Surgical Specialties and Weight Loss Programs
The Obesity Center uses a team approach to treat excess body fat. Endocrinologists, psychiatrists, and dieticians work together to manage long-term weight goals. Specialists perform bariatric procedures to improve or resolve obesity-related diseases:
- Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
- Gastric Bypass Surgery
Patients follow a structured follow-up system that checks their mental state and lifestyle habits. After surgery, the care team gives nutrition advice and guides each step of the diet.
The Plastic Surgery Center handles both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Its "Mommy Makeover" packages address body changes after pregnancy. These plans usually combine several surgeries:
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Breast enlargement and breast lift
- Liposuction and body contouring
- Vaginal rejuvenation surgery
Rhinoplasty services include Tip Rhinoplasty, which reshapes the nose tip under local anesthesia. The surgeon corrects the cartilage to lift or narrow the tip. Since the final shape takes time to settle, the clinic monitors patients for up to a year.
The Ophthalmology Center treats complex eye diseases and corrects vision. Specialists use advanced lasers for refractive surgery. This treats myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. For cataracts, surgeons replace the natural lens with an artificial implant to restore clear vision. The center also screens for glaucoma and checks retinal health.
Dental services focus on restorative and aesthetic treatments. For dental implantation, the team places an artificial root directly into the jawbone. Once the implant attaches, a custom dental crown goes on top to replace the missing tooth.
International Patient Services
Sava Medical Group offers a full logistics package for foreign patients. Medical assistants and interpreters speak English, German, and Spanish. The clinic arranges all airport and hotel transfers in VIP vehicles. During recovery, patients stay in 5-star hotels in Istanbul.
Care coordination covers several support services before and after surgery:
- 24-hour hospital surveillance and nursing check-ups at the hotel
- Complications insurance and travel insurance
- Pre-flight surgeon consultations and nutritional follow-up
- Provision of necessary medications and post-surgical corsets
After discharge, specialists track patient progress through a long-term follow-up system. This means patients get lifestyle coaching and physical activity advice once they return home.
