Extremely distressing experience – multiple surgeries, no improvement, photos used without consent
I am writing this review to warn others and to share my genuine experience with Doç. Dr. Andaç Aykan and his clinic in Istanbul.
I travelled to Turkey and paid a total of £9000 for multiple facial procedures including endoscopic temporal lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat transfer and related procedures. I was promised clear improvements and a more lifted, defined result.
Unfortunately, after five surgeries, there has been no visible improvement. Other qualified doctors have since reviewed my case and confirmed that the expected surgical changes are not present.
When I raised my concerns, the clinic became defensive, stopped engaging properly and ultimately refused any refund or corrective action. Their only response was that the “treatment was completed as required”.
To make matters worse, my before/after photos were posted on their social media without my consent, despite me clearly stating that I did not agree to my images being shared. When I confronted them, I was told they “liked the result and wanted to show it”.
I later travelled to Istanbul to request my medical records in person. Instead of cooperating, the clinic called the police and had me removed.
I have since been blocked from their platforms and my negative reviews and comments were removed.
This experience has caused me significant emotional distress, financial hardship and loss of confidence. I took out a loan to pay for these surgeries and am now left with debt and no improvement.
I strongly advise anyone considering this clinic to do very thorough independent research and seek multiple opinions before proceeding.
I am happy to provide evidence of payments, messages and medical opinions to any platform that requires verification.
