FAQ about treatment in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What qualifications should patients look for in a Turkish doctor for dimple creation surgery?

Patients should look for board-certified plastic surgeons with international fellowships and specific microsurgery training. Qualified Turkish doctors often hold European Board of Plastic Surgery (EBOPRAS) certification. They should demonstrate expertise in facial anatomy. This knowledge helps them position dimples that only appear when smiling.

  • Board certification: Qualified surgeons hold Turkish Board or European Board (EBOPRAS) certifications.
  • Specialized fellowships: Top doctors complete facial aesthetic fellowships in the USA or Europe.
  • Microsurgical training: Microsurgery expertise ensures precise muscle anchoring for natural, dynamic results.
  • Professional memberships: Look for active members of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that premier results come from doctors with varied international backgrounds. For instance, Dr. Leyla Arvas at Quartz Hospital trained in microsurgery in Taiwan. Dr. Omer Faruk Deveci refined facelift techniques in Miami. This global exposure allows them to use advanced anchoring methods that avoid permanent tethering at rest.

Patient Consensus: Patients note it's important to find a surgeon who specializes in facial harmony rather than general body work. They emphasize asking for long-term photos to see how dimples look months after healing. Many were surprised that a bit of natural asymmetry often looks better than forced perfection.

Do dimple creation doctors in Turkey speak English and assist international patients?

Dimple creation doctors in Turkey are highly adept at treating international patients and typically maintain fluent English communication. Many surgeons hold European Board certifications and have finished advanced fellowships in the USA or Europe. This ensures clear dialogue regarding surgical goals and recovery expectations for every patient.

  • International training: Surgeons like Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez and Dr. Leyla Arvas trained in the USA, Japan, and Spain.
  • English-speaking staff: Clinics assign bilingual coordinators to manage logistics, airport transfers, and post-operative questions via WhatsApp.
  • European Board certification: Many specialists hold FEBOPRAS or EBOPRAS credentials, meeting rigorous international medical communication standards.
  • Comprehensive support: Clinics provide dedicated translators for medical briefings, discharge instructions, and pre-operative bloodwork consultations.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that choosing a Professor-level surgeon often guarantees direct English communication without needing a translator. For instance, Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez personally performs all surgeries at JCI-accredited hospitals and is fluent in English. This direct contact reduces the chance of miscommunication regarding the specific depth and placement of the dimples.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that WhatsApp is the most common way to coordinate bookings and share photos with the clinic teams. They emphasize the importance of getting a written after-care plan in English before traveling. Most feel comfortable with the level of support provided during their stay in Istanbul or Ankara.

How do Turkish surgeons determine the optimal placement and depth of dimples?

Turkish surgeons determine dimple placement using geometric mapping and muscle movement tests. They identify the Khoo Boo-Chai point where the eye and mouth lines intersect. This ensures the dimple aligns with natural facial structures and appears subtly only when smiling. Surgeons also adjust suturing tension to control depth.

  • Anatomical mapping: Surgeons map geometric coordinate lines to ensure symmetry and balance.
  • Dynamic muscle tests: Patients perform suction and smile tests to find natural tissue voids.
  • Precise internal coring: Small cylinders of tissue are removed for permanent, well-defined indentations.
  • Suture tensioning: Absorbable internal slings anchor the skin to underlying cheek muscles.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists often possess international microsurgery training that elevates the precision of facial refinements. For instance, Dr. Leyla Arvas at Quartz Hospital trained in microsurgery at Taiwan Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. Dr. Yunus Emre Seker at Soraca Med worked on pioneering transplant teams. These backgrounds allow for delicate maneuvering around vital structures like the facial artery and Stensen’s duct.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that the results look very deep at first. They are happy when the indentation eventually shows only while smiling. Many felt relieved after seeing how carefully surgeons marked their faces before starting.

What technique do most Turkish surgeons prefer for creating dimples?

Most Turkish surgeons prefer the intraoral incision and suture technique, also known as transoral dimpleplasty. This method involves operating entirely inside the mouth. It allows surgeons to replicate natural facial anatomy without leaving any visible external scars on the patient's face.

  • Surgical access: Surgeons make a small incision through the inner cheek lining or oral mucosa.
  • Tissue anchoring: An absorbable or non-absorbable suture pins the skin to the buccinator muscle.
  • Natural results: This technique creates a dynamic dimple that appears mainly when the patient smiles.
  • Quick recovery: The procedure typically takes under 60 minutes often using local anesthesia.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists like Dr. Leyla Arvas at Quartz Hospital or Dr. Yavuz Özsular combine microsurgery training with facial aesthetic expertise. This academic-level precision is vital because it helps avoid 'static' dimples that look unnatural at rest. While many clinics offer this as a lunch-hour surgery, surgeons with reconstructive backgrounds ensure the suture depth respects individual facial nerve anatomy.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that dimples often look deep and permanent for the first few weeks due to swelling. They emphasize that the best results appear after three months once the internal tissue heals. Many suggest discussing the exact placement to ensure the new dimples complement their unique facial balance.

How can patients verify that a dimple creation doctor is operating legally and safely in Turkey?

Patients verify a dimple creation doctor in Turkey by confirming their plastic surgery specialization and checking for an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. This government-issued license is mandatory for treating international patients. Leading surgeons also hold European Board of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (EBOPRAS) certifications.

  • Specialist specialization: Surgeons must be recognized as specialists in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery.
  • Facility authorization: Clinics must hold an active International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from USHAŞ.
  • Board certification: Top doctors like Dr. Mehmet Mustafa Kiyar hold both Turkish and European boards.
  • Official registries: Qualifications can be cross-referenced with the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that premier Turkish surgeons often hold academic titles such as Assistant Professor or Professor. For instance, Dr. Leyla Arvas serves as an Assistant Professor, while Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez is a Professor of Plastic Surgery. Choosing a surgeon with academic standing signifies they likely met rigorous peer-reviewed standards and university-level precision requirements.

Patient Consensus: Patients note it is important to confirm where the procedure actually happens. They suggest asking for the specific hospital name instead of just a clinic brand. Many felt more secure after seeing real recovery photos and getting clear explanations about aftercare.
