90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way follows the lives of Americans who move abroad to be with their partners. They face problems like cultural differences and getting used to their new lives. Sarper and Shekinah, one of the couples on the show, have been living in Turkey and working through the problems in their relationship.

In an episode of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way that aired on October 14, Shekinah underwent rhinoplasty surgery, hoping Sarper would support her during her recovery. As Shekinah emerges from anaesthesia with her face covered, Sarper notes how "vulnerable" she seems to be.

However, Sarper’s comments about her appearance after surgery drew significant attention. He said,

"She (looks) like (she's) homeless. I mean, with no makeup, recovery surgery bandage casts everywhere."

Despite his comments, Sarper reassured Shekinah that he cared for her and was committed to helping her recover. After the surgery, Sarper stepped in to assist, feeding her and helping her stand as part of her recovery process.


Sarper’s reaction to Shekinah’s surgery in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way

When Sarper saw Shekinah post-surgery, with bandages covering her face, he expressed surprise at her appearance in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. In his confessional, he compared her to someone who was "homeless" due to her lack of makeup and the recovery casts.

His comment reflected Shekinah’s condition immediately after surgery while she was still under the effects of anesthesia. This reaction showed the challenges of caring for a partner after a medical procedure. Despite the circumstances, Sarper intended to care for her during her recovery.

After the surgery, Sarper took on a larger role, engaging with Shekinah to reassure her. He commented on her appearance, telling her she still looked beautiful while holding her hand and affirming,

"You look gorgeous like this too. You can stay like this. I still love you."

Sarper's role in Shekinah's recovery in 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way

As Shekinah recovered, Sarper assisted with various tasks, such as feeding her and providing juice, as directed by doctors, to help manage her blood sugar levels. His role during this phase reflected a shift in his responsibilities as he adapted to the caregiving requirements following Shekinah’s surgery.

Sarper’s assistance, including helping her stand and walk, contributed significantly to Shekinah’s early stages of recovery. Shekinah expressed her gratitude, saying,

"Seeing this side of him just is a reminder that we do have something really special; I think that we've come a long way, and — I’m gonna get emotional — I'm just proud of him."

Within the context of Shekinah's post-surgery care, Sarper and Shekinah spent more time together during this period. One activity they participated in during their recovery routine was walking around the hospital while Sarper provided them with physical support.

Shekinah acknowledged Sarper's essential role in assisting her through the preliminary stages of the healing process. During this time, they could interact while simultaneously managing the practical aspects of her recovery together.

She said,

"You know, there's been really hard times, and not everything was easy, but he's doing great, and I'm proud of us."

Shekinah, moved by Sarper's efforts, admits that he is "really impressing" her. She becomes emotional as she reflects on the challenges they have faced in the past while Sarper prepares for them to settle in for the night.
