Booking Surgery by Global Health Services is a Turkey-based health tourism organization located in Istanbul. The company coordinates specialized medical care for international patients across four medical facilities. It originated as an international patient department in 2012 and became a separate entity in 2021. With over 13 years of experience, the team works through a network of partnered hospitals to provide surgical and restorative treatments.
Accreditations and Achievements
Booking Surgery holds JCI and ISAPS accreditations, meeting international safety and quality standards. The organization is also accredited by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey. It only partners with facilities that have a Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. The network includes 13+ physicians, with specialists who have over 15 years of experience. Surgeons in the bariatric program have collectively performed over 20,000 weight loss procedures.
Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery
The clinic focuses on laparoscopic techniques to treat obesity and related metabolic conditions. Surgeons use small-incision methods, so recovery is faster and routine drains are rarely needed. The bariatric program treats patients with a BMI of at least 28. Patients often see improvements in Type 2 Diabetes and high blood pressure within the first month. Most lose up to 90% of excess weight within one year by following nutritional guidelines.
Available weight loss procedures include:
- Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
- Mini Gastric Bypass
- Revision Bariatric Surgery
- Metabolic surgery for Type 2 Diabetes
Non-surgical slimming options are available for patients with a BMI between 28 and 30. The clinic uses silicone Intra-Gastric Balloons inflated with saline. Options include 6-month and 12-month models, such as Orbera and Medsil. The Elipse Balloon is also offered – a swallowable capsule that doesn't require endoscopy.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Booking Surgery manages a full aesthetic pathway for facial and body transformations. Care coordinators support patients from the initial inquiry through 12 months post-procedure. The surgical team includes Dr. Malik Abaci, who has over 15 years of experience. The clinic maintains a revision policy for issues occurring within the first year.
The plastic surgery department performs several specialized procedures:
- Facelift variants including full, mid-face, and endoscopic mini-lifts
- Body contouring such as liposuction and tummy tucks
- Facial aesthetics including rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty
- Breast surgery and 360° Fleur-de-Lis body lifts
- Bichectomy (Buccal Fat Removal) to sharpen facial lines
Specialized facial procedures like the Lip Lift take about one hour. Surgeons also perform Bichectomy under general or local anesthesia to enhance cheekbone definition. Post-operative care includes 24/7 support and guidance on managing initial swelling.
Cosmetic Dentistry and Other Specialties
Restorative dental services are delivered through a specialized Dental Clinic within the network. The team provides Hollywood Smile planning, including gum contouring and placement of crowns or veneers. Options include zirconium crowns, E-max crowns, and laminate veneers. The clinic also coordinates keratoplasty (cornea transplantation) for patients with corneal damage or eye injuries.
International Patient Services
Booking Surgery provides all-inclusive medical travel packages for international visitors. Multilingual coordinators handle scheduling, medical evaluations, and 24/7 support in the patient's language. VIP airport transfers are included for all patients. Accommodations are arranged in partnered hotels or private hospital rooms.
The standard hospital stay for bariatric patients is three nights and four days. Patients may bring a companion at no extra cost, and free daily meals are provided. Post-operative care includes follow-ups until the patient is ready to fly home. The team monitors recovery milestones – for example, walking within two hours after weight loss surgery.
