Zehra was allocated to me in support with my surgery, any questions I needed to ask she would fulfil. Zehra went above and beyond to support me before and after the surgery. She was kind, professional & approachable.
The standard of care in Maya Medical is beyond anything I have experienced here in the UK.
Dr Tuna Turkmen completed a full and complex consultation with me in person, prior to my surgery, he was detailed in providing information about concerns I had regarding my surgery. He talked through my ideal breast’s and things I would like to improve. Dr Tuna has helped me gain my confidence back with my body and I am so happy with the results!!
The hotel & hospital was immaculate in cleanliness. The nurses looking after me post op were so supportive. Any medication I thought I needed was facilitated. Physical observations were completed throughout my stay in hospital to discharge which reassured me.

"The best experience I hoped for!!"
I had a breast lift and augmentation with Maya medical beginning of Nov and all I can say is look no further, they have been so amazing! I was very nervous to get the procedure done as it was my first surgery, however from speaking to Dilara and first booking my surgery I felt I was in safe hands! She arranged a video call with Dr. Tuna Turkmen who was my surgeon and from that moment I knew I wanted them to do my procedure. I arrived in Istanbul and was picked up in a luxury transport vehicle, all transfers to the airport and hospital and hotel were included and set up by Maya so you never need to worry about anything! Next I met the patient coordinator Yagmur she is so lovely and will answer all your questions and help ease your worries. Dr. Turkmen is a very talented and compassionate surgeon, I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon I love my results and you can tell he really cares about his patients and has true passion for what he does. Lastly the private nurse Havva is an absolute angel, she came to the hotel to change my bandages and help me shower, even now being back in the U.K. I am in constant contact with her feeling very taken care of! The whole experience makes you feel like a princess honestly they all are so lovely and professional. If you’re looking for a company to book surgery through I can’t recommend Maya Medical enough! I will definitely be back if I ever want anything else done they are absolutely the best.

Title: A Nightmare Experience: Botched BBL and Breast Augmentation in Turkey
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
I recently underwent a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) and breast augmentation in Turkey, and I cannot express enough how disappointed and dissatisfied I am with the entire experience. From start to finish, it was an absolute nightmare that left me scarred, both physically and emotionally.
First and foremost, the quality of work performed by the surgeons was abysmal. Despite providing them with clear instructions and references, they completely disregarded my desired outcome. The results of both procedures were far from what I had envisioned, leaving me with a body that I am deeply unhappy with. The BBL left my buttocks uneven and lumpy, resembling a botched science experiment rather than the desired curvaceous figure I had hoped for.
To make matters worse, the breast augmentation was an absolute disaster. Not only did the surgeons fail to achieve the desired size and shape, but they also left me with additional scars that were not present before the procedure. I was forced to return to Turkey twice in an attempt to rectify their mistakes, but each time, the outcome remained unchanged. The scars only multiplied, leaving me with a constant reminder of the incompetence and lack of skill displayed by the surgeons.
Aside from the physical damage, the emotional toll this experience has taken on me is immeasurable. I had placed my trust in these so-called professionals, only to be let down in the most devastating way possible. The trauma and distress caused by this ordeal cannot be overstated.
Furthermore, the lack of post-operative care and support was appalling. The surgeons seemed disinterested and dismissive when I expressed my concerns and dissatisfaction. It was as if they were more interested in taking my money than ensuring my well-being and satisfaction as a patient.
I strongly advise anyone considering undergoing a BBL or breast augmentation in Turkey to think twice. The risks and potential consequences far outweigh any potential benefits. The subpar workmanship, lack of professionalism, and disregard for patient satisfaction make this a place to avoid at all costs.
In conclusion, my experience with BBL and breast augmentation in Turkey was nothing short of a nightmare. The terrible work performed by the surgeons, the need for multiple corrective procedures, and the resulting scars have left me feeling devastated and regretful. Save yourself the heartache and seek out reputable surgeons elsewhere who prioritize patient satisfaction and safety.

"Wow. Amazing!!!!!"
Wow. What an amazing experience I have had with Maya, from start to finish they’ve all been so amazing. From Dilara, Yagmur and my surgeon (Dr Tuna Turkmen) and his team. I was so worried about flying out to Turkey to get anything done but the hotel they put you in is AMAZING and everyone is so lovely and welcoming. But the main person is Dr Tuna Turkmen. Wow wow wow. He is soooooo kind, sweet, amazing and an artist in his work. He comforted me as I was crying in surgery before it started and just made me feel so at ease. The after results are just incredible too. I’m SOO happy I went with Maya and Dr Tuna, best decision I’ve ever made. Thank you all so much for changing my life for the better ❤️❤️

"Loved everything from start to finish…"
Loved everything from start to finish from the coordination of booking flights, transportation, hotel-everything they made it so easy! I got a 360 tummy tuck, lift with implant and was a little worried going from USA to Turkey but it was the best experience and my results are amazing! I have had work done in the USA and the care & results do not even compare to the treatment i received (not to mention 1/3 of the US prices)-and MOST importantly my results are amazing, better than I ever could expect!

"1 year post surgery with my breast…"
1 year post surgery with my breast uplift & implant & I had etopic breast tissue removed ( side of armpit excess ) and I honestly can say it was the best decision I’ve ever made! I wanted to leave my review for a full year before posting to be completely honest and honestly couldn’t be happier!
From start to finish Maya patient co-ordinaters
Dilara to Yagmur they was absolutely amazing with the information & care & not to mention the most fantastic nurse havva! Wow what I would have not done without her , even to this day I could message Maya & they would respond instantly! Hospital was outstanding , clean , never felt like I was left alone or without any help I needed , the hotel wow stunning! And nurse havva came to visit me everyday and clean my dressings help me with any kind of needs , when I came home it was always nice to receive check up messages from the whole team for the first couple of weeks & any questions I had even a few weeks after!
Dr koray kir himself what can I say.. absolutely unbelievable at his work , my scars are so neat barely even visible now which for an uplift I was so worried they would be especially been tanned / olive skinned and as a person he was so kind & very good at a conversation prior the procedure explaining everything I would need and what the outcome would be and what to expect , if I ever have surgery again I would not go any where else. Also love the fact they do an ultra sound prior even having the procedure and all the other checks this clinic is proven to ensure safety of you as a patient comes first. Thank you again all! ❤️ Beth x

"This is my second review for Maya"
This is my second review for Maya, (first is under the name Jakki Reid), I’ve had 3 other procedures with them in the past and I’ve never had an issue before. I had surgery on the 13th September, my surgeon was Dr Turkmen (who was very nice) and I had an endoscopic brow and cheek lift. After surgery, I had severe facial swelling and a lot of pain which was unmanageable with the naproxen I was given. Havva the nurse took a picture of me as she said it was the worst swelling she had seen. (Havva is lovely, she has looked after me a few times).
I took my own pain relief with me, as from my previous experiences, I know the pain relief given is not sufficient in the early days following surgery. I was told the procedure was minor, and I would be able to return to normal activities after 7-10 days. They told me with this surgery I could expect to have small dents in the side of my face, and some swelling but that everything would resolve totally in a few weeks.
After returning to the UK and removing the tapes I could see that my left eye was considerably smaller and more swollen than the right and looked much more stretched and there was a deep dent above the brow. I was also unable to move my left brow at all, this was very noticeable. I was understandably really worried and concerned, so I messaged my coordinator Yagmur. She said not to worry, it was all normal and would resolve in a couple of weeks. It didn’t resolve after 3 weeks so I messaged again and was told I had swelling on my eyelid and not to lay on the left side. I explained I was still sleeping on my back and had not slept on my side at all. I said I was concerned my nerve had been damaged during the procedure as I had no movement in the left side and I didn’t think eyelid swelling would inhibit movement of my brow. I did have a video call with the surgeon and he told me this wasn’t the case and the eye issues/dent could be a result of the stitches internally being too tight and to wait a bit longer, but after 5 weeks I still could not move the brow and the dent had little improvement. The incisions in my head were still scabbed painful and weeping. By this point I was starting to panic, I am fortunate enough that I do not work with the public, as facing people after the op would have been really upsetting, but I was still very self conscious and aware that my face (eye area) looked weird. I just basically stayed indoors and hid until around a week ago. I am now 8 weeks post op and my eyebrow has regained around 60% of its movement and my eye has improved in size. The nerve was obviously bruised/stretched during the procedure and is now regaining function again. I messaged Maya today as the dent still hasn’t resolved, neither have the scabs in my head and was told this could take up to 6 months and MAY improve. The reason I am writing this review is to give anyone else considering this particular procedure, an honest account of what can and does go wrong. I was told today that what has happened to me is not uncommon to experience and is part of the healing process, this is NOT what I was told prior to surgery. I was also told today this is a major surgery, but when I questioned why I was not told this before and stated that I felt it unprofessional not to fully inform people of the likely side effects, they then backtracked and said it was a minor procedure, but due to the nature of the operation it is still early days to see a full recovery which is contradictory to what was said to me initially.
Whilst I am confident I will recover and be very pleased with the results, this is a not a procedure to take lightly and I expected more from a company I’ve used several times and highly recommended to others. If you do not work from home and haven’t got several weeks to hide away then this may not be the procedure for you. I wouldn’t return back to them for any further surgery which is unfortunate, as I was very happy with them in the past. Nobody checked on my progress or followed up with me once I made them aware of the issues. I would also like to add I followed all aftercare and am overall, in really good health.
Edit. My face is now back to normal movement, but there is no difference in the brow position at all, you cannot tell I have had a brow lift. On the 28th December 3 and a half months after surgery, I went to my doctor as I still had swelling redness, pus and pain in one of the incision sites which was now a 3cm wound and I was given antibiotics and a swab was taken. The results came back a few days later with a Staphylococcus aureus infection, which can lead to MRSA. After taking antibiotic's again, my (4th course since surgery, as well as several antibiotic creams) the infection was reduced but not cleared. Finally a piece of surgical staple was removed from the wound a few days ago. This had been in there for 4 months, due to this and the poor results, I have changed the rating to 1 star.

"Relief at having picked the best hospital"
Fantastic experience from start to finish . Dr Erkan Yuce is very skilled and delivered the result I asked for. The hotel was amazing . The hospital was spotless and staff were very supportive. The co ordinator Yagmur was very sweet but a special mention for Nurse Havva . Me and a friend travelled amd stayed together and this nurse was amazing supportive and so knowledgeable in her job . She was crucial to our recovery and extremely caring and helpful on all fronts . The medical standards are very high . Highly recommended

"AMAZING!!!! Breast augmentation from uk x"
Honestly could not fault havva the nurse and yagmur!!!!
Made my journey so easy and comfortable could never help enough
.
Dr tuna Turkmen has done an amazing job of my breast augmentation listened to exactly what I wanted and they are even better than my inspiration photos.
It has been 6 weeks now post op and they look better than I ever would have imagined.
First couple of days little painful however plenty of pain relief given at hospital to subside it. Definitely recommend taking a friend with you to help move in the bed and pillows as be very limited first couple of days.
Hotel was lovely.
Faultless experience.
If you’re looking at going to turkey 100% recommend maya medical.
Waited until 6 weeks to leave my review as my breasts just look better and better everyday since!!!
