Prof. Dr. Yavuz Başterzi's Patient Reviews

Hear what Dr Yavuz’s patients have to say:

S. P.★★★★★Dr. Yavuz calmness is contagious.

It’s the 7th day after my breast lift and tummy tuck surgery, and I can already clearly see the amazing results. I was afraid I would feel pain, but I didn’t experience any at all. Dr. Yavuz calmness is contagious. He is not only a gift from God but also a very good human being. He made my dream come true. He was the first person I saw when I opened up my eyes after the operation. I can't thank him enough I love him so much 🤍

C. R.★★★★★I'm very satisfied with my breast operation!

I would like to thank Dr. Yavuz and the staff who took care of me. The doctor has a very nice personality and he explained everything to me in detail. I'm very satisfied with my breast operation and I would recommend it!

H. H.★★★★★I would only ever trust Dr. Yavuz now!

I had a breast uplift with implants and liposuction. I was so scared of anaesthetic but honestly I would only ever trust Dr. Yavuz now. He is so kind and caring and has such a lovely calming nature and he has done a fantastic job! If anyone is thinking to do surgery with him, you will not regret it! He has been the best!

U. S.★★★★★I only wish I had met him sooner!

I underwent gynecomastia and liposuction surgery with Dr. Yavuz last month. His pre-operative care, approach to patients, and post-operative results were all excellent. I only wish I had met him sooner. Thank you doctor!

H. P.★★★★★It truly feels like I’ve been given a second life.

I’m extremely happy with my results. Thank you so much for everything, it truly feels like I’ve been given a second life. Thank you to the doctor and all the staff for your care and support!
