"I prefer hard honesty over a beautiful fairy tale"
Who I am
Hi, I'm Stella FreeSoul – yes, a free soul in every sense of the word. I question everything and follow my intuition… it doesn't always work out, but that's how I learn.
I question things because life isn't perfect – and when someone paints too rosy a picture, questions naturally arise in me. I prefer hard honesty over a beautiful fairy tale.
Why this blog
You won't find hidden clinic advertising or blind hate here. I want to show what reality looks like – with the good and the difficult sides – so you can make a truly informed decision: whether to go to Turkey at all, where, to whom and on what terms.
You'll find specific guidance here: what questions to ask so you can immediately see whether you'll be a patient they truly care about, or just another number in the system. I'll also show you how to write to a clinic when problems arise – step by step, no nonsense, no fear.
My experience
I decided to have my implants replaced in Turkey myself, even though I originally had them done in Scotland, and also had eyelid surgery. I won't hide it – price mattered, but this time I was mostly guided by intuition, having researched many surgeons beforehand: their qualifications, achievements and years of practice.
This process is still ahead of me – and I'll write about it honestly here too, step by step, from the perspective of a "real" patient, not a promotional brochure.
Honesty
I write it as it is, not as the clinic would like you to think. The good and the bad.
No hidden ads
No paid recommendations disguised as genuine opinions.
Specifics
Questions, checklists, red flags. Tools, not generalities.
Patient perspective
I'm not a doctor. I'm a patient who has been through this herself.
What I'm planning
In the future I want to work only with those clinics and surgeons who respect patients and prioritise transparency. I can analyse patient histories, complication data and complaints procedures, then show on the blog the places that are truly worth considering.
🤝 Transparency promise
If paid collaborations or clinic advertising ever appear here, they will be clearly labelled – and will only involve those who first pass through my filter of questions and patient stories, and only then through any business offer.
Transparency above all – towards patients and towards clinics.
