Lip lift in Booking Surgery by Global Health Services
About the clinic
A lip lift at Booking Surgery by Global Health Services in Istanbul, Turkey, is a procedure designed to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip. This surgery creates a fuller, more balanced look by defining the vermilion border. The clinic holds JCI and ISAPS accreditations and follows strict standards from the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Procedure Details and Method
The surgery typically takes about one hour to complete. A surgeon makes an incision at the junction where the lower nose border meets the upper lip. They remove a small amount of tissue and move the lip border upward. This method helps patients with a long upper lip or those whose lip wings curve inward. The procedure is also effective for age-related sagging in the mouth area.
Doctors use either local or general anesthesia depending on the patient's needs. The surgery uses absorbable sutures that melt on their own in about one week. This avoids the need for a separate visit to remove stitches.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Patients must follow specific steps to prepare for the surgery. Medical tests take place at the hospital the day before the procedure. The surgeon marks the most suitable lip shape during this time. Preparation guidelines include:
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol at least one month before surgery.
- Avoid aspirin or ibuprofen for two weeks before the procedure.
- Discuss any recreational drug use with the medical team.
Recovery and Care
Recovery is relatively quick, though patients must follow a strict routine. Swelling and pain usually decrease by the third day. These symptoms typically disappear within one week. For the best results, patients should rest for 24 hours after the operation. You must apply a prescribed antibiotic cream to the incision site as directed.
For one month following the surgery, you should avoid lying face down or performing strenuous activities. It is important to protect the lip area from any physical blows. Patients must also continue to avoid smoking for at least one month to help the healing process. While risks like bleeding, infection, or asymmetry can occur, following the clinic guidelines helps minimize these complications.

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.
