About the clinic

Gastric balloon placement at Bella Clinic Istanbul in Turkey offers a non-surgical way to lose weight. This procedure takes only 20 to 30 minutes and helps patients lose about 10–15% of their total body weight. The clinic holds JCI accreditation and maintains a 99% patient satisfaction rating for its weight loss treatments.

Balloon Types and Methods

Bella Clinic Istanbul provides two distinct options for gastric balloon placement. The first is the Orbera endoscopic silicone balloon. A specialist inserts this balloon through the mouth using a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope. This happens while the patient is under light sedation. Once inside the stomach, the balloon is filled with a saline solution.

The second option is the Allurion swallowable capsule balloon. This method does not require an endoscopy or heavy sedation. The patient simply swallows a capsule containing the balloon. Once it reaches the stomach, the specialist inflates it. Both types of balloons are made from medical-grade silicone and work by taking up space in the stomach to help you feel full faster.

Procedure Details and Recovery

The placement is quick and usually takes less than half an hour. Because the methods are non-surgical, there are no incisions or permanent changes to your digestive system. Most patients return to their normal activities shortly after the appointment. This procedure acts as a kickstart for people wanting to build long-term healthy habits.

Bella Clinic Istanbul: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul

Bella Clinic Istanbul is a private multi-specialty center in the Bagcilar district of Istanbul. It focuses on plastic surgery, dental aesthetics, hair restoration, and weight-loss services. The clinic operates within premium hospital facilities to maintain high safety standards. International patients receive structured support from initial consultation through long-term follow-up.

Accreditations and Statistics

The clinic holds JCI (Joint Commission International) and ISAPS certifications. These credentials confirm compliance with global healthcare and safety standards. The medical team has over 16 years of clinical experience. Sixteen doctors provide specialized care across surgical and aesthetic departments. Official clinic data shows a 99% customer satisfaction rate.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The plastic surgery department focuses on natural-looking enhancements for face and body. Board-certified surgeons like Dr. Mehmet Akif Cakmak perform complex reconstructive and aesthetic procedures. Treatment options include:

  • Deep Plane Facelift for facial rejuvenation
  • Rhinoplasty to improve nasal aesthetics and breathing
  • Breast augmentation using FDA-approved cohesive gel implants
  • Lipo 360 and Vaser techniques for precise body contouring
  • Gynecomastia surgery to treat enlarged male breast tissue

For breast procedures, surgeons also offer fat transfer using purified tissue. This method uses a thin cannula for precision micro-injections. Patients planning breast augmentation should expect a 6–8 day stay. Final results typically settle within 3 to 6 months.

Dental Aesthetics and Orthodontics

The dental division provides smile makeovers under the Hollywood Smile concept. Specialists use high-quality materials to restore function and appearance. Available services include:

  • Porcelain and Zirconia veneers
  • All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implant systems
  • Orthodontic treatments including lingual braces
  • Professional teeth whitening and crown lengthening

Dental implants replace missing roots with artificial anchors and custom crowns. A dedicated multilingual team coordinates all treatments.

Hair Restoration and Weight Loss

The hair clinic specializes in DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) for head and facial hair. This technique uses a specialized Choi pen to place follicles directly. Moustache transplantation addresses facial hair restoration needs. Full healing takes 12 months for final maturation. Patients also receive PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to support follicle health.

Weight-loss options include both surgical and non-surgical approaches. Gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgeries are available for significant weight reduction. Gastric balloon and gastric botox offer less invasive alternatives. All treatments include nutritional support to help maintain long-term results.

International Patient Services

The clinic offers Full-Service VIP Packages for patients traveling from abroad. These packages cover all necessary medical tests and the surgical procedure. Coordinators provide support in English, Arabic, and French. Services for international guests include:

  • VIP airport pickup and private transfers
  • Luxury hotel accommodation coordination
  • Free online consultations before travel
  • Dedicated translation support during clinical visits

Medical teams provide continuous follow-up care and aftercare instructions after discharge. This means recovery monitoring continues after the patient returns home.
