"I Would Choose Turkey Over the UK": A UK Patient's "Painless" Awake Facelift Journey

"I have had surgery back in the UK however I would choose turkey over the UK."

Sarah’s journey from the UK was not a guess; it was a deliberate, comparative analysis. As a discerning patient who has already undergone surgery back in the UK, her standards for E-E-A-T (Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) were exceptionally high. Her extensive research led her to AKM Clinic for two primary reasons: first, the “so natural” results she observed, which perfectly matched her goal of looking “refreshed,” not “done.” Second, the confirmation that our surgeons are “board certified,” providing a level of professional assurance she demanded. This evidence-based approach gave her the confidence to choose Turkey over her home country’s options—a decision she now “100%” endorses.

Now six months post-procedure, Sarah’s results are a powerful testament to our surgical philosophy. Her Deep Plane Facelift (along with a Temporal Lift and Upper Eyelid Surgery) was performed under local anesthesia – our advanced “Awake” technique. She describes her recovery as “a lot easier” than she ever anticipated, emphasizing that the process “didn’t hurt whatsoever.” In fact, she “only took painkillers for probably one day.” This pain-free recovery is a direct result of our minimally invasive, expert-led approach. Today, she is “over the moon” with her “absolutely amazing” outcome: her scars have “already healed,” and she looks exactly as she’d hoped—like herself, just “probably about 10 years ago.”

Had a deep plane facelift and lower eyelid procedure at AKM Clinic 7 months ago. The results are fantastic - very subtle and natural. I didn’t expect the entire experience to be so comfortable. Hande managed everything and kept in contact even after I returned to USA. I’m beyond pleased with the outcome and the care I received. Would do it again in a heartbeat!
