Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at Clinichub in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a metabolic solution for weight loss through laparoscopic techniques. This procedure helps patients lose 60-70% of their excess weight and manages conditions like type 2 diabetes. The clinic holds JCI and ISO 9001 accreditations, reflecting its commitment to international safety standards.
The gastric bypass procedure works in two ways. First, the surgeon creates a small stomach pouch of about 20-30 mL to limit food intake. Second, the surgeon bypasses a portion of the small intestine to reduce calorie absorption. This method leads to stable results, with weight loss typically holding at 23% even 10 years after the surgery. Many patients also see their type 2 diabetes go into remission for up to 15 years.
Dr. Yunus Yapalak performs these bariatric surgeries. He is a General Surgeon with over 3 years of focused experience in metabolic procedures. Dr. Yapalak trained at Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa and Bezm-i Alem University. He has previously worked at major facilities including Acıbadem Maslak and Memorial Şişli hospitals. His background in these top-tier Turkish hospitals supports a high level of surgical care.
Patients usually stay in the hospital for 2-3 nights under medical supervision. You should plan to spend a total of 6-7 days in Turkey to complete the initial recovery and follow-up checks. Most people return to their jobs within 1 to 2 weeks after the operation. The procedure is suitable for adults between the ages of 18 and 60.
Clinichub has earned a 4.9/5 rating from over 10,000 guests. The facility operates under an International Health Tourism Centre certificate from the Turkish government.

The plastic surgery department focuses on aesthetic body contouring and reconstructive procedures. Surgeons use VASER liposuction, which applies ultrasound energy to break down fat cells while sparing other tissues. This method is often combined with BBL, thigh lifts, or arm lifts to improve body proportions.
The clinic offers several abdominal techniques:
Facial rejuvenation options include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lifts, and chin implants. Dr. Murat Muhammed Biner leads many of these operations. He has performed over 2,000 surgical procedures throughout his career. Dr. Hasan Ozan Kurt specializes in breast surgery and complex reconstructive cases.
Otorhinolaryngology specialists perform functional and aesthetic nasal surgeries. The team treats deviated septums through septoplasty to improve breathing comfort.

Specialist Dr. Ozan Erol completed a fellowship at the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery. He also participated in an observership at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Nasal procedures typically follow a 7–10 day recovery timeline. Most patients spend one night in the hospital for observation. Surgeons use both open and closed techniques based on case complexity.
For weight-loss management, the center provides metabolic surgery pathways. These include sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and gastric balloon options. Dr. Yunus Yapalak specializes in these obesity treatments and has focused on bariatric surgery for three years.
