Consultation guide
How to book a consultation with Dr. Orhan Babucçu
The short answer
To book a consultation with Dr. Orhan Babucçu in Istanbul, send a consultation request naming Dr. Babucçu, with the procedure you are considering, your medical details and clear photographs.

Request a consultationBooking a consultation with Dr. Orhan Babucçu
If you are considering treatment with Dr. Orhan Babucçu, a plastic surgeon based in Istanbul, Türkiye, who practises at Babucçu Estetik Merkezi, the first step is a consultation. Below you will find how to request one, how the appointment works, what to bring and the questions worth asking Dr. Babucçu in person.
The procedures listed for Dr. Babucçu include Rhinoplasty, Neck Lift, Breast Lift, Facelift, Liposuction and Tummy Tuck. Each is described further down with typical operating time, hospital stay and recovery, so you can plan your trip around the consultation.
Going to a consultation does not commit you to surgery. It is where a surgeon examines you, tells you honestly whether the treatment suits you, and explains the alternatives, the risks and what recovery involves.
How to book an appointment with Dr. Orhan Babucçu
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.
Step 2: Send a consultation request
Use the consultation request form and mention Dr. Orhan Babucçu in your message. Give the procedure, your preferred city and your timeframe. It takes a few minutes and does not commit you to anything.
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.
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.
Step 5: Agree the details in writing
Before you book flights, ask whether Dr. Babucçu 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.
Step 6: Attend your in-person consultation
Dr. Babucçu examines you at Babucçu Estetik Merkezi, 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.

Where Dr. Orhan Babucçu sees patients
Dr. Orhan Babucçu is listed at one facility in and around Istanbul. Consultations can take place in a surgeon's consulting room or in a hospital; operations are carried out in a hospital.
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.
What to prepare for your consultation with Dr. Babucçu
The more a surgeon knows before you meet, the more useful the consultation. Gather these before your appointment:
- 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.

- What exactly is included in the quoted price, in writing?

Checking Dr. Babucçu's credentials
Dr. Orhan Babucçu appears in the member register of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TPRECD).
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, quotes and deposits
Consultation fees, treatment prices and deposit terms are set by each practice. Before your appointment, ask Dr. Babucçu'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.
Travelling to Istanbul for your appointment
Istanbul is served by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW). Some hospitals and clinics arrange airport transfers for international patients; ask whether this is included. Metro, tram and taxis are also available.
Recommended time in Türkiye, from our procedure guides — rhinoplasty: 7–10 days; neck Lift: typically around 10–14 days before flying; breast Lift: 7–10 days. Your surgeon will confirm the right length of stay for you.
Flexible tickets are worth the extra cost. Arrive a day before your consultation, and wait for your surgeon's clearance before fixing the date of your flight home.
Stay close to Babucçu Estetik Merkezi, keep your passport and medical documents together, and share your itinerary and the address where you will be treated with someone at home.
Language and communication
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.

How do I book a consultation with Dr. Orhan Babucçu?

We reply with options: a request is not a booking, nobody here diagnoses you, and you are under no obligation to go ahead.

Where does Dr. Orhan Babucçu see patients and operate?
Dr. Orhan Babucçu is listed at Babucçu Estetik Merkezi in Istanbul. Many surgeons consult in one place and operate in another, so confirm in writing where your consultation will be, where any operation would be performed, and that the facility is authorised for it. Check that facility's own profile before you travel.
What qualifications does Dr. Orhan Babucçu have, and how can I check them?
Dr. Orhan Babucçu is listed as a plastic surgeon. In Türkiye the specialist title is Plastik, Rekonstrüktif ve Estetik Cerrahi, awarded after specialist training, so ask to see the specialist certificate (uzmanlık belgesi). Dr. Babucçu appears in the member register of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TPRECD), which you can search yourself. Qualifications are a starting point: ask too about experience with your procedure and where it would be performed. How we check surgeon records.
Which procedures does Dr. Orhan Babucçu perform, and how experienced are they with mine?
The procedures listed for Dr. Orhan Babucçu include Rhinoplasty, Neck Lift, Breast Lift, Facelift, Liposuction and Tummy Tuck. A listing does not show how often a procedure is performed. Ask how many times a year Dr. Babucçu performs yours, how often patients need revision surgery, and whether any part of the operation is carried out by another doctor. Compare surgeons side by side.
Can I see before-and-after photos of Dr. Babucçu's patients?
Ask Dr. Babucçu's practice for further examples of patients whose anatomy, age and goals are similar to yours, for example after rhinoplasty, photographed from the same angles and in the same light before and after. Photographs show what has been achieved for other people; they cannot predict or promise your result, which depends on your anatomy, your healing and the plan agreed at consultation.
Can I have an online consultation with Dr. Babucçu before travelling?
You can send photographs and your medical history with a consultation request, which lets the practice give an initial view and plan your visit. Whether Dr. Babucçu offers a video consultation is for the practice to confirm. A remote review helps with planning, but surgery should only be agreed after Dr. Babucçu has examined you in person. Ask which languages Dr. Babucçu consults in, and whether an interpreter can join.
What should I ask Dr. Babucçu at my consultation about rhinoplasty?
For rhinoplasty, ask whether your breathing will be assessed, whether an open or closed technique is planned and why, and how your skin thickness may affect the result. Also ask whether Dr. Babucçu will personally perform the whole operation, who gives the anaesthetic, what the price includes and excludes, and what happens — and who pays — if a revision or complication occurs. Write your questions down beforehand and ask for the key answers in writing. Use our questions-before-paying worksheet.
How long should I stay in Istanbul after treatment with Dr. Babucçu?
Recommended time in Türkiye, from our rhinoplasty guide: 7–10 days. Hospital stay: 1 night. Dr. Babucçu will confirm what is right for you after examining you. Your stay should cover the post-operative checks, any stitch or drain removal and a final review before you fly, and it is usually longer after combined operations. Flying after surgery.
What happens if I have a complication after returning home?
Before you travel, agree with Dr. Babucçu's practice how follow-up works once you are home: who reviews your recovery, whether photographs or video calls are used, and who to contact out of hours. Take your operation notes, medication list and any implant details with you, and register with a local doctor who can examine you. Seek urgent local care for heavy bleeding, fever, chest pain, breathlessness or a swollen calf, and ask in writing what is covered if revision surgery is needed. Warning signs after cosmetic surgery.
How much does a consultation or operation with Dr. Babucçu cost?
Consultation fees and treatment prices are set by Dr. Babucçu's practice, so ask before booking whether there is a consultation fee and what it covers. Any quote should be written and itemised: the surgeon's fee, hospital and anaesthesia, nights in hospital, garments, medication and follow-up visits. Treat a price given before an examination as provisional, and keep deposits refundable where you can. Typical price ranges by procedure.
