Revitalize in Turkey review: Dangerous surgery 44

This is to inform to all third party visitors to this online platform that, there's no record of any complaint that we have received from any of our patients had breast augmentation and uplift operations at our clinic to date. It is against the policy of our company to ignore any patients' complaints under any circumstances. All cosmetic surgery operations could involve risk of complications, however we endavour to minimize the occurance of these complications by taking all relevant precautions and aim to increase patient awareness by promoting to the goal of making an informed decision. There are number of action plans that are put into effect to deal with different cases of complications, that might even involve performing a free corrective procedure, which would normally be offered to patient with a similar complaint. Due the absence of any record to authenticate the complaint above, we believe that the intentions of the complainant could be to denigrate our clinical practices. We welcome all readers of this website to find more about our clinic and our clinical practices from different online social platforms, and urge them to verify the reviews by directly getting in contact with the patient. Thank you.

Surgical complications and patient satisfaction are two different things. We aim to achieve the highest level of patient satisfaction to the best of our ability, and at the same time we perform our operations with the most risk free way. However, any problem to do with patients' poor skin elasticity, aging factors, might stand on our way to obtain high level of patient satisfaction. Altough most of our patients are made aware of predictable results of our operations, it might equally be difficult to make predictions with certain group of patients who might not be able to respond perfectly to an operation, physiologically. In the event that the patient has any dissatisfaction about the aesthetic results of the operation, we have our action plans in place to offer our patients free revisionary operation to address their problems. We have had patients who had received revisionary operations at our clinic to further improve their results. We take all complaints seriously and respond to the complainant with a professional deminour to provide them with an action plan to resolve their problems.

We do not have any records of this patient to have this operation at our clinic.

We do not have any record of this patient having surgery done at our clinic. She might be mixing us up with another clinic.

Neither us, nor our surgeons have the record of carrying out surgery on a patient with this name. She must be mixing us up with some other clinic. Also, looking at the other comments of this patient, she claims she has had a facelift and breast surgery, which we do not perform together to prevent our patients from developing serious complications.

As stated in the other replies, we discuss the limitations caused by the patient's anatomy in the consultation before the surgery. All our patients undergo the surgery by their will, acknowledging these limitations. However, without knowing the patient's identity, it is not possible for us to make a clear statement in our defense.

We only perform multiple surgeries if they are minor ones, or are adaptable ones like breast implants and uplift. In case our patients inquire about multiple operations that will cause them to be immobile for a long period after the surgery, which increases the risk of developing complications, we guide them to have the operations done separately, at at least 6 months intervals, which is generally enough for them to recover fully. The safety and health of our patients are of great importance to us and we follow our safety guidelines with every single patient to prevent any unwelcome situations and help them recover easily with good results.

We kindly ask the complainant above to provide us with her name and last name to be able to fullfill our responsibility to shed impartial, unbiased information to be supported by clinical evidence in the form of visual and print material as we are confident to have followed the right path of resolution scheme to all patients with any complaint by not witholding them the option to have corrective/revison operation(s) where necessary, we believe any information lacking any evidence would result in online viewers’ misjuding the full portrait of the situation, so we stand firm on our call for sharing all the documentation and visual evidence with the online audience for a due impartial judgement. Thanks

Before performing the surgery, our surgeons do a scratch test on all the patients to see if they show any allergic reactions to the components of antibiotics that are going to be used during and after the surgery. Also, we have checked our records, which show that the antibiotic tablets that you have been administered are non-penicilin derivatives. We endeavor to give strong antibiotics to prevent the risk of infection. Strong antibiotics might sometimes cause sicknesses, which are not very high-scale. Sickness and retching are one of the known side effects of the antibiotics. So, we believe the problems you have had could be associated with the antibiotic you have been administered.

The result of any surgical procedure depends on the patient's what is possible to be achieved within the patient's limits of anatomical properties. Which is being fully highlighted to our patients before we take them on board for their operations, and patiently accept to undergo any procedure by acknowledging any limitations, if there are any. We have followed the same guideline with Kat. However, this was not expressed or identified to our patient the way she stated in her review.

Before undergoing the surgery, our patients have a consultation where they discuss their expectations and the limitations of the surgery with the surgeon. Once they agree, they sign our contract and liabilities form whereby they accept having the surgery. If there is a state of dissatisfaction, regarding our guidelines, we first check our consultation notes and before & after photos of the patient to see if we have been able to meet the results we promised to the patient at the consultation. If we haven't, we offer our patients a free revision surgery if they contact us within 12 months, where they only need to pay for the theatre fee and accommodation (and PCR test since the pandemic started). In Peter's case, regarding our notes, we have already met the results we promised and when he contacted us it had been more than 12 months already. Even though we do our best to help our patients for them to have the look they desire, it is difficult to achieve that with non-cooperative patients.

We respect your decision; however, as a part of responsibility to enlighten any other viewers & visitors of this platform, we feel like we have to shed light on certain facts. Unfortunately, plastic surgery and beauty industry has a nature to attract diverse group of patients whose exceptions sometimes might not concur with what's medically attainable and whose awareness and understanding of what the plastic surgery and the recovery entail could be rather limited and tenuous. We endeavor to manage patients's expectations and provide a full description of what the after-care & predicted result and possible disadvantages; patients normally accept to undergo the surgery within the light of the information given to them; however we find it quite upsetting to be hauled over the coals as we believe that we take every step possible to fulfill our clinical obligations, not only by feeding our patients with after-care instructions but at the same time offering them corrective/ revision operations where possible. We regret to highlight that most of the complaints arise due to patients expectations not being realistic, or patient's lack of understanding about what the recovery could entail. We have had thousands of patients who had tummy tuck and breast uplift operation at our clinic in 17 yrs, probably more than any other clinic in Turkey. Fortunately, there weren't any patient who had any major complications so far, the fact that the scar revisions and minor revisions have been performed infrequently is a testament to the fact that not only we abide by our responsibility to fulfill our clinical obligations to the full without dismissing any of their claims; we also deliver a thorough after-care which has proved to be effective as the revision cases are very limited.

In our defense, we would like to clarify that our prices are set prices and are the same for everyone. If something is discussed during the consultation before the surgery and there is a need for a change in the operation package, the gets informed on the new price and proceeds with the procedure considering it.

As the identity of the person who made this comment is not clear, we cannot provide any specific details, but the policy is the same for everyone.

This is to inform that our surgeon has engaged in corresponding with Ms Bronagh non-stop for almost 2 months post-operatively himself almost day and night to support her during the intitial phase of recovery. (Screen-shots of the whole conversation and patient's before and after' photos to prove our point). Patient's claim about the after-care and support are completely ungrounded - she is booked to stay for 10 nights after having the operation with us, and it was our surgeon following her up 2 months none-stop after she got back to Belfast. Despite our gracious efforts to provide her support all throughout her recovery, we have been confronted with blackmailing campaign launched by the patient for no reason (all the evidences could be shared with the public upon request in addition to 'before and after' photos to refute patient's claims about her operation being is a faulty one).Patient incessantly demanded us to pay her flights when her breasts were all healed up; with no reason to fly back to clinic for any medical intervention. It is quite unfortunate for all this to happen when we have done our best to guide Ms Bronagh through the initial phase of her recovery.
