I had breast augmentation just over a month ago, when I came back to the uk, I felt extremely unwell and my wounds were bleeding, when I contacted de Kerim and his team I was told to visit a uk gp. A week later my health started deteriorating, I couldn’t even do daily tasks, I had an extreme high fever, stopped breathing had a seizure and ended up in ICU. I was in ICU fighting for my life, I was on oxygen for 10days and monitored 24-7. The implants were severely infected which had spread, keeping them in was a threat to my life. When my friend contacted dr Kerim and his team, we was advised to discharge myself from ICU and come immediately to them on the next flight to Istanbul. We explained that it is impossible, how I’m fighting for my life, and I’m not fitt enough to travel. They didn’t care AT ALL. All I got was if u come to us now, we will fix for free. But if you remove (which nhs has to intervene as keeping them in even a day longer could kill me) dr Kerim and his team won’t do anything, Infact in future I would have to pay full price to get them re done again. I’m absolutely disgusted, they don’t care about your health nor your LIFE!! Save ur time and money and do not go to them at all!!

Would not recommend unless you are okay with a high likelihood of keloid/hypertrophic scaring. Eventhough the dr is European certified, I believe he has found shortcuts for his surgeries and doesn't perform them to the best of surgical standards. Nose surgery; he is not good with making the tips of the nose, he doesn't know how to shape the tip. If you're looking for a nose job, I would say go to an ENT not Dr. Kerim. The nose is thr most important feature of your face. Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty; would say his work here is 8/10. Scarring wasn't too bad. Necklift; I've contacted several women and they have all complained of Keloid or hypertrophic scarring. His technique is not to the best standards and I have concluded that his suturing technique is causing these mishaps. Cheeklift; eventhough I paid for a cheeklift, after consulting with a US doctor, they have concluded that the scars in the front of my ears were superficial and that a cheek lift was not performed, so I would be very careful of this. I can't comment on body sculpting because I did not get any of that done. Overall, I would say if your looking for professional work and have high standards. I would choose a different doctor. I would rate this Dr. Work as 5/10. Maybe his body sculpting is a different outcome but personally I wouldn't get anything for the face done. Maybe upper and lower blepharoplasty and that's about it. Picture is 6 months post opp and will need laser therapy just like the other girls I have contacted foe the same work. It seems to be a common theme. Also note; I am a very healthy individual, no healthy issues at all. Picture of front of nose 6 months later. Also, if you notice on his instagram he will never post post opp scaring of individuals. Pay attention to photos of 'cheek lifts'. Many of these scars are superficial as if he just went over the front of the ear with a laser and did not operate on because it's dead straight. A real 'cheek lift' scar is not dead strait and actually lines up very close to the tragus of the ear. If you have this superficial scar and also did fat injection. Most chances are he only did a fat injection on you and not the cheek lift.

Visited Blanc surgery in March 2023 for upper and lower face lift and bullhorn lip lift. It's now 18 months on and I am still very happy with the results. I've had several surgeries both cosmetic and non cosmetic over the years and know how my body reacts. I'd discussed the details of what I wanted via video and asked Dr Unal for specifics on anaesthetics and post op care. All were noted and the recovery was easily the best I've ever experienced. At pre op consultation we discussed again what I'd like and I was given a realistic evaluation of what was possible. The deep plane removed neck sagging and contoured the cheek and jaw area perfectly. Sutures were dissolvable and behind the ear. Now all healed and minimally visible. At 59 my expectations were possibly unrealistic but they were exceeded. He took years off my appearance, years! The hospital and hotel location about 30mins apart, post operative care was twice a day and Dr Unal visited daily for checks. Discomfort was minimal from the onset and easily resolved with a paracetamol or 2. By day 5 I was able to wear make up, returned to UK on day 6, by day 14 everything healing well. Follow up was avaliable and remains so. I've not needed it. It's difficult to find a surgeon who suits your requirements in Turkey but overall I'm very content with the whole process and results. Would I do it again, yes. Any thing I'd change, no I honestly can't think of any negatives other than not using Blanc for previous cosmetic surgery which l'd undegone for a lip lift. Do your research, speak to the surgeon on video prior to arranging, have realistic expectations and reach out to others who've visited for their experiences.

Awful experience. It’s been 6 months since the surgery. I don’t think he is a doctor…the results are asymmetrical, bumpy and uneven . Seems a 5years old work. I have to redo everything. The nurses have a serious lack of empathy ( one of them laughed so hard when I was screaming in pain when I wake up from anesthesia-the blonde, short hair, mean face… the head of the nurses I think. Nurse Nur was attentive&helpfull only if you paid her,; also she does not know how to make a medication. The only extremely professional &empathetic was nurse Efna 💞but unfortunately I had her only on the night shift. I would absolutely NOT RECOMMEND this “doctor”. Unfortunately I was catfished by the unrealistic foto on his ig page but the reality is another one.
