I go to gym regularly but couldn’t get definition in abdmen, I wanted, so decided to go for it. Now( 4 months later) it looks natural and defined, not too much. I still need to maintain it of course. Recovery took few weeks, especially swelling, but worth it in the end. Khadija explained everything clearly before gave me all instructions, which helped me decide.

I recently had rhinoplasty

I recently had rhinoplasty, a facelift, and a neck lift at AKM Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very first consultation, everything was explained in a clear and reassuring way. I felt listened to, understood, and confident that I was making the right decision. The entire process was extremely well organized, and I always felt supported. The surgery went smoothly, and the aftercare was truly exceptional. Recovery can be challenging with multiple procedures, but the team made it so much easier with their constant attention and care. Every question I had was answered, and I always felt in safe hands. Even though I’m still in the healing phase, I can already see beautiful, natural results. My face looks fresher, more lifted, and well-balanced, exactly what I was hoping for. A special thank you to my coordinator Emine, who was always there for me, so kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire journey. And also to my aftercare nurse Azime, who took such great care of me every single day and made sure I was comfortable and healing well. I’m truly grateful to the whole AKM Clinic team and would highly recommend them to anyone considering facial procedures.

My surgery was in January

My surgery was in January, and my experience at AKM Clinic has been truly amazing. I had a deep plane facelift, necklift, and upper eyelid surgery. From the very beginning, I felt I was in safe and professional hands. I was quite nervous before the procedure, but everything was explained to me calmly and reassuringly. All my questions were answered with patience, which helped me feel much more relaxed and confident. The care didn’t stop after the surgery; if anything, it became even more impressive. The daily follow-ups were incredibly attentive, and every detail was handled with care to make sure I felt comfortable and secure throughout the recovery process. Even though I had some swelling and bruising (which is completely normal), I can already see beautiful results, and I’m very excited for the final outcome once everything settles. A big thank you to the entire AKM Clinic team. Everyone was kind, professional, and genuinely supportive throughout this journey. I truly felt looked after every step of the way and would highly recommend them to anyone considering a surgery.

Came from London for this and I was pretty nervous before traveling, especially doing something like this abroad. I had a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and a temporal lift with Dr. Akif. Everything was explained properly and I always felt like I knew what was going on, which really helped with the nerves. Still healing but I can already see a very natural result. Nothing looks overdone, which was my main concern. I just look more awake and lifted in a subtle way, and I’m really glad I went through with it.

I had a really positive experience at AKM Clinic from beginning to end. The whole process was smooth, well-organized, and very professional. What stood out to me most was how honest and patient the team was. They took the time to listen to what I wanted, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before moving forward. I had a lower facelift, necklift, and double chin liposuction, which was a quick and straightforward procedure. Even at this stage, I’m already very happy with how things are looking.

The results feel natural and exactly in line with my expectations. One thing I truly appreciated was their approach; there was absolutely no pressure or unnecessary suggestions. They focused only on what suited my needs and goals, which made me trust them even more. After speaking with other places before, this level of honesty and care made a big difference. Overall, I felt supported, informed, and well taken care of throughout the entire journey. I would definitely recommend AKM Clinic to anyone considering a similar procedure.

I had a combination of BBL

I had a combination of BBL, 360 liposuction, and a tummy tuck at AKM Clinic, and I can honestly say it has been a life-changing experience. From the very beginning, everything was planned in such a professional and organized way. The team made me feel comfortable, informed, and supported at every step. I was quite nervous before the surgery, but they took the time to explain everything clearly, which really helped me relax. The procedure itself went smoothly, and the care I received afterward was exceptional. The medical team checked on me regularly and made sure I was healing properly and comfortably. Recovery is definitely a process with these procedures, but I felt well-guided the entire time. Even though I still have some swelling, I can already see a huge difference in my body shape. My waist is more defined, my abdomen is much flatter, and the overall contour looks so much more balanced and feminine. The results look natural and exactly what I was hoping for. What I appreciated most was the honesty and professionalism of the team; there was no pressure, just genuine care and attention to my goals. I’m so happy I chose AKM Clinic and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering body contouring procedures. I’m excited to see my final results as the healing continues.

As a man

As a man, I was honestly a bit nervous about getting a facelift. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I was worried about looking unnatural or overdone. But I can confidently say that the results are incredible. My face looks refreshed, natural, and exactly how I wanted it. From the very beginning, the entire process was professional and reassuring. The hotel was clean and cozy, which really helped me relax before and after the procedure. Every detail was taken care of, making my stay stress-free and enjoyable. Overall, as a man who was initially apprehensive, I can say this was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The results are fantastic, the service was top-notch, and I felt completely supported every step of the way. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone, male or female, considering a facelift.

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE

I will file a compensation lawsuit.

yüzümdeki damarları yaktırma, dolgu ve botox işlemleri yaptırdım. dolgu ve botox'tan memnun kaldım ama damarlarımı yakarken meğersem damarlarımı patlamışlar. aylardır yüzüm perişan halde asla ama asla düzelmiyor. damar yaktırma için kesinlikle gitmeyin yüzünüz mahvolur hem paranızdan hem yüzünüzden olursunuz kesinlikle önermiyorum!

I had procedures to cauterize the veins in my face, as well as fillers and Botox. I was happy with the fillers and Botox, but it turns out they burst my veins while cauterizing them. My face has been in a terrible state for months and it's not getting any better. Absolutely do not go for vein cauterization; your face will be ruined, you'll lose both your money and your face. I definitely do not recommend it!

Deep plane facelift, neck lift and Blepharoplasty

We underwent a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and upper blepharoplasty at AKM. Our coordinator, Emine, was incredibly resourceful, answering all of our questions thoroughly before and after the procedure. Her presence and attentiveness during our time in Istanbul made a significant difference.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my surgeons, Dr. Goknil and Dr. Mehdi, for the outstanding work they did on our procedures. We are now six days post-surgery and, while we still have some swelling, we are excited about the amazing outcome we can expect.

I also want to highlight Memit, our driver, who provided unwavering support and demonstrated kindness throughout our journey.

Warning- we are suffering since 7 years because of him

Warning – This doctor is dangerous and operates under a false identity.

Due to ongoing legal action against him, we have confirmed that he is not using his real name. His actual name is Akif Mahmadov - he says is turkish and uses a turkish name. This deception alone should be a major red flag.

In 2018, he injected us with a substance he claimed was hyaluronic acid. He assured us it would dissolve within five years. That was a lie. Years later, we discovered he had used a biopolymer — a substance that was already banned at the time. We also found out that he didn’t even obtain it from a registered medical supplier. To this day, we don’t know what exactly he put into our bodies.

He is not officially registered or authorized to perform these kinds of procedures in Turkey. Several legal cases are currently underway against him.

What followed for us was years of physical and emotional suffering, countless medical complications, and in my case, life-threatening inflammation. This man has caused irreparable harm for money, with no sense of responsibility or remorse. And we are not his only victims.

Let this be a clear warning: Stay away. This man is a liar who will put your health and life at risk for his own profit.

I dont know if he even really is a Dr. Be Careful!

WE ENCOURAGE A CAREFUL READING OF OUR RESPONSE, AS IT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATES THAT THE CLAIMS MADE ARE UNFOUNDED, MALICIOUS, AND ENTIRELY FALSE.

1. First, we would like to clarify that holding dual citizenship and using a different surname is not a crime — it is a legal right. You currently reside in Germany and use the name Berry Stietzel (your legal name being Berivan Tekin). This is perfectly acceptable. The situation you’ve described is entirely normal. However, we ask you to refrain from using offensive and discriminatory language, such remarks are not only inappropriate but may also be considered hate speech and a form of racism.

2. All diplomas and certifications held by our doctor are 100% authentic. Suggesting otherwise is a baseless and harmful accusation. These documents are available for review at our clinic, and we are happy to share them with anyone who requests. Furthermore, all credentials are verifiable through the official Ministry of Health Doctor Information Database. Your claims are untrue and misleading.

3. You were treated by our doctor 8 years ago at a different medical institution. The product used at the time, was a CE-certified, Ministry of Health-approved Hydrophilic Gel manufactured in the Czech Republic. No biopolymers or unapproved substances were used. We have full documentation and invoices confirming this.

4. If there were any issues related to your procedure, the appropriate course of action would have been to contact the doctor within a reasonable timeframe. Eight years have passed, during which you made no attempt to raise any concern. The timing and tone of your comment indicate a personal motive intended to damage doctor’s reputation. The treatment was performed in accordance with medical standards, and the product used was officially approved.

5. Furthermore, your complaint has already been the subject of three separate investigations — by the Turkish Medical Association (TTB), the Ministry of Health of Türkiye, and the Consumer Court. Two of these investigations have concluded, and both Ministry of Health and Turkish Medical Association have found the doctor to be entirely in the right, confirming that no malpractice occurred. The Consumer Court case remains ongoing.

6. Lastly, we are curious as to why you wrote your comment in English, despite being fluent in Turkish. This choice appears intentional, aimed at misleading international patients and defame doctor’s image. A genuine concern would typically be expressed in your native language. Writing in English in this context suggests a deliberate attempt to create confusion and spread misinformation.

We stand by the integrity and transparency of our clinic, and we remain committed to providing ethical and high-quality care to all patients.

You can be confident in Dr. Akiff’s skills. He’s amazing!

I flew from the USA and I am very happy in my decision. Dr. Akiff is very skillful. I had a DP face and neck, temporal, and upper bleph. I’m one month post op and looking and feeling wonderful. I’m very happy with my results. Emine takes exceptional care of you. She orchestrates everything seamlessly. They provide a beautiful hotel and all transportation during your stay. They also provide the hyperbaric chamber after surgery for quicker healing. I’m already back to running and went back to work after 1 week. I highly recommend Dr. Akiff.

I visited AKM Clinic from Manchester for a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and upper eyelid surgery. This was a major decision for me, but my consultant, Hande, was reassuring and knowledgeable from the very start. Every detail—from airport pick-up to the comfortable hotel—was meticulously handled. Now, 6 months post-procedure, the results speak volumes my face looks naturally youthful without any trace of artificiality. Friends and family are amazed by how revitalized I look, yet they can’t pinpoint exactly why! I’m deeply thankful for the clinic’s expert surgeons, professional staff, and especially Emine, who supported me consistently. AKM Clinic truly delivered world-class care, and I couldn’t recommend them enough for anyone seeking aesthetic procedures abroad.
