As there is no corneal flap made, the healing process is much faster than a LASIK procedure. It only takes a few minutes and in a few days you can have the full result. It is completely blade and flap free.

As a difference from FemtoLASIK, Smile Relex patients do not need to change a few devices as it is performed with only one femtosecond laser device which makes it very practical and easy.

  • Whole structure of cornea is kept as it is. Faster healing.
  • After Relex Smile, patients do not usually have dry eye problems because cornea is not damaged and tear ducts can function well.

Kävin nenäleikkauksessa travelmedicin kautta ja kaikki meni hyvin jännityksestä huolimatta. Konsultti auttoi kaikissä kysymyksissä. Dr.Mustafa oli todella ammattitaitoinen. Lopputuloksesta tuli juuri sellainen mitä suunniteltiin. Suosittelen

Chciałbym podziękować Pani Doktor oraz całemu personelowi za profesjonalizm i troskę. Po przeszczepie czułem się w dobrych rękach. Pani Doktor była nie tylko kompetentna, ale także wyjątkowo empatyczna. Personel był miły i pomocny, a Berat, który mnie wspierał, zasługuje na szczególne wyróżnienie. Jego wsparcie w całym procesie było bezcenne. Dziękuję!

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! My experience with Berat at TravelMEDI was exceptional from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble any questions I may have had were answered promptly and efficiently. The treatment I received was fantastic from my surgeon to the hospital staff who were outstanding the hospital and Hotel beat anything in the UK. Now home the care is still there with regular contact via Berat. I can’t thank Berat and TravelMEDI enough for their kindness.

Where do I start? I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the beginning until the end, Travelmedi looked after myself, my husband and even our little girl. They made us feel so comfortable and respected.

I came over to Istanbul for a tummy tuck and liposuction after hating how I looked for many years. Having children left me with an overhang. I was introduced to Dr Mustafa Keskin who gave me the results I really wished for. He has given me the body I always wanted!! I am over the moon with how I look right now, it makes me emotional. He was so caring & calm and made me feel like I could trust him straight away. Thank YOU!!!

A special thank you has to go to the man behind the scenes.. Berat. What an absolute angel of a man. He has looked after us amazingly. He has been there to answer all of our questions, some silly questions, but also to help us feel comfortable in a country we have never been to before. We have developed a real friendship with Berat and we think that our experience wouldn’t have been as perfect as it has been, if Berat wasn’t with us. Thank YOU Travelmedi for the most wonderful experience. We will recommend to all of our family & friends. See you again in the future.

I came to travel medi on a recommendation for a breast uplift and augmentation but being only 22 I was extremely nervous and it was my first surgery also. Berat was just amazing I cannot talk higher of him! He made the whole experience every single step as seamless as possible, I was given a whole itinerary and Berat still kept me updated and went through every step I did by my side. Every consultation appointment every time I had to leave the hotel he was there with us, he is so so lovely kind caring and any question or query(not that I had many) he answered almost immediately!

I went to a different surgeon than what I was supposed to but it was the best decision ever made. Professor Mustafa Keskin is top of the game and he was absolutely brilliant and went into so much detail about every single aspect of the surgery.

I was extremely nervous about having surgery but he was amazing. Berat was with me every step of the way till I was being wheeled down for surgery! When I woke up in the morning he was there for my release and accompanied me in the car back to the hotel.

Travel Medi is an amazing company to go with, from start to finish my whole process was completely seamless and stress free. They sort everything out so all you have to do is turn up! Every time we left the hotel for a consultation or blood work our driver was there to take us wait and pick us up. Berat is a credit to Travel Medi he’s an absolute diamond! Even now I am home he is still checking in to make sure I am ok!

From the very first contact made with travelmedi the service was amazing. They were so thorough with all their questions and as a mother allowing her child at 17 years old to under go any surgery never mind surgery in another country I say I had nothing to worry about. They made great contact right up to appointment. From the first greeting at airport until the last drop bk at airport to return was excellent service. And that wasn't the end they still made contact to see how her healing process was and I honestly would recommend them to anyone. The service in turkey was for a breast reduction and from her first appointment until her last the staff were so helpful pleasant and very caring.

Honestly couldn't recommend anyone more. From start to finish I have been kept informed and reassured with everything. Any questions I had Berat answered quickly and made me feel very comfortable going forward with the surgery. I had the surgery less that a week ago and I am already massively happy with the results I have and can't wait till I am fully healed for the finished look! If anyone is unsure of travelling to Turkey or who to go with regarding surgey, TravelMedi is for sure the best!

Most Popular and Frequently Asked

ReLEx Smile Questions

Watery eyes, itching, aching, having difficulties in reading, blurry vision, squinting, headaches are the main indicators of eye disorders.

Our main aim is to provide the same quality of vision that you have with your glasses. The results 0,5 and below are considered as successful and the patient does not need to use glasses or lenses anymore. Laser treatment is the best when performed in a stable period (1 year) in terms of eye prescription. If the patient’s eye number increases when the procedure is done, it may continue to increase after too.

After having i-LASIK and LASIK methods that require a corneal flap, you may feel pain, aching or burning sensation for 6 hours. Whereas in LASEK or PRK methods where flap is not made but corneal tissue is scraped and folded, you can have pain for 2-3 days. In order to reduce this pain it is recommended to use protective contact lenses.

It is normal to have dry eyes for some time after the surgery and it is recommended to use artificial tear drops for this dryness. Within time this problem will disappear naturally and you will not have to use drops anymore.

Laser surgeries can very well fix astigmatism, along with myopia and hypermetropia.

In laser treatments the main aim is to decrease the vision acuity number to – / + 0,50. 6 months after your procedure, if there is still a higher acuity number, you can have the treatment again after an examination to see if you still have enough thickness of cornea, with the help of pachymetry, orbscan and corneal topography. If you are suitable to have another surgery, your surgeon will not make a new flap, but use the old incision where your first flap was made.

After your consultation, your doctor will recommend you the best method suitable for you, based on your corneal thickness and shape.
