Gynecomastia Removal With Dr Turkin

Review of New Look Holiday by UK1980. Treatment date: over 12 months

Gynecomastia has been an issue for me since 2009, and the NHS refused to operate despite my appeals through the CCG. I was quoted £3,250+ for the procedure privately in the UK and was told to expect some disfigurement after, such as a dent in my chest and loss of sensation in the area. My contact with New Look Holidays was excellent from the outset – they accommodated every request I had, right down to the location of the incision to remove the lump! They have a can-do attitude – something we are not used to in the UK! The operation and treatment by the surgical team and support staff were brilliant. I knew what was going on and did not feel isolated when I was in Slovakia. The apartment was really nice, and the town a short walk away, there was loads to see and do. I wish I could have stayed in Kosice longer; it is a lovely place. I was awake during the procedure and can confirm the facilities, surgical equipment, and cleanliness in the hospital are of an equal standard to the UK. The post-op care was perfect; I was given more than enough dressing to take with me and antibiotics, painkillers, etc. I received several phone calls and emails after I got back to the UK as well; the communication was as good after as it was before the surgery. A month later, I am more than happy with the result; my chest looks normal again, and Dr. Turkin left me with none of the problems the UK surgeon warned me of – no dent or loss of sensation! The total cost of the procedure and travel, accommodation, and food was under £900, less than a third of the UK price with a better result. I don’t anticipate ever needing cosmetic surgery again, but if I do, I would not hesitate to use New Look Holidays again. We get ripped off for everything in the UK, and it seems cosmetic surgery here is something where people are really taken advantage of. I really can’t speak highly enough of them and am very grateful to the whole team there – gynecomastia was an awful condition that caused me daily stress, and the problem is now completely resolved.
