Istanbul Aesthetic Center at a Glance

Clinic Overview

 

Istanbul Aesthetic Center (IAC) is a hospital-based aesthetic clinic located in the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul. The clinic specialises in surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments performed within a fully equipped hospital environment that follows international safety and hygiene standards.

IAC serves patients from Europe, North America, the Middle East, and North Africa, and holds an official international medical tourism certification. Treatments are performed by board-certified plastic surgeons supported by anaesthesia specialists, nursing staff, and multilingual patient coordinators, with all surgical procedures conducted in accredited operating rooms following comprehensive pre-operative assessments.

Treatments and Services

Istanbul Aesthetic Center (IAC) in Istanbul provides procedures across four clinical categories: hair transplantation, plastic and reconstructive surgery, body contouring, and medical aesthetics. The following is an introductory scope of services; clinical detail for each procedure is provided in the Core Treatments section below.

Hair Transplantation

• FUE Hair Transplantation is a minimally invasive procedure that extracts individual hair follicles from a donor area using micro-punches and implants them in thinning or bald areas, indicated for patients with androgenetic alopecia and an adequate donor site.
• Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation is a variant of FUE that uses sapphire crystal blades to create recipient channels, aiming to reduce tissue trauma and improve graft survival.
• DHI Hair Transplantation (Direct Hair Implantation) is a technique using the Choi implanter pen to simultaneously create recipient sites and insert follicles without pre-made incisions, suited to patients seeking precise density and natural hairline control.
• Beard and Eyebrow Transplantation procedures apply FUE or DHI methodology to facial hair restoration for patients with sparse or absent beard or eyebrow growth.

Plastic and Facial Surgery

• Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the nasal bone and cartilage structure using open or closed techniques, indicated for patients seeking improved nasal aesthetics or functional breathing correction.
• Face Lifting (Rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that lifts and tightens underlying facial tissues and repositions skin to reduce sagging, jowls, and deep wrinkles.
• Neck Lifting Surgery addresses drooping neck skin and poor jawline definition through platysma muscle tightening, liposuction, and skin redraping.

Breast and Body Surgery

• Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses silicone or saline implants, or autologous fat transfer, to increase breast volume or improve breast shape.
• Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening the underlying muscle wall, indicated for patients with post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss laxity.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) transfers autologous fat from liposuction donor areas to the buttocks to increase volume without prosthetic implants.
• Gynecomastia Surgery reduces enlarged male breast tissue through liposuction, glandular excision, or both.
• VASER Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure that uses ultrasound energy to emulsify fat before gentle suctioning, preserving surrounding tissue.
• Arm Lift and Leg Lifting Surgery remove excess skin from the upper arms and thighs following significant weight loss.

Medical Aesthetics (Non-Surgical)

• Botulinum Toxin Application (Botox) is an injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles including frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead lines.
• Laser Hair Removal uses concentrated light energy to damage hair follicles and achieve long-term hair reduction across body and facial areas.
• Chemical Peeling applies controlled acidic solutions to resurface the skin, indicated for acne marks, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines.
• Light Filling and other dermal filler applications restore facial volume and improve skin texture. 
• Dental Aesthetics services are available at IAC.

Core Treatments in Detail

FUE and Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation

• Category: Surgical (Minimally Invasive)
• Technique: Hair follicles are extracted individually and implanted using Sapphire blades, which create precise recipient-site incisions with minimal tissue trauma.
• Treatment Time: Usually completed in a single day, depending on graft numbers.
• Sessions: Typically one procedure, with additional sessions only if required.
• Best For: Adults with male or female pattern hair loss, receding hairlines, or crown thinning who have sufficient donor hair.
• Not Suitable For: Patients with inadequate donor hair, active scalp conditions, certain bleeding-related medications, or unrealistic expectations.
• Recovery: Most social activities can be resumed within two weeks. Temporary shedding of transplanted hair is normal during the early recovery phase.
• Results: New hair growth generally begins within a few months, with full results typically visible after 12 months.
• Clinical Notes: Sapphire blade technology is designed to enhance precision, minimise tissue damage, and support optimal graft survival. Transplanted follicles are generally permanent, although natural hair loss may continue in untreated areas.

DHI Hair Transplantation

• Category: Surgical (minimally invasive)
• Technique: Choi implanter pen eliminates the need for pre-made recipient site incisions; follicles are loaded and implanted in a single step
• Treatment Time: Variable by graft count
• Number of Sessions: Typically one session
• Best Suited For: Patients prioritising hairline precision and natural appearance; patients with partial hair loss who need density added to existing hair without shaving the recipient area
• Not Suitable For: Patients with insufficient donor area; patients requiring very large graft sessions where DHI speed may reduce graft viability
• Recovery: Potentially shorter healing window than standard FUE; social activities typically resume after 14 days
• Results Onset: New hair growth expected within several months; full results at approximately 12 months
• Results Duration: Permanent for transplanted follicles where loss is stable
• Key Clinical Notes: DHI avoids pre-made channel incisions, which may reduce graft handling time outside the body; it is generally considered more technique-dependent and slower per graft than standard FUE

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job)

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Open or closed rhinoplasty techniques are used to reshape nasal structures, improve proportions, or correct functional breathing issues.
• Treatment Time: Approximately 1–3 hours.
• Sessions: Usually a single procedure, with revision surgery performed only when necessary.
• Best For: Adults seeking to improve the appearance, symmetry, size, or function of the nose after facial growth is complete.
• Not Suitable For: Patients with active nasal infections, certain medical conditions, unresolved bleeding risks, or unrealistic expectations.
• Recovery: Swelling and bruising typically improve within 1–2 weeks, while final refinement develops gradually over several months.
• Results: Early cosmetic improvements are visible within weeks, with final results usually seen after 6–12 months.
• Clinical Notes: Rhinoplasty provides long-lasting structural changes. Temporary swelling, especially around the nasal tip, is a normal part of the healing process and should be expected during recovery.

VASER Liposuction

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Ultrasound-assisted VASER technology liquefies targeted fat before removal, helping to contour the body with precision. Post-treatment VelaShape III sessions may be used to support skin tightening and recovery.
• Treatment Time: Approximately 1–2 hours, depending on the treatment areas.
• Sessions: Usually a single procedure, followed by recommended post-operative recovery treatments.
• Best For: Adults close to their ideal weight who want to reduce stubborn fat deposits and improve body contours.
• Not Suitable For: Patients seeking significant weight loss, those with poor skin elasticity, active infections, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions that increase surgical risk.
• Recovery: Most patients return to light activities within a few days. Compression garments are typically required during recovery.
• Results: Initial contour improvements become visible within weeks, with final body shaping usually seen after 6–8 weeks.
• Clinical Notes: VASER technology is designed to target fat while minimising impact on surrounding tissues. Results can be long-lasting when supported by a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Liposuction of fat from donor areas (typically abdomen, flanks, or thighs); fat purification and preparation; layered fat injection into the buttocks using cannulas
• Treatment Time: 2–4 hours
• Number of Sessions: Single procedure; additional fat transfer possible at a later stage if required
• Best Suited For: Patients desiring natural volumetric buttock enhancement with adequate donor fat in adjacent areas; patients who prefer autologous tissue over implants
• Not Suitable For: Patients with insufficient donor fat; patients unable to avoid sustained direct pressure on the buttocks during early recovery; patients outside the clinically appropriate BMI range 
• Recovery: Return to social activities within 1 week; compression corset required for 3 weeks; direct sustained pressure on buttocks should be avoided for approximately 6–8 weeks post-procedure
• Results Onset: Initial volume visible immediately; final shape settles as swelling resolves over 6–8 weeks
• Results Duration: Integrated transferred fat is generally permanent; a proportion is typically reabsorbed (absorption rates vary by individual and technique)
• Key Clinical Notes: BBL carries specific anaesthesia and positioning risks; all procedures at IAC are performed under the supervision of specialist anaesthesia physicians with mandatory pre-operative evaluation

Breast Augmentation

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Implant-based (silicone or saline prostheses placed subglandularly or submuscularly) or autologous fat transfer
• Number of Sessions: Single procedure
• Best Suited For: Women with completed breast development seeking volume increase, shape improvement, or symmetry correction; patients experiencing post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss volume loss
• Not Suitable For: Pregnant or breastfeeding patients; patients with active breast conditions; patients with unrealistic expectations regarding implant feel or permanence
• Recovery: Specialised surgical bra required for 1 month; no heavy physical activity or sport for 2 months; final breast shape typically settles at approximately 2 months post-procedure
• Results Onset: Volume change immediately visible post-procedure; final aesthetic result at 6–8 weeks
• Results Duration: Implants are long-lasting but not considered permanent devices; routine monitoring recommended; replacement may be required over time
• Key Clinical Notes: Implant type, profile, and pocket placement are determined at consultation based on individual anatomy, chest wall dimensions, and patient goals

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Excess abdominal skin and fat are removed, and weakened abdominal muscles are tightened through a low incision placed below the bikini line.
• Treatment Time: Approximately 2 hours.
• Sessions: Single surgical procedure.
• Best For: Adults with loose abdominal skin, stretched abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), or persistent abdominal bulging that does not improve with diet and exercise.
• Not Suitable For: Patients planning future pregnancies, those who have not yet reached a stable weight, or individuals with active infections in the treatment area.
• Recovery: Most patients can resume light activities within a week. Compression garments are typically worn for several weeks, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for 6–8 weeks.
• Results: Improved abdominal contour becomes more visible as swelling subsides, with final results usually seen within 2–3 months.
• Clinical Notes: A tummy tuck can correct excess skin and muscle separation that cannot be addressed with liposuction alone. Results are generally long-lasting when body weight remains stable.

Gynecomastia Surgery (Male Breast Reduction)

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Liposuction for fatty gynecomastia; periareolar or natural crease excision for glandular or skin-excess gynecomastia; nipple repositioning where anatomically required
• Treatment Time: 1–1.5 hours
• Number of Sessions: Single procedure
• Best Suited For: Men with stable gynecomastia that has not responded to conservative management and for whom the condition causes physical or psychological discomfort
• Not Suitable For: Patients with gynecomastia caused by an active, treatable underlying condition not yet addressed; patients currently taking medications known to cause gynecomastia that cannot be safely discontinued
• Recovery: Return to social activities and light work within 2–3 days; compression garment recommended
• Results Onset: Chest contour improvement visible as swelling subsides over 2–4 weeks
• Results Duration: Long-lasting where the underlying hormonal or pharmacological cause has resolved
• Key Clinical Notes: Pre-operative evaluation should exclude active hormonal pathology; patients should be informed that excision may leave a discreet periareolar scar

Face Lifting (Rhytidectomy)

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Incisions along the hairline and around the ears; SMAS repositioning and tightening; fat redistribution; excess skin removal and skin redraping
• Treatment Time: 3–5 hours
• Number of Sessions: Single procedure
• Best Suited For: Adults with visible facial sagging, jowl formation, deep facial creases, or loss of facial volume and definition who are in good general health
• Not Suitable For: Patients with significant medical comorbidities that increase anaesthetic risk; patients with unrealistic expectations about ageing reversal; patients who smoke (smoking cessation required pre-operatively)
• Recovery: Facial bandages removed at 2–3 days; bruising and swelling typically resolve within 7–10 days; full tissue settling at 3–6 months
• Results Onset: Presentable at 2–3 weeks; full result at 3–6 months
• Results Duration: Results typically last several years; natural ageing continues
• Key Clinical Notes: Face lifting addresses structural tissue laxity; non-surgical treatments such as filler or Botox are complementary but do not produce equivalent correction of significant tissue descent

Botulinum Toxin Application (Botox)

• Category: Non-surgical injectable
• Technique: Intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin into specific facial muscle groups using fine-gauge needles following facial anatomy evaluation
• Treatment Time: Approximately 15 minutes
• Number of Sessions: Single treatment; repeat sessions required every 3–6 months to maintain results
• Best Suited For: Adults with dynamic wrinkles in the upper and mid-face seeking a non-surgical option with no downtime
• Not Suitable For: Pregnant or breastfeeding patients; patients with neuromuscular disorders; patients with known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or formulation components
• Recovery: Immediate return to normal activities; full effect visible at 7–10 days post-injection
• Results Onset: Muscle relaxation begins at 3–5 days; peak effect at 7–10 days
• Results Duration: Effects typically persist for 3–6 months; repeat treatment required to maintain outcome
• Key Clinical Notes: Botulinum toxin addresses dynamic wrinkles only; static wrinkles are better addressed with dermal fillers or resurfacing; dosage and injection points must be individualised to avoid asymmetry or ptosis

Laser Hair Removal

• Category: Non-surgical laser
• Technique: Laser energy delivered across the target area; wavelength selected according to hair colour, skin type, and treatment area
• Treatment Time: 5 minutes to 1 hour depending on area size
• Number of Sessions: 4–8 sessions typically required for optimal long-term reduction; sessions spaced at intervals aligned with the hair growth cycle
• Best Suited For: Adults with unwanted hair on face, underarms, legs, bikini area, or other body sites; results generally more pronounced with contrast between hair pigment and skin tone
• Not Suitable For: Pregnant patients; patients with epilepsy, serious cardiac conditions, or diabetes; patients with active skin disease at the treatment site; patients with very light or white hair
• Recovery: Immediate return to daily activities; mild redness at the treatment site may persist briefly post-session
• Results Onset: Reduction visible after initial sessions; significant long-term reduction after the full course
• Results Duration: Long-term reduction rather than permanent elimination; maintenance sessions may be required
• Key Clinical Notes: Pre-treatment sun avoidance and post-treatment sun protection are important to reduce the risk of pigmentation changes; contraindications must be reviewed prior to each session

Frequently asked Question

What is FUE hair transplantation and how does it work?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive procedure that removes individual hair follicles from a donor area and implants them into thinning or bald areas. It provides natural-looking hair growth and is suitable for patients with sufficient donor hair.

What is the difference between FUE, Sapphire FUE, and DHI?

FUE uses standard steel instruments, Sapphire FUE uses sapphire blades for finer incisions, and DHI uses a Choi implanter pen for direct implantation. The best option depends on the patient's hair loss pattern and goals.

Is rhinoplasty in Istanbul safe?

Rhinoplasty at Istanbul Aesthetic Center is performed by board-certified surgeons in a hospital setting with pre-operative assessments. As with any surgery, risks exist, and suitability is determined during consultation.

How long does recovery take after liposuction in Turkey?

Most patients return to light activities within 1–3 days. Compression garments are worn for 3 weeks, and final results are usually visible within 1.5–2 months.

What is included in a medical tourism package at IAC?

Packages typically include the procedure, hospital stay (if required), airport transfers, and hotel accommodation. International flights and personal expenses are not included.

How long do hair transplant results last?

Transplanted follicles are generally permanent because they are taken from resistant donor areas. Full results are usually visible after 12 months.

Is the procedure painful?

Most procedures are performed under anaesthesia or sedation, so patients do not feel pain during treatment. Mild discomfort after the procedure is managed with medication.

Who is not a suitable candidate for hair transplantation?

Patients with insufficient donor hair, active scalp conditions, unstable medical causes of hair loss, or unrealistic expectations may not be suitable candidates.

How do I arrange a consultation at Istanbul Aesthetic Center?

You can book a consultation through the website, WhatsApp, or phone. International coordinators assist patients, and consultations can begin remotely before travel.
