Reviews about Dr. Cigdem Unal

★★★★★★★★★★
My experience from start to finish was wonderful. The clinic was warm and welcoming , the hospital was luxurious and the attentive staff made everything pass by quickly and smoothly. Prof.Dr.Çiğdem Unal is lovely, understanding, supportive, and has a keen eye for natural results. Her assistant Mükerrem is the best! Even a year later they still welcome me into their clinic for check ups with open arms. Everything was exactly how I imagined and the results are amazing. Definitely recommend 🥰

I want to share my wonderful experience with Dr.Cigdem Unal. From the very first interaction, to surgery and the post op experience, her and her team, she has been so helpful, informative and kind. I underwent a mastopexy (breast lift) and submental liposuction 10 days ago and I truly couldn’t be happier with the results. They have even exceeded my expections. Dr.Cigdem Unal has such a warm, kind energy that you immediately feel safe in her hands. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable of her craft. As well as her assistant, Mükerre who is so incredible and such a great face to have at her team. She is always there to communicate with you, promptly when you have any questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and outcome. Thank you so much to the entire team!

I had the most incredible experience with Dr. Cigdem and her assistant, Mukerrem. From the moment I inquired about their services to the day I returned home, everything was exceptional. Dr. Cigdem's expertise and caring nature made me feel confident about my decision to travel from the US for the procedure. Mukerrem was a true gem, guiding me through the entire process with warmth and efficiency. The entire journey, from travel to surgery, was not only enjoyable but seamless. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I'm forever grateful to the whole team for making this life-changing experience so incredible!
