Hakan Ağır

Dr. Hakan Ağır is a plastic surgeon based in Istanbul, Türkiye, who practises at Acıbadem Sağlık Gurubu İstanbul and Altunizade Acıbadem Hastanesi. This guide explains how to book a consultation with Dr. Ağır, what happens at each step, what to prepare and which questions to ask before you commit to treatment.

The procedures listed for Dr. Ağır include Rhinoplasty, Breast Implants and Breast Reduction. Each is described further down with typical operating time, hospital stay and recovery, so you can plan your trip around the consultation.

A consultation is an assessment, not a commitment. The surgeon examines you, explains whether the treatment you have in mind is suitable, and sets out the options, the risks and the recovery. You decide afterwards whether to go ahead.

1. 1

   Step 1: Decide what you want to discuss

   Write down the procedure or concern you want to raise (for example, rhinoplasty), what you hope to change and roughly when you could travel to Istanbul. A clear goal makes the consultation far more useful.

2. 2

   Step 2: Send a consultation request

   Use the consultation request form and mention Dr. Hakan Ağır in your message. Give the procedure, your preferred city and your timeframe. It takes a few minutes and does not commit you to anything.

3. 3

   Step 3: Add your medical details

   The form has space for your age, height and weight, the medications you take, medical conditions and any previous surgery. Have clear, well-lit photographs of the area ready too — surgeons use them to judge whether a treatment is realistic before you travel.

4. 4

   Step 4: We come back with options

   We check your request against the profiles we hold and the other providers that match what you are looking for, then reply with options. We are not a clinical service: nothing we send is a diagnosis or a treatment plan, and a request is not a booking.

5. 5

   Step 5: Agree the details in writing

   Before you book flights, ask whether Dr. Ağır can review your photographs and medical history in advance, and in which language the consultation will be held. Confirm the date, the address and any consultation fee in writing.

6. 6

   Step 6: Attend your in-person consultation

   Dr. Ağır examines you at Acıbadem Sağlık Gurubu İstanbul, confirms whether the procedure suits you and explains the risks, the recovery and the full cost. Take time to think it over before you agree to surgery or pay a deposit.

Before you travel, confirm in writing where your consultation will be held and in which hospital any operation would take place. If the two are different, ask how far apart they are and who arranges your transfers between them.

A little preparation turns a consultation from a first chat into a proper assessment. Bring, or send in advance:

• A short summary of your medical history, including long-term conditions and anything treated in the past year
• A list of every medication and supplement you take — including blood thinners, hormone treatment and weight-loss injections
• Details of any previous surgery on the same area, with dates and operation notes if you have them
• Recent photographs of the area, taken in good light from the front and both sides
• Your height and weight, and whether you smoke or vape
• Your goals, written in a sentence or two, and anything you do not want changed
• Your travel window and how long you could stay in Türkiye
• Your questions, written down so none are forgotten on the day
• Contact details for anyone travelling with you

Be open about smoking, weight changes and any medication, even if it seems unrelated. These affect healing and anaesthesia, and a surgeon can only plan safely with the full picture.

• Will Dr. Ağır personally perform my operation from start to finish?
• In which hospital will the operation take place, and who is the anaesthetist?
• What exactly does the price include, and what could cost extra?
• How long should I stay in Istanbul after surgery before flying home?
• What aftercare is provided once I am back home, and how do I get in touch if I am worried?
• What happens — and who pays — if I need a revision or develop a complication?
• Can I see before-and-after photographs of patients treated here?
• What is the cancellation and refund policy for deposits?
• What exactly is included in the quoted price, in writing?
• Who performs the surgery — is it guaranteed to be the named surgeon?
• What happens (and who pays) if a revision is needed?

Ask for the answers in writing. A clear written plan protects you and makes it much easier to compare Dr. Ağır with other surgeons you are considering.

Dr. Hakan Ağır appears in the member register of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TPRECD). Dr. Ağır's record has also been checked against Acıbadem Healthcare Group — Altunizade Hastanesi staff profile.

It is worth checking any surgeon yourself before you pay a deposit. The Turkish plastic surgery society publishes a member search, and the Ministry of Health publishes the list of facilities authorised to treat international patients. The UK and Turkish plastic surgery societies also publish joint guidance for patients travelling for surgery.

Consultation fees, treatment prices and deposit terms are set by each practice. Before your appointment, ask Dr. Ağır's practice whether there is a consultation fee and what it covers.

A reliable quote is written and itemised: the surgeon's fee, hospital and anaesthesia costs, nights in hospital, compression garments, medication, follow-up visits and transfers. Ask what is not included as well as what is.

Treat any price given before an examination as provisional. The final plan, and the final price, depend on what the surgeon finds when they examine you. The UK's NHS advises against paying for treatment at a hospital you have never seen, so keep deposits refundable where you can.

Make sure you understand everything said about risks, recovery and consent. If the consultation is not in a language you speak fluently, ask for a professional medical interpreter rather than relying on a friend or a translation app, and ask for the treatment plan and consent form in writing.
