Forehead Reduction in Turkey: Patient Reviews and How to Read Them
Patient reviews of Op. Dr. Ahmet Dilber are published on RealSelf, Google and Trustpilot. This page links to each profile with its score and the date it was checked; it does not copy, select or edit reviews. It also explains how to judge a forehead reduction review by when it was written, which procedure it describes and what its photos show.

Where can you read patient reviews of Dr. Dilber?
Reviews of Dr. Dilber are published on three independent platforms: RealSelf, Google and Trustpilot. Each platform sets its own rules for who can post and how reviews are checked, and each profile covers all of his procedures, not only forehead reduction. To find forehead reduction accounts, use the platform's search or procedure filter, or look for the procedure name in the review text.
The table shows each score with the number of reviews and the date it was checked, and links to the full profile, where you can read every review, including critical ones. The practice does not choose which reviews you see and does not quote them on this site. A score covers many procedures over several years, so it is not a success rate for forehead reduction. The scores on this page are checked and updated every month.

How should you read a forehead reduction review?
Three details decide how much a review can tell you: when it was written, which procedure it describes and what its photos show.
Timing
Check how long after surgery the review was written. A review from the first weeks describes the stay, communication and early healing, when the scar is still pink and the forehead may feel numb. A review written six months or a year later says more about the scar and the hairline. Look for later updates from the same person.
Procedure
Make sure the review is about forehead reduction itself. Some accounts describe rhinoplasty, a facelift or several operations at once, and a practice score mixes every procedure. If a review does not name the operation, read it as a review of the practice and its care rather than of the result you are considering.
Photos
Photos help only when you know the dates and conditions. Compare front views taken in similar light with the hair pulled back, and note both the surgery date and the photo date. Styling, filters and lighting change what you see. The before and after page shows dated forehead reduction cases.
How does the practice respond to reviews?
The practice reads reviews on all three platforms and replies publicly to positive and negative ones. Replies never discuss a patient's medical details, because these are confidential. When a reviewer raises a clinical concern, the practice asks them to get in touch directly so that Dr. Dilber can look at their photos and records.
The practice does not pay for reviews or give money off, gifts or extra care in return for one, and it does not invite only satisfied patients to post. It asks a platform to remove a review only when that platform's own rules are broken, for example a review from someone who was never a patient. If you are unsure about a review, ask the team on WhatsApp.
What about Reddit and patient forums?
Many people researching forehead reduction read Reddit communities such as r/PlasticSurgery and hair-loss forums. Forums show the questions patients actually ask, and they often carry long-term updates that review sites rarely have: how a scar looks years later, or whether the hairline moved back after surgery.
Forum posts are anonymous and unverified. A post may describe another surgeon, another operation or an early stage of healing, and one story can be repeated across several threads. Use forums to build your list of questions, then ask them during your photo review, where Dr. Dilber can answer them for your own hairline. The practice does not post on forums, does not ask patients to, and does not comment on individual threads.
What can a review not tell you?
A review cannot tell you whether forehead reduction suits your hairline. That depends on how high the hairline is, whether it is stable and how far your scalp moves. Dr. Dilber's assistant presents your photos and medical history to him, and he decides whether you are a candidate. If you go ahead, he examines you himself at his practice in Ataköy the day before surgery and agrees the new hairline with you.
Reviews also rarely explain what happens if something goes wrong. Any cosmetic surgery carries risks. For forehead reduction they include bleeding, infection, numbness or altered sensation behind the hairline, a visible or widened scar, hair loss along the incision, an uneven hairline and the need for revision surgery.
After you return home, you send photos on WhatsApp at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, and Dr. Dilber and his assistants review your healing and adjust creams or medication if needed. If you notice redness, discharge or increasing pain, send photos straight away. Read about aftercare after you fly home.

What do readers ask about forehead reduction reviews?
Long-term updates are the most useful reviews and the hardest to find. On RealSelf and forums, check whether the reviewer posted again months later. Dr. Dilber follows every patient by photo on WhatsApp for up to one year, at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, and you can ask the team for dated, consented photos taken later. The scar page shows how a scar changes over time.
