Post-Bariatric Plastic Surgery Turkey

I had my gastric sleeve surgery with Clinic Center in Istanbul. I was struggling losing weight for years and it was the best decision in my life. I was looked after very professionally. The hospital stuff was amazing. They did all the necessary tests prior to operation. The operation went very smoothly and I had no pain or any other complications after. Special thanks to my surgeon, Dr. Ziya. He was so nice. He came to see me several times after the surgery. I felt safe and at ease. The Clinic Center team was really supportive from the beginning and even after. They are still in regular contact with me. It has been 3 months since my surgery and I've already lost 4 stone. I highly recommend Clinic Center. Great experience!

I had the gastric sleeve on the 6th of December 2023 as I was unhappy with my weight from the moment I got there to the moment I left i was treated amazing I couldn’t recommend this company enough I do not regret my decision second, I went with this clinic as it had good reviews and i know others who also went with this company and had an excellent experience with amazing results. As soon as I arrived at the airport we were greeted and our transport was gorgeous we then arrived at the hospital where I filled out paperwork and got some tests done after that I got to relax the rest of the day, the next morning, when I woke up my translator Damla who was amazing through the whole thing, kept me feeling positive and was there if I needed anything day or night, took me for the rest of my tests and later that day I got my surgery done by Dr Erdem who I also couldn't recommend enough and it went great no complications and was only sore for a couple of hours after the surgery. A few days later I was taken down to see a nutritionist with my other translator Alex who as well was amazing with me the nutritionist explained my diet told me which things to eat and drink and which things not to and also gave me a target goal, I was then kept till the Saturday and the nurses and the rest of the staff were great always checking on me making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed they also gave me protein shakes, vitamins, stomach protectors and painkillers to take home with me overall I would say my experience was great and I recommend it to anyone.

So having being very hesitant to go abroad from the UK for surgery, I FULLY did my research. I spoke to hundreds of other ladies who were in the same boat and got recommendations/before and afters etc. Literally for 3 months just made sure I was choosing the correct clinic and the correct surgeon! It is mundane and tiring and the list goes on forever, trying to narrow things down…….which I eventually did!! And chose Catchlife! And wow, I am so glad I did! Tunahan the coordinator is an angel in disguise (and someone who obviously never sleeps as he is on hand on WhatsApp all the time). From the moment I contacted Catchlife to being dropped off at the airport to head back to the UK after surgery, nothing was ever too much. The process and booking was so smooth, I didn’t believe it was actually going to happen as it was so easy. All my questions/worries/niggles were answered whenever I asked them (I had bad anxiety and was reading up horror stories, freaking myself out which was so wrong) but I still flew out and went ahead with it. I landed late at night and was taken to the Memorial hospital for tests which was a lovely, clean hospital with friendly staff! I then stayed at the hotel which was right near the beach. The morning of the surgery I was picked up by Catchlife…..Tuna made me feel at ease and make me more excited rather than nervous. When I got to the hospital and met my surgeon, Dr Ali Mehmet Korkmaz, he made me feel even better and is obviously amazing at what he does, very professional and knowledgable, he really knows his stuff! The surgery came and was a success (tummy tuck and 360 lipo), but I’m not going to lie, the recovery for the first 3 days was awful. The anesthetic wearing off, the pain when the painkillers wear off and not being able to be mobile was hard……but I held on and day 4 I turned a corner and felt amazing! I started to see the shape of my surgery and managed to move about and even go for my teeth whitening which I may I also add, was fab! Sooo clean and very white! Madi, another coordinator who was so kind and caring, took me to the hairdressers to have my hair washed and dried which made me feel a lot more human! A nurse was sent to the hotel everyday whilst I was there to check my healing and since being back in the UK, the aftercare process has been great. I’m constantly in touch with Catchlife and sending updates to pass on to my surgeon, who seems very pleased with my healing and my progress! As I’ve been told a million times, when having a TT, you have to trust the process! And this is true. Having Catchlife with me along the way has been a blessing and made the process a whole lot easier. On day 2 of surgery I thought “never again” but now 2 weeks post-op, I would 100% do it all over again. Do not hesitate to book and change your life! Catchlife and the coordinators will be there with you every step of the way! Amazing company ….couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you so much! I could not be happier with my journey and now my results!!!

Overall a great experience. From the consultation to the procedure I felt like a patient rather than a client. I feel everything was explained clearly and everything went on time. It was my first such procedure so I can not compare. But overall I had a great experience and I would highly recommend this surgeon & clinic.

Gastric sleeve surgery on the 25th November 2022. I’m a 33 year old mother who had 2 travel alone because of child care. Irem was amazing. From start 2 finish as soon as I landed in Turkey I was well looked after. The hospital was spotless and the nurses were amazing. I was never left no longer then 30 minutes on my own. I was always being checked on and made sure I was comfortable. I flew over on Friday and I left on Tuesday. When I first woke up I was very much shocked but I had 2 nurses who didn’t leave my side until I had come round and was well alert. I have had no problems at all with my surgery it took a little while for my head 2 catch up with my belly and Irem as answered any messages I’ve sent very quickly. My scars are so neat and hardly noticeable now I’ve gone from 16 stone 2 11 stone 9 and I’m comfortable enough to start to maintain my weight at the moment I don’t need any plastic surgery as I’m loving my new body. But I’m 50/50 about having my boobs done and if I do I will 100% be using this team again. I’m even friends with my surgeon on instagram and he always replied 2 my stories or asked me how I’m doing !! Honestly Turkey is a big place and many places offer this kind of surgery but I’m so glad I went with this company.

My whole journey was made so much easier and somewhat enjoyable by how much they all took care of me. I highly highly recommend this clinic!!! Amazing coordinators, Oliver was brilliant with me from day 1 of messaging her throughout, she even took me shopping.

Fantastic plastic surgeon. Definitely recommend. The lady who took care of my booking was fantastic also.

Couldn't say anything bad. Amazing experience and my dreams have definitely come true. Feeling much more body confident, something I have always wanted to do and never thought I would. The hotel, hospital and the nurses and the doctor were amazing too. The price for the service and treatment you get is great and I would definitely return, I had breast implants and uplift. I couldn't be happier.

Dr. Ulas is more than just a doctor, he is an amazing person that really cares about human contact with you and wants you to feel comfortable and give you the best life ever after your surgery. I did a rhinoplastic with him and I would do it again and again, because he changed my life and my new nose fit perfectly my personality and my face. The pain is going to be for the first 4-5 day, but Ulas is going to take care of you 💗 Thank you Ulas!!

Dr Mani and his team are absolutely amazing, very professional at their job made me feel very comfortable. I am super happy with my results. 5 weeks post op and still in contact when ever needed I would very much recommend it.

I have been searching for the right clinic for a long time. I finally found the place that could understand my wishes and give me reassurance about my questions. I had a tummy tuck surgery 5 months ago. The JFS Clinic was impeccable and the care was 11 /10. I was so happy with my amazing plastic surgeon and the results I have now I could not have asked for anything more. I highly recommend this clinic if you are considering surgery in Turkey. I can't wait to have my facelift with them!

I had my nose done with Dr Durukan 3 weeks ago, and it is the best thing I've ever done. Teoman met us at the airport and he is the loveliest person ever putting me right at ease and excited for my surgery, we met the nurse and Dr. Durukan the following day and they were both amazing, so nice and professional, she looked after me so well after my surgery also. And she also had her nose done by him which is amazing! I’m so happy with my results like it’s better than I wanted (he is a genius) and I will definitely be back to them if I ever want anything done again, the best of the best!

Smooth process, from booking to the transfers and accommodation that was sorted for me. The procedure (elipse balloon) was painless, I was only in the clinic one hour. Managed to lose 11lbs in one week, so I'd recommend.

I had bulbous nose and my surgery had in May 2023. Dr Bahitten is very professional I’m really satisfied with the results. The hospital was clean and tidy and the staff was very friendly & helpful. Ideal for solo travellers. The package was responsible too. Please ask for medical documents before leaving the hospital cause on Airport you can be ask for your reports. I highly recommend this Hospital.

I would just love to share an amazing transformation & experience I had within the careful hands of Dr Houtan plus his extended team (Sirac, Deniz, Burcu & all the lovely nurses). I underwent a breast lift procedure which initially was to follow with an implant to create more projection, but all was achieved with just the breast tissue which resulted in more natural & youthful looking breasts!! This was a change from what I had originally which was less volume & sagging of the breasts after 3 children, breastfeeding & fluctuating weight. Dr Houtan was recommended to me by a friend who had previously undergone cosmetic surgery & I was surprised with her new body!! So I did my own research on the clinic, their testimonials & aftercare, and then I was happy with my choice. I couldn’t fault a single moment from the day I arrived until the day I returned home from surgery, to be honest, they still stay in contact to make sure the aftercare is just as important & successful as the surgery itself. They are with you every step of the way…that’s why I knew I was with the best!! A massive thank you to New Me Health Clinic, I am a new person inside & out!! Lots of love.

I had cosmetic surgery in February and it was an amazing experience! The staff are absolutely friendly and kind to me as a patient and also with my partner ☺️. They took really good care of me before and after the operation and still check on me to this day !❤️, the hospital was really clean and always on point. I would highly recommend this hospital and for sure I’d go back to this hospital because it was amazing ❤️… A BIG thank you to the staff and the Professor.
