About the clinic

Dimple creation surgery at Memorial Göztepe Hospital in Istanbul provides a way to get permanent cheek dimples through a quick surgical method. The procedure is performed by Op. Dr. Süleyman ALİYAZICIOĞLU, a specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery. This hospital was the first in Turkey to receive JCI accreditation, which confirms its commitment to international safety standards.

The Surgical Method

This surgery creates a natural-looking depression in the cheek muscle. The doctor works through the inside of the mouth to avoid any external scars on the face. A small incision is made on the inner cheek to anchor the skin to the underlying muscle. Once healed, the dimple typically appears when the patient smiles or makes facial expressions. Because the work happens inside the mouth, there is no visible sign of surgery on the outer skin.

Expertise and Safety

Op. Dr. Süleyman ALİYAZICIOĞLU leads the treatment at Memorial Göztepe. The hospital is part of the Memorial Health Group, which has over 25 years of experience in the medical field. The facility also holds ISO and LEED Platinum certifications, showing a focus on high-quality care and modern infrastructure. Patients benefit from a medical environment that follows strict global protocols for elective cosmetic procedures.

What to Expect

The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Since it is a minor surgery, the recovery time is relatively short. Most patients can return to their daily routines soon after the treatment. The main result is a permanent facial feature that adds character to the smile.

Nothing could have been better

My biggest concern was traveling alone, especially after having to make a last-minute booking. I booked on the Friday and flew to Istanbul on the Sunday, but being a lone traveller was not a problem at all. The Memorial was a lovely hospital. My surgeon was fantastic; he was honest about the right Motiva implant size for my body, showed photos of similar cases, and explained the risks of combining an anchor lift with implants. The whole process was great from start to finish. I'm feeling better than expected, and the end results are better than I ever could have expected. Nothing could have been better. The only additional expense was my discharge medication, which wasn’t even £7. I have been so pleased, I will hopefully be booking for a tummy tuck next year.

The whole process was great from start to finish. I only booked on the Friday as I was having big concerns about the surgery I had previously booked in April 2026, for September 2026, through another company. Booked on Friday, flew out to Istanbul on the Sunday and flying back home today. The Memorial was a lovely hospital and I couldn’t have asked to be looked after better. I was a lone traveller, but this was not a problem at all. My surgeon was fantastic and the end results are better than I ever could have expected. I have been so pleased with my experience, I will hopefully be booking for a tummy tuck next year. If you are thinking about surgery in Istanbul, I can honestly recommend using Bookimed.

Nothing could have been better, my whole experience was excellent.

my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected

If you're thinking about this procedure, I'd tell you that my recovery from reconstructive vaginoplasty has been much better than expected. The whole process felt very supported. It was so helpful that my surgeon took the time to explain the dilation schedule clearly, which made me feel confident about aftercare. The clinic staff have also stayed in touch since I left. Do be aware that you'll need to pay for medications you take with you from the hospital. A final tip: bring your own sanitary towels and be sure to budget extra money for travel, food, and sightseeing, as hotel stays generally only cover breakfast.

Great fast response from Bookimed very helpful information and hospital referral liliia was very helpful in giving me information and guidance
