Areas of Expertise
The clinic performs two types of rhinoplasty: simple and complex.
Simple rhinoplasty
This is a type of plastic surgery that is used by patients who do not want to radically change the shape of their nose. Minor changes are made to the tip and wings of the nose. The tip of the nose is raised, while there is no effect on most of the skin of the nose and the bridge of the nose. Simple rhinoplasty is performed without a scalpel under local anesthesia. The manipulation takes an average of 15-20 minutes. The next day, the patient can return to his usual life and fly to his country.
Rhinoplasty
This type of surgery is indicated for those who:
- have aesthetic problems with the nose;
- cannot breathe properly or have problems with snoring and apnea;
- would like to change the shape of the nose;
- who need repeated rhinoplasty for various reasons.
After discussing the necessary changes, the doctor makes a 3D visualization of the desired shape of the nose, which will be the final result. The operation is performed under general anesthesia. The hospital stay after the operation is 1 day. After 2-3 days, the first swelling goes away, 7 days after the final examination, the patient can leave the country. Every day a nurse comes to the patient at the hotel to check his condition. Usually on the 2nd day, patients can lead a full life. Therefore, the remaining days in between appointments with the doctor, they explore Istanbul.
The clinic is known for its high hair transplant rates. In this area, doctors use both standard FUE hair transplants and unique proprietary techniques.
FUE hair transplant
FUE hair transplants are the most popular and modern today. The doctor collects hair follicles, usually from the back of the head, forms them into bundles and transplants them into the thinning area. Thus, the patient acts as a donor for his operation. The density of hair planting is determined by the hairline, age and shape of the patient’s head and face. The angle at which the hair transplant is performed also plays an important role. The overall appearance after full recovery will depend on these factors. You can read more about hair transplants and preparation stages here. After hair transplantation, you will need to stay in Istanbul for 3 days. The hotel is included in the price of the transplant package. Our clients spend this time walking around Istanbul.
Organic FUE hair transplant
This method was developed by the founder of the clinic, Bulent Cihantimur. It is now widely used by clinic doctors as a more effective method of FUE hair transplantation. This is a hair transplantation using injections of the patient’s own stem cells, which are extracted from his fat cells. The patient is then injected with this liquid into the transplant area. This way, doctors do not have to administer standard injections that can harm the hair follicles.
Advantages of the method:
- increases the efficiency of transplantation to 96%;
- facilitates the transplantation process;
- no need to use chemicals;
- promotes the growth of more vibrant and healthy hair.
After hair transplantation, you will need to stay in Istanbul for 3 days. The hotel is included in the price of the transplantation package. Our clients spend this time walking around Istanbul.

The clinic’s surgeons perform all surgeries aimed at giving the body the desired shape. The most popular are:
- abdominoplasty;
- body lipomodeling;
- buttock augmentation (Brazilian buttocks);
- arm and leg lift.
Usually, some types of plastic surgery are combined into one procedure to achieve the maximum aesthetic effect. How do you know what type of surgery is needed? To do this, patients send us their photos with a description of the desired result. Doctors, having looked at the features, give recommendations and their vision of the proposed changes and the price.

The clinic’s doctors perform various types of breast surgeries:
- breast augmentation;
- breast reduction;
- breast lift;
- gynecomastia;
- fat tissue grafting to the breast.
Before the surgery, the client can see their new appearance thanks to 3D visualization. Therefore, the result is 100% as planned. After the surgery, the patient stays in the clinic for 1-2 days under the supervision of doctors. Then, up to 7 days, they stay in a hotel in Turkey. After the surgery and until leaving the country, in addition to a routine examination by the doctor, you are visited every day by a nurse who monitors the recovery process.
The clinic’s doctors perform various types of surgeries:
- rhinoplasty;

- full facial reconstruction;

Before the surgery, the client can see their new appearance thanks to 3D visualization. Therefore, the result is 100% consistent with the planned one. The client sends us their photo, the doctor gives a vision of the change plan within 1 day.
Spider Web is a proprietary method of facelifting created by the founder of the clinic, Bulent Cihantimur. Polydioxanone threads are inserted under the skin using thin needles and are arranged in the form of a web. The threads, thanks to a special substance, basically promote the production of collagen and elastin, which creates a strong lifting effect. The skin becomes alive and elastic, which distinguishes this proprietary method from standard threads. This method is recommended for anyone who has encountered wrinkles, sagging facial skin, changes in the shape of the mouth and lips, or the appearance of a double chin. Also for those who see the need for facial rejuvenation.
Advantages of the method:
- no incision or scars;
- short procedure time;
- immediate opportunity to return to everyday life;
- active production of collagen in the skin is maintained.
The result of this procedure is visible immediately, but the final effect is observed in a period of 3 to 6 months.

I would especially like to thank Ms. Şevval and Ms. Özge. Thanks to their smiling faces, attention, sincerity, and professional approach, I went through the process much more comfortably and stress-free. They helped me with everything, patiently addressed any questions I had, and truly made me feel valued.
On the day of the operation, the team worked with extreme care and attention. It was evident at every stage how well they knew their job. I was not left alone after the operation either; my process was closely monitored with regular follow-ups and updates.
I am extremely satisfied with the results I have achieved. My hairline looks natural, the density in the transplanted areas is quite successful, and it is getting better every day. I can say that I achieved a result beyond my expectations.
I would like to thank the entire team, especially Ms. Şevval and Ms. Özge, for their efforts. It is a very successful center where you can find quality service, professionalism and sincerity all together. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering hair transplantation.

I was kept informed in detail at every stage, from the initial communication to the post-operative period. Ms. Özge, in particular, patiently answered all my questions throughout the process, making me feel safe. The team's care and professionalism in planning and organizing the operation were also commendable. On the day of the operation, Ms. Özge and her team displayed an extremely meticulous, friendly, and dedicated approach.
My hair transplantation process was very comfortable. Thanks to the care shown during and after the operation, all my doubts disappeared. I felt at every stage that I had entrusted myself to safe hands.
I had an experience that I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering hair transplantation. I would like to thank Ms. Özge, Mr. Berk, Ms. Şevval, and Mr. Hebun, and the entire team for their efforts, and wish them continued success. 🙏🌿 Translated fromTurkish

I would like to thank her very much for her support, meticulousness, and efforts throughout the process 🙏 Translated fromTurkish
From the moment you meet her, you can tell that she sincerely cares about people and wants the best for them. She listens attentively, takes the time to address concerns, and does everything she can to achieve the best possible outcome. Her professionalism, expertise, and kindness are unmatched.
It is rare to find a doctor who combines outstanding medical skills with such a warm and caring personality. Dr. Gina is not only an excellent doctor but also an excellent human being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care and a truly patient-centered experience at Dr Bs clinic
The operation was supposed to take place on May 15
But thanks to my husband for saving me from these outright bandits.
We paid the deposit as required.
Besides the two of us, we didn’t see any other patients. When I asked for a guarantee, I was asked to send an SMS to WhatsApp.
When I asked who the manufacturer of the implants was, the staff worked very professionally after looking it up on the internet 🤦🏻♀️
The deposit was returned within a month, and not even the whole month... They constantly ran after my husband and asked for full payment (even though the test results weren't even available and for the amount they charged, they could have deigned to send the blood test results to WhatsApp 😂 for the sake of decency) this indicates that they don't care about the person's condition, only the money, and how did they say that they even perform surgery on drug users 😳 when I asked why they didn't warn me that smoking is dangerous for such a long operation and it is advisable to reduce cigarette consumption.
Problematic clinic... my dog lives in the best apartments they put me in. My husband also paid an extra 300 euros 🤦🏻♀️ I'm afraid to imagine what would have happened without the extra payment!!!! Horrible nightmare!!! Beware of this clinic!!! Because consequences can occur later, and their WhatsApp guarantee doesn't guarantee it. Choose good specialists!!! Translated fromRussian
This was my second transplant. The first time at a clinic in Manchester and I’m much happier with the result here.
Couldn’t recommend them more
After the surgery, I felt extremely unwell. I was in severe pain and very weak. I was repeatedly told that this was “normal.” However, with each passing day, my condition worsened. I was confined to my hotel room, lying on my stomach for an entire week. I could not go outside at all and could only order food.
The day before I was supposed to return to my home country, the doctor briefly checked on me and said everything was “perfect,” completely ignoring my complaints once again. I had to beg for three hours to receive a special pillow for my flight.
Returning home was the worst day of my life. I was in unbearable pain, extremely swollen, and completely unable to sit. Three days later, bleeding started from the incision, and I had to undergo emergency surgery to remove the implants due to a severe infection.
I contacted the clinic and asked for a solution. One month later, they offered me a “free” revision surgery—only if the old implants were reinserted, which is medically irresponsible since those implants had already caused an infection. Alternatively, I was told to pay for new implants myself. I accepted this offer, and they sent written confirmation stating the surgery would be done once my body had fully recovered.
Six months later, I contacted the assistant again, and we scheduled a new surgery date for February 17. I was then told that using new implants would cost €5,000, which had never been clearly stated before. Despite this, I booked my flights and hotel.
A few days later, I sent my blood test results. They asked for additional tests, which I completed and sent promptly. Since mid-January, I have received no response at all. My messages are being ignored. I contacted the assistant and other staff members multiple times—no replies, no explanations.
This clinic does not even deserve one star. Unfortunately, there is no option for zero.
I want my money back.
Respect for patients: zero
Responsibility for complications: zero
Greed for money: infinite
Stay away from this clinic. They care only about money, not patient safety.
Thanks to the confidence Professor Bülent gave me, I achieved an extremely successful result in terms of both natural appearance and health. This satisfaction earned the appreciation of not only me but also everyone around me.
In addition to the healthcare service, I would like to thank the entire healthcare team and patient advisors who were always there for me with their smiling faces and helpful approach. Especially, my endless thanks to Sevgi, who tried to be there for me in every matter. Translated fromTurkish
