Why should I choose Dr. Hasbi Mert Meral for plastic surgery in Antalya?

Choosing Dr. Meral ensures you are under the care of a surgeon with elite training from Istanbul Cerrahpasa and Akdeniz University. His practice is known for combining safety with artistic results. Furthermore, Antalya offers world-class hospital facilities and the opportunity for a peaceful recovery in a Mediterranean setting, often at a more accessible price point than in Western Europe or North America.

What is the recovery time for a rhinoplasty in Turkey?

Most patients can return to light activities and work within 7 to 10 days after a rhinoplasty with Dr. Meral. While significant swelling subsides within a few weeks, the final shape of the nose continues to refine over 6 to 12 months. Dr. Meral provides a detailed post-operative protocol to ensure the best healing results.

Are the results of Vaser Liposuction permanent?

The fat cells removed during liposuction in Antalya by Dr. Meral are permanently gone. However, maintaining results requires a stable weight through a healthy diet and exercise. If a patient gains significant weight, the remaining fat cells in the body can still expand.

Does Dr. Meral perform 'Mommy Makeover' surgeries?

Yes, Dr. Meral specializes in Mommy Makeovers, which typically combine a tummy tuck with breast surgery (lift or augmentation). This procedure is designed to address the specific anatomical changes that occur after childbirth and breastfeeding, providing a comprehensive rejuvenation in a single surgical session.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for a facelift?

Candidates for a facelift are generally individuals with sagging skin in the midface, deep creases below the lower eyelids, or jowls along the jawline. During a consultation, Dr. Meral evaluates skin elasticity and bone structure to determine if a surgical lift or non-surgical fillers would be most effective for your goals.

What kind of breast implants does Dr. Meral use?

Dr. Meral uses high-quality, FDA-approved cohesive silicone gel implants from internationally recognized brands. During your consultation, he will discuss the different shapes (round vs. teardrop) and profiles to determine which best fits your body frame and desired aesthetic.

Is it safe to travel to Antalya for surgery?

Yes, Antalya is a major international destination for medical tourism, known for its high-standard private hospitals and experienced specialists. Dr. Meral’s clinic follows strict international medical protocols, and the city provides excellent infrastructure for international patients, including multilingual support and luxury recovery accommodations.

Can multiple procedures be performed at the same time?

Often, yes. Combining procedures like liposuction and breast augmentation can be more cost-effective and requires only one recovery period. Dr. Meral will assess your overall health and the total duration of the surgery to ensure that combining procedures is safe for you.

How long should I stay in Antalya after my surgery?

Depending on the procedure, patients are usually advised to stay in Antalya for 7 to 10 days. This allows Dr. Meral to perform follow-up exams, remove sutures if necessary, and ensure that the initial healing phase is progressing correctly before you fly home.

Does Dr. Hasbi Mert Meral speak English?

Yes, Dr. Meral is fluent in English, which allows him to communicate effectively with international patients, ensuring that all concerns are addressed and that the patient fully understands every step of their surgical journey.
