The practice has received several international awards for research and surgical excellence:
Dr. Erdal has published over 30 peer-reviewed articles in international medical journals. This academic focus supports evidence-based methods in daily practice.
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:
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 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.
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.
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:
Patients receive a personalized recovery plan. This includes scar management with silicone gel for 6 months, so long-term monitoring continues after leaving Türkiye.
