Highly Recommend!!
I completed the one on Real Self.....this is what I wrote:
My experience at Vanity was really wonderful!! From the very beginning, Gizem Oslu, the billing and procedure coordinator, was so kind, patient, thorough, and supportive. We stayed in constant contact right up to the day of my procedures. At that time, Berfin Alagos, the patient coordinator, took over as liaison. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and always kind and patient when answering any of my many questions.
Dr. Baris performed all of my procedures, and he was also very detailed, thorough, patient, and kind. I was very happy with the final results.
I also had dental work performed to try and correct or relieve my severe TMJ. Dr. Beril was an extremely thorough doctor and has an outstanding staff working with her. Today, I no longer have any TMJ issues thanks to Dr. Beril.
Vanity housed us at Mercure Hotel, and the staff were very attentive and helpful post surgeries.
I had to get lymphatic drain massages post-surgery, and Vanity set everything up for me. Burak, the massage therapist, was very skilled in his craft, and helped speed up my recovery process.
I don't know all of the names of the excellent staff, such as, hotel staff, transport (drivers), healthcare and hospital workers that assisted me during my stay, but they all deserve to be acknowledged for their dedication to providing superior service. Thank you!!
I’m Mr.MESA.I almost died in Vanity
PICS AVAILABLE ON TWITTER X .I almost died in Vanity Estetik Hospital due Negligence by the hands of Butcher Baris Kanik HIS HANDS ARE HARAM and the team of nurses of the 4th floor room 401.Supposedly to get a neck lift and upper-lower blepharoplasty,the surgery day was scheduled at 11:00 which took place at 15:00,Upon realizing KANIK was running behind I asked the front desk nurses what was happening,they responded that the 7AM patient before me under KANIK was having complications, that is when the nightmare took place.At 15pm they took me into the surgery room. Scheduled for 4 hours took 6 hours of full negligence,then when the nurse came to apply the antibiotic on my eyes pushed the eyeball with the tip rupturing the small vessels and capillaries on the white part of my right eye, later I requested help to get to the bathroom they didn't even bother to help me out to stand so the let me fall right on the floor,hitting my head straight on the floor passing out due a vagal syncope,they were lost as to how to proceed in an emergency like this, certainly THEY ARE NOT PROFESSIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS KIND OF EMERGENCY. No one even bothered to help me out til PARAMEDICS showed up and decided to remove me from the VANITY PREMISES (smart move from Vanity not to be liable for my death ,if I‘d died I would have died LEGALLY somewhere else out of Vanity)A whole team of useless nurses that even couldn't find my veins to apply some hydration poking me multiple times.I was RUSHED OUT to the ACADEMIC HOSPITAL 20 min away to let me die there once removed from Vanity ,then they sent a"self proclaimed"nurse just to verbally sign documents , disclaimers & waivers where they will not be liable for anything so they can wash their hands and walk away from their negligence.Ayse was nothing but a translator that has no degree or background in the medical field with the sole purpose of pushing me with legalities and useless talk ,as the second day went by I realized my lower eyelids were surgically accessed from the outside eyeline right below the eyelashes, when we had pre discussed it had to be from the inside only, now I have terrible asymmetrical scars with ECTROPION DISPLACEMENT,on top of that the clumsy hands of Baris dropped the electric cauterizer on my Face & Neck twice, the burn created a 8 mm wide tunnel orifice that connects the inside of the internal eyelid with the external skin, now I have a massive crater hole under my right eyelid and neck(see pics and judge by yourself)during communication with Baris ,he ACKNOWLEDGED the DESTRUCTION of the skin and internal tissues,response:"keep using cream "just like that, in regards my neck the disfiguration and massacre of the back of my neck is imminent ,this was out of his hands & control so he RUSHED to stitch all the surgical flaps and edges irregularly overcorrecting it passing the blame on me claiming "I had too much skin”,wasn't he supposedly there to fix it? ACKNOWLEDGING "it will need further revision".After contacting them via whatsapp Ayse decided to STOP communication,when I asked details IN WRITING of the revision and if they were going to be $ responsible for it They STOPPED.On Other NOTE by further investigation the Turkish Ministry of Health has recorded previous malpractice complaints in regards Vanity ( who has been practicing in Vanity Clinic only for a month) in connection with the lack of professionalism and former similar cases of malpractice previously occurred in this Clinic.Case are not given to Public but here are a few Case 8472 8255 USHAS Uluslararasi Saglik Hizmetleri , CALL International Health Services Call Center 24/7 908502883838 THOSE OTHER CASES WERE PROVIDED BY OTHER TURKISH CLINICS to me who WARNED me in regards Vanity. CAUTION: STAY AWAY FROM THIS SLAUGHTER HOUSE ! LATER ON THEY STOPPED ANY COMMUNICATION WITH ME AND DELETED ALL DOCUMENTS & FORMER CORRESPONDENCE VIA WHATSAPP. SHOWING FACTUAL PICS NO BASELESS OPINIONS.Clinic is HARAM ! He’s a complete Insult for this field making look bad other Turkish Doctors.Pics available on Twitter X,Reconsider.

He make me feel comfortable and safe
The dr. Baris made my experience calm and tranquility. I trusted him and he gave me the security about my expectations and help me to chose the best for myself. It was my first surgery I know is really important to trust in your doctor, and he make me feel comfortable, safe and work on the best results to me. I’m happy and I truly recommend it.
Tummy Tuck, Lipo 360 and BBL
I had my tummy tuck, BBL, and 360 lipo with Doctor Barış Kanık and I’m so glad I had him as my surgeon. From the very first consultation, he took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident, reassured, and completely comfortable with the whole process. He is professional, skilled, and approachable, which made it easy to trust him with such a big decision.
Throughout the entire experience, I felt that I was in safe hands. He listened to my concerns, understood the results I was hoping for, and delivered them in a way that looks natural and beautiful. His attention to detail and the level of care he provided really stood out to me.
My recovery has been going well, and I’m already so happy with the changes I can see. I truly feel like I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better surgeon. I’d recommend Dr. Barış Kanık to anyone considering surgery – his expertise, professionalism, and patient care are outstanding.
My first surgery experience at Vanity…
My first surgery experience at Vanity with Dr. Baris was truly exceptional. His professionalism, care, and attentiveness were outstanding from the consultation to post-surgery. Although the post-surgery response team wasn’t as proactive as I had hoped, efforts were made to improve that. I am thrilled with my breast size and truly value his advice, which helped me achieve a better result.
I could recommend
The surgeon is really easy to talk to…
The surgeon is really easy to talk to very friendly and explains everything in details. I had my full confidence and trust in his procedure and ritenow I’m enjoying the fruits of his labor
Dr Baris is fantastic
I had my surgery on the 23rd of August and Dr Baris was amazing, I cant fault him and I'm super happy I chose to go through vanity as he couldn't have been any kinder and genuinely cared about my results. He reassured me from the consultation till the last check up. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks again :)
Great Doctor!
Dr. Baris is an outstanding doctor. He combines great professionalism with genuine care, making me feel comfortable and confident throughout my treatment. His expertise and calm approach gave me a lot of trust, and I’m very grateful for his excellent care.
Dr Bariş Kanık - Amazing Doctor
I had my surgery on the 18th of August and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.
My journey started with Umut, the sales coordinator. He was incredibly patient and answered all of my endless questions without ever making me feel like a burden. Travelling alone for surgery was daunting, but he made sure every detail was taken care of and that I felt supported from the very beginning.
Choosing a surgeon in Istanbul can feel overwhelming with so many options, and I was initially unsure. However, I can confidently say that picking Dr. Barış was the best decision I made. From our first meeting, he was warm, caring, and professional. He took the time to explain the different surgical options available and gave me honest, thoughtful advice. I trusted his professional opinion and felt completely reassured.
After surgery, Dr. Barış personally checked on me to ensure I was comfortable, and again the following day before I was discharged. That level of care really made a difference.
The whole team at Vanity Hospital were fantastic. A special thanks goes to Emre, my surgery and aftercare coordinator, who was attentive and supportive throughout the process.
I would highly recommend Dr. Barış and his team. The clinic is extremely well-run, the staff are professional and caring, and you can feel confident knowing you are in safe hands.
Highly Recommended Surgeon
I had breast surgery with Dr. Baris Kanik and I am truly grateful for the whole experience. He gave me all the time and attention I needed during the consultation and answered every question with patience and care. On the day of surgery, he even came by late in the evening just to check on me, which deeply touched both me and my husband. This kind of dedication shows true compassion and responsibility for his patients. Even after I returned home, he remained available for any questions or concerns. I couldn’t be happier with my results – thank you, Dr. Kanik!
He is excellent as a Doctor and a person. At first I was not sure if Dr Baris…
At first I was not sure if Dr Baris could handle my case well as I didn’t see a lot of similar patients on his Instagram. Turns out he is very very brilliant, just not as Instagram-y. He attended so well to my peculiar case, doing his home work, remembering every detail and suggesting the best procedures and methods so I could achieve the best outcomes for my body type and body goals while minimising any risks. Today is one day post op and when the nurses came to change my dressing I was thrilled at my results. There is still swelling of course but I can see the outline of my new shape. I had belly and waist lipo, and with my medical history including three abdominal surgeries in the past, I am so excited and thankful to Dr Baris. He is very attentive, very experienced and thorough and does his absolute best for his patients. I am beyond impressed.
