December 2025I had a liposuction, sculpting and buttock augmentation procedure. I am very happy with the result at Dr. Al-Khair. I am very happy with everything, even the nurses in the hospital and their treatment from the moment I arrived at the airport until I traveled. I am very happy with you. After 6 months, God willing, I will return and have a nose job and cat eyes. Thank you very much.

June 2025It was our first experience and we were very pleased. We came from Germany for my wife. Doctor İlker Bey is a great person and he takes very good care of his patient and shows how experienced he is with the surgery he performs. Also, Dila Hanım, Havva Hanım and Ercan Bey in the team of the doctor took very good care of him and everything was very good. From now on, there is only one address for us and that is Doctor İlker Manavbaşı.

April 2025I had liposuction surgery at Ilker Hocam, and fat injection was made to my face and breasts. I also had an under-eye lid lift surgery. My surgery was successful. My teacher is a very experienced and successful doctor in Liposuction surgery and Fat injection. Most importantly, first of all, he attaches great importance to the health of the patients. We also see news of patients who died from liposuction surgery. But İlker Hodja will tell you whether you are a suitable patient for Liposuction surgery in the preliminary conversation. In this regard, you can have Liposuction surgery with peace of mind at Ilker Hodja, because he is a surgeon who cares about the health of the patients. I came from my heart to prefer Ilker Hocayi, after seeing his speeches and videos. And I'm glad I chose Ilker Hodja. The voice of my heart did not mislead me. Ilker Hodja also does not deceive people with empty promises. For example, he clearly tells you the surgeries that are not suitable for you. Not every doctor does this. And the most important thing is that the results of the surgery look natural. Ilker Hodja achieves this. I am very pleased with the fat injection. I had a very beautiful, bright, fresh skin. Even tiny wrinkles are not visible. Of course, to maintain this, your lifestyle is also very important. If you eat healthy enough, drink a lot of water, your skin will look very healthy and beautiful after the fat injection. By the way, I decided to inject oil into my face after a dermatologist destroyed my skin with a laser. My skin improved after the oil injection. Choosing a doctor is very important in this regard. I'm glad I chose Ilker Hocami. I wish him a long life with good health. Because our esteemed teacher is necessary for us for many years.

March 2025It was an operation that I had in mind for a long time and as a result of my research, I came to the conclusion that İlker Manavbaşı was the person who would do this job most accurately and reliably. I am on the 6th day of my operation and everything started and is going so well. Both my doctor and his assistants are very successful and caring people. I would like to thank each and every one of them for bringing me to a beautiful image. Greetings and love.
