IIThe Surgeon
Op. Dr. Ayberk Akçay

“Patients sometimes ask which operation is my favourite. The truthful answer is the one I decline. If surgery cannot give you something natural — rested, balanced, still yourself — I will tell you so, plainly. And when I do operate, it is my hands from the first photograph to the last follow-up: nose, breast, body or face. One surgeon, answerable for everything. My name goes only on work I have done myself.”

IIIThe Questions That Matter

Three questions to ask any surgeon — including this one.

01

“Who will actually hold the scalpel?”

Dr. Akçay, in person. There is no anonymous “surgical team” here, and no stranger shaking your hand an hour before anaesthesia. Whichever procedure you choose, one pair of hands carries you from first consultation through the operation to every follow-up review, and the European Board fellowship behind those hands can be checked independently in the EBOPRAS registry above.

02

“Will it look natural — or obviously done?”

The over-rotated nose, the over-filled face, the figure that doesn’t match its frame — these are what revision patients come to Dr. Akçay to undo. His planning starts from your own anatomy and changes only what doesn’t belong, preserving what does. The aim, in every procedure on this page, is a result nobody can point to: you, on a very good day.

03

“What happens after I fly home?”

Aftercare does not stop at the airport. Before you leave Istanbul, Dr. Akçay examines you and confirms you are fit to fly, and your complete medical records, written in English, travel home with you. Then come photo reviews at weeks 2, 6 and 12, and again at months 6 and 12, all on the same WhatsApp thread where the conversation began. At no point are you passed off to a faceless support address.

IVBefore You Ask

The questions every patient asks first.

How does it actually start?+

On WhatsApp. A few phone photos and a short note about what you have in mind are enough. Dr. Akçay looks at every set of photos himself, and an honest assessment, together with a written all-inclusive quote, normally reaches you inside 24 hours. There is no deposit just to talk and no call centre — and if you don’t use WhatsApp, a short written form at the end of this page reaches the same team, and sometimes the honest answer is “you don’t need surgery.”

Am I talking to a sales agent on WhatsApp?+

You are talking to Dr. Akçay’s own clinical coordinator, in English, and your photos and surgical plan are reviewed by Dr. Akçay himself. No call centre, no purchased leads, no “consultants”.

How many days do I need in Istanbul?+

It depends on the operation: rhinoplasty around 6–7 nights, breast surgery 6–7, body contouring at least 7, a deep plane face and neck lift 8–10. Your exact stay is written into your plan before you book anything — and you fly home only after Dr. Akçay has examined you and cleared you.

What exactly does the package include?+

Surgery and anaesthesia at Istanbul Aesthetic Center, your hospital night(s) with nursing care, the recovery hotel, all VIP transfers, your English-speaking coordinator, post-op checks and medication in Istanbul, and the 12-month photo-review programme after you fly home. It all sits on a single itemised quote in writing, and the figure printed there is the figure you actually pay.

Is it safe? Where does surgery take place?+

Every operation takes place at his partner hospital, the ISO 9001-certified Istanbul Aesthetic Center — a fully equipped private surgical hospital in central Istanbul, not an office or a “clinic” — with pre-operative blood tests and ECG, a dedicated anaesthesiology team and on-site intensive care. This is non-negotiable, for every patient and every procedure.

Why is surgery in Turkey so much more affordable?+

Istanbul is one of the highest-volume surgical capitals in the world — costs are structural, not corners cut. You are not choosing “cheap surgery”; you are choosing a European Board-certified surgeon in a country where excellent care costs less to deliver. The difference funds your flights several times over.
