Dr Karaaltin one of the amazing people I have ever met. His attitude towards his patitents is very kind. You feel that you are not talking with a doctor, he is very kind and friendly. He is also very professional. When you talk with other patients you recognize that you are at the right place. Thanks for all.

Provided comprehensive post-operative care, ensuring my recovery was as smooth and comfortable as possible

I traveled a long way to Istanbul, Turkey, specifically to have Prof. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin perform my mummy makeover surgery, and I can confidently say it was absolutely the right decision! From the moment I first researched his work, I was impressed by his extensive experience and glowing reviews, but meeting him in person exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Karaaltin is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon but also a kind and compassionate individual who truly cares about his patients. During our initial consultation, Dr. Karaaltin took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, addressing all my concerns with patience and clarity. His deep knowledge and scientific approach were evident, yet he remained very down-to-earth and approachable. This combination of expertise and genuine care instantly put me at ease, making me feel confident that I was in the best hands possible. Dr. Karaaltin's entire team was equally remarkable. From the nurses to the administrative staff, everyone was professional, caring, and always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they might have seemed. Their support extended beyond the surgery itself, as they provided comprehensive post-operative care, ensuring my recovery was as smooth and comfortable as possible. Choosing a doctor for such a significant procedure is undoubtedly a big decision. I am writing this review six months post-op, and I can confidently recommend Dr. Karaaltin without any hesitation. The results are exactly what I dreamed of – a testament to his exceptional skill and artistry. My body transformation has not only boosted my self-esteem but also improved my overall quality of life. Interestingly, during my consultations with other surgeons, I encountered some negativity towards Dr. Karaaltin. At the time, these comments puzzled me, but I now believe they stemmed from professional jealousy of his talent and reputation. After meeting him and experiencing his expertise firsthand, it became clear why he is so highly regarded in his field. Travelling to Istanbul for my mummy makeover surgery with Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin was one of the best decisions I've ever made. His remarkable combination of skill, knowledge, compassion, and professionalism sets him apart from others in the field. If you're considering a similar procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Karaaltin and his wonderful team. They have truly changed my life for the better.

Sehr Zufrieden

Ich hatte vor einer Woche eine BBL Operation bei Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin und ich bin fasziniert von dem Ergebnis. Empfohlen wurde der Arzt von meiner Freundin die sich vor 6 Wochen ebenfalls von Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin operieren lassen hat. Sie hatte eine Brustverkleinerung und Liposuction. Vor der Anreise wurde ich sehr ausführlich und detailliert über den Eingriff informiert. Angekommen wurden ganz viele vorsorgen gemacht. Die Op an sich ist super gelaufen, meine Wünsche wurden mehr als übertroffen. Nach der Op war ich noch zwei Nächte im Krankenhaus. Die Pflegedienst hat sich sehr fürsorglich um mich gekümmert. Nachdem ich Entlassen wurde und in einem Hotel untergebracht wurde, kam die Pflegedienst um mich beim duschen zu unterstützen. Bis zu Abreise wurde ich alle zwei Tage kontrolliert. Kurz und knapp, der Arzt ist sehr sehr gut in seiner Arbeit und die Pflegedienst super nett. Ich würde es immer wieder bei Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin machen und vom Herzen empfehlen. Vielen dank nochmals an Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin und sein Team.

Die Beste Entscheidung

Ich hatte vor 3 Wochen eine Brustverkleinerung mit straffung und Liposuction. Angefangen von der ersten Beratung bis hin zur Op und meine Entlassung wurde ich immer Beraten und unterstützt. Sowohl der Arzt Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin, seine Assistenten und das ganze Pflegepersonal im Krankenhaus waren immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin ist auf meine wünsche eingegangen und ich bin von dem Resultat fasziniert :). Obwohl erst 3 Wochen nach meiner Op vergangen sind, sind die nähte schon aufgelöst und die naht sieht so fein und sauber aus. Meine Freundin wird sich auch bald von Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin operieren lassen. Ich kann von herzen den Dr. jeden weiter empfehlen, man ist dort wirklich in guten Händen. Vielen Dank an Dr. Mehmet Veli Karaaltin und seine seine ganze Crew die mich während dem ganzen Zeitraum begleitet und unterstützt haben.

Highly recommended - complex revision rhinoplasty surgery with fat grafting

In December 2023 I had a successful complex revision rhinoplasty surgery, with fat grafting around my eyes undertaken by Dr Karaaltin. The revision rhinoplasty involved making a small hole (percutaneous osteotomy) at the top of my nose and inserting graft material from my ear to widen my radix, and conceal protruding bones and grooves between my nose and eyes. My nose was also straightened and improved definition was created around my nostrils. All of these procedures were undertaken as part of a closed procedure without breaking my nose. Dr Karaaltin is a pre eminent aesthetic and reconstructive surgeon. He is highly experienced, and along with my complicated surgery he has undertaken surgery to separate conjoined twins and carried out face transplants. He is extremely versatile and capable of undertaking many different types of plastic surgery, and with this wide ranging skill it is safe to say he is the best of the best. Dr Karaaltin is also very kind and caring towards his patients, and therefore I would recommend anyone considering surgery seek a consultation with him. The hospital in Istanbul is very modern, well equipped and similar to a luxury hotel. The team supporting Dr Karaaltin are very kind, attentive and helpful.

Changed my life - I am so confident and feel beautiful

My experience with Dr Karaaltin was the best experience I have ever had, his expertise and kindness made me feel so comfortable. My previous BBL went really wrong with another surgeon and it took me 4yrs to find and trust another surgeon, I had no confidence with my body and hated looking at myself but after my BBL reconstructive surgery I am so confident and feel beautiful. I will only ever go to Dr Karaaltin and have recommended him to anyone looking to have cosmetic surgery, this beautiful human being not only changes the lives of people who opt for cosmetic surgery but he even seperated conjoined twins and whilst I was there in 2022 Dec there was a little girl there who he was rebuilding a nose she lost to a virus. I adore this man and I know God put him in my life which I am so grateful for xxx
