A 4-Year Global Search: Why an "Expert Patient" from the USA Chose AKM Clinic
I actually look like nothing happened but probably 20 years younger.
Barbara is what you might call an expert patient: her surgery at AKM Clinic was her tenth or eleventh procedure, and she vetted clinics for four years — across Mexico, Germany, Norway and beyond — before choosing Istanbul. When a patient with that history and that shortlist picks a clinic, the choice itself is the credential.
What she found exceeded the brief: proactive care in “perfect English”, pre-operative instructions covering details she “wouldn’t even have thought about”, reassurance calls placed to her husband, and — the detail she mentions with a smile — homemade soup during recovery. Her verdict on the surgery itself is the one every deep plane candidate wants to hear: “I actually look like nothing happened — but probably 20 years younger.””
- Procedures: Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, Upper Eyelid Surgery
- Key to Trust: 4-Year Global Research (Her 10th+ Procedure)
- The Experience: A "Fabulous" Result, a Comfortable Recovery & "Homemade Soup" Care

I had a face, neck and arm lift at AKM. I’m just over 4 weeks post and couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire experience was wonderful! My coordinator, Khadija made me feel comfortable from beginning to end! I highly recommend AKM and will definitely go back for other procedures!

I am beyond grateful I went with AKM Clinic for my deep plane face and neck lift, upper eyelid, and co2 laser. Dr. Akif has magic hands and my results are truly incredible! I came from the US and assistant Emine was the best in assuring every detail was coordinated and communicated with me beyond my expectations every step of the way. 10 out of 10 to the entire team! I couldn’t be more pleased!
