I had breast augmentation with badge clinic. The experience from start to finish has been very smooth. The hospital is very clean and staff as helpful as can be. Slight language barrier with some nurses but was fine overall. Very happy with my results and would recommend to anyone thinking about coming to Turkey for the same surgery.
A life changing procedure for me that was made a lot easier with the help of Badge Clinic. Fantastic facilities with the amazing doctors and nurses who helped me recover from my gastric sleeve surgery. Will always be grateful
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! ❤️❤️
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.
I got a breast augmentation and otoplasty with Dr Mete. He was very friendly and gave me exactly what I asked for. I am very happy with my results so far. The nurses were also very friendly and helpful.
I went to Turkey to get my new healthy Hollywood smile. Badge Clinic was recommended to me and my initial experience with Miray was very positive. On my arrival I met Nesrine – my medical coordinator. She took excellent care of my dental journey. She was professional, always available and ready to help me. Nesrine went above and beyond to assist me and I am forever grateful for her effort. I would recommend Badge Clinic to everyone. Their customer service and care are exceptional. Thank you Nesrine and Miray!
Very good staff!! Even the cleaner was lovely and supportive, I was quite scared as I came alone but they made you feel comfortable at all times! And asked if you needed anything a lot! I would definitely recommend badge clinic. I’ve been in very very little pain and the procedure ran very smoothly! 10/10
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. 👍🏾
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.
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 Clinic.🌸🌸🌸
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. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!
I recently underwent a hair transplant at Badge Clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at Badge Clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and Badge Clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend Badge Clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.
Had a great experience from the minute i landed, everyone was very welcoming, made me feel at ease, can’t thank my 2 nurses enough from being in the hospital and hotel, kept reassuring me when was needed, especially being so far from home, definitely made the right choice with choosing badge clinic.. only thing i would say was hard was the language barrier but that’s excepted to come to there country, nothing google translate doesn’t help with x
Everything was amazing, the place is facing galata tower so we had the best view , and the san sebastian was very delicious, the staff was also amazing especially Ayman.
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.
I 100% recommend this clinic, I am very happy with the whole treatment and all the support I’ve been given. I am so happy with my results just after 3 days I feel perfectly fine. You will not regret coming to this clinic.
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
My girlfriend had breast augmentation with Dr. Mete in May 2024, and it’s been 2 months. We really love the results. What a professional team! Thanks to my medical consultant, Joey, for helping us through everything.
My experience with The Badge Clinic has been amazing- everyone that I have spoken to have been so kind, thoughtful and patient. I had a surgery in the UK 5 years ago and I am much happier with my result and the whole process this time around. I would recommend The Badge Clinic to anyone!

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.
