Dr. Yunus Dogan M.D. Avis 

I was seriously considering booking with this surgeon, but after joining a WhatsApp support group and reading about other patients’ experiences, I completely changed my mind.
I came across multiple women discussing concerns about needing revision surgery because of uneven breast results and feeling that insufficient liposuction had been performed. Reading those experiences made me question whether this was the right clinic for me.
What disturbed me even more was seeing another patient’s ongoing struggle to obtain a refund of her deposit. From what I saw, she said she cancelled within the timeframe set out in the clinic’s policy, yet her refund was repeatedly delayed before ultimately being refused. She also claimed she was threatened with legal action if she posted a negative review. If that is how patients are treated when things go wrong, it raises serious concerns about the clinic’s professionalism and customer care.
I was also concerned by discussions in the group alleging that the surgeon operates on two patients at roughly the same time. Whether or not that is standard practice, it was enough to make me uncomfortable and decide to look elsewhere.

I had my mummy make over (360 lipo, extended tummy tuc, mini bbl, arm lift). Communication from the beginning with a consultant called Jason was quick and effective until he handed my case to a lady called Mia. This was the beginning of my nightmare. When I arrived, the pickup was smooth, driver ikmet was amazing and he played a recorded welcome message in the vehicle and supported me throughout my arrival and blood test process and took me to the hotel Wanda. That was another nightmare. A review for another day. Just tell them you do not want this hotel as they will add to your stress. I went back to the hospital the next day, I met Dr Yunus who did his usual drawing. He was very experienced and definitely knows his stuffs. I felt listened to and he made his recommendations. Surgery went well. BHT hospital staffs were all amazing. They make you smile even when you are in excruciating pain. This makes you to forget language barriers. Then begin the nightmare with my consultant who overcharged me extra £50 until I realised and asked for the money back. I did not have proper notification before discharge from hospital to hotel. I was rushed and in pain, have to start parking my stuffs from the hospital. At this time, I have not seen my consultant. However a lovely person (Jamie) came to see me on the ward with some protein pancake and protein drink for recovery. She was amazing and stepped in for my consultant. I only saw her once and did not have consistency with consultant until I left Istanbul. The Wanda hotel is another nightmare. Only one lift sometimes serving 34 floors, hotel was dirty and the staffs are not very nice people. I asked for pots and plates when I arrived and they never brought it though out the 7 days I spent in the hotel. I got tired of asking and I had to use takeaway foil to cook. The after care when you are discharged from hospital to hotel is zero. There is no 24hours nurse care as stated. Your consultant will suddenly ghost you once you have paid. If you are going to have procedures with this company, just request for Jason, Aldon or don’t bother because all the other consultants are there for your money and once you pay your deposit that’s when they start to ghost you. Dr Yunus medical team are amazing and I remember Annena who removed my drain. She was such a wonderful and caring nurse. Ozman and sublah were also amazing, , Murat , Gamzeh, damyah are those that may make me come back to yunus. However if I should come back for further procedure, my consultant must be either Jason or Aldone and if not, I’ll go with other company. Everyone else, Ezra, Yasmin, Kim are all about your money. It’s very sad they couldn’t care less. Despite my ordeal, up until this moment, they still did not deem it fit to apologise. Even with my hotel, they knew I was staying longer due to issue with my blood and having to stay longer, they did not contact hotel to extend my stay. The hotel were calling me asking what time u will check out. I also have to book and pay for my extra nights. Maybe if I have been with Jason or Aldon, my experience would have been different. Aldon was the guy that net me when I went back to hospital and he stayed with me throughout my blood test and until he finished his day. This is what consultant should be like to give you reassurance. Since my return back to UK, my communication had been with Jason who is super responsive and supportive with my after care. I think I get better after care response and he will respond to messages within 5 minutes. Thank you so much to those that have made my experience remarkable and those that have added to my pain should go and train on ethic of care. Dr Yunus is amazing and I am happy with my result. He comes to the ward to check on his patients every day and he is also a good listener. I will definitely use him again for future procedure but maybe through another company.
There is also a support group run by a lady called Ess. I mentioned to the team that they should probably employ her because she is providing supports to those who have issues. However, her advice is from experience and she is not medically trained but most people have found her advice and support helpful including myself.
