My horror story at the hospital / clinic: Dr. Atsal lacks the necessary skills. He does not have a private clinic, but a simple office in a building, and rents operating rooms at Erdem Hospital. Since there is no medical staff surrounding him, you are supervised by his sales team. They are nothing more than contract salesmen who put immense pressure on you to collect the full payment (Ms. Gulce even demanded payment before I bought my plane ticket). Once the money is received, customer service stops and follow-up is non-existent. My facial surgery (deep plane, neck lift, and blepharoplastie) is a total disaster. During my stay, my drains were improperly installed. Faced with the inaction of the nurses who did not understand English, Dr. Atsal took me into a non-sterile hospital corridor. On a small bed, he manually tried to force out the buildup of blood and fluid all along my ears. A true butcher scene with blood everywhere. Three months later, the result is catastrophic. The sutures at my earlobes are inadequate. He removed far too much skin: my eyes are deformed, asymmetrical, and I still have a terrible time closing them. I have stretch marks that I try my best to camouflage. In the face of my distress, the manager Ms. Gulce is condescending and dismissive. They simply tell me to wait during video calls. I had to consult the Vensa Law Medical Malpractice firm in Istanbul to start legal procedures. Avoid them at all costs, a low price will never be worth your face.

Ich bin entstellt, hatte Nekrosen, eine Not-OP, kein Gefühl mehr im Gesicht, extreme Narben. Die Praxis hat mir nie ein Angebot gemacht, mich nachzuoperieren... trotz mehrfacher Nachfrage!

Leider deeplane facelift nicht gelungen, Narben sehr schlecht, temporal Lift eine voll Katastrophe mit Dellen, Narben und dauer Problemen und Schwellungen, alles schlimmer wie vor der OP. Keine Reaktion oder angebot vom Team, leider kommt sowas für mich nicht mehr in Frage.

I was booked in with Dr Gorkem for a neck lift. And from the minute i arrived in istanbul they did not send me a welcome message or anything, or didn’t even want to speak about my surgery until 2 days before i was due to have it because apparantly they were to busy with other people. So something felt off with these guys and i started doing my research properly… after typing his name on facebook people were saying how he’s botched their faces and not to go with him. so i then typed his name on google and searched if he was on the botched list and he is quite high up on there and people saying how these guys pay for good reviews and followers etc… I didn’t feel comfortable so i cancelled and went with one of the top rated surgeons in istanbul Dr Güray. He told me that Lipo suction would work great on me and a neck lift isn’t required. Dr Gorkem said Lipo wouldn’t be successful on my neck and i require a neck lift which seems to me like they just want more money out of you. I’ve got neck tattoos and Dr gorkem said how none of my neck tattoo would be effected with a neck lift where Dr Güray who i went with told me a neck lift would pull the tattoo up behind my ears which i wouldn’t want! I would seriously do your research guys before going with Dr Gorkem because they tell you what you want to hear! I believe he probably has done some good surgeries on people but the amount of people saying he’s botched them totally changed my mind! Dig deeper doing research you’ll find a lot and be surprised!!

Bei mir lief es ziemlich schlecht. Ich hatte vor 1 Jahr ein deep plane facelift mit bullhorn lip lift. Ich endete mit einer Nekrose an der Oberlippe, die darin endete, dass eine Seite der Oberlippe ca einen halben Zentimeter weiter oben ist als die andere und einer hässlichen Narbe. Die Nekrose hinter meinem Ohr brachte mich letztendlich sogar in die Notaufnahme/Notfalloperation - ich hatte eine klaffende Wunde von 4x4x2 cm und jetzt eine sehr hässliche Narbe. War neulich bei einer Spezialistin in der Schweiz, diese meinte sogar mein ganzes Gesicht sei im Ungleichgewicht. Eine Nachoperation würde sehr viel Geld kosten und das habe ich nicht. Bis heute heisst es aus Istanbul immer wieder, ja, man müsse noch etwas abwarten - aber ich habe weder eine Beurteilung, was man tun kann, noch ein Angebot, dass ich eine Korrektur erhalten würde. Eventuell wollte man nur diese Bewertung abwenden. Ganz klar - Finger weg! Und wenn das Team noch so nett ist!

I had a breast augmentation on 12.05.2023 with Dr Ayse Kalay. From the beginning, I was very clear that I wanted a large size (around 600cc). I was reassured that this would be done. However, after the surgery, I discovered that much smaller implants were used, without proper explanation or agreement from me. The final result does not match what was promised or what I requested. Another serious issue was the lack of a written guarantee. When I left the clinic, they did not provide any guarantee documents, and no one made the effort to give them to me. Only after I left a negative review on Google Maps did they suddenly send the guarantee documents to my home in the UK. This should have been provided before I left the clinic, not after a bad review. I am extremely disappointed with the outcome. My breasts look small and saggy, and the result is far from what I was expecting or agreed to. Overall, this experience has left me feeling misled and let down, both in terms of communication and professionalism. I would not recommend this clinic based on my experience.

Horrible experience - I had severe complications after undergoing surgery in his clinic an not only did they make me fly back home with a necrosis but they then disappeared and left me to on my own saying that "it happens".

The Most Abominable Experience of My life AVOID Gorkem Atsal & His “Team” I was promised a 30% flight cashback to have surgery with Dr. Gorkem Atsal. Instead, I was left with severe facial scarring, a ruined nose, and permanent disfigurement from poor technique and misplaced incisions. When a highly respected revision surgeon emailed concerns about my results and a request for the surgical report his team ignored the warning. Instead he was blocked. I was told to “give it time”for the healing — the classic excuse used to downplay botched, unskilled work in the hope the patient will stop complaining. Atsal Gaslighting! Rather than fixing the damage, they blocked me, issued legal threats, and tried to intimidate me into silence. I have an audio recording from a woman in Queensland, Australia; a tall blonde who admits she receives kickbacks from the Atsal crew. This confirms what I now believe: their priority is profit, not patient safety just PROFIT. The way his promoters describe the industry as “cut-throat” suddenly makes sense , they’ll do whatever it takes to get you on the table, regardless of outcome. I have since spoken to many women with equally devastating results… misplaced incisions, failed facelifts, botched neck lifts, and permanent scarring. The so-called “after-care” is nothing more than damage control for botched work. This was the most abominable experience I have ever endured. I have documentation, photos, and recordings to support every claim. My sincere warning: do not risk your face, health, or safety with this surgeon or his team.
