Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our medical and aesthetic services, procedures, and patient care in Turkey.

The best candidates for aesthetic procedures are individuals who are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about their results. Whether you are looking for facial rejuvenation or body contouring, the first step is always a personal evaluation. During your consultation, the surgeon will review your medical history and listen to your goals to ensure that surgery is the safest and most effective option for you.

It is so incredibly common, but you truly do not need to feel guilty! Wanting to look your best and investing in your own happiness is a profound act of self care. Just as we nourish our minds and our health, taking steps to overcome body insecurities and feel beautiful is something you absolutely deserve. Your happiness matters.

Yes! Combining surgeries is a very common and efficient approach, often referred to as a “Mommy Makeover” or full body contouring. For example, patients frequently combine a breast lift with liposuction or a tummy tuck. The main advantage of combining procedures is that you only have to undergo anesthesia once, and you go through a single recovery period rather than multiple downtimes. Your surgeon will determine what combinations are safe for your specific body type.

Non surgical treatments (like Dermal Fillers, Botox, or Morpheus8) are quick, minimally invasive procedures designed to smooth wrinkles, add volume, or improve skin texture with little to no downtime. However, their results are temporary and need maintenance. Surgical aesthetics (like a Facelift or Rhinoplasty) involve reshaping tissues and removing excess skin to create dramatic, long lasting, and structural changes to the face or body.

Surgical results are designed to be long lasting and, in many cases, permanent! Procedures that remove tissue or cartilage, like Rhinoplasty, offer lifetime results. Body contouring procedures remove fat cells permanently; however, the remaining cells can still expand if you gain weight. To maintain your beautiful new shape and protect your investment, we highly recommend keeping a healthy, active lifestyle and a stable weight after your recovery.

It is all about aligning how you feel on the inside with what you see in the mirror. When a physical insecurity constantly weighs on your mind, it can quietly hold you back from living fully. Enhancing or restoring a feature isn’t about vanity; it’s about removing that heavy burden so you can step out into the world feeling lighter, more radiant, and truly comfortable in your own skin.

Absolutely! The ultimate goal of beautifully done cosmetic surgery is never to change your identity, but to bring out your most refreshed, vibrant self. By focusing on natural looking aesthetic results that perfectly harmonize with your unique facial structure, the people you love will still recognize you, they will just wonder why you look so incredibly well rested and glowing.

Yes, it absolutely is! Gynecomastia surgery provides a permanent, life changing result for men who struggle with excess chest tissue that simply won’t go away with intense dieting or chest workouts. By carefully removing the overdeveloped glandular tissue and using advanced liposuction to sculpt away the surrounding stubborn fat, we create a firm, flat, and masculine chest contour. The recovery is surprisingly smooth, most patients are back to their normal daily routines within just a few days and can hit the gym again in about four to six weeks. As long as you maintain a healthy, stable weight, your new sculpted chest is yours to keep forever.

It depends on your unique anatomy, but the most common and preferred technique for a natural look is “submuscular” or “dual plane” placement. This means the implant is placed partially or fully underneath the pectoral muscle. Placing it under the muscle provides better soft tissue coverage, which hides the edges of the implant (preventing a “rippling” effect) and significantly reduces the risk of capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant).

The difference lies in the incisions. In a Closed Rhinoplasty, all incisions are made completely inside the nostrils, meaning zero visible external scarring. However, it offers limited visibility for the surgeon. In an Open Rhinoplasty, a tiny incision is made across the columella (the skin between your nostrils). This allows the surgeon to literally lift the skin back and fully visualize the nasal structure, allowing for incredibly precise, millimeter perfect reshaping of the bone and cartilage. The tiny columellar scar usually fades to become virtually invisible.

BodyTite is a brilliant piece of technology that utilizes Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL). The device has an internal cannula that goes under the skin and an external electrode that rests on top. As the internal probe gently melts fat, electrical current flows between the two points, generating precise, controlled thermal energy (heat). This heat causes the collagen fibers deep within the sub dermal layers to instantly contract and triggers long term collagen production, resulting in significant skin tightening without the long scars of traditional excisional surgery.

The surgical technique depends entirely on how much skin needs to be removed. For mild sagging, a Peri areolar (donut) incision around the edge of the areola is used. For moderate sagging, a Lollipop incision goes around the areola and straight down to the breast crease. For significant lifting and reshaping, the Anchor (inverted T) technique is used, which adds a horizontal incision along the breast fold. During your consultation, we map out the exact geometry needed to give you the best structural lift with the minimal necessary incisions.

Yes, but it is highly regulated based on safety protocols. A standard Mommy Makeover (usually a breast procedure combined with a tummy tuck and some liposuction) typically takes about 4 to 6 hours. To keep you completely safe, surgeons strictly monitor your time under general anesthesia, your body temperature, and potential blood loss. If a patient requires very extensive work that pushes the safe time limits, we will strategically stage the transformation into two separate surgeries to ensure optimal safety and healing.

Yes, it truly can. When a specific feature whether it’s the shape of your nose or the contour of your waist causes daily stress, dictates what you wear, or makes you hide from the camera, it takes a heavy toll. Correcting that one single area often creates a beautiful ripple effect, bringing a wave of relief, joy, and the freedom to just live your life fully without holding back.

You are emotionally ready when you are making this decision entirely for you, not to meet someone else’s expectations, save a relationship, or chase a fleeting internet trend. If you want to enhance a feature simply because it will make you smile brighter every time you catch your reflection, you are starting from the perfect, healthiest place.

The psychological effects go far beyond the physical shape. Patients often describe a massive release of mental energy. Once a long standing insecurity is finally resolved, people tend to wear clothes they actually love instead of hiding in baggy layers. You will likely find yourself participating more in social events, taking more photos, and carrying yourself with a wonderful, newfound pride.

Healing is a journey, and it is completely normal to feel a bit emotional or impatient while waiting for the swelling to go down. We always remind our patients to be incredibly gentle with themselves during this time. Having a strong, loving support system, focusing on the beautiful end goal, and celebrating the tiny daily improvements makes the emotional recovery so much smoother and more peaceful.

Traditional liposuction relies purely on the manual, mechanical movement of a hollow tube (cannula) to break up fat before suctioning it out, which can be tough on surrounding tissues. Ultrasound Assisted Liposuction (UAL) uses a specialized probe that emits high frequency sound waves. These sound waves specifically target and vibrate the fat cells until they rupture and emulsify (turn into a liquid). This allows the surgeon to gently suction out the liquified fat while leaving the surrounding blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues largely undisturbed, resulting in a smoother contour and less bruising.

It is a very common misconception that liposuction is a weight loss tool, but it is actually a highly targeted body contouring procedure! For strict safety reasons, international medical guidelines limit the extraction to a maximum of 4 to 5 liters (about 8 to 11 pounds) of fat and fluid during a single surgery. Removing more than this limit at one time can cause dangerous fluid shifts in the body, increase the risk of shock, and severely complicate the healing process. If your body contouring goals require removing more than 5 liters to achieve the desired shape, the safest and most effective technical approach is to divide the transformation into two separate surgeries, giving your body’s internal systems plenty of time to rest, stabilize, and recover in between.

This is a great technical question! A BBL uses your body’s own fat, which is harvested via liposuction, purified, and then meticulously injected into the gluteal area. Generally, you can expect about 60% to 80% of the transferred fat cells to survive and permanently establish a blood supply in their new location. To ensure the highest survival rate, surgeons inject the fat in micro droplets across multiple tissue layers, and you’ll need to strictly avoid sitting directly on your backside during the initial recovery phase.

It can be emotionally exhausting when a previous surgery doesn’t turn out the way you had hoped, but patience is absolutely your best friend right now! For a delicate procedure like a nose job, specialized surgeons strongly recommend waiting a full 12 months before considering a revision rhinoplasty. The nose holds onto swelling for a very long time, and the underlying scar tissue needs a full year to soften and mature. Going back into the operating room too early can complicate the healing process and damage fragile cartilage. Giving your body a year allows it to build a stable and healthy foundation so it can deliver the beautiful, natural results you deserve.

Any surgical incision will leave a scar, but an expert plastic surgeon uses advanced, specialized techniques to minimize their appearance. Incisions are carefully placed in natural body creases or hidden areas (like the bikini line or behind the ears) so they are easily concealed by clothing or natural contours. Over time, and with proper scar care management, these lines typically fade into faint, barely noticeable marks.

Patient comfort is our top priority. During the actual surgery, you will be under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, meaning you will not feel any pain at all. In the days following the procedure, it is completely normal to experience some soreness, swelling, or a feeling of tightness. However, this is highly manageable with the prescribed pain medications and personalized post operative care provided by our medical team.

A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) does more than just remove excess skin. During pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations, the vertical abdominal muscles can separate, a condition called diastasis recti. During surgery, our specialists act like internal tailors. They use permanent internal sutures to bring separated muscles back together and tighten the entire abdominal wall. This internal “corset” gives you a truly flat, structurally supported, and tightened abdominal area.

We make the process seamless for our international patients! You can easily start by reaching out via WhatsApp. Our team will ask you to share a few clear photos of the areas you want to improve, along with your medical history. Specialists will personally review your file and create a customized treatment plan. We will then schedule a voice or video call to discuss the proposed techniques, expected outcomes, and pricing before you even book your flight.

Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure and your body’s natural healing pace. For non surgical treatments like Botox or fillers, there is zero downtime. For smaller surgeries, you might need just a few days of rest. For more comprehensive procedures like a Tummy Tuck or Mommy Makeover, most patients take 1 to 2 weeks off from work and avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise for about 4 to 6 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare guides to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

Pregnancy is a beautiful miracle, but it is completely normal and valid to feel like you don’t recognize your reflection afterward. A Mommy Makeover is a deeply personal journey of reclaiming your space and feeling at home in your body again. It helps restore the firmness and contours that diet and exercise simply can’t fix, giving you back that wonderful sense of physical and emotional wholeness.

Standard microneedling only creates tiny physical micro injuries on the surface of the skin to stimulate healing. Morpheus8 takes this to a much deeper, structural level by adding fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy. The needles penetrate up to 4mm (and sometimes up to 8mm for the body) into the subdermal adipose tissue. Once at the target depth, they emit RF heat. This deep tissue heating actually remodels the underlying fat and fibrous network, providing a “shrink wrap” effect that standard microneedling simply cannot achieve.

Drains are very common after procedures like a Tummy Tuck or extensive Liposuction. When tissue is removed or separated, your body naturally produces fluid in that empty space as part of the inflammatory healing response. Small, flexible silicone tubes (drains) are temporarily placed under the skin to gently suction this fluid out. Preventing fluid buildup (seroma) is crucial because it keeps the skin tight against the muscle wall, allowing the internal tissues to adhere properly and heal flat. They are usually removed within 3 to 7 days.
