After breastfeeding, my breasts became smaller and there was a noticeable asymmetry between them. I chose Dr. Ayhan for my breast surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The entire process went very smoothly, and my recovery was much faster than I expected. It has been about one year since the surgery, and I am extremely happy with the results. I have experienced no complications at all and feel much more confident now. I highly recommend him.
As a physician myself, this is a place I come to without any hesitation. From the moment you step into the clinic, you immediately feel safe and well cared for. Both the doctor and the team are extremely attentive, professional, and thorough in their explanations. You can truly feel that even the smallest details are taken into consideration. I am very satisfied with both the process and the results.
I had been feeling insecure about my nose for as long as I can remember, and I also experienced breathing difficulties. After hearing several recommendations, I decided to consult with Ayhan I??k Erdal and ultimately chose to go ahead with the surgery. The whole process was far less painful than I expected, and I’m now incredibly happy with how I look. The result is both beautiful and very natural. I’m truly so happy and sincerely grateful to him.
I recently had masseter Botox treatment performed by Dr. Ayhan I??k Erdal to address my teeth grinding (bruxism), and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, he took the time to explain the procedure in detail, answered all my questions patiently, and made me feel completely at ease. The treatment itself was quick, professional, and almost painless. Within a short time, I noticed a significant reduction in jaw tension and discomfort, and even my sleep quality improved. What impressed me most was Dr. Erdal’s precision and conservative approach — the results look and feel natural, with no negative impact on my facial expression. If you are considering masseter Botox for teeth grinding or jaw pain, I highly recommend Dr. Ayhan I??k Erdal. His expertise, professionalism, and patient-centered care truly set him apart.
I used to feel unhappy with my breasts and would feel sad when summer was approaching. But thanks to Doc. Ayhan, I can now comfortably wear a bikini and walk on the beach with confidence. I’m so glad I did it — thank you so much
He made my experience flawless. He is really kind and professional. Also, his support after the Botox was really helpful. I felt really comfortable before and after. He also continuously checked how I was doing. He provided full support during the experience. In every step, he gave me details to make me feel comfortable. I would suggest him to everybody who wants to or needs to have support from a surgeon
Dr. Ayhan is an excellent plastic surgeon. His expertise and professional approach made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. The procedure he performed for me turned out beautifully, with results beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him.
It was a process I was very satisfied with from start to finish. My doctor was extremely attentive and helped me clearly understand every step with detailed explanations. All of my questions were answered patiently, and all of my concerns were addressed one by one. The result of the procedure looks very natural and exactly how I wanted it to be. Definitely a physician you can choose with confidence.
We met Dr. Isik last year, and I’m honestly really happy that we did. I had some fat tissue removed and a small amount of filler injected into my buttocks. After the surgery, my wound healed very quickly and without any complications. The best part is that I can still contact him whenever I have a question. That’s why I wanted to write this review, because I’m still very satisfied. A great and very experienced doctor!
My surgery went very well. I am very satisfied. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you for your kind feedback. I’m very happy to hear your surgery went well and that you’re satisfied with the result. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. Wishing you all the best and a continued smooth recovery.
