Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya Anmeldelser 7

I recently travelled to Istanbul on my own to undergo a deep plane facelift with deep plane neck reduction with Dr Sakarya, and I can honestly say the care I received from start to finish was exceptional.

Travelling abroad for surgery alone can feel daunting, but the entire team made me feel safe, supported and cared for throughout my stay. Every transfer was organised perfectly, with drivers waiting for me at the airport, hospital and hotel, which removed a huge amount of stress from the process.

The pre-operative assessment was incredibly thorough. I underwent extensive testing and examinations before surgery, which gave me real confidence that my safety and wellbeing were the team’s top priorities. Nothing felt rushed and every question I had was answered patiently and professionally.

Following surgery, I stayed in hospital for two nights where I received 24-hour care. The medical team and facilities were amazing.
Then I was discharged to a fantastic hotel.
The nursing staff were attentive, kind and reassuring at all times. Knowing there was always someone available if I needed help was particularly important as I was travelling alone. The standard of care I received was excellent and I always felt I was being closely monitored and looked after.

The aftercare has been equally impressive. The team have remained available throughout my recovery, checking on my progress and responding quickly whenever I had concerns or questions. Recovering from surgery can be an emotional experience, but I never felt unsupported.

Most importantly, I am delighted with my results so far. I am two weeks post op and I am still healing, but I can already see a beautifully defined jawline and neck contour emerging, while still looking natural and like myself.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Sakarya and his team to anyone considering facial rejuvenation surgery. Their professionalism, expertise, organisation and genuine care made what could have been a very intimidating experience feel safe and manageable, even as a woman travelling to another country on her own.

Dr Sakarya is one of the most skillful surgeons I have met and at my age (68) I’ve met a lot. In addition, he is also patient and kind and he listens very carefully to understand the outcome you want. He doesn’t try to sell you a treatment you don’t need and he never pressurises you to make a decision. I felt so safe with him and I loved the results so much that I had three different surgeries in 2 years. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Add to that his amazing logistics and nursing teams who look after you from even before you decide, till long after you go home. A 5 star service at all times. The hospital he uses is beautiful and safe and his private nursing staff so caring. I honestly can’t recommend him enough. If you are looking for not just one of the most skilled but also the safest surgeon for your face lift, Dr Sakarya is definitely your best choice. I can’t thank him enough for the change he has made to my life. I no longer feel invisible or overlooked and highly recommend him for all face and neck surgery.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with my experience with Dr. Sakarya and his entire team. From the very beginning, I felt cared for, respected, and supported every step of the way. Dr. Sakarya is truly one of the people I will never forget and will always be grateful for. He is incredibly humble, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about his calling as a surgeon. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail gave me so much confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process.
From my time in Istanbul to my return home to the U.S., I received exceptional care. I was able to meet with Dr. S multiple times after surgery, had nurse visits at the hotel, smooth and reliable transportation, a dedicated hospital nurse, and continuous follow-ups even after I arrived back home. The communication and level of care never stopped, which meant so much to me as an international patient traveling alone.
As a solo patient, safety was one of my biggest concerns, but the entire team made me feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for at all times. They went above and beyond to make sure I was healing well, informed, and emotionally supported during recovery.
What truly stands out is how personal and attentive the experience felt. I never felt like “just another patient.” Every question I had was answered with patience and kindness, and the team was always available whenever I needed reassurance or help.
I am beyond happy with my results and so thankful I trusted Dr. Sakarya and his team. Choosing them was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I highly recommend Dr. Sakarya to anyone considering surgery, especially international patients traveling alone. You will be in caring, skilled, and trustworthy hands from start to finish.

After struggling with facial laxity and complications caused by a previous procedure, finding Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya was one of the best decisions I could have made.

I underwent a deep plane facelift, neck lift, temple lift and fat transfer to the lower eyelids with Dr. Sakarya, and I can honestly say he is exceptionally talented when it comes to facial surgery. His understanding of facial anatomy, balance and natural beauty is truly impressive.

From the very beginning, he was professional, calm, honest and extremely thorough. He explained everything clearly and made me feel safe before such a major surgery. What impressed me the most was his precision and attention to detail. Even during the healing process, you can already see how beautifully he works. My incisions are extremely clean and discreet, and I look fresher and younger, not “operated on”.

The neck lift especially made a huge difference for me after previous treatments had left my skin loose and uneven. Dr. Sakarya managed to restore definition and harmony to my face while still keeping me looking like myself — just fresher, younger and more refined.

I was also very nervous beforehand about the long anesthesia, but I worried for nothing. This was honestly one of the best anesthesia experiences I have ever had. After surgery they kept me warm with heating blowers, and I did not experience the unpleasant shaking and shivering that I had after previous surgeries.

I also want to thank Dr. Sakarya’s personal nurses and especially Orhan. The nurses took amazing care of me the entire time, checked my incisions constantly, and helped me with absolutely everything I needed. I felt very safe and comfortable in the hospital at all times and truly felt that I was in good hands.

Orhan has also been incredibly patient throughout the entire process and has always replied whenever I had questions or needed help. That has meant a lot to me because after surgery it is very normal to have concerns and many questions.

Communication both before and after surgery was excellent, and I genuinely felt cared for the whole time. I am truly grateful for the care and skill I received, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya to anyone considering facial rejuvenation surgery.

I recently after 18 months researching had my Deep Plane face lift neck surgery and facial fat graft with Dr Sakarya. Firstly he is a truly nice man kind considerate and very skilled he genuinely cares about his patients. He is surrounded by a fantastic team his PA Orhan is absolutely amazing i have nothing but praise his personal nurses super. Surgery is very difficult as you are not expecting the emotional roller coaster his nurse was so very kind to me. He thoroughly checks after surgery 4 times prior to my flight home checking stitches etc his nurse personally taking us to the pharmacy to ensure we were ok. i would 100% recommend this Dr and his team so much so i will go back to him for any other treatment. I personally know several other patients who equally had a great experience with the Dr . My Surgery was March 2026 my healing has been great scars healed and barely visible. Its still early days as 9 weeks PO but overall im extremely happy with the outcome. Do not hesitate to contact Dr Sakarya he and his team are first class.

I travelled alone from Scotland UK transfers and accommodation hospital appointments all fully taken care of by the team punctual and always kept in the loop i would in a heartbeat do it again and i am thankful he was my Surgeon he has an impressive background and is a very skilled surgeon.

I am 68 years old, and I just had the most transformative experience of my life. I traveled alone from the San Francisco Bay Area to Turkey for a deep plane facelift — and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

My journey to Dr. Sakarya began with nearly a year of serious research. I joined forums, studied before-and-after photos, read countless patient accounts, and looked deeply into surgeon backgrounds. When I kept coming across his name, I understood why. He is a Professor, a speaker at professional conferences, a teacher in his field — and notably, a surgeon once renowned for reconstructing severely damaged tissue. That last detail told me everything about his level of skill. This is a man who can do extraordinary things with a scalpel.

A Zoom consultation confirmed it. I was confident I had found my surgeon.

The medical tourism package Dr. Sakarya's team provided was thoughtfully designed for exactly someone like me — a woman traveling alone to a foreign country for a major procedure. Everything was handled: all transfers and transportation, the surgery itself, anesthesiologist, operating room, two nights in a private hospital room with a private nurse, all necessary medications upon discharge, nine days in a medical hotel with breakfast, daily visits with Dr. Sakarya and/or his nurse, and also HBOT sessions. I never once felt alone or without support.

As for the procedures — we went big. Deep plane face and neck lift with neck reduction and gland shaving, endoscopic forehead lift, brow work, ptosis correction on both eyes, a corner lip lift, fat transfer and nano fat, and CO2 laser with exosomes. Dr. Sakarya told me he thought he could take 15 years off my face.

He did exactly that.

I am not yet three weeks into my recovery, and I can already see it. I cannot wait to see where I am at three months, six months, and a full year out.

As for value — what I paid for this complete, all-inclusive package was a fraction of what the same procedures would cost in the United States, where prices for comparable work can reach well into the six figures. The savings were significant enough to be life-changing on their own — but paired with this level of care and artistry, it felt almost unreal.

If you are seriously considering a facelift and want a surgeon who combines world-class skill with genuine attention to each patient, put Dr. Sakarya on your short list. I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me, and I give him my fullest, most enthusiastic endorsement.

After years of struggling with my abdominal wall problems and a previous surgery that unfortunately did not give me the result I hoped for, finding Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya honestly changed everything for me.
From the first consultation, I felt that he truly understood my problem and took my case seriously. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions patiently, and gave me confidence before such a major surgery.
I had a very complex abdominal wall reconstruction with multiple meshes, and throughout the whole process I always felt safe and supported. Dr. Sakarya and his assistant Orhan were both incredibly kind, helpful, and always available whenever I needed something or had concerns.
What impressed me the most was how precise and careful Dr. Sakarya is. Even now during healing, you can already see how beautifully and meticulously he works. The sutures are extremely clean and aesthetic, and I honestly feel that once everything is fully healed, almost nothing will even be noticeable.
The aftercare was also amazing. They really care about their patients and continue checking on you after surgery, which means a lot, especially when you travel abroad for an operation. The whole experience — from communication to organization — felt professional and smooth.
Recovery after this kind of surgery is not easy physically or emotionally, but I already feel stronger and more stable than before, and I’m truly grateful for everything Dr. Sakarya and his team have done for me.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya to anyone looking for a highly skilled surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients.
And a big thank you to Orhan as well for always being kind, patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. 🙏
