I travelled to Istanbul on the 17th of August and had my surgery with Dr. Görkem Atsal on the 19th of August 2025. I had a deep plane facelift, an upper and lower brow lift, and a neck lift. From the very first conversation with my medical consultant, Sahar, I felt completely looked after. She was so kind, patient, and helpful, always answering my questions and putting me at ease. When I arrived, I was met at the airport by a driver, and from that moment on everything was organised perfectly. The nurses and medical staff at the clinic were amazing — caring, attentive, and always there when I needed them. Dr. Görkem Atsal’s assistants were just as wonderful, making me feel comfortable and supported throughout the whole process. And of course, Dr. Görkem Atsal himself — what can I say? He is truly outstanding. His skill, professionalism, and the results he has given me have exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and I’m so grateful I chose him and his team. I can honestly say the whole experience was 5-star from start to finish. If you’re thinking about surgery, I cannot recommend Dr. Görkem Atsal and his team highly enough. They’ve given me not only incredible results but also an experience I’ll never forget.

After reading a couple of bad reviews about the Dr. and his assistants, i want to share my real experience with them, without leading you blind. I’ve had a rhinoplasty done with the Dr.- last week, it’s beginning of my second week now. I am writing this review regarding the treatment, the hospitality and everything overall. I wont be saying anything huge about my rhinoplasty, yet. First thing first the price i paid was for operation, hotel and transport fees. As transport i mean from airport, to clinic, to hospital and back to airport, don't expect to be driven everywhere you like for free. The first person that introduced me to everything was one of his assistant Gulce. Gulce speaks really good English (maybe other languages, but that was the language we spoke). She was really patient with every question i had towards the rhinoplasty, and she is very sweet as person too. On my day of arrival, it was a late flight and i couldn’t do nor a consultation, nor the tests needed for the operation. The next day, early morning, they always texts you the night before to let you know what time the driver will pick you up from the hotel, i went for me consultation with the Dr. and his assistants. By the way before your arrival his assistant makes a group chat with all his assistants, a private group chat just for you if anything needed after work times . The Dr. speaks good English, please note that in Turkey they don't teach them english in school or etc. so don’t judge if the accent is not good. The Dr. is really nice, was very patient with doing my 3D result of my rhinoplasty, because I didn’t liked it 3 times 🤭 Overall first impression was good for me, good manners, gives you tea or coffee, everything you need is there. They have modern interior, new machines. The next day was my operation… here i do have to say a few things about the hospital service. The 5 stars on my review is for the Dr. and his crew, nothing to do with the hospital. When going for the operation you are put in a private hospital, yes he doesn’t own a hospital and so does a lot of other Drs in Turkey. I was put in a room by myself, the room was clean, new and spacious. First thing we did was get blood tests, then i signed the documents for the operation, which his assistant Asal was with me the whole time in hospital and was really sweet and patient with me as i am scared of needles. Because i mentioned to the Dr. I’ve had a heart surgery as a child he insisted to be checked, i was rushed up and down the elevators, later i saw that the Dr. was arguing with the medical sisters on shift for making me go up and down, as i was already in my hospital gown and abocat and was not really comfortable. I was really touched by that, because i felt safe. My operation went well, didn’t feel any pain in my nose to this day. The only pain i was feeling was my abocat, it was hurting so bad that i think this was the worst of all. And nobody spoke english in the hospital, so it was a nightmare. I only stayed 1 night at the hospital and was driven back home. Before going home the Dr. came to check up on me and explained what he has done to my nose. After 3 days my nose cast was removed and the things they put inside your nostrils, dont know the correct name. That was the best part of all. Then the Dr. explained what and shat not to do, how to massage it, i am very pleased of the communication i had with him as Dr and patient, note that i was by myself. Until this day i keep in-touch with his assistant Gulce, asking any questions, they insist to take pictures every day to follow your healing process, which for me sounds enough for a Drs job and team. I am pleased with the choice i made, i felt at home.

I’m here to share my story. Three years ago, I had a rhinoplasty in Harley Street with a surgeon (I won’t mention the name). The price was really high, but like many women, I was ready to pay anything to look and feel better. Sadly, it turned out to be the worst decision. My nose was ruined, and even after waiting a year, the tip looked worse than before. So I started looking into revision surgery in Istanbul through WhatClinic. That’s when I was contacted by Sahar, the assistant of Dr. Gorkem Atsal. She spoke excellent English, answered all my questions patiently, and was very honest from the beginning. I felt safe and informed. Going to Istanbul turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr. Atsal fixed my nose beautifully, and even though it was revision surgery, I paid much less than I did the first time. A year later, after going through some personal stress, I felt like I looked older than my actual age. I had another consultation and video call with Sahar and Dr. Atsal. This time, I decided to go ahead with a face and neck lift, plus a temple lift. The price was very reasonable, and I even brought my mum along we both had our surgeries done on the same trip! 😄 Since I was already there, I thought, why not get my teeth done too? Everything was very well organized, and the care we received was amazing. From start to finish, Sahar and the team took care of every detail. I’ve now had two surgeries with Dr. Atsal, and my mum has too. We’re both beyond happy with our results. If anyone is considering surgery abroad, I highly recommend Dr. Atsal and his team💕

From the first contact with Dr Atsal and the team, I cannot fault the customer service and treatment that I received. I thoroughly recommend them. A great team and wonderful plastic surgeon who really knows his stuff. Excellent 👍

I had my surgery in 2023 and I couldn’t be happier. I had revision rhinoplasty, cat eye, upper and lower blepheroplasty and a corner lip lift. The staff was amazing from the time we got there (even accommodated my bf and I at the time when our luggage was lost at the airport). They were fabulous ! I felt safe and comfy the entire process. Dr. Gorkem was extremely kind, meticulous and confident in all the procedures we had discussed. The results have been amazing! My face looks refreshed and I couldn’t be happier ! I will be following up with him soon for more surgeries! I will only go to Dr. Gorkem for any of my facial plastic surgery procedure going forward! He is well worth the trip from the USA! Love him and his staff! Thank you Dr.Gorkem!!!

After much research, I decided to have my biggest nose job done by Dr. Gorksem Atlas. I haven't regretted it once. The results were better than I expected. The staff was incredibly warm and professional. I am truly delighted. I would like to thank this team once again. Dr. Gorksem Atlas is the best plastic surgeon in Turkey.

Hello, I would like to share my huge impression, experience, and gratitude to Dr. Gorkem Atsal and his team of assistants, organizers, and companions, for the NEW ME. After a hard decision to undergo several surgeries (combined face & neck lift, upper and lower eyelid, and dental treatment) all in one, my life changed. My smile doesn't leave my face. I am 46 years old, and a mother of 4 children. After a dynamic, everyday, and monotonous life, I am now filled with new energy, self-esteem, and happiness to continue forward my life with my incredible new smile. I do not regret for a second my decision and I would choose the doctor again for other procedures in the future. My personal appeal to Doctor Gorkem Atsal and his team is: THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXISTENCE

Dear Doctors and staff, Greetings from Tatiana, I’m feeling like a new person. My friends here tell me I’m looking young, refreshed, and pretty. And my husband has suddenly become much more attentive! So I thank you very, very much for your kindness, patience, skill, and expertise. You’ve made a wonderful difference in my outlook on life. My best for All of you!!!
