Don't know where to begin in terms of my mommy makeover. I thought going to Turkey would save me money but more over, they do so much surgery. I never knew the amount of botched jobs that come from there and I picked the wrong surgeon. I chose Dr Acar for 360 lipo, tummy tuck w/ muscle repair, and breast lift with implant exchange. I knew something was wrong when I came out. My husband saw my breasts were 2 different shapes. I understand they won't be completely alike but they are deformed. I cry all the time at the way my breasts look. I also noticed my tummy tuck didn't look right with corners popping out of my hips. Fast forward to 14 weeks, I have clear dog ears. I went to a local surgeon in Chicago and he said my tummy tuck was done wrong and my breasts were visibly uneven and nipples were placed too close together. Dr Acar left fat on my hips and gave me dog ears. Literally, he said it should not have done that because I have love handles. I paid $4000 usd to get my tummy tuck fixed so he removed the love handles and took the dog ears off. I'll have to wait another year to have enough money to fix my breasts.

Now to talk about the hospital. It was incredibly unsanitary. I should've canceled my surgery when the nurse didn't wash her hands before drawing my blood and after drawing some other person's blood. No one spoke English but that's where my translator from Dr Acar's clinic came in to help, however, she seemed to struggle with English. Went to the hotel and the next mornjng, I met Dr Acar to explain what I wanted with the translator present. I said I wanted my breasts smaller to a C cup but I wanted mod implants and he said "no high profile). I then told him I wanted a small waist and smooth out my waist and hips. He marked me up and in I went to surgery. To me honest, I felt rushed and I don't think he cared about the pictures of what I was looking for. I woke up from surgery to dead flies in the ceiling light above me. It was disgusting! The nurses didn't wash their hands when they came to empty my drains to dump in the toilet despite the nurse hand washing station in my room. Dumping blood is a serious biohazard. If they had a hepatitis patient before me treated the same way, I would've been exposed. Mayclinik nurses came to change my dressings and take pictures of me with 2 or 3 phones. This is concerning because phones are filled with bacteria and they never cleaned them off as they were touching the phones then touching my open wounds. I made one nurse redress me because she dragged her disgusting dangling bracelet over one of my incisions.

I will not go further about my husbands experience in this but I could not stop crying because I could've been planning my husbands funeral while recovering in Turkey.

After my husbands experience we were moved to the hotel and the nurses were really sweet there. I kept asking the nurses if my breasts are supposed to look uneven and they say don't worry and it's normal. I was so sick of hearing "it's normal". It wasn't normal! During this time, I turned to social media to help me deal as this is where I found Dr Acar. The following of women were vicious. They had not seen or had surgery with Dr Acar and would diminish my experience. My posts pleading for some sense to validation were met with disgusting followers. I believe the hostility by this Turkish doctor's followers come from, which I suspect, fake accounts managed by their huge marketing team.

On my last day before leaving, I went to Mayclinik and I asked again about my breasts. Dr Acar laughed and said they're sisters and not twins. I noticed around the office there were at least 15 marketing team selling these services yet I only saw 3 nurses. They brought me down to a couch and shoved a microphone in my hand to tell me to talk about my testimonial. It was so hard to say it was even ok because I didn't want to get not have a ride to the airport or they retaliate against me right there.

Now I'm home and all I can see is my deformed body and realized Dr Acar did a hack job on me. I warn you to not go to this doctor. He is dangerous and lacks the eye for a natural look.

I was shocked when they told me to get ready for my surgery at Dora Hospital. I did some research...
