Debi Stewart
United States 🇺🇸 Trustpilot Review 2026
I recently travelled to Istanbul for surgery with Dr Safa, I had a deep plane face lift, neck lift, brow lift, upper eyes and facial fat transfer and I cannot speak highly enough of the entire experience. From my very first consultation through to post-operative care, I felt completely safe, informed and supported. Dr Safa is not only an exceptionally skilled surgeon, but also calm, reassuring and incredibly professional. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident in my decision. His attention to detail and precision is evident in his work. A very special thank you to Nurse Busa, who was absolutely outstanding. Her kindness, patience and attentiveness made such a difference during recovery. She checked on me regularly, reassured me when I felt swollen and emotional, and genuinely cared about my comfort and wellbeing. Travelling abroad for surgery can feel daunting, but my experience in Istanbul was seamless and well organised. The team were professional, compassionate and always available. I am so grateful for the excellent care I received and would highly recommend Dr Safa and his team.

United States 🇺🇸 Google Review 2026
My name is Nataliia Bogomaz. I am 63. My husband and I came to see Dr. Safa Manav for my surgery five days ago. The procedure included a comprehensive set of plastic surgery procedures: SMAS facelift, upper and lower blepharoplasty; endoscopic brow lift, lipofilling, and liposuction. The surgery went very well. I am currently in the recovery and rehabilitation phase. Even in such a short time, I can say that Dr. Safa Manav is a brilliant doctor with the qualities of a top-tier professional and the talent of an artist-someone who perfectly understands human nature and knows how to achieve excellent results. And his team is brilliant. My recovery is going very well. I want to express my special gratitude to his highly professional team, who work like clockwork with expertise and attention to their clients -deserving of admiration and praise. Fatih, Elif, Buse-you are wonderful. Thank you for being so skilled at your work.

United States 🇺🇸 Trustpilot Review 2026
I travelled to Istanbul on Wednesday 25th February 2026 for a facial fat graft procedure that I had booked with Dr Safa. Dr Safa had previously performed a deep plane face and neck lift, along with a lip lift, upper blepharoplasty and fat transfer for me in October 2025. On both occasions, the experience was outstanding. Dr Safa and his team provided exceptional care throughout. Defne, the Care Coordinator who handled my booking, was very helpful and always available to answer any questions I had. When I arrived in Istanbul, my care was transferred to Elif, who I have to say is incredibly efficient and very knowledgeable. Her English is also very fluent, which was extremely helpful. Nurse Busa and Dr Safa’s other nurse (whose name I unfortunately can’t recall) were both very professional and extremely caring. Dr Safa is an excellent surgeon. He is clearly very passionate about his work and will only perform surgery if he believes the outcome will look natural. He is not the surgeon for you if you are looking for an overdone result.
