What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 23 Google reviewsI recently had my very first Botox procedure with Dr. Sezgic during a trip to Turkey, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! As someone who doesn’t speak Turkish, I was a bit nervous, but Dr. Sezgic speaks English beautifully and immediately put me completely at ease. From start to finish, I felt genuinely cared for. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. His professionalism, skill, and warm manner made the whole process smooth, reassuring and enjoyable. I am extremely satisfied with the results — exactly what I hoped for. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sezgic and his wonderful team to anyone considering Botox or any aesthetic procedure in Turkey. They exceeded my expectations in every way!
It’s been more than 3 years now since I first got to see Dr. Melihcan Sezgic’s work, and I can’t imagine getting anything done elsewhere or trusting anyone else. His joy in every encounter and precision in every procedure are something else I cannot describe. He patiently explains every step and will answer each one of your questions until you feel completely comfortable and satisfied. He also won’t hesitate to say no if he thinks something isn’t right for you (but he will always guide you towards what’s best). In the end, I guarantee you’ll end up more than happy with the results. The team is also incredibly friendly and supportive in every possible way. They’re always easy to reach, so you never feel anxious or alone throughout the process.
I could not believe how welcoming the entire staff was. Made me feel like family, walked me through every step of the the way to make it as easy and no stress as possible. Dr. And his staff go over and above in every aspect of their care for their patients
