During one of the most desperate periods of my life, when I had almost completely lost hope, I met Professor Mehmet. He turned a possibility I had never believed in into reality and literally saved my life.
Before our paths crossed, no one could help me. But now, knowing that I know a doctor who is both extremely professional and has a huge heart, I feel that I can support people in the same situation with these words.
If you are also at a point where you feel hopeless, I want you to know that you are not alone. Meeting the right person can change everything. It is difficult to express my gratitude to him in words, but thank you for being there, Big-Hearted Man ❤️🌸❤️ Translated fromTurkish

I underwent a facelift and eyelid surgery with Dr. Karaaltın in Turkey, and I am extremely satisfied with both the experience and the results. Dr. Karaaltın and his entire team demonstrated a very high level of professionalism, care, and attention throughout my treatment.
From the moment I arrived in Turkey, I was well looked after and supported at every stage of the process. The surgery was successful, and the results look natural and very pleasing. What impressed me most was the continued care and follow-up even after I returned home, which truly reflects the dedication of Dr. Karaaltın and his team to their patients’ wellbeing.
Dr. Karaaltın is a highly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon, and I felt confident and safe under his care. I would strongly recommend Dr. Karaaltın and his team to anyone considering facial cosmetic procedures.

When I decided to have surgery, I went to 10 different doctors and didn't have the confidence to continue, I was very scared, until I met Dr. Mehmet.
A very close friend of mine had surgery with him and recommended him to me. He was very enlightening in every aspect.
Incredible experience, a flawless team with a lot of responsibility and sensitivity.
Dr. Mehmet is a person of absolute excellence and very professional.
My family and many friends also experienced this and share the same opinion, a high level of experience.
Thank you for the entire process and attention.

My wife and I are from Nigeria, I had a tummytuck and lipo with Dr K and my wife had a breast reduction with 360 lipo last year and I need to say that despite our initial doubt of the Turkish surgery market, we made the right decision. After days of research, we verified Mehmet's certifications from official plastic surgery sites and talked to former patients. What made us go through with the surgery is that I recognized his passion for surgery and also his expertise, some former patients said he has operated on celebrities and usually when other doctors mess up surgeries they send the patients to Mehmet to fix it. And I believe he also invented some surgical techniques.
The surgery went well beyond my expectation and they guided us through each step of the way and even brought us flowers afterwards. The hotel was amazing with large breakfast and the hospital room looked very high-tech and luxurious. The nurses were kind and always checking on her. After some weeks when the swelling went down, the result was amazing. She looks great, more comfortable without backpain. And the team is still checking up on us monthly. I have recommended Prof. K to all my friends as he really is an exceptional surgeon.

For years I kept thinking about it, and finally, thanks to a friend who told me he knew a good doctor in Türkiye, I came to Türkiye and met with Professor Dr. Mehmet. He is the most kind doctor I have ever met; he answered all my fears and questions, and I had the surgery. It's been 3 months since the operation, and I'm very happy I had it. I am grateful to Dr. Mehmet for the information and reassurance he provided. I also thank the entire team. Translated fromTurkish

My wife had a bbl and breast augment and it was breathtaking work. Prof K is not a surgeon. He is an artist and master of his Craft.

After extensive research, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a humble, sincere, compassionate doctor with this level of experience, who puts patients at ease, dispels their doubts, possesses high professional ethics, and is truly passionate about his profession – a true human being. Years ago, an operation I underwent resulted in my face becoming so disfigured that I didn't even want to look in the mirror. I had become disillusioned with life and hated myself. I underwent a very successful operation. Dr. Mehmet gave me not only a beautiful face but also my zest for life back. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said I was reborn. Believe me, only those who have experienced this can understand the psychological impact. He and his entire team were excellent, both before and after the surgery. If you have any hesitations about having surgery, don't. You've found an excellent doctor, and more importantly, a doctor who is and remains humane. You will see that your hesitations will disappear when you meet him. I had an examination and immediately received an operation date, and I'm so glad I did. May God grant you a healthy and long life, doctor. We need you. Thank you again thousands of times. Translated fromTurkish

Our lives were turned upside down by a car accident involving my wife. She had multiple fractures. Despite undergoing numerous surgeries, the stitches wouldn't heal, and she had to undergo further operations each time. After approximately 14 months of unsuccessful treatments, our doctor told us there was nothing more we could do and that we should look for a new physician. Through my research, I found the best in his field, the beloved Mehmet Veli Karaaltın. We met Professor Mehmet at a time when we were most terrified, most helpless, and most hopeless. I remember starting to cry the moment I walked through the door and saw him for the first time. He is such a kind soul; he embraces you with his sincerity and smile, rekindling your hope. He diagnosed my wife in 10 minutes what no one else could for over a year: a bone infection. Professor Mehmet explained the difficulties of the process. We underwent several very successful operations. After the operations, Professor Mehmet never stopped monitoring her. He calmed even someone like me, who panics easily, without ever getting tired. Each time, I left that room, which I entered with fears, filled with positive energy. If your path has crossed with Mehmet Hoca, you are very lucky. We thank you and your team very much for your efforts, hocam.

We were very pleased with the hospital and Dr. Mehmet's entire team (Nurses Gizem, Eda, Nahide, and Heba). They were very attentive and provided five-star service. I recommend them to everyone; they are a fantastic team and very professional people. Dr. Mehmet is a wonderful doctor, and we thank him very much 🙌 Translated fromTurkish

Dr. Mehmet Karaaltin is a genius surgeon with gifted hands. He took on my complex case, which required multiple procedures to address long standing complications that I had developed after previous emergency surgeries I had undergone in Nairobi. With meticulous planning over several weeks, Dr. Karaaltin and his team carried out for me the following procedures: an eye evisceration, orbital reconstruction, dacryocystorhinostomy, nasal reconstruction and a maxillary sinus endoscopy. I am so grateful for Dr. Karaaltin's confidence and expertise that has solved my complicated heath challenge. Throughout this tough journey, Dr. Karaaltin always put a smile on my face with his warmth and care. I highly recommend Dr. Karaaltin to anyone who has a complex surgical case that requires gifted hands.

The most wonderful person I've ever met; their sincerity, honesty, humility, and of course their education and achievements, their love for people and their work, and their unwavering belief that they will do everything in their power to achieve the best possible results, led me to entrust myself to them without hesitation, and I've always been happy with the outcomes, both 25 years ago and now. Thank you for everything. I hope it won't be necessary, but if I ever have a problem, I will come to you again, and I have no doubt that you will handle it in the best way possible.

Because Acıbadem Taksim Hospital had an operation scheduled from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, they gave us an appointment at 3:20 PM. They cancelled my daughter's appointment, who has facial injuries, saying the doctor wouldn't be seeing patients on the day of the appointment. They should know better than anyone that it's not easy to get an appointment with another professor on the same day. If they hadn't given an appointment in the first place, we could have gotten one with another doctor. We would understand if it were an emergency operation, but this is arbitrary and unacceptable.

It's impossible to describe Dr. Mehmet in just a few sentences. He's the kind of person you'll be glad to have met. Besides being a very good doctor, you understand he values you through his smile and warm personality. He turns a stressful doctor's appointment into a pleasant conversation.
Ten years ago, he performed an operation that no one else dared to do, and everything went smoothly.
While waiting for your appointment, you have the chance to talk to other patients, and everyone speaks positively about Dr. Mehmet.
His team is fantastic; Mr. Murat answers all your questions and is very attentive.
In short, thank you for everything. Translated fromTurkish
