Rated 5 out of 5

I had my facelift, neck lift, upper lids, lip lift, and fat grafting with Dr. Safa Manav, and I couldn’t be happier. From the first conversation to the last follow-up, everything felt professional, calm, and organized. Dr. Safa’s work is detailed and natural, and I felt safe in his care from day one. His team is just as impressive. Nurse Burse took such good care of me and made every appointment feel easy. Elif, my coordinator, handled every question quickly and kindly, and Fatih, my salesperson, helped guide me through the entire process with zero pressure and a lot of patience. I tell anyone considering surgery to add him to their research and make sure they feel comfortable with their choice. For me, the deciding factor was how comfortable I felt with the entire team.

About ten years ago, I had a ill-advised lower facelift by an LA surgeon that left me with a wonky ear fold that was so embarrassing…Dr. Manav fixed it and now my ear looks totally normal! I can finally wear my hair back again! Yay! Of course, I’m only a month out and still have a ways to go, but the swelling is going away and I’m already wowed by my results…absolutely thrilled! Dr. Manav is an absolute rock star and a master at his craft. 10/10 would do it again. Highly recommend. (Oh, I randomly met reviewer Tracy S. and her husband while having breakfast in our hotel and can confirm, she looks absolutely stunning. Dr. Manav did great work on both of us!)
