Thank you !

I travelled alone to Istanbul for my surgery with Dr Safa Manav. I had a breast augmentation and upper blepharoplasty to get rid of my unwanted excess skin on my upper eyelids. They were my first surgical procedures and I had a great experience. Dr Safa Manav spoke very good English which made me feel at ease as he understood exactly what I wanted. He was very professional and I would recommend him to anyone considering these procedures. I wanted a natural looking breast enlargement that would suit my body shape without looking too “fake”. Dr Safa Manav has given me exactly what I wanted and asked for and I couldn’t be happier. My recovery went really well, I am currently almost 7 weeks post surgery and I have not had any complications at all, and my recovery was excellent. My upper blepharoplasty healed extremely quickly which I was very happy about, and although it is a small change it has made a big difference to my eye area, I look younger! I would like to thank Dr Safa Manav for giving me the extra confidence!

My Change Process

Motherhood has an immense emotional and physical affect that reflect on our lifestyle and our fashion.
During this period, I had the honor of meeting Dr. Safa Manav who performed my breast surgery . My biggest fear was the healing process and the outcome. I was ecstatic about the flawless outcome. Whatever outfit I tried on, elevated my spirit and boosted my morality. Upon embarking on a journey such as this one, please trust your doctor throughout its
duration.
Thank you Dr Safa Manav from the bottom of my heart.

Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmentation

I had rhinoplasty and breast augmentation with Dr Safa Manav 20 days ago. Not only is this man extremely kind, understanding and compassionate he is also an amazing doctor. Scratch that, he is not a doctor, he is a wizard. I am SO happy with my new nose and breasts. Thank you so much Dr.Safa!

I have been self conscious with my appearance for a long time however i have been postponing getting a surgery. Luckily i have met Dr Safa Manav. He is very kind and reliable. I didn’t think that i would be this satisfied with the results. He performed a surgery including breast augmentation, breast lifting and fat injection. Though it may sound complicated he achieved the best results that i could have wished. So if you are thinking of getting a surgery don’t wait another day and go get a consultation from him. I am sure that you will be as happy as i am. It has been 3 months since my surgery and already i am more confident and my life has honestly changed. I would trust Dr Safa Manav with my eyes closed again:)

Travelled from Sydney to see Dr Safa Manav

I travelled from Sydney, Australia to see Dr Safa Manav for abdominoplasty and rhinoplasty. From the beginning to the end of the journey, Dr Safa Manav, the staff, and team were incredibly professional and very attentive. They organised everything in the package for me including transfers and hotel which was very convenient. They all spoke English which was helpful and I am beyond happy with my results! I would highly recommend dr Safa Manav to everyone! Thank you again!

If you’re thinking of choosing Dr Safa

If you’re thinking of choosing Dr Safa, choose him. Literally the best doctor I could’ve asked for. I got a lift with implant; during our consultation I told him what I wanted and how I wanted a very natural look that suited my body type so I didn't look top heavy. We opted for 300cc and it was the best decision ever. I look amazing and feel so great. He took time in explaining how the procedure would go and made me very comfortable which was extremely important. So grateful for him.

Forever grateful..

I am just a little over 1 week after revision rhinoplasty (secondary rhinoplasty) and I could not be happier. Because I left the reviews about the wholesome expierience on Vanity Estetik page, I will only write in here about Dr Safa Manav. He is very calm, focused and professional doctor, makes you feel confident you are in the right hands as he is confident in his knowledge and his actions. I think the problem I have had with my nose, was quite complex and there was a lot of problems that had to be tackled but as for now, I am overwhelmingly happy with the results, doctor made my dream come true and the effect is even bigger than I thought. He literally changed my life and I would definitely return to him in the future. I also had Blepharoplasty done during the same surgery as an additional procedure and both surgeries were done without complications.

Dr Safa did an amazing job for 3 surgeries. I was given attention to detail at every step from legal, procedure, recovery, expectations etc. The end result is truly spectacular. I have such a high respect for him. I think anyone make or female considering cosmetic procedures in Istanbul should certainly reach out to him! I did otoplasty, rhinoplasty and liposuction in under 5 hours and with fantastic results.

Dr Safa surgery review

So happy with my results with Dr Safa! He will not operate anything that is not realistic and will not compliment your features, my nose is so straight and natural with minimum scaring. I am booked back with him for may for a different procedure and I will continue to go to him and follow him for the rest of my life. He is upfront, professional and no false promise. I am from Australia and it is really worth the travel to see this surgeon!

Amazing surgeon with brilliant results!

Early on in 2022 i decided that i was going to go to Istanbul for a rhinoplasty. I started doing my research into surgeons etc and found an amazing clinic where Dr Safa Manav works. I had done my research, looked at his work and loved the results he was giving people! Then late November 2022 i flew out to Istanbul for my surgery, i was extremely nervous as i'd never had cosmetic surgery before so didn't know what to expect. On the day of my surgery i met with Dr Safa Manav to talk about what my desired look for my nose was, he listened carefully and understood what i wanted but he was also very realistic about what he could achieve with my rhinoplasty.
Once i was out of surgery Dr Safa Manav came to see me to check i was doing ok after i woke up and to check on my nose, stitches etc.. the aftercare truly was amazing!
I'm now 1 month post op, i already love the way my nose is looking! I can't wait to see the full results in a couple months time when all the swelling has subsided.
I can't thank Dr Safa Manav enough for making me feel comfortable, listening/understanding what i wanted and most of all for restoring my confidence! I would 100% recommend Dr Safa Manav to anyone who is considering Cosmetic surgery, i will be requesting him again on my next procedure.

The best and kind surgeon l could wish for!

I started researching and l found Dr Safa and Vanity Clinic. After reading the fantastic reviews I booked my operation and a few months later I was in turkey!
Dr Safa was incredible from start ( l did my first consultation on line) to finish, he listened to exactly what l want once again when l met him , I felt heard and understood, he took his time to explain everything he will do and this makes me feel very comfortable with all the procedure.
He is soo professional yet kind and calming, but at the same time he is very realistic about what can be achieved. I did Lipo with Bbl and the operation itself went smoothly because he is a skilled doctor. He has gifted hands.
He came to visit me shortly after to make sure everything was ok ...and did the same on the following day after my surgery to check up.
I'm very happy with my results so far and it just getting better and better every day.
I can not thank Dr Safa enough. The best and kind surgeon l could wish for.

To the amazing DR SAFA MANAV

WELL... where do I start!?!
I'm from the UK, I went through a lot of research to find the perfect clinic to suit me. But unfortunately that did not happen. Until I came across a page called 'VANITY' via instagram in Istanbul. I messaged the page, and they were quick to respond to my messages. I told Vanity I was not happy with my breasts, and it's something I've always wanted to change. They went through everything with me. I took a photo so the doctor could have a look and we discussed what would be the best treatment would be for me. I then made the appointment and flew out to Istanbul on the 9/10/22. Vanity had organised transport from the airport/hospital/hotel. The service was fantastic! They always made sure that I was not left in the dark, and always assured me. I had my operation day on the 10/10/22 and met my doctor who's name is 'DR SAFA MANAV'. This doctor, is amazing! he told me exactly what was going to happen, and what treatment I needed. Dr Safa is a true and honest man, and is very passionate about his job. The way I could explain Dr Safa, is that he is very realistic and there is no beating around the bush with him and that is so respectful as in other health professions some don't exactly get to the point when you need them to but he does! He is straight to the point and always has best interests at heart and will always want the best for those that seek his advice. Whilst treatment Dr Safa chose what was best for me which can be scary to put your trust in people but I had complete faith in him and I couldn't be happier, he went through arrange of different implants that would suit my frame of body and he aced it.

Incredible - cannot recommend Dr. Safa enough

I chose Dr. Safa Manav for breast mastopexy with implants, as well as liposuction on my upper, lower abdomen and waist.
From the moment I walked into the clinic, I felt very welcomed.
In my first consultation with Dr. Safa, we discussed what I wanted to achieve and what I can expect from these procedures. What I liked best is that he was very patient with me, explained everything very thoroughly and in clear terms so I was able to understand it. I honestly felt like he listened to all my wishes, but at the same time he was very realistic about what can be achieved.
The next step was the operation itself, which went smoothly because he is a very skilled doctor and shortly after, he came to visit me to make sure everything is alright. He visited me again the following day after surgery to check up on me and to offer me the option to remain in the hospital for longer, if I felt it was needed.
Today, I had my last consultation and I was able to see the results of the procedures. I am over the moon about them and confidently can say that my expectations were exceeded and I cannot thank Dr. Safa enough. Once again, he explained things very clearly, such as the after care and even though it was my last consultation before flying back to the UK, he assured me that I can contact him afterwards for any further questions I had.
If you’re thinking of having any of these procedures done, don’t look any further and choose Dr. Safa Manav, because you definitely won’t regret it.

Could not be happier with the results and I’m only just over a month post-op! He listened to all my concerns, requests and needs and I am so happy with the outcome. The aftercare was incredible too, would definitely recommend him to anyone considering surgery.

Dr. Safa Manav

Dr. Safa manav and his team made my experience so enjoyable. I have known that I wanted to make this decision for a long time and I am beyond happy with my breast augmentation. Choosing Safa Manav
was the best choice for me - from my consultation, to the day of surgery and into my recovery, I knew what was going to take place with each step of the process because of each team member being so informative. The best part, there has never been a moment I felt uncomfortable or questioned my decision! Thank yoU!

THANK YOU

What can I say other than THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.
I visited Dr Safa in Vanity clinic last week for a breast augmentation after struggling for years with severe body image issues. These insecurities caused anxiety and depression much of my life, were a large trigger for my 10 year addiction to alcohol, dressing in baggy clothes to hide the disproportion between my (none existent) boobs and my tummy, even avoiding going out of the house at times because I was so uncomfortable with my looks and figure. After a lot of work, recovering from my addiction and starting to like myself again, I knew that I wanted my breasts enlarged so my figure was in proportion. I started researching and found vanity clinic and Dr Safa. After reading the fantastic reviews I booked my operation and a few months later I was in turkey!
Dr Safa was incredible from start to finish, he listened to exactly what I wanted when i met him, he put me very much at ease, I felt heard and understood, he took his time to explain the pros and cons of different implants, sizes, methods.
We came to the decision together to go under the muscle, with a large (560cc) round implant and I am so happy with the result- it's more perfect than I could ever have imagined!
I've looked in the mirror and cried with happiness since, when i couldnt even look at my reflection before.
Dr safa has changed my life with this operation, the confidence I now have is something i didnt think would ever be achievable for me, and I can't thank him enough.
He was professional yet kind and calming, the aftercare has been fantastic and he responds to my questions straight away. The operation itself was very quick, recovery was straight forward and pain free. The scars are tiny and healing so well, swelling has gone and I'm so looking forward to them dropping and fluffing to see the final result.
This was the best decision I have ever made and I urge anyone considering cosmetic surgery to have theirs with Dr safa... you won't be disappointed!
