I traveled to Turkey for plastic…
I traveled to Turkey for plastic surgery after finding Dr. Tuğçe Yasak Par through Instagram. Before making my decision, I did a lot of research through Google reviews, Facebook groups, and consultations with multiple surgeons. I ended up consulting with 5 doctors before choosing her.
One thing that made me feel more comfortable was that she’s a female surgeon. As a Black woman, I was initially nervous because I didn’t really see many Black patients featured on her page, but after our virtual consultation, I felt like Dr. Tuğçe Yasak Par understood what I wanted and the type of results I was looking for.
I had a tummy tuck, liposuction, arm lift (brachioplasty), and breast lift/reduction. I’m currently only 8 days post-op, so I’m still early in recovery and definitely still swollen, but overall I’m happy with my results so far and I can already tell she did a great job.
Communication through WhatsApp was also really good throughout the process. They were responsive, answered my questions, and overall everyone was kind to me. The hotel staff was also very sweet and accommodating. They understood I had surgery and were always helpful when needed.
The nurse that came for aftercare was also very kind and reassuring during recovery.
The only thing I would strongly recommend to anyone is: do not travel alone if you are doing multiple procedures, especially arm surgery. That is honestly my biggest regret. Recovery is very difficult physically, and there were moments where I really needed assistance throughout the day.
Another challenge for me personally was the compression garments. I really struggled with them during recovery. I feel like there should be more options for different body types because I’m smaller on top and bigger on the bottom, and the garments caused me a lot of discomfort and unnecessary pain while healing. That was honestly the hardest part of recovery for me so far.
The driver was also always late, which was frustrating at times, but he was very sweet and respectful overall.
Even with the challenges of recovery, I do believe Dr. Tuğçe Yasak Par is a talented surgeon and I’m happy with my decision overall. I’m excited to continue healing and see my final results.
