It's Fran Mar 14, 2022

For the longest time I have suffered with back problems due to very big breasts. I always wanted to have a reduction but I was scared. Coming across Mcan was a god sent. From the very beginning, they were very informative and always available to answer any questions I had. It took my surgeon only 3 hours to change my life. I'm currently almost 3 weeks post surgery and can still not believe how different I look. I feel so light and beautiful and I couldn't be happier!! From the drivers to the girls who assisted me to my surgeon to the nurses. Every body was amazing and extremely helpful. The hospital was new and super clean. 2 days after my surgery I was literally out and about exploring Istanbul. I had a lovely day out with the Mcan girls. I will never forget this time. Thanks for my new life Mcan.

I have had nothing but a great experience with MCAN from start to finish. They were very responsive throughout and I've felt totally supported and listened to. Everything went to schedule, they were always on time when ferrying me to the hospital or the clinic for check ups. I stayed on a further 10 days and my surgeon gave me an additional check up to to make sure everything was 100% at no extra charge! Dr. Habib Baskurt did an amazing job on my breast reduction operation and would recommend him. He is professional, courteous and explained things as he went along. Hilal was my facilitator from MCAN and she was lovely, nothing was too much trouble for her.
