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.
