"I Would Choose Turkey Over the UK": A UK Patient’s Comfortable Awake Facelift Journey
I have had surgery back in the UK however I would choose turkey over the UK.
Sarah speaks with a credential most testimonials lack: comparison. She has already had surgery in the UK, so when she says “I would choose Turkey over the UK”, it is a verdict between two lived experiences, not a guess. Two things decided her extensive search in AKM Clinic’s favour — results she found “so natural”, and a surgical approach she could not access at home.
That approach was our awake technique: her Deep Plane Facelift, Temporal Lift and upper eyelid surgery were performed under local anaesthesia rather than a general. Six months on, she reports a recovery “a lot easier” than she anticipated — a single day of painkillers — and a result she sums up as looking “10 years younger”. For British patients weighing the same comparison she made, her video states the case in her own words.
- Procedures: Deep Plane Facelift (under Local Anaesthesia), Temporal Lift, Upper Eyelid Surgery
- Key to Trust: Chose Turkey Over the UK Based on "Natural Results"
- The Experience: An Easier-Than-Expected Recovery (1 Day of Painkillers) & "10 Years Younger"

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!
