Mehmet Surmeli, MD, FEBOPRAS

Choosing the right surgeon was not an easy task for me. I spent years researching and comparing, because safety has always been my top priority. What impressed me most about Dr. Surmeli was his strong commitment to safety, he does not joke with it. In fact, when I first reached out to him 2–3 years ago, he advised me not to have surgery at that time due to my high BMI, and suggested I lose weight first to ensure the procedure could be done safely and with the best outcome. That honesty and professionalism stayed with me. Now, 2 months after my surgery, I can confidently say it was the best decision I’ve made. The hospital was incredible, modern, well-equipped, and with excellent staff. My scars are healing beautifully, my belly button looks so natural, and my breasts are just amazing. I truly appreciate Dr. Surmeli’s artistic eye combined with his uncompromising focus on safety. The whole experience, from start to finish, was fantastic. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Surmeli and his wonderful team Ruken and Cansu and highly recommend them to anyone considering plastic surgery in Istanbul.

Life-Changing Experience with Op. Dr. Mehmet Sürmeli I had a combination of procedures done by Op. Dr. Mehmet Sürmeli in Istanbul, including a breast lift and reduction, upper eyelid surgery, mole removal from my face, and Botox treatments. I also go to him regularly for Botox, and I can honestly say that every single experience has been flawless. From the very first consultation, Dr. Sürmeli made me feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. He is incredibly meticulous, gentle, and compassionate. His attention to detail and his ethical, respectful approach make him stand out. He works with a wonderful team, and I always feel safe, supported, and confident in their care. The results have truly exceeded my expectations—I feel more confident, refreshed, and like the best version of myself. Choosing Dr. Sürmeli was one of the best decisions I’ve made. If you’re considering any kind of aesthetic procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend him. You’ll be in the hands of someone who truly loves what he does and cares deeply about his patients.

With truly exceptional results, my gaze has become more expressive, my eyelids are beautifully defined, and my eyebrows have taken on a perfectly lifted appearance. Regular Hydrafacial treatments and PRP applications at the clinic have also given my skin a glowing, refreshed look. Dr. Mehmet Sürmeli’s professionalism, deep expertise in aesthetics, and meticulous approach are simply outstanding. It’s an absolute privilege to be in the hands of such a skilled and trusted expert. The clinic itself reflects excellence in every detail! The warm, welcoming atmosphere combined with the high-quality service and attention to every little nuance makes each visit an experience to remember. I’ve always felt valued and cared for. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mehmet Sürmeli and his remarkable team for their unmatched dedication to perfection!

Dr. Surmeli is genuinely remarkable! My results left me speechless both my breast augmentation along with my tummy tuck exceeded my expectations. I spent two years, researching the best surgeon for my tummy tuck and breast augmentation and interviewed five surgeons. Dr. Surmeli emerged as the only possible choice. My first contact with the clinic set the standard for excellence. Dr. Surmeli’s assistant was incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions. We built a strong relationship as she was patient with me throughout my research process. The logistics process is clear, concise, and thorough yet it is the personal touches that really made the difference. Dr. Surmeli’s staff insured every possible detail of my visit was exceptionally coordinated both pre-and post surgery. In addition. Dr. Surmeli’s nurse is first class. She attended to me with the most meticulous care; I simply could not have asked for a better experience. I chose to travel alone yet having his assistant and nurse with me made all the difference in the world. Words cannot express how grateful I am to both of them who checked on me in the middle of the night while I was in hospital care. They went above and beyond to make sure I knew that I had support. In terms of facilities, the hospital itself is state of the art- a futuristic science innovation center! These procedures are not done in some clinic without the proper resources to attend to a patient’s full needs. That gave me a lot of comfort. Five stars doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of my experience with Dr. Surmeli and his clinic. His practice is certainly one of the most ethical and results driven practices that I have encountered globally. My family and friends are so impressed that I am heading back with another relative that has a very complex case, and naturally the only plausible choice is Dr. Surmeli. If you’re looking for honest, ethical feedback and picture, perfect results looking no further!

Dr Mehmet Sürmeli and his team are truly wonderful! I did a solo travel to Turkey (I’m Canadian), and decided to look into 360 lipo and chin lipo. I came across Dr Mehmet after reading the reviews online. It was a scary experience to go through at first, but the entire process was so seamless & smooth! He is honest and practical about the expected results. From the pre-work, to the coordinations from hotel to clinic, to the day of the procedure, to the overnight stays at the hospital (which truly felt world-class). It has been a few weeks since the procedure, and I’m so happy with the results! A big thanks for Cansu for being an amazing & kind nurse, for Ali for being a diligent & meticulous manager of operations, and Ruken for helping me with a last minute request! I am so grateful to Dr Sürmeli and his fantastic team! Thank you :)

Today is Tuesday I just arrived home Sunday from the procedure. I traveled by myself from California to have an arm lift. As someone who is scared of everything (like carnival rides), I have wanted to do this for myself for a long time. I am so happy with the results. The doctor and nurse were both wonderful to work with. The nurse even followed up to make sure I arrived home safely. It was a great experience all around (including the hospital and staff). If this is something you want to do for yourself do it.

Throughout my aesthetic surgery process, I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism and kind approach of my doctor and their team. From the very first consultation, I was provided with detailed information and explanations at every step, which gave me the confidence to move forward with the procedure. During and after the surgery, the care and attention from my doctor, along with the friendly and patient approach of the nurse, made me feel very comfortable. The post-surgery care and attention, in particular, made my recovery much easier and more comfortable. Having all of my questions answered patiently and feeling safe throughout the process was very valuable to me. The results exceeded my expectations, and I now feel much happier, more confident, and more comfortable with my appearance. I sincerely thank the entire team who contributed to this process. I am truly pleased with the quality of the service I received and the level of care provided.

I recently had Rhinoplasty surgery performed by Dr. Mehmet Surmeli and his outstanding team, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care and professionalism I received. From the initial consultation to the post-operative follow-ups, Dr. Surmeli his team were attentive, compassionate, and highly skilled. Throughout the entire process, they ensured I was well-informed and comfortable, addressing all my concerns with patience and clarity. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery has been better than I anticipated, thanks to their thorough instructions and support. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Surmeli and his team to anyone in need of surgical care. Their dedication to their patients' well-being is truly commendable. Thank you for everything!

My experience with Dr. Surmeli and his assistant Nurse Cansu, was outstanding. There are so many comparisons out there it can all get a bit daunting, and there is no greater recommendation than that of a patient…. Dr.Surmeli comes highly recommended from myself. I had a breast implant replacement and breast uplift.. He is a perfectionist in obtaining the best results possible , and meticulous regarding your wellbeing , and cleanliness… He explains everything from the very beginning, all the way through and puts you at ease… I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Surmeli, infact I have already done so to a friend….

As a fulltime nomad, I could have traveled anywhere in the world to have plastic surgery. I spent a lot of time researching various locations and surgeons. In the end I chose Dr. Mehmet Surmeli in Istanbul for a tummy tuck and breast reduction.       Firstly, I wanted to work directly with the doctor and his staff rather than go through a medical company that has a financial interest in booking surgeries. When I contacted Dr. Surmeli's office, I spoke with the patient coordinator who worked for the doctor, not a third party medical tourism agency. Secondly, I wanted a doctor who was board certified. It can be difficult to know and trust governing bodies in foreign countries, however, Dr. Surmeli is also board certified in both the United States (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) and Europe (The European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery). After sending information and photos, Dr. Surmeli advised that I should have the two procedures separately, six months apart. This meant traveling to Istanbul twice, but I appreciated his conservative approach due to my age (66), the length of surgeries and the healing process. Both of my surgeries were scheduled in a timely manner that worked for my schedule. Dr. Surmeli conducts his surgeries at the highly rated, private Memorial Hospital in the Bahçelievler neighborhood of Istanbul. The hospital is clean, bright and modern, with strict standards. With my coordinator translating and guiding me through the entire process, I felt right at home. (The Starbucks in the lobby was a nice touch, too.)      My surgeries went well and recovery for both have been smooth and uncomplicated. When I have a question or concern, I contact my coordinator and receive a reply with Dr. Surmeli's comments and recommendations. I have felt supported by the team throughout the process, even after leaving Istanbul. Plastic surgery is a big decision and traveling to a foreign country for the surgery can seem daunting. Dr. Surmeli and his team cater to foreign patients and they understand their concerns and are there to help patients through the entire process.         If you are considering plastic surgery, my advice is to forget those third party scheduling companies and cheap "chop shops" and instead choose a highly skilled surgeon who has your best interests at heart. For these reasons and more, I highly recommend Dr. Surmeli and his team. Plus, you get to visit Istanbul, one of the greatest cities in the world!
