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.

neck lift, lower face and nose

I decided to get a necklift, lower facelift and nose revision. After reviewing several Turkish Surgens, I decided on Dr.Safa Manav.
He truly is a professional, understood my goals and offers honest expectations and confidence.
He’s very focused.
Its only been a week since my surgery but I’m so pleased so far.

A great experienced Doctor

I had my lip lift with Doctor Safa Manav. The procedure was fast and easy, the doctor was very experienced and did a great job on my lips. I would definitely recommend Dr Safa and probably will see him again in few months for some other procedures

I would be happy to go back to Dr Safa Manav

Doctor Safa Manav the best doctor I have been around in a long time., Me and my mother had surgery and was pleased with the results. Dr Safa's personal assistant Canan, was extremely friendly and professional and I would love to have the same doctor around if I ever need surgery again.

The doctorr had been busy but still took the time to make us feel like we were the only patient.

Before and after Photos will be shown after when the swelling goes down.

Good experience abroad

I had cosmetic procedure done in August 2023 by Dr Safa Manav. At the time of this review my face was still in the healing process but looks promising for the most part and my arms as well. Dr Manav did my lower face, neck, fat transfer in the temple area, upper lip lift and arms.

Fatih Akgul, his assistant excelled at providing excellent customer service. He arranged the hotel accommodations, transportation and everything in between that I needed in a timely fashion. I’m very grateful to him.

The Mercure hotel is where you want to stay while you recover, it’s delightful.

Be mindful of the fact that the patient’s rooms in the Academic Hospital have no AC and that you will need assistance getting your prescription filled prior to returning to the hotel after your procedure. Consult Fatih, he can give you some guidance.

I went through Vanity Cosmetics for my Rhinoplasty with Dr Safa and I was not let down.

Everything from start to finish was absolutely amazing. He was so understanding and worked with me to achieve the nose that I have dreamed off. Pre op and post op was unstasnijg and the care provided was 100%.

Exceptionally clean and up to a very height standard. I would 100% recommend Dr Safa to anyone that is looking for any cosmetic surgery in Istanbul.

Very very pleased with my outcome.

An experienced surgeon who knows what he’s doing. Great work, friendly man and overall good energy.

If you’re looking for a surgeon to trust I would recommend Dr Safa! (This is also coming from someone who did extensive research and has super high standards).

I am 7 weeks post op after a BA above muscle, 360CC (B to E cup) and I am really happy with now natural my breasts look, and how full they are at the same time. People gasp at the cup size difference when they ask because you can’t tell by looking at them. I’m glad I didn’t end up with breasts that demand attention as that’s not what I was going for.

Amazing Experience!

I went to Istanbul from Sydney for a rhinoplasty that I wanted my whole life! Dr Safar did an excellent job with how I wanted my nose to look! The whole process was very easy and I had an amazing experience during my recovery! Even though my nose is freshly out of the cast and still swollen I am already completely in love with my new nose!
