I recently ( July, 2025) traveled with my sister to Istanbul, Turkey. My sister wanted a face-lift, and did quite a bit of research about WHERE could she get one for less than $30, 000. That is an average price for the NorCal area.
She found Dr. DERYA GUNGOL( so sorry if I spelled it wrong) at DB'Est Clinic, in Istanbul. My sister and the doctor had about 3 face time meetings, and my sister also face timed with the officemanager, Hulya. Hulya is AMAZING and walks you through every step of the way. Their price was $9900.00. This price included everything, hotel, 2 night hospital stay, daily nursing care at hospital ( 5 day stay, included with price). There were NO extra charges ( i.e. Anesthegiologist, transporta from hospital to hotel, private chauffeur picking you up from Airport, and also the return trip. The only extra we paid for was the flight. The hotel room was basically, a one bedroom apartment. Very high end establishment, where all staff ( except mauds) spoke English.
Dr. Derya and Hulya were SO warm and welcoming, and always available for any questions
I, personally, enjoyed living in the neighborhood fir 2 weeks. The Turkish people were really lovely, and those people LOVE their pets! Cats are everywhere, they are fed and watered by the citizens, they are allowed in cafés, restaurants, businesses..etc. They are not afraid ir skittish around us Humans! read more
