Good experience abroad

I had cosmetic procedure done in August 2023 by Dr Safa Manav. At the time of this review my face was still in the healing process but looks promising for the most part and my arms as well. Dr Manav did my lower face, neck, fat transfer in the temple area, upper lip lift and arms.

Fatih Akgul, his assistant excelled at providing excellent customer service. He arranged the hotel accommodations, transportation and everything in between that I needed in a timely fashion. I’m very grateful to him.

The Mercure hotel is where you want to stay while you recover, it’s delightful.

Be mindful of the fact that the patient’s rooms in the Academic Hospital have no AC and that you will need assistance getting your prescription filled prior to returning to the hotel after your procedure. Consult Fatih, he can give you some guidance.

I went through Vanity Cosmetics for my Rhinoplasty with Dr Safa and I was not let down.

Everything from start to finish was absolutely amazing. He was so understanding and worked with me to achieve the nose that I have dreamed off. Pre op and post op was unstasnijg and the care provided was 100%.

Exceptionally clean and up to a very height standard. I would 100% recommend Dr Safa to anyone that is looking for any cosmetic surgery in Istanbul.

Very very pleased with my outcome.

An experienced surgeon who knows what he’s doing. Great work, friendly man and overall good energy.

If you’re looking for a surgeon to trust I would recommend Dr Safa! (This is also coming from someone who did extensive research and has super high standards).

I am 7 weeks post op after a BA above muscle, 360CC (B to E cup) and I am really happy with now natural my breasts look, and how full they are at the same time. People gasp at the cup size difference when they ask because you can’t tell by looking at them. I’m glad I didn’t end up with breasts that demand attention as that’s not what I was going for.

After my breast implant produre it was a very smooth process for me, I recovered very quickly with minimal pain. My result was exactly how I imagined it to be. I really do recommend Dr Safa Manav.

Amazing Experience!

I went to Istanbul from Sydney for a rhinoplasty that I wanted my whole life! Dr Safar did an excellent job with how I wanted my nose to look! The whole process was very easy and I had an amazing experience during my recovery! Even though my nose is freshly out of the cast and still swollen I am already completely in love with my new nose!

Thank you !

I travelled alone to Istanbul for my surgery with Dr Safa Manav. I had a breast augmentation and upper blepharoplasty to get rid of my unwanted excess skin on my upper eyelids. They were my first surgical procedures and I had a great experience. Dr Safa Manav spoke very good English which made me feel at ease as he understood exactly what I wanted. He was very professional and I would recommend him to anyone considering these procedures. I wanted a natural looking breast enlargement that would suit my body shape without looking too “fake”. Dr Safa Manav has given me exactly what I wanted and asked for and I couldn’t be happier. My recovery went really well, I am currently almost 7 weeks post surgery and I have not had any complications at all, and my recovery was excellent. My upper blepharoplasty healed extremely quickly which I was very happy about, and although it is a small change it has made a big difference to my eye area, I look younger! I would like to thank Dr Safa Manav for giving me the extra confidence!

My Change Process

Motherhood has an immense emotional and physical affect that reflect on our lifestyle and our fashion.
During this period, I had the honor of meeting Dr. Safa Manav who performed my breast surgery . My biggest fear was the healing process and the outcome. I was ecstatic about the flawless outcome. Whatever outfit I tried on, elevated my spirit and boosted my morality. Upon embarking on a journey such as this one, please trust your doctor throughout its
duration.
Thank you Dr Safa Manav from the bottom of my heart.

Rhinoplasty and Breast Augmentation

I had rhinoplasty and breast augmentation with Dr Safa Manav 20 days ago. Not only is this man extremely kind, understanding and compassionate he is also an amazing doctor. Scratch that, he is not a doctor, he is a wizard. I am SO happy with my new nose and breasts. Thank you so much Dr.Safa!

I have been self conscious with my appearance for a long time however i have been postponing getting a surgery. Luckily i have met Dr Safa Manav. He is very kind and reliable. I didn’t think that i would be this satisfied with the results. He performed a surgery including breast augmentation, breast lifting and fat injection. Though it may sound complicated he achieved the best results that i could have wished. So if you are thinking of getting a surgery don’t wait another day and go get a consultation from him. I am sure that you will be as happy as i am. It has been 3 months since my surgery and already i am more confident and my life has honestly changed. I would trust Dr Safa Manav with my eyes closed again:)

Travelled from Sydney to see Dr Safa Manav

I travelled from Sydney, Australia to see Dr Safa Manav for abdominoplasty and rhinoplasty. From the beginning to the end of the journey, Dr Safa Manav, the staff, and team were incredibly professional and very attentive. They organised everything in the package for me including transfers and hotel which was very convenient. They all spoke English which was helpful and I am beyond happy with my results! I would highly recommend dr Safa Manav to everyone! Thank you again!

If you’re thinking of choosing Dr Safa

If you’re thinking of choosing Dr Safa, choose him. Literally the best doctor I could’ve asked for. I got a lift with implant; during our consultation I told him what I wanted and how I wanted a very natural look that suited my body type so I didn't look top heavy. We opted for 300cc and it was the best decision ever. I look amazing and feel so great. He took time in explaining how the procedure would go and made me very comfortable which was extremely important. So grateful for him.

Forever grateful..

I am just a little over 1 week after revision rhinoplasty (secondary rhinoplasty) and I could not be happier. Because I left the reviews about the wholesome expierience on Vanity Estetik page, I will only write in here about Dr Safa Manav. He is very calm, focused and professional doctor, makes you feel confident you are in the right hands as he is confident in his knowledge and his actions. I think the problem I have had with my nose, was quite complex and there was a lot of problems that had to be tackled but as for now, I am overwhelmingly happy with the results, doctor made my dream come true and the effect is even bigger than I thought. He literally changed my life and I would definitely return to him in the future. I also had Blepharoplasty done during the same surgery as an additional procedure and both surgeries were done without complications.

Dr Safa did an amazing job for 3 surgeries. I was given attention to detail at every step from legal, procedure, recovery, expectations etc. The end result is truly spectacular. I have such a high respect for him. I think anyone make or female considering cosmetic procedures in Istanbul should certainly reach out to him! I did otoplasty, rhinoplasty and liposuction in under 5 hours and with fantastic results.
