Consultation with creation of treatment plan in Doku Medical Center (Doku Clinic / Doku Medical)

Doku Medical Center is a multi-specialty clinic in Istanbul's Şişli district. Founded in 2017 by dermatologists Dr. Serkan Aygın and Dr. Melda Aygın, it spans over 5,000 square meters. The facility offers plastic surgery, medical aesthetics, and hair restoration. Patients come from more than 145 countries.

Accreditations and Professional Scale

The clinic employs over 500 staff to manage its high-volume international workflow. Its quality framework aligns with several international standards. Doku Medical Center holds multiple certifications:

• Joint Commission International (JCI)
• International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
• American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
• British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS)
• ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001

Dr. Serkan Aygın has performed hair transplants since 1996. Op. Dr. Emirali Hamiloglu brings over 40 years of plastic and reconstructive surgery experience.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The surgical department performs body and facial contouring procedures. For breast aesthetics, surgeons use teardrop implants from Mentor and Motiva, which include manufacturer warranties. The team follows a "No-Touch Protocol" with dual-plane pocket placement.

Deep plane facelifts have a satisfaction rate above 98%. This technique reduces revision rates by about 20% over ten years. Other facial procedures include:

• SMAS Facelift for long-lasting rejuvenation
• MACS lift for mini facial shaping
• Upper and lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
• Facial feminization surgery (FFS)

Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasonic waves to target fat cells. This protects surrounding muscles, vessels, and nerves. Gynecomastia surgery requires just a one-day hospital stay.

Specialized Rhinoplasty Techniques

The clinic offers primary, revision, and ethnic rhinoplasty. Ethnic rhinoplasty addresses non-Caucasian nasal structures using structural grafting. Surgeons use ultrasonic (Piezo) technology and 3D modeling from Vectra photographs during planning.

Rhinoplasty outcomes are documented through specific statistics:

• 93.6% satisfaction rate for primary facial symmetry
• 95% stable nasal tip projection over five years
• Less than 5% revision rate for experienced specialists
• 90% to 95% nostril symmetry after ethnic rhinoplasty

Procedures take 2 to 4 hours under general anesthesia. Most patients stay in Istanbul for 7 to 10 days for monitoring and cast removal. Tip rhinoplasty addresses only the nasal tip and takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Medical Aesthetics and Technology

The dermatology team provides non-surgical treatments for skin and hair health. Exosome Therapy and PRP repair hair follicles and reduce shedding. For body shaping, CoolSculpting freezes fat while Emsculpt NEO builds muscle mass.

The facility has several recognized aesthetic platforms:

• Ultherapy and Endolift for non-surgical lifting
• BBL HERO and Scarlet X (radiofrequency microneedling)
• Fotona LipLase and Fractional Laser systems
• EMFACE for needle-free facial toning

Dermal fillers include hyaluronic acid-based materials for lips, cheeks, and jawline. Specialists apply anesthetic cream 30 to 45 minutes before injection. A follow-up visit 1 to 2 weeks later allows for touch-ups if needed.

International Patient Coordination

Doku Medical Center offers all-inclusive travel packages for international guests. These cover airport transfers and transport between hotel and clinic. Patients stay in four-star or five-star hotels near the facility.

Multilingual coordinators assist from the first online consultation. Doctors review clinical history and photos before patients travel. After returning home, patients receive lifetime support and follow-up guidance.
