Use of FDA or CE cleared medical devices
Surgery performed in Harvard Medical School Affiliated Hospital in Istanbul
Anesthesia protocols aligned with ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) guidelines
Post-operative recovery and infection control protocols aligned with CDC healthcare guidelines.
Use of medicines authorized by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

The result is treatment aligned with U.S. and European medical expectations, delivered in Turkey with greater cost efficiency. This is why physicians from the United States also travel to Turkey to seek treatment with Dr. Safa Manav, based on his surgical approach, planning methodology, and experience with international patients.

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.

Dr. Safa Manav is an incredibly talented surgeon with excellent English skills, who listened to my concerns and delivered exactly what I was looking for. I am beyond thrilled with the results of my cosmetic surgery. I feel more confident and beautiful than ever before. Thank you to the entire team for making my experience so positive. I would not hesitate to return to Istanbul for future procedures with Dr. Safa Manav. Highly recommend!

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!)
