- At the clinic's price without markups
- with full doctor support
Everyone knows Istanbul does great plastic surgery. Yearly Turkey sees over 553,000 aesthetic surgeries, with Istanbul leading the charge, especially for facial procedures like rhinoplasty, which topped 83,000 nationwide (Statista). What most people don’t know is that there’s a small, very exclusive circle of surgeons who quietly handle the majority of high-profile cases: actors, models, CEOs, royalty from the Gulf. These are the doctors who get booked months in advance, who rarely advertise, and whose waiting rooms you won’t find on the usual medical-tourism websites. This article is about them, how to reach them, and why right now is probably the easiest time in years to get on their schedule. No fluff, no endless lists, just the names that actually matter in 2025.
And the good news? You don’t have to hunt them down yourself. Over the past 9 years Experts Medical has accompanied more than 12,000 patients, watched thousands of results, and learned exactly who delivers the kind of work that makes people stop and stare (in a good way). That shortlist is ready for you right now.

1. Prof. Ercan Karacaoglu
Prof. Ercan Karacaoglu operates at the intersection of precision and artistry in Istanbul’s competitive plastic surgery landscape. Based at Memorial Hospital, he handles a high volume of international patients seeking natural-looking breast work and complex revisions. His approach leans heavily on preoperative 3D planning and intraoperative measurements. Patients notice he spends unusual time mapping implant pockets and discussing scar placement - details that matter when the goal is a result that looks untouched rather than “done.”
He moves efficiently in the operating room yet refuses to rush tissue handling. Surgeons who have observed him note the calm rhythm: careful dissection under magnification, layered closure with fine sutures, and a preference for internal support techniques that reduce visible scarring. For body contouring, he combines power-assisted liposuction with targeted fat transfer, especially in revision BBL cases where previous work left irregularities. The feedback from European and Middle Eastern patients consistently highlights quick recovery and the absence of that tell-tale “overfilled” appearance.

2. Dr. Abdulkadir Goksel
Dr. Abdulkadir Goksel anchors his practice in Istanbul's Rino Istanbul Center, where functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty converge under one roof. Drawing from his dual expertise in otorhinolaryngology and facial plastics, he prioritizes airflow dynamics alongside aesthetics, often integrating septoplasty into primary procedures to sidestep future revisions. International patients value his methodical consultations, which include digital simulations and airflow assessments, yielding complication rates below 1.5% for primary cases. His center's setup - equipped with in-house imaging and a dedicated recovery wing - streamlines the process for those crossing borders, minimizing downtime in a city that never slows.
In the operating room, Dr. Goksel employs preservation rhinoplasty techniques, preserving nasal ligaments to maintain tip support and reduce swelling timelines to under two weeks for most. Peers at recent European congresses, where he chairs sessions, commend his cadaver-based teaching on dorsal hump reduction without over-resection, a nuance that preserves ethnic features in diverse patient profiles. For revisions, he favors spreader grafts harvested autologously, addressing asymmetries from prior surgeries with precision that borders on reconstructive artistry. This focus on longevity over trends draws repeat referrals from as far as Moscow and Venezuela, where natural integration trumps exaggeration.

3. Dr. Metin Kerem
Dr. Metin Kerem operates from Orion Surgery Center, focusing exclusively on complex aesthetic and post-bariatric contouring cases. He is particularly recognized for managing secondary breast deformities and extensive body lifts after massive weight loss, routinely combining circumferential abdominoplasty with auto-augmentation flaps to restore volume without implants. His approach to facial surgery emphasizes deep-plane techniques with minimal skin undermining, achieving sustained midface elevation while preserving natural expression. Patients with prior unsatisfactory results elsewhere form a significant portion of his practice, drawn by his systematic revision protocols that incorporate acellular matrices and internal suspension systems.
He works with endoscopic assistance for deep-plane face and neck lifts, preserving ligamentous attachments and repositioning fat compartments to achieve durable midface elevation with minimal skin tension. For rhinoplasty he favors structural techniques with septal extension grafts and diced-cartilage fascia wraps, particularly in thick-skinned patients where tip definition is challenging. The combination of meticulous planning and reproducible outcomes has made his clinic a primary destination for patients seeking correction of previous unsatisfactory surgeries performed elsewhere.

4. Dr. Selcuk Aytac
Dr. Selcuk Aytac directs body contouring operations at Estetik International Clinic in Istanbul, where he concentrates on high-definition liposculpture and fat redistribution for athletes and post-weight-loss patients. He integrates ultrasound-assisted lipolysis with micro-cannulas to define rectus abdominis shadows and oblique lines, often layering harvested fat into gluteal regions for enhanced projection without synthetic fillers. In mommy makeovers, his protocol merges fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty with vertical scar minimization, addressing diastasis recti through plication reinforced by mesh in high-risk recurrence cases. Revision rhinoplasties under his care target over-resected bridges with onlay grafts from conchal cartilage, restoring airflow while refining ethnic nasal bases common among his Central Asian clientele.
During procedures, Dr. Aytac sequences Brazilian butt lifts with patient-positioned fat harvesting from multiple zones, employing centrifugation protocols to boost adipocyte viability and layering injections radially to mitigate embolism risks. His post-bariatric skin excisions favor vertical medial thigh lifts with adductor preservation, preventing lymphatic disruptions that plague circumferential methods. Mammoplasties incorporate dual-plane implant placement with galaflex scaffolds for superior pole fullness, particularly in thin envelopes prone to rippling.

5. Dr. Sait Bircan
Dr. Sait Bircan performs all hair transplant procedures personally at Dr. Bircan Hair Transplant Clinic in Istanbul, limiting daily operations to two or three cases to maintain meticulous control over every phase. He is known for unshaven FUE and DHI techniques that allow patients with longer hair to undergo transplantation without visible donor-area shaving, an approach he developed and patented. Graft extraction is carried out with motorized punches calibrated to scalp elasticity, while implantation follows strict angle and depth protocols to replicate natural growth direction. His clinic attracts a large number of medical tourists seeking dense frontal restoration or correction of poorly executed previous transplants.
During surgery, Dr. Bircan uses custom-cut sapphire blades for recipient slits and choi implanters for direct placement, techniques that reduce tissue trauma and speed healing. He routinely combines PRP with the graft suspension and performs platelet-rich plasma injections during the procedure to support early graft survival. Beard-to-scalp transfers and eyebrow reconstructions form a significant part of his practice, with particular emphasis on single-hair units for soft hairline feathering. Patients consistently note minimal post-operative crusting and the ability to resume social activities within days, a result of his refined aftercare protocol and limited daily caseload.
- Package price: hair transplant from 3000 EUR

6. Dr. Safak Aktar
Dr. Safak Aktar executes precision rhinoplasties at Medicana Hospitals in Istanbul, employing open-structure approaches with septal cartilage columella struts to fortify tip projection in ethnic noses prone to drooping. He addresses dorsal irregularities through controlled rasping and spreader grafts, minimizing osteotomies for faster edema resolution in patients from Central Europe and the Balkans. Mammoplasties under his direction favor submuscular dual-plane placements with textured implants, incorporating precise pocket dissection to avert animation deformities, while reductions utilize vertical scar techniques with inferior pedicle preservation for nipple-areolar viability. His liposuction cases integrate power-assisted cannulas with tumescent solutions for circumferential torso refinement, often combined with fat grafting to smooth transition zones in post-partum figures.
Dr. Aktar deploys endoscopic guidance for facelifts, elevating SMAS via extended sub-SMAS dissection to counter jowl laxity without platysma transection, a method honed through Balkan congress presentations. Blepharoplasty procedures involve transconjunctival fat repositioning with levator adjustments for subtle lid elevation, reducing ectropion risks in older demographics. Fat injections draw from his microsurgery training, with harvest via low-pressure syringes and layered microdroplet delivery to facial hollows, yielding volumetric corrections that endure beyond six months. This repertoire of corrective facial and body enhancements, supported by over 25 publications on flap reconstructions and nasal grafting, caters to a steady influx of European revisions seeking refined, scar-minimal outcomes.

7. Dr. Yurdakul Ilker Manavbasi
Dr. Yurdakul Ilker Manavbasi conducts high-volume body contouring at Orion Surgery Center in Istanbul, where he integrates VASER-assisted liposculpture with selective fat transfer for male six-pack etching and female hourglass refinement. He routinely performs megaliposuctions exceeding five liters, employing vibration amplification to emulsify fibrous adipose in revision cases, followed by lymphatic-preserving closure to accelerate return to activity within 48 hours. Brazilian butt lifts under his protocol prioritize superficial fat layering over deep intramuscular deposition, reducing vascular complications while enhancing lateral projection in athletic builds. His breast surgeries emphasize glandular-sparing reductions with auto-augmentation for ptotic mastopexies, preserving vascularity in large-volume excisions common among post-lactation patients.
In the operating room, Dr. Manavbasi deploys piezosurgery for precise osteocartilaginous reshaping in functional rhinoplasties, incorporating batten grafts from auricular sources to buttress weak lateral walls without external scarring. Deep facelifts involve extended SMAS undermining with vector-specific suspension, countering midface descent in mature profiles while avoiding the pulled appearance of superficial techniques. Penis enlargement procedures combine suspensory ligamentolysis with pubic lipectomy and hyaluronic volumization, yielding measurable girth gains that integrate naturally with surrounding tissues. These multifaceted enhancements, informed by his proprietary single-stage nasal refinement methods presented at Italian symposia, serve a global clientele from Scandinavia to the Middle East pursuing balanced, athletic aesthetics.

8. Dr. Celal Alioglu
Dr. Celal Alioglu practices at Medicana Hospitals in Istanbul, where he concentrates on harmonious facial and body transformations that respect individual anatomy. Trained under Dr. Raul Gonzalez in Brazil, he brings South American contouring principles to Turkish patients, especially in gluteal augmentation and high-definition liposuction. His rhinoplasties favor closed techniques with tip sutures and minimal dorsal work, ideal for younger patients seeking subtle refinement rather than dramatic change. Breast augmentations are performed through inframammary incisions with dual-plane pocket creation, allowing natural movement and minimal visible scarring even in small-breasted women.
Dr. Alioglu uses power-assisted liposuction combined with body-jet water assistance to gently separate fat cells before removal, reducing bruising and enabling same-day discharge in most cases. Abdominoplasties include rectus plication with permanent barbed sutures and selective liposculpture of the flanks, creating a defined waistline without aggressive skin undermining. Buttock corrections often combine liposuction of the lower back and saddlebags with moderate-volume fat transfer for a lifted, rounded appearance. His calm, methodical style and clear pre-operative markings reassure patients, many of whom travel from Germany and the UK specifically for his understated, elegant results.
- Package price: Rhinoplasty from 3500 EUR; Breast augmentation from 3800 EUR; Liposuction from 4100 EUR

9. Dr. Engin Ocal
Dr. Engin Ocal works at Doku Medikal in Istanbul, where he has built a reputation for fixing noses and eyes that other surgeons have left complicated. Patients who arrive with breathing problems after previous rhinoplasties often leave his clinic breathing freely again because he rebuilds the internal structure using rib cartilage when the septum is too damaged. His breast work follows the same careful logic: he prefers vertical-scar reductions that keep the nipple feeling natural, and when women want larger breasts he places implants through the areola so the scar practically disappears within a year. Many of his cases are revisions - someone else’s work that needs gentle correction - and he never rushes them.
What sets Dr. Ocal apart is the way he plans every detail long before the surgery starts. He spends extra time drawing on the skin with the patient awake, checking symmetry from every angle, and photographing the face in natural light. When the day comes, he uses tiny instruments borrowed from microsurgery to protect nerves and blood vessels, especially around the eyes. Upper and lower blepharoplasties are done through the inside of the lid whenever possible, so there is no visible line afterward. Necks are tightened with small stitches under the muscle rather than big cuts, and the result looks like the patient simply slept better for ten years.
- Package price: Rhinoplasty from 3,700 EUR; Breast augmentation from 4,400 EUR; Facelift from 6,800 EUR; Upper blepharoplasty 2,800 EUR; Full blepharoplasty (4 lids) 3,500 EUR
- Experts Medical rating: 4.9

- Accreditation: European & Turkish Board Certified in Plastic Surgery
- Hotel and transfer: Included
- Techniques used: Rib cartilage reconstruction, transconjunctival blepharoplasty, periareolar augmentation, platysma-plication neck lift
- Years of experience: 15


10. Dr. Akin Zengin
Dr. Akin Zengin practices out of Medical Park Clinic in Istanbul, where his dual training in ENT and plastics shines through in procedures that fix both how you look and how you breathe. With a fellowship under his belt at Oregon Health Sciences University, he brings an American polish to Turkish noses - think precise ultrasonic cuts that reshape without the usual bruising parade. Otoplasties are a quiet favorite; he reshapes protruding ears in kids and adults alike using non-absorbable sutures tucked behind the cartilage, so they stay put through growth spurts or beach vacations. Patients from the Gulf often seek him for blepharoplasties that blend Asian double-lid creation with Western crease definition, all without that pulled-taut aftermath.
Dr. Zengin starts every consultation with a mirror and a marker, sketching possibilities while chatting about sinus woes or hooded lids, because in his world, aesthetics without function feels half-done. Mini-facelifts get a light touch: he lifts the malar area through tiny temporal incisions, pairing it with endoscopic brow work to open up tired eyes without overdoing the forehead freeze. Neck lipo follows with micro-cannulas that hug the platysma, leaving you with a sharper jawline and no telltale hollows. It's this layered thinking - ears that don't stick out, noses that don't whistle - that keeps his schedule packed with folks who've tried quick fixes abroad and want the version that lasts.
- Package price: Rhinoplasty from 2,600 EUR
- Experts Medical rating: 4.6

11. Dr. Ergin Er
Dr. Ergin Er is a senior plastic surgeon at Istanbul Aesthetic Center, recognized for his systematic approach to complex aesthetic and reconstructive challenges. He specializes in high-tension abdominoplasty combined with extensive liposculpture, achieving stable diastasis correction and refined waistline definition through progressive tension closure and selective fat redistribution. In rhinoplasty, he employs open-structure techniques with autologous cartilage reconstruction – including septal extension grafts, spreader flaps, and columellar struts – to ensure lasting tip support and dorsal harmony in both primary and revision cases.
His facial rejuvenation protocol centers on extended SMAS dissection with precise vector repositioning, complemented by deep fat compartment restoration and transconjunctival blepharoplasty featuring arcus marginalis release for natural periorbital refinement. Breast surgery follows anatomical principles: dual-plane augmentation with cohesive silicone implants for natural movement and short-scar mastopexies with auto-augmentation when volume preservation is prioritized. Large-volume liposculpture is performed under strict tumescent technique with ultrasound guidance when indicated, consistently delivering smooth, balanced contours.
- Package price: Breast augmentation from 4,500 EUR
