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 recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at academy clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at academy clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend academy clinic to anyone considering these procedures.
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.
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.
I am a patient from the UK who travelled to academy clinic in Turkey upon recommendations. The level of service from start to finish was 5 star. I had surgery done with academy clinic and everything from their part was so well planned out. Everyone representing the clinic was very friendly and took such good care of me. The communication was 5 star. As my surgery was a few days ago, i haven’t been able to see my final result but from what I have seen, I am extremely happy! Thank you academy clinic! I will be visiting again.
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 ❤️
My experience with The academy 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 academy clinic to anyone!
I had a hair transplant a week ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me through the process than academy clinic. The transfers from the airport to the hotel to the clinic were great.
A life changing procedure for me that was made a lot easier with the help of academy clinic. Fantastic facilities with the amazing doctors and nurses who helped me recover from my gastric sleeve surgery. Will always be grateful

Your dream appearance is closer than ever — guided by professionals and delivered through four simple, trusted steps.
Sapphire FUE is a minimally invasive hair restoration method that involves extracting hair follicles individually and implanting them into recipient sites created with sapphire blades. The V-shaped sapphire tips enable more controlled incisions, allowing for denser and more natural-looking hairlines.
This technique is especially effective for:
The procedure follows these main steps:
Donor Area Preparation: Hair follicles are harvested one by one from the donor area (usually the back of the scalp).
Sapphire Blade Channel Creation: Using fine sapphire blades, the surgeon creates micro-channels in the recipient area with extreme precision.
Graft Implantation: Extracted follicles are placed into the channels at the correct angle and depth to mimic natural growth.
The sapphire blades reduce trauma, resulting in quicker recovery and higher graft survival. The procedure typically lasts 6–8 hours.
Patients usually experience minimal discomfort after Sapphire FUE. Redness and swelling are less compared to traditional FUE due to reduced tissue trauma.
2–3 days: Patients can return to work and light activities.
1 week: Redness and scabs usually heal.
3–4 months: Initial new hair growth begins.
6–12 months: Noticeable density and natural results.
With proper aftercare, Sapphire FUE delivers permanent results and a seamless, natural appearance.
Sapphire FUE is a safe procedure, but minor risks such as temporary redness or swelling may occur. Choosing an experienced clinic like Academy Health ensures minimized risks and excellent outcomes.
