Absolutely and utterly pleased with my experience! Amazing doctor. Did exactly what I wanted and asked for. Great at communicating explaining and extremely easy to deal with. Great staff and very helpful and friendly. Thank you Dr Safa, Fatih and Janan ❤️ couldn’t be happier. Exceeded my expectations
Ongoing negligence led to day-before cancellation
Following a lot of disorganization, misinformation & an involuntary change to my surgery date, Dr Manav cancelled 1 day prior. The International Consultant (IC) was not considerate of the fact that travellers need notice to make plans. I didn't get preop instructions until 12 days before even though I asked 2x. So I scrambled to make last minute appointments to remove extensions etc. I confirmed 2x the consult was same day as hospitalization; booked flights/hotels & sent confirmations to be told my surgery date changed causing a big issue with bookings. No apology, explanation or accountability until I asked; she blamed it on the dr saying he changed his policy so consults are now 1 day prior. Ok, but should've let me know sooner. She also said I might only need 1 night in hospital after I confirmed 4x it would be 2 nights. I got mad because this changed hotel plans again so she left it 2 nights. 36 hr before I had to ask for airport pick up info. She said I need to send flight/hotel details so she could make the arrangements; but I already sent it! IC provided medical information that she is not qualified to advise on. For the online consult I forgot to ask the dr if I qualify for a lip lift. IC said I do & sent me a quote. During the in person consult, dr said I don't. After asking several times about the consult appointment, I was told 8 pm Mon that it's 7:20 pick up Tues. 20 min before pick up the consult moved to 1pm. The driver was late & the dr was 1.5 hr late. The bloodwork paperwork had my incorrect name on it. Patient Coordinator (PC) omitted one of the agreed upon procedures and argued with me about it until I showed her in writing the agreement between me and the IC. Finally I had a 15 min consult with the dr; this paperwork had my incorrect age. Here I learned he had no idea about a medical condition I have requiring special medication for surgery. I confirmed this medication would be available with the IC weeks before and that the dr agreed; neither was true. After the consult, I found out that the IC had failed to order this medication in advance and that it is not available in Türkiye; specifically I was told it would take 7 days to get now. So...cancelled. The acceptable outcome would have been to take full accountability & apologize. Instead the dr sent the PC I had just met to deliver the news. When I did get a chance to speak to the IC about my deposit she pointed fingers at the anesthesiologist and the people who didn't tell her the medicine had to be ordered in advance. She also sent me a WhatsApp that the dr would've done the surgery if the other dr didn't refuse. Really, and put me at risk? Rather than apologize, she argued with me about returning my deposit because I had used their transport 2x (from airport & to consult) & kept $100. To quibble over $100, after they cost me thousands on airfare/hotel & unpaid vacation is quite ridiculous. Obviously as disappointed and upset as I was, I agree it was best to cancel rather than be unsafe. But there was no reason it should have been unsafe if they had done due diligence. The dr should've consulted the others before I left my country. Their assessment also contradicts what my dr and hematologist said, which is that it's perfectly safe with the medication. Yes it cost them too, but mistakes have consequences and I shouldn't have had to pay them. In hindsight I should have cancelled weeks ago; but I kept telling myself I was going for the surgeon and not the admin staff. But it's a reflection on the whole team; I don't know if he is a good surgeon but his business is a disaster. Some of the before/after photos they use are taken from other sites. I contacted one in Canada, they confirmed the photo was of their patient and that they do not know Dr Manav. At no time did anyone say anything about risk of surgery or recovery. I have seen other poor reviews and the response often shows lack of accountability, blaming patient or pointing fingers. Curious how they will try to discredit my complaints or justify their actions. I feel I dodged a bullet!

Breast augmentation with lift
I had a breast augmentation with lift last week and Dr Manav and his team have been incredible. I’m from the UK and the whole process from booking with his assistance Belma, to his assistant who guided me through the process once in Turkey, Janan, as well as Dr Manav himself including everyone inbetween. The facilities at the hotel and hospital were top standard and the staff there were more than helpful and attentive. I am happy with the results of my surgery so far, understand the plans for the healing process and should I consider further plastic surgery in future for anything else, I will be contacting Dr Manav’s office. Thank you all for your support and making this a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I had upper eyelid surgery with Dr…
I had upper eyelid surgery with Dr Safa. I had a very comfortable process and even though the surgery was very recent, I am very satisfied. He is a very successful doctor and has a very sweet and friendly team. Thanks for everything
Best doctor
Dr. Safa has magic in his hands. I have a rate autoimmune condition which caused fat loss on my face and arm, I have received 2 treatments from him so far and I love the results. He’s very understanding and caring and listens to all your needs. I travelled from Canada to meet him, and will be going back again to get more beauty treatments.
I had to change my old breast implants…
I had to change my old breast implants and Dr Safa was strongly recommended to me. I don't speak English well but he was able to understand perfectly what I needed. one month after surgery the result is perfect as I wanted it! Dr Safa is really very good, I recommend him.
My experience with Dr Safa and his Team…
My experience with Dr Safa and his Team was outstanding from beginning of my journey till I left.I choose Dr Safa upon his review and I decided to go with him I can say I was really nervous but once I got in Hospital and when I meet Dr Safa and all those nurses which I really appreciate they were all so nice and always there for me so I want to say Thanks to Academic Hospital and they hospitality,I stopped being nervous.What I really admire with Dr Safa he is really understanding and caring and skilled surgeon he will not do something on you if he feels that is not for you ,in the start of my procedure he told me what he thinks is the best and what he does not recommend .I had my tummy tuck done and some light liposuction and everything went well I’m almost 7 weeks and so far everything looks great I know I still need time to heal and to get full results,I’m happy the way so far everything looks and how my surgery went .I would definitely choose Dr Safa for any other surgery if I decide to have ,Thanks again to great surgeon and his team 🫶
Horrible experience
I had a breast augmentation and my left breast felt more painful and different from the other. When leaving Turkey on my last check up Dr Safa said it looked lumpy but that it was normal. It never felt right and I made an appointment in Canada to have a surgeon look at it. I did everything they said. I avoided working out, took 3 weeks off work and slept on my back. 40 days after my surgery, I was having intercourse with my partner and my artery ruptured. I was rushed to the hospital for an emergency surgery. I lost almost 1 litre of blood and took another 3 weeks off work. This was my experience. I was never told I couldnt have sex a month after surgery. Something else was wrong and they have tried to blame it on that.

My experience with Dr Safa, team and hospital 🙌
My experience with Dr Safa, Fatih, Janan and the rest of the team is by far outstanding.
I communicated with Fatih first asking lots of questions until we flew to Istanbul Turkey 🇹🇷 (10mnths Fatih had the patients of a saint.) Helping me and putting my mind at ease with any fears I had. Fatih was always professional in response and always replied back with an answer promptly.
Dr Safa, is an artist, perfectionist and meticulous within his field.
I could not be happier with my results. We flew from AUS I had Tummy tuck, liposuction, breast lift, breast augmentation, botox and filler.
Dr Safa is not only an artist, he is also so kind, caring , very easy to communicate with and always answers questions, queries and explains. In hospital Dr Safa checked on me twice a day making sure I was comfortable and checking post procedure results.
The beautiful staff at the Academic hospital was by far 5 star treatment. Everything, clean, tidy. Staff always punctual with any assistance I needed. They are so empathetic and caring beautiful people.
Janan thank you. Thank you for being there post op for everything. This operation was a huge deal to myself and partner. Janan you have a calming aura, I was so happy to see you every morning or whenever you dropped in to check on me. Thank you for finding out everything I needed to know after my operation. A week out and I'm healing nicely. I'm walking around and taking in more sights of this amazing country we have fallen in love with.
You and the team are beautiful, caring , rare souls. We have already decided we are coming back very soon. I am 100% happy to recommend your clinic to anybody considering such a life changing decision, they will not be disappointed with your services or results. 💖
I love the results!!!
I love the care Dr. Safa gave me during my entire stay! I came from America to have a MMO- tummy tuck, lipo 360& breast implants. He did an AMAZINGGGGG job! I still have swelling because I am only 10 days post op, but I am already smaller in the waist than I was pre-op! My boobs are a very natural size which I needed and wanted because I have a small frame, but he made me look Natural!!! Just what I wanted!!! Dr.Safa also has a wonderfulllll coordinator named Lale I recommend u request her specifically! Lale is the best- She has lived here in America and makes the experience feel that much more at home and comfortable! Request her if you can- the other coordinators have nothing on that girl!
All in all I give my experience a 10!!!!! Love Dr.Safa! Ty for the boobies again Doc lol! 🫶🏽
breast uplift with implants…
I had a breast uplift with implants with dr safa manav in October 2023 and would highly recommend him, he listened to what I wanted and the results are amazing, better than I ever expected, I am so happy I chose him. It’s given me so much confidence literally changed my life, thank you!
Great experience
Choosing Dr. Safa Manav for my neck lift, lower facelift, and nose revision was 1 of the best decision I've made. It's been just a week since my surgry, and I'm already thrilled with the results.
Dr. Manav is a true professional who took the time to understand my goals and provided realistic expectations. What sets him apart is his focus and dedication to his work.
He surprised me with random checks, showing his genuine concern for my well-being while my stay in the hospital ❤️. These gestures went beyond the usual doctor-patient interaction, making me feel valued and cared for.
The recovery process has been surprisingly fast, thanks to the excellent aftercare provided by Dr. Manav and my coordinator Canan. Communication was seamless, and they were always there to address any concerns. I can't emphasize enough how their support has made this journey smooth and reassuring. 👏👏👏
Fantastic surgeon and Health Team.
After several months of researching to find a reputable surgeon in Turkey I came across Dr Safa manav, I scrutinised every review I could find on this Doctor, everything I found gave him huge Accolades and praise, I proceeded to book my surgery for January 2024, after intense talks with his co-ordinator Vulkan who may I add is extremely helpful and courteous we agreed on the date, I arrived in Turkey one day prior to surgery, met by a lovely Gentleman who transferred us to or Hotel in Istanbul,
On Tuesday 23rd of January I was again picked up and taken to the Academic Hospital where I was greeted by Dr Safa and his Fantastic Team, all the relevant tests, questions, and consultation were delivered in a first class nature, at 11.50am I was taken to Theatre, I arrived back at my room around 6.45pm where again Dr Safa accompanied me, this man's care and dedication to his work is outstanding, he is constantly making sure you are pain free and comfortable all of the time, at 1.30am on Wednesday 24th of January Dr Safa called back to the hospital to check I was OK, his staff are as attentive and caring as he, they really cannot do enough for you,
I would undoubtedly 1000.000% recommend this Doctor without a doubt, you will be safe, looked after, received highest level of care and attention,
Dr Safa isn't just a first class surgeon, he is an Artiste of the highest level, Thankyou for everything you have done for me.🙏💙❤️
You will die
You will die! Don’t go there! Mommy make over. I know a very healthy woman who died the day after he performed surgery on her. They said she fainted and could not be resuscitated although they tried to resuscitate her for one hour. Who tries to resuscitate anyone of a hou? Long before an hour a person would be pronounced dead. What’s worst, he kept the money from the surgery for months. Major and gross negligence. He should be working in a slaughter house not performing surgery on healthy people. Don’t do it. Don’t don’t! Don’t do it. Stay away if you want to live. Huge tragedy! Unreal. The family is in shock and will never recover from this constant trauma which clearly has been covered up because you won’t hear much about this unless someone makes it public. I want to make sure that no one goes what she went through. Don’t be fooled by the beautiful office, videos and nice comments you see. It’s all snake oil. Even the funeral home said they have been many cases like this, but we never hear about them. Karma is real however so God’s will be done.
Dr Safa is very professional and his…
Dr Safa is very professional and his team . He is like an artist and trustworthy. He did my mommy makeover and I was very happy with results . I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for natural results. From the beginning to end the end he made sure I was taken care of .
