Cataract Treatment in MEDICTERREAN®

MEDICTERREAN is a multi-specialty medical center established in 2019. It operates a specialized facility in Antalya and provides coordinated care services in Istanbul. The clinic organizes travel and treatment pathways for patients seeking plastic surgery, hair restoration, and weight-loss procedures.

Accreditations and Professional Standings

The clinic holds accreditation from ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery). Its surgical team includes members of leading professional organizations:

• European Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (ESPRAS)
• European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS)
• Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons

Surgeons at the clinic are certified by the European Board of Plastic Surgery. This confirms they meet high European standards for surgical training and practice.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Dr. Mustafa Aydinol heads the plastic surgery department with over 10 years of experience. He trained at Kocaeli University and Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascioglu City Hospital. The department performs a broad range of aesthetic procedures for the face and body:

• Breast surgery: augmentation using Motiva Round Plus implants and mastopexy (breast lift).
• Body contouring: Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using fat transfer and various abdominoplasty techniques.
• Facial surgery: rhinoplasty, facelifts, and eyelid correction.
• Masculine aesthetics: gynecomastia correction to remove excess glandular or fatty male breast tissue.

The clinic offers specialized tummy tuck variants like the Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty. This method tightens the abdominal wall both horizontally and vertically for significant skin removal. Surgeons also use the "internal bra" technique during breast lifts. It provides long-term structural support.

Hair Restoration and Regenerative Therapy

The hair department provides hair, eyebrow, and corrective transplant surgeries. It uses precise methods to improve density and natural growth:

• Sapphire FUE: sapphire blades create fine incisions for faster healing.
• DHI Gold PLUS: specialized pens allow direct implantation without pre-cut channels.
• Exosome therapy: regenerative signals stimulate hair follicles and improve scalp health.

The clinic operates an in-house laboratory that follows GMP standards. This facility produces mesenchymal stem cell-based exosomes for cellular treatments.

Weight-Loss and Bariatric Programs

MEDICTERREAN manages weight-loss pathways centered on gastric sleeve surgery. This procedure removes approximately 80% of the stomach to limit food intake. The typical program involves a 3-night hospital stay and 8 days total. Patients receive nutrition counseling and 24/7 medical monitoring to support early recovery.

International Patient Services and Aftercare

The clinic provides structured support for international travelers through 5-star hotel partnerships. Personal coordinators assist in English, German, Arabic, and Russian. Every medical package includes several recovery and logistics services:

• VIP airport and clinic transfers with a 24/7 private chauffeur.
• In-house care by qualified nursing staff available around the clock.
• Post-operative lymphatic drainage massages to reduce swelling.
• Lifetime Follow-up & Aftercare Service for long-term monitoring.

Patients receive all necessary medications for their journey and follow-up care. The clinic also maintains a 24/7 phone line with a personal manager for immediate help.
