I had a really positive experience from start to finish. Everything was so easy to book, and the whole process was organised really well. As soon as I arrived in Turkey, I was picked up from the airport and taken straight to the hotel, …

Badge clinic get 5 stars and more for me. In my opinion there is no other clinic I would go to now. This is my second visit to badge clinic. I previously came for breast augmentation in 2020 so when I decided I wanted a tummy tuck and lipo, there was no other clinic I trusted. Dr Burak and his team are absolutely brilliant at what they do and I’m so impressed with my latest procedure. Their aftercare team is second to none and nothing is too much for these guys. They definitely go that extra mile to make you feel welcome and at ease. Love you guys, can’t wait to come back next year for even more procedures! ❤️❤️
A great service with amazing people. At the beginning i was quite nervous for the fact that my teeth were a mess. I was always afraid of dentists but their excellent way of working made me confident that i am in very good hands. Thank you and i will definitely see you again.🙏
Excellent customer care from Nesrine and Miray. I am very happy with service I received- my new nose looks amazing. Nurse Team was always available and ready to assist. Nesrine who was my medical coordinator went above and beyond to help me out, she even done shopping for me when I couldn’t go out from the hospital! I felt like I was a part of a family rather than just a client. Everyone was professional and so supportive. I will definitely be coming back to Badge Clinic in the future! Thank you
My whole journey with badge clinic was very professional, everyone was very friendly and helpful, from the first consultation and later on site in turkey. The ladies have looked after me very well and I want to express my gratitude. Dr. Mete has done a fabulous job, and I can’t wait to see my end results in a few months.
L Equipe est genial, les soins sont parfait je le recommended fortement et le docteur Meta est tres professionel et realist il penst aux patients et les propose ce qui est mieux adapter pour eux.
Not sure where to start! 10 out of 10. Badge Clinic is the best thing that ever happened to me. Surgeons are professional and can’t say thank you enough to the nurses at the hospital and the hotel. They were caring and helpful. My coordinator Miray was explaining everything in detail so I was aware of everything. She still messaging me after I was back in UK. 🥰 Can’t thank this team enough! Thank you ❤️🙏
What can I say , absolutely amazing

I am very pleased with the services of the clinic, the team of doctors and nurses are very helpful in every situation. The procedure was successful, tummy tuck with 360 liposuction, I am very pleased. A wonderful hotel designed for rest, drivers always on time. A clinic worth recommending.
They run a tight ship. Very organised. Very professional. Hospital is clean. The surgery and after care was top tier. Can’t fault them. Thanks.
Honestly could not knock my experience
Honestly could not knock my experience. Flying solo I was very nervous. I had Nesrine guide me through it all who is an amazing coordinator. I got to the hospital and again was very nervous but was soon reassured. I then got settled in a lovely hospital room. I had bloods taken, chest x-ray and an ultrasound scan on tummy. I then met with my doctor Professor Dr. Cengiz Eriş who was very knowledgeable and made me at ease. I then got given the go ahead for Gastric sleeve surgery. It has been an experience and I’m
So glad to say a success. I was up walking a few hours after. Day 2 is probably the worst but once you get through it your on cloud 9. I met with my dietician and given all my protein shales and vitamins. Then got discharged day 3 post op. I got transferred to a beautiful hotel where I am relaxed and it’s beautiful. Thankyou for everything ❤️
The crew was very helpful and informative. It’s clear that they want you to be as comfortable as possible throughout the process. The consultant is just one message away and fast in responding to your questions and every need. The surgery went well and I can’t wait to see the results. The transportation was also very precise and on time for every trip. 👍🏾
Allora che dire di questa clinica
Sia dalla prima volta che li ho contattati fino al giorno che me ne sono andata da Istanbul
Tutto perfetto
Grazie a loro ho realizzato il mio sogno di rifarmi il seno risultato eccellente senza complicazioni lo staff ti assiste nei minimi dettagli e il dottor Mete ottimo professionista..
Cinque stelle sono poche da dare consiglio a tutti quelli che vogliono realizzare il proprio sogno.
I did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. The hotel they put you up at is really nice, the Free Breakfast Buffet is the BOMB and so is the room service menu. I had a nice stay and my procedure was as painless as possible. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!
I was a patient at Badge Clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you Badge clinic so we will definitely see you soon.
I had my rhinoplasty at this clinic and had a very positive experience. The staff were professional and supportive from the consultation through recovery, and everything was well organized. The surgeon explained the procedure clearly, and I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout. I’m happy with my results and would recommend this clinic to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
From the initial enquiry, through booking, surgery and post operative care badge were extremely helpful and reassuring.
The hospital was clean and comfortable and were accommodating to both myself and my companion.
Dr Mete listened to what I wanted whilst offering his professional opinion and giving me the results that I was looking for.
My coordinator Şevval were always on hand regardless of the time of day, to answer any queries, concerns or basic questions I had. No query was to pig or to small.
My hotel nurse Beyza was extremely friendly and so helpful in my aftercare. Again no query or request was to big or to small. She checked on me a few times a day each day and was always available through the WhatsApp group. She made my after care stay so much more comfortable.
Even after I have returned home they are still in contact to offer support and ensure everything is going well.
I would definitely recommend badge clinic for anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. I myself was recommended badge and I am so glad I chose them. My procedures were a fraction of the cost of the UK but this did not take away from the level of care and support that was provided
Just had Gastric Sleeve Surgery and a Gastric Band removal surgery completed on 24/05/24 by Prof. Dr. Cengis Eris at the hospital in Istanbul. From start to finish the entire Badge team have been nothing short of amazing. From pick up at the airport to your return back home they have been in contact and making sure I fully understand what is happening and what to expect. My Co-ordinator Nesrine has been amazing. I traveled by myself and was worried this was going to be too much but the team at Badge really take fantastic care of you. If you are debating if this is right thing to do or if this is the right place to have your surgery I can’t stress enough just how amazing and resasurred the team has made me feel. Although I’m only really a couple of days out and will see the results over the next coming weeks and months. I am relatively pain free and able to manage my normal activities which surprised me but shows just great they are at what they do.
Felt welcomed as soon as I arrived.
I had Dr mete who was absolutely lovely.
All the nurses have been great with me here! Clinic is so clean. Overall experience has been great.
Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend Badge Health.

What is a Gastric Balloon?
The gastric balloon is a temporary, inflatable device inserted endoscopically into the stomach. Once in place, it occupies space in the stomach, limiting the amount of food consumed at each meal and promoting portion control. This helps patients develop healthier eating habits and achieve sustainable weight loss.
Gastric balloon treatment is especially suitable for:
- Patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 27 and 40
- Individuals seeking a non-surgical alternative to bariatric surgery
- Patients looking to jump-start weight loss before surgery or lifestyle changes
How is Gastric Balloon Procedure Performed?
The procedure is simple, minimally invasive, and performed under mild sedation:
Pre-Procedure Assessment: Patients undergo a thorough medical evaluation, including blood tests and imaging.
Balloon Insertion: The deflated balloon is inserted through the mouth into the stomach using an endoscope.
Inflation: Once correctly positioned, the balloon is filled with saline or air to the desired size.
Post-Procedure Care: Patients receive instructions on diet, activity, and follow-up visits.
The entire procedure takes about 20–30 minutes, and patients can usually go home the same day.
Advantages of Gastric Balloon
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Promotes early satiety and portion control
- Supports gradual and sustainable weight loss
- Temporary and removable after 6–12 months
- Can improve obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure
- Quick recovery with minimal downtime
Recovery After Gastric Balloon
Most patients experience mild nausea, bloating, or discomfort during the first few days after insertion. These symptoms usually resolve within a week. Patients can gradually return to normal eating habits while following a structured diet plan.
First week: Adjusting to the balloon and diet
1–6 months: Significant weight loss and lifestyle adaptation
6–12 months: Balloon removal and continued weight management
Badge Health provides personalized follow-up care, dietary guidance, and support to maximize results.
Risks and Considerations
While gastric balloon is generally safe, minor risks include nausea, vomiting, or mild abdominal discomfort. Rarely, balloon deflation or migration can occur. Badge Health ensures careful patient selection, experienced medical staff, and continuous monitoring to minimize risks.
