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!

I would like to firstly thank aleyna , irem and Nesrine for all their amazing support help and although so friendly but very professional. They made me feel part of The Badge family .. I also want to thank wonderful surgeon Muhammad Eren Șimșek he has done amazing. Feel a million dollars no pain but perfection. My second time now at the Badge and I will most certainly be back. Again from the beginning in contact with admin to flights to the driver to the hotel.. everything runs so smoothly and the people are just gorgeous. I literally will miss them. I’m so happy with the whole process❤️❤️❤️❤️

Je recommande cette clinique à 100 % tout était très propre et le personnel a vraiment été présent du début jusqu’à la fin. Une prise en charge dès la sortie de l’aéroport on ne se sent jamais seul même si on vient seul sur place des traducteurs sont là pour vous aider et des infirmiers sont là pour s’occuper de vous. Que vous soyez à l’hôtel ou à l’hôpital personne ne vous laisse sans réponse vous êtes vraiment accompagné du début jusqu’à la fin. Je suis très satisfaite de mon expérience chez badge clinique chaque petit désaccord a été réglé quasiment instantanément par ma coordinatrice Nisrine car ils ont une très bonne communication. Pour résumer je vous dirai que vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés vous ne serez pas déçu ni de votre prise en charge ni du résultat de votre opération.

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.

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

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 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 badge clinic has been amazing. The help and support I received both before and in Istanbul has been flawless. My coordinator Enes has been very helpful and answered all my questions. While I was in Istanbul my Coordinator Nebia has been extremely pleasant and made me feel welcomed. My surgeon Dr Mete has done a great job and for once when he asked if I had any questions I was speechless. My experience thus far has been amazing and I would definitely recommend Badge Clinic.
Asad G.
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.

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.
Giedre N.
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 ❤️🙏
Diana K.
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.

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!

Sleeve Gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure. During the surgery, approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces the patient’s food capacity and decreases hunger by lowering the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
The procedure is ideal for patients who:
Have a body mass index (BMI) over 35 with associated health conditions
Have been unsuccessful with diet and exercise
Seek permanent and effective weight loss
Want to improve obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
How is Sleeve Gastrectomy Performed?
Sleeve Gastrectomy is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia:
Pre-Operative Assessment: Patients undergo comprehensive evaluations, including blood tests, imaging, and medical history analysis.
Laparoscopic Surgery: Small incisions are made, and surgical instruments are inserted to remove a large portion of the stomach.
Creation of Sleeve Stomach: The remaining stomach is shaped into a narrow tube, reducing food capacity and promoting early satiety.
Recovery and Follow-Up: Patients receive instructions on diet, physical activity, and post-operative care to maximize results.
The surgery typically takes 1–2 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 2–3 days.
Advantages of Sleeve Gastrectomy
Significant and sustainable weight loss
Reduction in hunger and portion sizes
Improvement in obesity-related health conditions
Minimally invasive with short hospital stay
Permanent structural change to support weight management
Enhanced quality of life and self-confidence
Recovery After Sleeve Gastrectomy
Recovery is gradual and requires adherence to dietary and lifestyle changes:
First week: Light diet, gradual return to daily activities
2–4 weeks: Normal activities resume, with continued dietary adjustments
1–3 months: Rapid weight loss begins
6–12 months: Significant and measurable weight reduction
Badge Health provides personalized follow-up care, nutrition counseling, and medical supervision to ensure optimal outcomes.
Risks and Considerations
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a safe and well-established procedure, but as with any surgery, minor risks may include infection, bleeding, or temporary digestive issues. Selecting an experienced team like Badge Health ensures safety, minimizes complications, and provides high success rates.
