My recommendation for my liposuction in Istanbul
My partner had been considering liposuction in the abdominal area for a long time. I accompanied him to the first appointment in Zug. Initially, I had no intention of having liposuction myself…
The doctor who carried out the treatment in Turkey welcomed us personally; in Switzerland he works as a consultant. A well-trained interpreter with expertise in the field was available to us. They advised my partner professionally after noting all the necessary information and taking photos of his abdomen.
Spontaneously, I asked whether liposuction of the abdominal area might also be an option for me. Although I had been doing strength training for years and my diet was quite balanced, I still had a waist measurement of 100 cm. I inherited this from my grandmother and my mother. My abdomen had been bothering me repeatedly for 15 years, especially because I knew I was doing a lot to get rid of it – and yet it simply would not go away. It was very frustrating for me.
The doctor also took photos of my abdomen, and I asked him my questions, which he answered professionally.
At home I did some research and saw that he is a very renowned doctor who has also worked abroad and made a name for himself. It was important for me to get to know my treating doctor as well as possible. I also saw that the Florence Nightingale Hospital had an excellent reputation.
It took me 2–3 months to finally decide to have liposuction. MedicalTravel showed a great deal of patience, as I initially agreed, then cancelled, and in the end agreed again. They were also able to honour the original quote, which made me very happy.
On arrival in Istanbul, we were taken to the hotel by transfer and then immediately to the hospital for a preliminary examination. The hospital was only 5 km from the hotel, which was a great relief, as we did not have to travel much by taxi.
The liposuction for my partner took place the next day, and mine two days later. We always had an interpreter available, including via WhatsApp. I was treated very well in the hospital: the nurses were kind and attentive and spoke a little English. The room and bed were comfortable and equipped with a television with German and English channels.
The follow-up examinations took place three days later and the doctor also gave advice on what should and should not be done over the next two to four weeks. He told me to send him photos of my abdomen one week after the operation because he wanted to see how it looked.
After a week, I sent the photos to MedicalTravel via WhatsApp. They forwarded them to the doctor immediately and he replied within 24 hours. The result looked good.
The care, support and transport were perfectly organised. The doctor addressed my questions and took time for me. As I tend to be rather anxious in hospital, this was very important for me.
I found it very good that the hotel was very close to the hospital. You did not have to travel much by taxi, which is rather uncomfortable after a hospital stay (one night after the operation). The hotel was very well equipped, especially for people who need some support after surgery. I had difficulty getting up or going for a walk. I also found the emergency alarm in the bathroom very helpful, even though I did not need to use it.
Near the hotel we found plenty of places to eat and even to go shopping. The prices were very affordable and the clothes were of good quality. They had their own brands, which I liked very much. We even found a tailor who either shortened the trousers immediately or had them ready the next day. Since we only stayed for a week, this was decisive for us.
