"I now feel good everyday
My experience with Istanbul aesthetic centre was amazing. I had to go to turkey alone so I was very anxious but Abdul coordinated everything so well I just needed to bring myself to Turkey and he sorted everything out for me. Even when I had problems with my airline he kindly rescheduled my appointment at the very last minute and for that I am grateful beyond words. When I got to turkey I had my transport waiting for me. At this point I was still worried, scenarios like me getting kidnapped or murdered kept on appearing in my mind but he drove me straight to my hotel and the driver was very courteous.
Next day, Abdul picked me up from my hotel and kindly brought me to the hospital where I did the payments and blood tests. The anaesthesiologist then came to ask me all the questions needed before my surgery, he was also very kind and had many many years of experience. When he left Abdul said that he was actually the owner of the place and I felt more relieved after hearing that because I felt sure that he wouldn’t let anything bad happen to me. But even if Abdul did not say that he already gave me such a good impression on our first meeting.
Then, the most awaited moment of my life came. I finally met my surgeon, Dr Gurhan. He was amazing. He was very polite and friendly. He asked me what I did not like about my nose. I had a bulbous nose and a flat wide tip. There was no definition to my nose but my bridge was alright I had no bumps and I liked the height. So I asked him what he thought I should change and he suggested that have an alar reduction a lateral cartilage removal on my tip to give it more definition and to raise my tip a little so it’s not as droopy. He also agreed that my bridge is fine so we decided not to touch it. When he finished speaking I knewI could trust him because he pointed out everything I thought was wrong about my nose which other people thought wasn’t really a problem. I even had a consultation before in my country and the lady said I had no problem and asked me to just leave it alone. To have someone see what you see is an amazing feeling. I also loved the fact that he just did what I wanted, he did not try to suggest me getting more things done such as maybe reducing my bridge. I said I wanted natural and I want it to suit my face and he gave me exactly that. I am so thankful to Dr Gurhan. He has miracle hands. I have had this insecurity for 9 yrs. I always dreamed of getting my nose done but I always held myself back because of the fear that I might make it worse than before. When Abdul sent me his profile I was very impressed as he has 35 yrs of experience and many achievements. The only problem was that there are very few reviews about him so I was a little skeptical. I decided to look at other doctors who have more reviews and even spoke to them but for some reason my gut feeling kept on telling me that I should go with Dr Gurhan. It is the best decision ever.
After speaking to him, the nurses came after an hour and while waiting Abdul kept me company throughout which in turn made me feel relaxed as I did not have to think about my operation. So I got on the operating bed and the last thing I remembered was as being wheeled to the operating room. When I woke up I was already in the recovery room. I vaguely remember dr Gurhan telling me, you look beautiful. I could not respond because of drowsiness but in my head I was like YESSS!!
I stayed at Istanbul aesthetic for a night. The nurses took care of me so well. I had a whole room to myself and they would come to check up on me. Honestly, when I was there I only felt terrible when I needed to vomit but after letting it out I felt better and I was able to eat. Next day, dr Gurhan came and checked up on me he said my incisions look good and I should come after 7 days to get them removed. Abdul came in with a bunch of medication and dr Gurhan instructed me on how to take it.
I went back to my hotel. The first 3 days were terrible. It literally looks like I’ve been stung by hundreds of bees and I was constantly tired. After 3 days I felt better. The swelling doesn’t look so bad anymore and I was able to go out to see the city.
After a week. Abdul collected me again. Dr Gurhan removed the sutures and the cast. When he removed the cast, I felt like so emotional. I was still bloated but it looked so much better than my old nose and It actually suits my face. It does not look fake. Even my friends and family who were so against my decision said I look amazing. I also know I look amazing. Every time I look at myself in the mirror I get shocked at how beautiful I look now compared to before.
Thank you Dr Gurhan, Abdul, my anaesthesiologist and all the nurses in Istanbul aesthetic. Because of your amazing work I now feel good everyday. God bless all of you.
