Op. Dr. Handan Şimşek Turan

Communication and coordination before and after the appointment were handled by Kubra, and she was excellent. She was kind, efficient, responsive and genuinely caring. I really liked her and felt supported when speaking with her, particularly when I wasn’t feeling well. Unfortunately, the experience with Dr Handan herself was the complete opposite. Before travelling, I had a brief video consultation with Dr Handan where I clearly explained my concerns. I was reassured and told these wouldn’t be an issue. On the day of the appointment, the in-person consultation felt extremely rushed - no more than 10 minutes. I was marked up very quickly and taken straight into the treatment room. During that short discussion, I again raised my concerns and suggested alternatives. I was told that they would go ahead as planned so I trusted her professional judgment. Immediately after the treatment, I noticed very large and obvious swelling. It was significant enough that I assumed it must be normal, as surely someone would have noticed otherwise. When Kubra came to check on me, I showed it to her and was given a garment. The following day, I began feeling unwell whenever pressure was applied to that area. I contacted Kubra, and to her credit, she came to see me straight away. However, there was no clear explanation given as to what the issue might be, and the area was actively manipulated - something I later learned should absolutely not have been done. At my follow-up appointment with Dr Handan, she appeared very unconcerned, even after I showed her how the swelling and discolouration had spread significantly. Once I returned to the UK, I was referred to A&E. I was diagnosed with a serious complication that required medical attention. I was seen by multiple doctors, all of whom independently commented that the aftercare and handling of the situation had been very poor. To make matters worse, more than six months on - beyond the suggested waiting period (I kept being told to wait 12 weeks) - I am still unhappy with the final outcome, as well as scarring. Doesn't feel like much difference! While Kubra was genuinely supportive and did her best within her role, the clinical experience itself was distressing, poorly managed and very disappointing. *UPDATE - and after leaving this review, Kubra got in touch with me to say my review of 1* was unfair because of how she supported me. I have been very clear in my review of Kubra vs Dr Handan. This profile is for Dr Handan - the surgery, the results, issues and her bedside manner. For Kubra to message me basically asking me to change my review, saying it upset her - very annoying on top of everything else. Then I blocked the whatsapp as I don't want to have to deal with that, and she messaged me off another number trying to show me before and after results (the afters under a month post treatment). The 1 star was for Kubra alone, now would give a 0* if I could! (I have been clear in my intent of the review above not to disclose the treatment I had).

I’m very happy with my lip filler result. Dr. Handan was very professional and attentive, and the outcome looks extremely natural. Thank you so much! Highly recommended.💕💕

A huge thank you to the doctor and the entire team for their support and impeccable approach. I confidently recommend Op.

I recently underwent rhinoplasty at this clinic and wanted to share my experience. From the very first moments of our interaction, it was evident that Doctor Handan Şimşek Turan is a true professional. She demonstrated a clear understanding of my desires regarding the procedure. The surgery itself was successful, and my recovery has proceeded without any complications. It has now been a month since the operation, and I am pleased to report that everything is going well. I am very satisfied with the results. Thank you for your excellent care.

I am so happy with my experience and results with Dr Handan in Turkey. From the very beginning, the whole process was professional, reassuring, and tailored to me. Dr Handan took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and confident before my treatment. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the care I received afterwards was excellent. The clinic was clean and well-organised, and the staff were supportive and attentive throughout my stay. I felt looked after from start to finish. I am still swollen so unable to see my results yet but am confident I’ll be happy. Choosing Dr Handan and her team was the best decision I could have made for my cosmetic surgery journey. I would highly recommend Dr Handan to anyone considering treatment in Turkey — her skill, care, and professionalism are truly outstanding. Kubra is also fantastic, a nurse who is with you every step of the way, any concerns, questions anything she is always there to help. She’s also so sweet and kind, just perfect. I cannot express how happy I am. And any concerns you have, I understand but leave them at the door. I whole heartedly recommend Dr Handan and will be back for anything in the future. Thank you Dr Handan and Kubra, you’re both out of this world 🌍 💖🥰
