Although tissue expander applications are one of the main reconstruction techiques of plastic surgery, they are not preferred for the labia minora area. I personally prefer to replace the volume requirement in this area by using the patient's own fat tissues.

Hello. I think you can have a more balanced face, especially with an intervention to the middle 1/3 of our face. Your mid-face bone called maxilla looks a bit straight and back. Of course, some examinations and measurements are needed to be able to speak. And also your teeth occlusion is important. As a result, it would be appropriate to evaluate your mid-face area by an experienced Plastic Surgeon. There are some treatment options involving both bone and soft tissues for this area. Detailed information will be given after examinations. Dr. M. Hakan BULAM, MD, FEBOORAS, Istanbul, Turkey

Ptosis is falling of the upper eyelid. First of all it should be investigated to find the reason. If no cause could be find then it is called congenital type and the treatment is eyelid surgery. The surgical technique depends on the severity of the ptosis and how opening function of the eyelid is. But generally ptosis correction surgery is done under local anesthesia and operation duration is short. Good luck Kevin. Dr. M. Hakan BULAM, MD, EBOPRAS, Istanbul

Thank you for your question. Due to the fact that the flight time is not too long, a problem may not be expected. You can often walk inside the airplane during the flight to avoid pressure on the BBL area.

I came all the way from the United States to see Dr. Hakan Bulam for upper eyelid blepharoplasty, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I had a significant amount of extra skin, and the results exceeded all my expectations—even just one week after the procedure. Dr. Hakan was incredibly gentle, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. I experienced no pain at all, and he made me feel completely at ease. I know several people who have had the same procedure done in the U.S., but their results don’t compare to mine. Dr. Hakan truly delivers the best results at the best prices. He is simply the best in every way!
Wow I have done more than 15 surgeries but this lovely doctor is on top of my list! I recently had the pleasure of undergoing liposuction surgery with Dr. Hakan Bulam, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the very first consultation, it was evident that Dr. Bulam is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his patients. His professionalism and expertise made me feel confident in my decision. The support I received from Dr. Bulam's team before and after the surgery was exceptional. They were always available to answer my questions and provide guidance, making the entire process much smoother. Their attentiveness and care truly made a difference in my experience. Dr. Bulam himself is incredibly classy and exudes a sense of prestige that adds to his credibility as a surgeon. The results of my surgery exceeded my expectations, and I feel more confident than ever. I highly recommend Dr. Hakan Bulam and his team to anyone considering liposuction. Thank you for the wonderful experience and fantastic results!

I went to Dr. Hakan to perform a mommy makeover, and I was terrified, but I wanted to fix my body after having two children and traveling overseas to do this surgery was scary, too. Still, The first time I met him, I communicated with him about my wishes, and my goal was to have the most natural results. He immediately understood my wishes and answered all of my questions. My surgery was smooth, and the implant size fits my body perfectly and my healing journey was fast!!! I think of Dr. Hakan every day when I look at my body in the mirror, and sometimes, I get emotional because I’m so happy with the results. The prices are pretty good compared to those in the US and Dubai! My only struggle was in the hospital because the nurses didn’t speak English, but they were super friendly and caring, so I communicated with them through Google Translate. I can’t forget the doctor’s two incredible assistants, didem and Tulin. They became my friends!
I can warmly recommend dr. Bulam and his team. My whole operation, consults and check ups went perfectly and I felt safe and cared for during the whole process. Dr. Bulam has the precision of an artist and the whole team is highly professional! I hope to get back soon! I also did Botox and fillers and I’m very pleased with the results.
I had the best experience on my two surgeries with Dr. Hakan Bulam. I have nothing but POSITIVE things to say about my experience and results! I did a rhinoplasty and a liposuction in my abdomen section. This was my first surgery ever and I did a lot of research on Doctors I wanted to go to for my rhinoplasty. I decided to do a liposuction due to seeing his amazing work on instagram. It was the best decision I have ever made and changed my life. I have always wanted a super flat stomach and contoured and even with years of a lot of exercise and dieting I could never achieve it as I had genetic fat in my stomach area. I have never been this confident and happy with my body. I came from Los Angeles, California and I knew I wanted to get my nose done in Istanbul due to the techniques and just how feminine and perfect the noses look. I found Dr. Bulam through Instagram and I’m VERY GRATEFUL to have chosen him as my surgeon. I went to multiple doctors in Los Angeles for a consultation and I didn’t feel confident they would give me the nose shape I wanted. I am very picky and want a soft and feline nose as my face shape she is small. I am currently two weeks post OP and I have the nose of my dreams ALREADY! It is half the size and very cute. I have never heard of anyone who had a recovery this quick and smooth. Thanks to Dr. Bulam and proper pre op care, I had very little bruising and swelling. I am finally in love with nose shape and its only been two weeks! I messaged through WhatsApp and provided my info and what I was looking for in terms of my nose shape. His office manager was great in helping me with everything and answered all my questions in a professional and friendly manner. She was always available to me morning and night for any questions I had. This is super important to feel like you can trust the office staff of your surgeon. I was easily able to communicate with her as she spoke perfect English and remembered details of me as a patient. I felt that I was actually valued and taken care of throughout the whole trip to Istanbul. Besides the surgery and medical care, they helped set up transportation and recommendations for things to see while you are Istanbul. I also did three lymphatic drainage massages with her for my liposuction post operation care and I highly recommend everyone to do them. Dr. Hakan Bulam really listened to what I was looking for my rhinoplasty and liposuction. I felt super safe and like I was in the best possible care. His attention to detail and care for his patients is so rare to find. He spoke perfect English and I was nervous that having an operation in another country would not be the same care as in United States. I was shocked to learn that the care the medical staff has for patients was as if I was family and far beyond the attentiveness and care I’ve ever received. I did the overnight stay in the hospital and I am grateful for all the nurses and nurse aids as well. I was taken care of in a hospital like I mattered as a person and had 24/7 support. They were there to change out my iv, antibiotics, help me walk around, provide me food, switched my bedding as many times as I asked, and even make me laugh and danced just to cheer me up when I was post op. I will always remember this and hope everyone has the same experience I had. For my checkups, I went to his beautiful office that is in the best area in Istanbul. I was able to get my stitches and splint removed and did a lymphatic massage after my liposuction. Even with splint on it was half the size of my original nose. I was soooo happy to see my new nose and also seeing how small my waist and how contoured and flat my stomach got. Now I wear a size 0-2 in clothes. I only took painkillers that were prescribed to me for 4 days after my surgery… I didn’t feel pain after. If anyone is super worried about their first surgery like I was, I can say with all my heart that I made the right decision to pick Dr. Hakan Bulam. I have nothing but good things to say about his work, professionalism, and care for his patients. My overall experience was a 10/10 and I’m beyond happy with my results. If you are deciding whether or not to fly to Istanbul for surgery or choosing between Doctors I 100% say with full confidence to choose him as your surgeon. Thank you to Dr. Hakan Bulam, his office manager, and his nurses that took care of me like family… I will always remember this wonderful experience. Thank you!
I had such an amazing experience! I would definitely recommend him and would come back to him again in the future.I feel I look more beautiful and no scars left. My nose is more straight and symmetrical now and blends in and I can breathe normally after just one day! It is so natural looking
After spending weeks looking for the best board certified doctors and reading so many reviews, I decided to contact Dr Hakan. It all started with a professional communication with his assistant, Ms. Mehtap who was so kind and supportive and answered all my questions and concerns with pleasure, and I realized after my first communication with her that this was the right team to handle my treatment and take care of me. I booked an appointment and at the consultation day, Dr. Hakan was so honest and transparent and explained everything perfectly. He was happy to answer all my questions and gave me all the details I needed about the surgery. He also clarified all the possible outcomes of such surgeries and never made any fake promises. He was so confident and calm and made it so easy for me to decide to have a 360 Tummy Tuck, Liposuction & Gynecomastia. It is also worth mentioning that Ms. Mehtap did not ask for any deposit and the payment was only made after my physical consultation with the doctor. I'm so pleased with my initial results and the post operative care from Dr. Hakan and Ms. Mehtap who followed up with me everyday after the surgery and I'm really grateful for choosing this team who has made it a spectacular experience for me and would definitely recommend them to everyone. Thank you Ms. Mehtap and Dr. Hakan.
Doc hakan is such a gentle and lovable personality , I am steal at my healing process but damn I am happy already with what I am seeing , I can’t wait to heal fully .. and thanks to beautiful mehtap …
And I again I want to thank Dr. Hakan Bulam for his great work. I felt secure about the operation and I am very happy of the results just only after 1 week of arm lipo. And also a big thankyou to Mehtap for all her support and positive charisma. I will see you soon. xx
