Review Time
Dr Murat Polat and his team are truly amazing!
I’m writing this review post-op to share my full experience of having a breast uplift and implants in Istanbul, and I want to break everything down step by step because I am honestly so happy with my entire journey.
Booking & communication:
After doing lots of research, I contacted the doctor’s consultant, Deena. She is absolutely lovely—so knowledgeable, accommodating, and understanding throughout the whole process. I had a lot of anxiety about going ahead with surgery, but at every stage she reassured me with her care, empathy, and professionalism. I never felt rushed or pressured to book, and I was given full itineraries, clear information, and constant communication. Deena always replied quickly to my questions, and compared to other consultations I had, the level of support from this team was on another level.
Hospital staff & care:
Everyone was warm and welcoming—from the nurses to the doctors and translators/assistants—which helped so much because I was very nervous inside. They genuinely felt like friends and family looking after me.
Most nurses spoke some English or used translation to communicate, and I never felt that a language barrier affected my care.
My night nurse spoke perfect English and was incredible—constantly checking my pain relief, making sure I was drinking water, and encouraging me to walk regularly.
The daytime nurses were also wonderful. One older nurse who has worked there for 35 years was especially lovely—like having a grandma caring for you. Even though she spoke little English, her experience and attentiveness made me feel completely safe.
I also want to give a special mention to Denecia, one of the translators/assistants. She is incredibly uplifting, and her joyful personality truly makes a difference—especially after surgery when you’re not feeling your best. Her warmth, positivity, and kindness are such an asset to the whole team.
Facilities, hotel & transport:
The drivers to and from the hotel /airport were kind, helpful, and assisted with everything.
The hotel is in a great location with shops nearby, and the hospital is less than a five-minute walk away, which felt very reassuring.
My mum was also well looked after with food, drinks, and even free tea in the cafeteria.
The hospital itself is very clean, and on my floor there were only four rooms, meaning the nurses could give each patient plenty of attention. I was never left feeling alone or unsupported. Each room has a sofa bed for your companion ,wardrobes ,fridge and a private walk-in wet room.
Consultation with Dr Murat Polat
One thing I wanted to mention is that the full consultation with Dr Murat takes place on the day of the procedure. I was initially a little worried this might feel rushed, but it was the complete opposite.
I brought inspiration photos, tried on different implant sizes, and felt that my vision was fully understood. Dr Murat took his time with detailed measurements, ensuring precision and balance, and really listened to my wants and needs. I felt confident that the final result was carefully planned rather than rushed.
I even returned on my last day to have Botox, which was noticeably more affordable than in the UK—another great bonus of my trip.
Something I truly admired was hearing that Dr Murat had turned a patient away because their BMI did not meet safe criteria. Knowing this isn’t uncommon for him showed me how much he values patient safety, professional standards, and his reputation. It reassured me that he prioritises doing things properly rather than simply taking payment, which unfortunately is something you sometimes hear about elsewhere.
Surgery & recovery
Everything was explained clearly at every stage, so there were no surprises and I felt fully prepared.
The surgery took a couple of hours, and I woke up in my room feeling comfortable and cared for immediately. The nurse who helped with my first shower was incredibly kind and supportive—don’t feel shy, they have seen everything and make you feel completely at ease.
I am now two weeks post-op and still receiving support and quick responses to any concerns, which means so much.
Overall result
I would absolutely recommend Dr Murat Polat and his team to anyone considering surgery. I had a breast lift with implants, and the shape is perfect for me. The incision lines are very neat, and the implant placement is amazing.
If you are feeling worried—don’t be. You are truly in safe hands here.
The doctor and their team were fantastic. My coordinator was always available and went above and beyond to assist me with any questions. They handled all arrangements seamlessly, making everything hassle-free. Overall, my experience has been excellent. Now that I'm home to recover, the aftercare team continues to provide outstanding support, ensuring I'm doing well and following up regularly. They also send me the necessary information for a smooth recovery ❤️
Words can hardly express how wonderful my experience has been! After a recent breast uplift with implants, I am incredibly grateful for the care and support I received. From the start, I felt completely at ease and well-informed. Just days post-op, I’m thrilled with the results, and I know they will only improve as I heal. The hospital was well-maintained, and the staff's attention to cleanliness added to my comfort. Exploring the city with the team's guidance made the experience even more memorable. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and highly recommend them to anyone considering surgery.
The care provided by the team was exceptional. My coordinator was always available for any questions I had and arranged everything seamlessly. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Now that I'm home, the aftercare team continues to check in and ensure I'm doing well, sending helpful information for my recovery. ❤️
The care I received was outstanding – a perfect 10/10 from start to finish. I highly recommend the team. Having had previous surgery elsewhere, I can confidently say this experience was on another level. From the first interaction, I felt safe and understood. The surgeon is not only skilled but also compassionate, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly. The nursing staff was incredibly attentive and caring, making my recovery feel supported. A special thank you to the coordinator, who was always available and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process.
From the moment I inquired about breast augmentation, the team was fantastic! My coordinator ensured everything went smoothly, and the pre and post-op care was outstanding. The surgeon was remarkable, answering all my questions and clearly explaining the process. Just one week post-op, and I’m already impressed with the results. Excited to see how they develop!
I cannot recommend the team highly enough. From my initial inquiry to post-op follow-ups, I felt reassured and cared for. The staff was kind and attentive, and the surgeon’s bedside manner was calming. I’m delighted with the results of my breast augmentation, and the care I received was unparalleled. I would recommend this team to anyone considering surgery!
Just over two weeks post-op from a breast uplift, I am thrilled with the results. After previous unsatisfactory surgeries, I was nervous, but the team's care was exceptional from the very first contact. My coordinator was incredibly helpful, and the nursing staff was attentive and supportive, even during my hospital stay. I am grateful for the fantastic care that made my experience so positive. I can’t wait for my next procedure!
I had a tummy tuck with lipo, and from the moment I arrived in Istanbul, the team took care of everything. The surgeon prioritized my best interests over profit, ensuring the best results. The aftercare since returning home has been excellent, with my coordinator always available for support. I’m thrilled with my results and grateful for the life-changing experience. I can’t wait for my next procedure!
I traveled from afar for surgery and couldn't be more grateful. The surgeon understood my needs from the first consultation and delivered amazing results. My scars are healing beautifully, and the aftercare has been incredibly supportive. The entire team is warm and professional, making this experience exceptional. I highly recommend this surgeon!
