Op. Dr. İskender Alkın Solmaz is a brilliant, talented, dynamic, energetic, informative, young; yet, very experienced Doctor, I have known for 8 years now. (Including the years he worked at a hospital). He is knowledgable in his field of work. Yet, he keeps up with the latest developments both in Turkey and abroad as the specific field is everchanging. As far as his personality and his approach to patients go, he is kind, empathetic to patient’ s health issues, charming and “always smiling”. He operates on very difficult cases and I suspect sometimes he “fixes” what might have been a previously badly done operation. Although, he is too “professional” to admit that. His team, including the beloved Beste Babacan, taking care of all administrative issues and his nurse, Gizem Karadil, have stayed loyal to his practice over the years. Over all, very diligent, top service from the whole team. Lucky for the young, ambitious doctors, he is generous enough to put in the “extra hours” and passing his accumulated knowledge to them through his teachings, articles, lectures and classes.
After a traumatic and disfiguring ptosis surgery performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon (who was not an eye specialist), I was left devastated—physically, emotionally, and functionally. The initial surgery resulted in triple vision, severe asymmetry, nearly severed nerves, and a deformed appearance that made it difficult to even recognize myself in the mirror. I was living a nightmare and feared I would never regain normal vision or appearance.
Then, I found Dr. Iskender Solmaz.
Dr. Solmaz is not just an ophthalmologist, he is a highly skilled oculoplastic surgeon who specializes in surgeries involving the eyes and eyelids. From the moment I met him, I knew I was in the hands of someone who truly understood the complexity and delicacy of eye-related procedures. He approached my case with incredible care, expertise, and precision.
Thanks to Dr. Solmaz, I now have my eyes back both functionally and aesthetically. He not only corrected the damage done by the previous surgery, but he also restored my confidence, my appearance, and most importantly, my ability to see properly. The difference is truly life-changing.
I cannot stress this enough: ptosis and other eyelid surgeries should be performed only by trained eye surgeons—specifically oculoplastic or ophthalmic surgeons. These are not simple cosmetic procedures; they involve critical structures that affect your vision and your quality of life.
Dr. Iskender Solmaz is the doctor I wish I had found the first time. If you are considering eyelid or ptosis surgery, please do not make the mistake I did. Go straight to the expert.
With all my heart, I recommend Dr. Solmaz to anyone in need of ptosis or eye-related surgery. He gave me my eyes back and with them, a part of my life.
I’m a huge fan of the Dr and his clinic as they did a great natural rejuvenation of my 70 year old face. It’s not a factory, you are treated with respect and kindness.
I had eyelid surgery.
The doctor and his team were very professional throughout the entire process and clearly love what they do.
I’m very happy with the results.
I’m truly grateful to Dr. Iskender. I was having serious problems due to allergies and oiliness on my eyelids. I constantly had chalazions forming in my eyes. Thanks to Dr. Iskender’s treatment, my eyes are now perfectly fine. Thank you so much — I’m so glad you exist.
When it comes to eye aesthetics, facial aesthetics, and Botox, he is one of the first doctors that comes to mind. I trust him deeply because he performs all procedures with careful consideration for eye health. He also has a wonderful team. Many thanks to Ms. Beste for all her help.
I’d like to thank Dr. Iskender and his team. Even though I’m young, I had under-eye bags due to genetics. After extensive research, I found Dr. Iskender and had a consultation with him. He explained the entire process and answered all my questions thoroughly. We went ahead with the surgery the very next day. It’s only been three weeks since the operation, but the results are already visibly great. I’d also like to give special thanks to Ms. Gizem, who was always just a phone call away during the recovery process and answered all my questions. 🙂
I believe he is the only name to consider when it comes to eyelid surgery. The fact that he is an eye doctor and has performed thousands of surgeries in this field definitely sets him apart. He is one of those rare surgeons who always prioritizes the patient’s best interest and won’t recommend a procedure if it’s not right for you. His team is highly experienced and professional. I’d like to thank him and his entire team for everything.
