⚠️ Warning – Blanc Surgery / Dr Kerim (My Personal Experience) I am writing this as a warning based on my own experience with Blanc Surgery and Dr Kerim. I would strongly advise anyone considering surgery here to research very carefully. From my first visit, the main focus seemed to be money, handled largely by Dr Kerim’s wife. I never met my anaesthetist, and Dr Kerim told me what procedures he thought I should have rather than properly discussing options with me. I was advised to have an uplift, new implants and nipple reduction. After surgery, I never saw Dr Kerim again. I was sent to a hotel after hospital discharge, only to arrive and be told there was no room booked for me. I was left waiting for hours before being moved to a different hotel that was far away, poor quality, with no food nearby. I was in severe pain, carrying my surgical drains in a bag, and having to get taxis just to find food. I developed an infection. My drains were only removed a few hours before my flight home, despite still producing a lot of fluid. I felt this was rushed purely because I was leaving. I had breast surgery 10 years prior and immediately felt something was wrong this time. My concerns were repeatedly ignored. Once back in England, the infection worsened. My scars became thick, red and abnormal. I paid to see a private UK surgeon who advised the surgery was poor, the implants were badly placed, and they were smaller than my previous implants, which I did not request. I had asked for the same size or larger. After 18 months of complaints and being treated rudely and unprofessionally via WhatsApp, I was eventually offered revision surgery — but only if I paid £2,500. Therefore I knew trying to fight for my money back for the surgery would be ignored or refused so I could only then ask to try to solve the issue as they was ruining my life physically and mentally. Anyway I refused to pay anymore money, as I should not have to pay to fix poor work. Eventually, they agreed to revise the surgery, but I had to pay for my own flights, accommodation, transfers, and was told I could only stay in hospital for one day. The night before surgery, a random person messaged me aggressively on WhatsApp at midnight, saying they would only do scar revision and that I should go back to England if I wasn’t happy — or I would be charged extra. I was alone, terrified, and crying. I felt unsafe and intimidated. At the hospital, I was pressured to sign documents written in Turkish, which I refused. I was then asked to write a statement saying my scars were due to genetics — something no UK surgeon had ever suggested, and something contradicted by my other surgical scars. I refused again. A man later entered my room, admitted he was the person messaging me, and aggressively demanded I sign paperwork. When I refused, he stormed out and slammed the door. The operating environment was extremely distressing. The theatre looked dirty, the surgical bed was ripped, staff were in casual scrubs, and there was no clear sterile preparation. I was not properly introduced to staff. The anaesthetist simply said “I put you to sleep” and proceeded. I woke up in extreme pain with no adequate pain relief. The food was inedible, and I was told I could not even have toast or tea unless I went out myself. I ended up walking the streets in my pyjamas with a drip stand trying to find food after fasting. I was discharged the next morning, thrown out of my hospital room, given no support bra, and never saw Dr Kerim again. I was told he had an emergency — only to later be told by staff that he had flown out and gone on holiday. The lies were obvious. ⸻ Final Advice Based on my experience, I do not recommend: • Dr Kerim • Blanc Surgery • This hospital I would urge anyone considering surgery abroad, especially in Turkey, to only proceed if every review is consistently 5-star, and after doing extensive independent research. Please learn from my experience.

AVOID !! His surgery has left me suffering with Capsular Contracture and he doesn’t care !!! I am writing this out of total frustration and negligence from dr kerim unal. I had my surgery done may 2025 and have been trying to reach out since August 2025 with issues and sent multiple photos and messages with no response or care , he replied once with “they are acceptable” and that I would have to pay £3000 to fix. They look absolutely awful and every photo shows proof of this. They are quick to take the money but the after care and communication is non existent. I booked for an uplift and implants because my breast were very bad before hand due to having 2 children and this was supposed to be life changing surgery for me , he only did implants as he said “i did bigger implants to avoid uplift” ! I believe this was because he had not given him self time because he was more interested in collecting the cash that doing the job properly. Now I’m left with uneven (still saggy) heavy implants that are still rock hard 11 months later !! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I had surgery last year, on January 9th, 2025. I am not satisfied with the operation. I reported a mistake to the doctor, but he does not acknowledge it.

I traveled all the way from the USA to Turkey to undergo a life-changing transformation with Dr. Kerim, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. After previous surgeries that left me feeling incomplete, I was initially skeptical and fearful. However, the glowing testimonials from his international patients convinced me to take the leap. Dr. Kerim is truly a magician. He went beyond my expectations and delivered results I didn’t even think were possible. He was honest from the start, never overpromising, yet he managed to achieve exactly what I had dreamed of—and more. Today, I feel confident and beautiful in my own skin again. A huge part of my incredible experience was thanks to his remarkable team—Nur, Efna, Sevcon, and everyone else. I traveled alone and woke up in a hospital bed in a foreign country, but I was never truly alone. Nur, in particular, became the sister I never had. She was gentle, compassionate, and always by my side, providing both physical and emotional support, even keeping me company when fear crept in. Her care made me feel like I was surrounded by family, not in a hospital. Thank you I found a sister .Efna was absolutely amazing as well especially when panicking took place,she came in and comfort me and held me. This experience was nothing short of a blessing. I am forever grateful to Dr. Kerim and his phenomenal team. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone considering plastic surgery to make the journey to Turkey and trust Dr. Kerim. Stop settling for average results—Dr. Kerim is a true artist who will transform your life. You will be my surgeon forever❤️

Left me with severe deformity from breast uplift and implant, lied that my implants were placed under the muscle. Put me back under anaesthetic the following day to remove stitch that they had out between my breasts. There was no support from his non existent customer service support. I was told there was nothing wrong with my result and I could come back for revision if I wanted to (with a cost) but it would likely be the same result. Completely destroyed my confidence and thankfully found a different surgeon who has done his best to correct dr kerims mistakes. Please do not attend this surgeon.

Left my partner severely flawed post surgery and took no accountability for it. They are happy to take your money but never consider giving some/all back when the job is not delivered as paid for. Do your research. Far better surgeons in Turkey that will produce quality results and/or help when things don't go right. Since this surgery, we've had to do the surgery again in our home country to fix this errors. Costing over 30k in total. Not to mention the scars he left my partner with being so noticeable and not discrete whatsoever. It's like he just cut where ever he wanted. Our new surgeon did a far better job with tiny incisions in hidden places so you'd never know surgery was performed. Expensive lesson. We do NOT recommend.

I had rhinoplasty surgery with dr kerim one year ago. My nostrils are very uneven with one sitting considerably higher than the other and I have no definition on the tip of my nose. It doesn’t look much better than before. If you read through the reviews this is a common problem I have been ignored over and over again by his team. When you are booking they are very responsive. As soon as you’ve paid and had your surgery you’ll never hear from them again All the comments on the instagram are from their staff. I think they actively remove any negative posting I also got very ill from the antibiotics the day I was supposed to fly home. I could barely leave my bed. I was ignored by nurse Nur. I had to beg the booking team to get me help Do not go here. I have contacted a lawyer to take legal action so I can get my nose fixed
