Facial Surgery and Rhinoplasty

The clinic specializes in closed rhinoplasty. All incisions stay hidden inside the nostrils, so there is no external scarring. Piezo ultrasonic tools reduce post-op bruising. Surgery takes 1.5 to 3 hours. Most patients stay one night and return to social activities within 14 days.

Facial rejuvenation options include surgical and non-surgical methods:

• Deep plane facelift – repositions the SMAS layer and ligaments as one block
• Short-scar mini facelift for moderate skin sagging
• Upper and lower blepharoplasty for eyelid correction
• Lip lift and chin liposuction for lower face contouring

Dr. Erdal prefers the deep plane technique for most cases. It provides natural results. Non-surgical options like Botox or HIFU can delay the need for surgery. The clinic also performs septoplasty to correct breathing issues from a deviated septum.

Body Contouring and Breast Aesthetics

Body surgery focuses on liposuction and skin tightening. Surgeons use thin cannulas to reshape fat deposits in up to five body areas. Patients wear a compression garment for 6 weeks to support the new contour. Full results appear 3 to 6 months after the procedure.

Abdominoplasty is tailored to each patient's needs. A mini tummy tuck treats loose skin below the belly button. A full tummy tuck addresses muscle separation or significant tissue excess. Surgery takes 2 to 4 hours and requires a 10 to 14-day stay in Istanbul.

Breast aesthetics include augmentation, lifting, and reduction mammoplasty. For gynaecomastia (male breast enlargement), the clinic uses liposuction or direct gland excision through small 2 cm incisions. The surgical plan depends on whether the tissue is primarily fat or glandular.

Technology and Safety Standards

The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health. It also maintains ISO 9001 certification and follows JCI standards in partnered hospitals. Dr. Erdal personally conducts every consultation and follow-up. This direct model reduces communication layers between surgeon and patient.

International Patient Services

The clinic provides structured support for visitors from Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Coordination starts with a free WhatsApp video consultation to discuss surgical goals. Multilingual support is available in English, Russian, Arabic, German, and Turkish.

International services include:

• VIP airport transfers
• Accommodation at Antwell Suites Hotel
• Board-certified anesthesiologists for all surgeries
• Post-discharge WhatsApp follow-up after returning home

Patients receive a personalized recovery plan. This includes scar management with silicone gel for 6 months, so long-term monitoring continues after leaving Türkiye.
