The Transformation Diaries: Juliet Mayhew
For some time, I had been noticing subtle changes in my face. There wasn’t a single defining moment that led me to consider a facelift, but I knew I wanted to feel like a refreshed, ten-year-younger version of myself. As someone whose work involves being in front of people, I became increasingly aware of how these changes were affecting my confidence and how I presented myself day to day.
Of course, I had my hesitations. I wondered how painful it would be, what the recovery might look like and whether the results would feel natural.
Everything changed when I discovered Mr Tunc Tiryaki. To me, he is simply the best in the industry - a true craftsman. I often describe him as a “couturier doctor” Every single stitch he makes is seamless and barely visible. What really drew me to him was his leadership in pioneering stem cell treatments and his incredible bedside manner. Choosing him was about more than just surgery; it was about accessing the top tier of technical excellence and personalised care.
"Travelling to Turkey was an easy decision - the private hospital offered round-the-clock care, which made a huge difference to my experience. From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. Knowing I had 24-hour support gave me a real sense of reassurance throughout the process."
The Recovery Phase
The first week after surgery was definitely the most intense. There’s no denying that those early days require patience - and I did experience an initial shock when I saw how different I looked. However, I was genuinely surprised by how little pain I felt. I followed the aftercare protocol carefully, and by around ten days, the tightness had begun to ease and my recovery became much smoother.
I was also surprised by how quickly I felt ready to return to normal life. Within a short time, I felt comfortable enough to go out to dinner - simply wearing a pair of glasses gave me the confidence to ease back into my routine.
Now, at just over two months post-procedure, I can honestly say I am blown away by the results. My face is still settling and evolving, which is exciting in itself, but already I can see such a positive change. The result feels completely natural - just a fresher, more rejuvenated version of me.
Confidence Restored
More than anything, the impact on my confidence has been remarkable. I feel like myself again, but with a renewed sense of self-assurance. It has changed how I carry myself and how I feel in everyday situations. There’s a real sense of anticipation as I continue to heal and see the final results emerge.
Looking back, my advice would be to prioritise finding a truly exceptional surgeon and a team you trust. That makes all the difference. For me, travelling abroad was absolutely worth it. Having access to that level of expertise, combined with seamless care from start to finish, made the entire experience incredibly positive.
