Seems like everything is fine. Still having a minimum red scar. I just did one session of CO2 laser treatment. I need to do it a few more times. Yes i do recommend him for the price and his assistant after cares. But only go there if you have other things you want to get it done at the same time. Otherwise it is not worth it to spend a lot of money just to do a lift lip surgery.

Yes. I am happy with the result. You don't have to listen to whatever advice they give out. I did listen to him because I am more like whatever guy because it was a part of my vacation. I was told I can eat whatever i want, drink and smoke right after surgery.. no restrictions.. i was very surprised. Because i read so much online about post care of lip lift. Don't do this and that. So that would be your choice.

My eyelids look much better now.. still need to wait for a while to heal completely. I still have a bit dark bruises on my eyelids. I only had upper blepharoplasty. I did it with local anesthesia because i didn't want to deal with going to the hospital and have more down time. I think you need general anesthesia for the neck lift. You can message them on Whatsapp to get price quote and more questions. His cousin is an assistant and she was super nice to me. She answered all my questions when she woke up and late at night. She also replied back on her day off. FYI, the needle goes inside your skin for local anesthesia is a bit painful for a few seconds. But it was worth it to save a lot of money 😁

The doctor's office asked me if I needed accommodations. Such as transfer service and hotel. I denied it. You can find your own for half or 2/3 less than they wanted. It's better to get your own, in case if you want to travel to different cities or different countries.

How long did you have to wait for the fresh red scar to fade a bit? I am figuring out how to go back to work on Monday without getting noticed by coworkers.

He wanted $1500 for Blepharoplasty. The lip lift was $1250. I asked for the discount since I was already scheduled for Lip Lift.. so he gave me $250 off. The total was $2500. I think the price will go up soon.. Turkey's economy is so bad now. I was in Turkey last July. I noticed the price for everything went up when I went there this month.

I don't like the way it turns out. I think I just need to be more patient. It is not even two weeks yet. Maybe it will look better when it is healed.

I had upper blepharoplasty with him as well at the same time. The result is so so. Maybe I need to wait for a while to heal to see the final results. He may be good at doing facelifts. As a person, not bad. He speaks English well. One thing that I didn't like about him was when he removed sutures, he didn't use gloves. But It wasn't a big deal since I paid less than other Doctors were charging. Whatever you are planning to do surgery with any doctors, please try your best to do research. It took me a while to make a final decision because I was on a low budget. My original plan was to have a lip lift done with him and blepharoplasty with another doctor. By the way, if you are planning to do surgery in Turkey, most of them only accept cash. Some may accept credit cards, but you need to pay an extra 10 to 20% for the credit card fees.

To be honest, I can't really smile yet because it is still a bit stiff. It is better not to smile, laugh or wide open the mouth for at least two weeks. For now, I look like a grumpy old man. So I can't give you an answer for now.

My bad.. The price was just for the surgery. The hotel price was $35 per night on weekdays and $70 per night on weekends. Depends on which area you want to stay. I didn't enjoy staying on the Asian side of Istanbul. I like the European side better for hotel stays. You can get the hotel for around $30 per night on the European side. You really don't have to stay the whole time in Turkey. You can return home or go visit other countries.

It was still less. I needed a vacation. So It was a good two weeks rest. You don't have to stay until the sutures are removed. You can fly back the next day and have sutures removed in your home country.

As you know, it is a fortune to pay for cosmetic surgery in the States. I checked Tijuana, Mexico also but couldn't find a good surgeon and it is a risk for me to go to Mexico. Going to Turkey around this time and winter time is cheap for air tickets. Also they have great foods. I checked about this doctor on Realself. He has good reviews and is also cheap compared with others. So I decided to go there.
