Correction after a failed surgery

My acquaintance with Dr. Arif happened after an unsuccessful experience with another doctor. He corrected the mistakes and gave me a new appearance. I am very grateful to him and Mrs. Birgül for their help. I will only undergo future plastic surgeries with them.

Breast reconstruction after cancer treatment

Dr. Arif performed my breast reconstruction surgery, which was part of my cancer treatment. The post-treatment support was excellent. I am still getting calls about my condition a month after the surgery. The silicone looks great. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Mastectomy and implant placement

Dr. Arif performed a mastectomy and placed implants for me. I searched for a good doctor for a long time and made the right choice. The result exceeded all expectations, and the recovery was comfortable. I also had Botox done — it turned out very natural. I highly recommend!

Thank you to the entire team for your attention. I really liked it, even though I delayed the surgery for a long time due to fear. I regret not coming sooner, wonderful experience and professionalism.

Face Lift

If you want to look younger for a few years and make your facial skin firmer, I suggest Botox from Dr. Arif. It was probably my best decision.
