Patient reviews about Liv Istinye Topkapi

On Tuesday Dr. Salih Aydın performed my septorhinoplasty. First of all, if anyone is considering nose surgery, you can put yourself in the hands of Dr. Salih and his team with your eyes closed. The doctor worked so beautifully and meticulously that I had no bruises and the swelling was almost unnoticeable. I would also like to give special thanks to the nurses Eray and Mahide, who took care of me on the 5th floor. They looked after me day and night like a baby, even rinsed my nose with their own hands, and most importantly, despite working with so many people, they always patiently kept their smiles. They are extremely good at their job. My reason for taking off one point is the children on the inpatient floors run around very noisily even at night. The hospital should develop a policy against this and take measures. After all, this is a hospital and people need rest. Children screaming and running through the corridors both at night and in the morning is not very positive for people who need to rest. Besides this, if anyone is going to be admitted to the hospital — the cafeteria is only open during the day. This too is not befitting a hospital; after all, it is not a bank branch, and people are not there from 9 to 5. Some come at night, some get hospitalized. There may be someone who needs to eat and drink something, so there should be a place open 24/7, because this is a hospital that works 24/7 😀. 22/04/2026

My brother had stomach reduction surgery. We stayed on the 5th floor and were very pleased with the nurses. Everyone was attentive and very sincere. Since it was cold at night (the air conditioner was broken), nurse Gülnova covered me up, and in the morning — her attentiveness made us very happy. Personally, we received attention and care from everyone. The food was excellent, extremely delicious, and different dishes came every day. Now let us move on to the points we were not satisfied with... The ventilation was broken, and we were usually cold. On the first day there was a smell of GREASE (from the kitchen) coming from the ventilation. Since there was no hot water in the tap, I had to perform ablution with cold water. Even though I wrote down my name for the suhoor breakfast to be brought to the room, it never came on any day. I had to go and tell them separately and remind them. On the pillows, even though they were new, unfortunately. Later I asked for new ones, and after 3 reminders they brought new ones in 3 hours. I hope the problems we experienced will not be experienced by other patients and their companions in the future. 14/04/2026

My name is Anzhelika Mazanova. I came to Istanbul for the first time on January 15. On the 16th I had plastic surgery (intimate aesthetics). My surgery was performed by Dr. Emine Demir. I want to express my gratitude both to the doctor and her team (Ceren Karatepe, Yaprak Karaca and Bora Bilak). Many thanks also to the anesthesiologist Hülya Şahin Emektar. I trusted these people, and they did not let me down. I appreciate how caring and conscientious they were. The hospital is beautiful and very modern. I liked it, and its appearance perfectly matches my taste. The hospital should be proud to have this group of staff working for it. 22/02/2026

I received service at the ENT department, and I wish I hadn't. At first they shower you with flattery, flattery upon flattery, to steer you there. But after the surgery they don't even consider you a human being — no follow-up, no attention. A complete disappointment, this hospital. Their egos have shot up to the ceiling, unfortunately. Those who want to have nose surgery or aesthetic procedures, be sure to think carefully before coming here. 05/02/2026

About Liv Istinye Topkapi University Hospital

Liv Istinye University Hospital Topkapı is a modern multidisciplinary medical center that opened in Istanbul in September 2025. The clinic is located in a spacious 50,000-square-meter facility in the historic Topkapı district of Istanbul, close to a metro station.

Alongside other medical specialties, the clinic’s key areas include aesthetic medicine and bariatric surgery. The hospital provides a full range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, as well as surgical treatments for weight reduction. Physicians offer comprehensive care — from initial consultation and diagnostics to postoperative follow-up and rehabilitation.

 

Plastic Surgery at Liv Istinye Topkapı, Turkey

The Department of Plastic Surgery at Liv Hospital in Istanbul is a state-of-the-art center utilizing advanced surgical techniques. The department’s surgeons specialize in aesthetic facial and body correction, as well as complex reconstructive operations.

 

Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Liv İstinye Topkapı surgeons perform a wide range of facial rejuvenation and correction procedures:

  • blepharoplasty (transconjunctival or scarless technique, Müller’s muscle resection for upper eyelid correction, cat-eye surgery);
  • rhinoplasty (open, closed, piezo-assisted surgery, structural techniques using septal, ear, or rib cartilage);
  • facelift (deep plane lift, endoscopic lift).

 

The Liv Medical Center also performs otoplasty (ear correction), cheekbone and chin augmentation with customized high-tech implants, buccal fat removal, lip lift, and other appearance-enhancing surgeries.

 

Body Contouring

Liv İstinye Topkapı surgeons apply advanced techniques for body contouring and breast reshaping:

  • mammoplasty (Mentor, Allergan Natrelle, Motiva, Sientra implants; endoscopic insertion via axillary or inframammary incision; tubular breast correction);
  • liposuction (ultrasound-assisted VASER liposuction, VASER + J-Plasma combination for skin tightening);
  • abdominoplasty (High Lateral Tension technique for waist shaping, Fleur-de-Lis procedure after major weight loss, mini-abdominoplasty via endoscopic access).

 

Liv Istinye Topkapı also offers body contouring, Brazilian butt lift and thigh lift procedures, as well as post-weight-loss skin tightening using minimally invasive and combined methods.

 

Non-Invasive Rejuvenation

Liv Hospital patients can benefit from Ultherapy — an ultrasound-based skin lifting treatment for the face and neck. The technology targets the SMAS layer up to 4.5 mm deep, stimulating collagen production and providing lifting without incisions.

Another effective rejuvenation method, Thermage CPT, uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and trigger neocollagenesis. It is particularly effective for facial contouring and post-liposuction skin tightening.

 

Postoperative Recovery

To accelerate healing and improve skin quality after surgery, Turkish specialists use a set of advanced regenerative methods. PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma) activates dermal regeneration. The clinic uses a double-centrifugation technique to obtain plasma with a very high platelet concentration.

Ozone therapy is also prescribed — a proven method to reduce inflammation, stimulate microcirculation, and speed up wound healing, thereby minimizing complications. In complex cases, stem cell therapy (especially adipose-derived stem cells, ADSCs) is used to improve tissue integration after lipofilling and to treat scars.

 

Bariatric Surgery at Liv İstinye Topkapı

Surgeons at Liv İstinye Topkapı perform modern procedures for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders:

  • gastric bypass – creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it to the small intestine, which limits food intake and reduces calorie absorption;
  • mini gastric bypass – a modified, less invasive technique that allows faster patient recovery;
  • sleeve gastrectomy – removal of a portion of the stomach to form a narrow “tube,” reducing hunger and promoting long-term weight loss;

 

After surgery, patients receive ongoing medical supervision and nutritional support to maintain their results and enhance their quality of life.
