about the clinic
Turkey,Istanbul
İstanbul Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center is located 20 km away from the Istanbul Atatürk Airport (LTBA) in a European side of the capital.
Facial plastic surgery
✓ Rhinoplasty (nose job)
A patient resorts to the procedure to get the nose of the desired shape or solve problems with breathing if any.
Doctors provide the surgery under general anesthesia for 1.5-2 hours. The nose is healing within a week, and the swelling can go away within a month after the surgery.
✓ Rhytidoplasty (facelift)
The procedure is aimed to get rid of wrinkles and crepey skin. It takes 3-5 hours and leaves no noticeable traces due to bioabsorbable sutures.
✓ Lips enlargement
Plastic surgeons make lips plumper with silicone or patient’s fat cells. Doctors provide the surgery under local anesthesia. It takes 15-30 minutes.
Body plastic surgery
✓ Mammoplasty — Breast reshaping
İstanbul Aesthetics plastic surgeons provide breast reduction, enlargement, and correction. Breast enhancement with implants is the most popular procedure. Women choose the procedure to be more self-confident and improve psychological health.
A patient decides to have teardrop (anatomic) implants or round ones. A doctor inserts the implants through the nipple incision or under the breast, so post-operative scars are hidden and hardly visible.
✓ Vaser liposuction
Vaser liposuction is among advanced fat removal techniques approved by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and FDA.
The VASER® device transmits ultrasonic waves which melt excess fat deposits and gently affect the internal tissues. They don’t damage the blood vessels, so the risk of bruising is minimal, and the recovery is faster compared with older lipo methods.
Vaser lipo fits for the abdomen, thighs, arms, and legs. The procedure takes around 1-2 hours according to the area of use. Usually, doctors perform liposuction under local anesthesia and sedation.
✓ Brazilian butt lift
A patient undergoes the procedure to get buttocks tightened and O-shaped.
Doctors remove adipose tissue from the thighs and place it in the buttocks. If a patient has not enough tissue, a surgeon inserts implants via the incision under the buttocks. The sutures are resorbed leaving no traces.
Hair transplant
A patient can choose between Sapphire FUE and DHI hair transplants at Istanbul Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center.
Sapphire FUE hair transplant
Sapphire FUE is a seamless method of hair transplant with a microsurgical instrument punch with a sapphire tip. This thin and solid tip makes getting graft (bundles of 1-4 hairs) and the transplanting easy. The operation takes 3-6 hours, depending on the area requiring the transplant.
DHI is a method similar to FUE. The only difference is in an instrument which is similar to a ballpoint pen. A hair transplant specialist “charges” hair grafts into the instrument and injects it into the scalp. The key benefit of this method is the shorter time of the hair channel making the risk of infection much less.
✓ PRP treatment for hair loss
The PRP procedure, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, aims to treat alopecia on its onset, activate hair growth and returns its healthy color and shine.
A doctor obtains platelet-rich plasma from the patient's blood. It’s a protein substance centrifuged to have no red blood cells.
It can be used as a separate treatment method or in combination with a hair transplant.

The single positive aspect of this entire process was the staff. They were wonderful. Unfortunately, my experience with the surgeon and the clinic itself was profoundly disappointing, and I'm very concerned with how my otoplasty recovery is going so far. The gap between the supportive staff and the actual medical treatment I received is hard to understand. The facility did not meet my expectations for a medical setting in any capacity. Based on this, I would absolutely not recommend this clinic to anyone considering a similar procedure.
Do not go with bookimed.com. I didn’t liked from the moment when I arrived to airport anyone wasn’t there to pick me up, you know when you arrive any place you have no internet and you can’t make any phone calls or text so night mares already start.

I was so impressed by the results
If you're considering this, here is my honest take on the experience so far. My surgeon did excellent work on my extended tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair; he was present during recovery checks and clearly explained the scar placement. I’m feeling better than expected early on. The financial aspect was a major factor. If I had the same procedure done in the US, I would have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results. All transfers were provided and there were no additional expenses.
However, be aware that some staff speak little English, and I frequently smelled cigarette smoke in the corridor. I also had to do my own online research for post-op directions. My coordinating physician did reach out while I was in the hospital and back at the hotel. My advice: only travel alone if you are very strong emotionally and physically, as it was a challenging experience. It felt like another c-section! Pack a good hospital bag with a phone charger and universal adaptor, toiletries, books, and a neck pillow.
Photo of me is my Before. I'm one week in recovery, so no After photo yet.
My surgeon did excellent work and the nursing staff kept close post-op care of me. I appreciated all of the provided transfers to and from the airport and between the clinic and my hotel. The whole experience from start to finish was a great value for the price. If I had the same procedure done in the US (tummy tuck, abdominal muscle repair, and lipo), I have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results one week after surgery.
Please be aware that some of the medical staff do not speak much or any English, so they provide support rather silently. Turkish people are also fairly serious, so while efficient and thorough, I was not coddled or babied. Also, there's also smoking allowed in the nurses' lounge or illegal smoking in the stairwell because I frequently smelled smoke in the corridor outside my recovery room while completing my post-op walking. Lastly, I would recommend the clinical staff provide more post-op directions for safe and expedient recovery. Everything I've learned was from my own online research.

My surgeon, Dr
My surgeon, Dr. Ergin Er, was fantastic and I would highly recommend him—he was honest about realistic results and explained the scar placement clearly before my 360 VASER lipo and full tummy tuck with muscle repair. Having seen my scar it looks perfect so far. There were no additional expenses on top of what I paid. The nurses were wonderfully friendly and the clinic food was lovely - they even had food for my friend who came with me!
The clinic stayed in touch constantly and provided a clear aftercare guide, making it easy to know what to do. While there was a slight language barrier with some nurses, it was never a problem as they used translation apps to communicate.
My advice: don’t bring many clothes - you won’t need them, but do bring comfy shoes and clothes with pockets for your two drains. And make sure to get up and walk around as it aids healing and you will feel better.
I had a 360° VASER liposuction procedure, tummy tuck and abdominal muscle repair, and overall I’ve had a really positive experience from start to finish\.
From the very beginning, Bookimed answered every question I had and were incredibly helpful\. No matter what time I messaged, someone was always there to answer my queries and put my mind at ease\.
The transfers between the airport, hotel and hospital were excellent, and the instructions for where to go and what to expect were very clear\. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast each morning was lovely\.
My coordinator, Ege, was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process\. He was always at the end of a message whenever I needed him, kept in constant contact, explained everything clearly, and was always able to reassure me whenever I felt anxious\.
At the hospital, I met the anaesthesiologist, who was kind, professional and explained everything clearly\. My surgeon, Dr Ergin Er, was equally reassuring\. He carefully went through the procedure with me, completed all of the markings and made sure I understood what would happen before surgery\.
I’ll admit I became quite emotional as I was being taken down to theatre, but the nurses were incredibly kind\. They held my hand, comforted me and made me feel safe, which meant a great deal\.
When I woke up after surgery, I was looked after wonderfully\. The nursing staff were attentive throughout my recovery and were always there to help whenever I needed anything\. Even the hospital food was surprisingly lovely\. My mum stayed with me throughout my time in hospital, and she was provided with meals as well, which was a lovely touch\. Before we were discharged, we were both even given breakfast and lunch, which was much appreciated\.
There was occasionally a slight language barrier with some of the nurses, but it was never a real problem\. Most spoke good English, and anyone who wasn’t confident simply used a translation app, so communication was always possible\.
Throughout my recovery, Ege continued to check in regularly and made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do at each stage\.
Although I’m still healing, my scar already looks very neat and tidy, and from everything I’ve seen so far, I’m extremely pleased with the results of my surgery\.
I would happily recommend Bookimed, Ege, Istanbul Aesthetics Centre and Dr Ergin Er to anyone considering cosmetic surgery in Turkey\. Travelling abroad for surgery is a big decision, but I felt supported every step of the way and wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again.
Genuinely I can’t think of anything.
It’s such a massive decision and the whole time I had full confidence in what was happening and the staff.

So far, I'm feeling better than expected
The conversation with my surgeon before the procedure put me at ease. He was honest about a realistic final cup size and took his time to explain scar placement and the healing process, measuring and marking everything carefully. They performed a breast reduction and lift with FNG, removing a significant 2.7 lbs per breast. So far, I'm feeling better than expected. Everything went smoothly. Be aware that you'll need to purchase your own medication for after you leave the clinic—painkillers, vitamins, and scar cream were all things the doctor advised. A practical tip for anyone preparing for this: definitely bring stool softeners and use them after surgery, as the medication can make you constipated.
Dr Murat Yaman is amazing! Everything went smoothly at the Lokman Hekim Istanbul Hospital. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the coordinator was great too, so helpful. Great experience. Highly recommend

My surgeon was excellent
I’ll be honest, this recovery has been more physically demanding and difficult than I anticipated so far. That said, I feel good about my decision. The surgery was liposuction with gland excision on my chest, and my surgeon was excellent. He was honest about realistic results and clearly explained the technique, the compression vest, and the recovery period. The clinic staff stayed in touch afterward, which was helpful. The only unexpected expense was for food, as the partner hotel makes you take the more expensive room service. My main advice: don’t do it alone if possible. Having someone would’ve made a lot of things easier and it won’t cost you more. Also, bring a bag with everything you need and put it on the table; I really struggled getting around at first.
Coordinator (Ege) is very nice and helpful, nice guy. Dr Ergin was also very relaxed, calm and knowledgeable, so you are put at ease very quickly. You get your own room, and if you have a partner come they are full supported and have a sofa bed there too (I was solo and would recommend not to do it solo)
Really only 2 negatives otherwise very good - Right at the start when the cannula was put in, I told them I was bad with needles / blood / vein related activity, but they didn’t understand. So I had to lay down, but still needed to sign the anaesthesia documents. After 5 mins I got up, went light headed, tried to get back to the bed, past out and banged my head on something as I went down and woke up panicked on the floor alone. This was a translation issue, but it was kind of a shaking experience right at the start. The other was the sleep sedative not working for 2-3 hours, not much sleep nor pain relief at that point.
