Not sure where to start! 10 out of 10. academy 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 ❤️🙏
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
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❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have felt comfortable and safe the whole time.the nurses and doctors answered any questions i had and i feel very happy already with my results. I will definatley continue to recommend academy clinic. Thank you for everything!
I had breast augmentation with academy 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.
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.
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 academy clinic.🌸🌸🌸
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.
Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!
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!

Your dream appearance is closer than ever — guided by professionals and delivered through four simple, trusted steps.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an innovative hair transplantation technique developed as an evolution of the FUE method. Using a specialized Choi Implanter Pen, hair follicles are extracted one by one and implanted directly into the recipient area. This eliminates the need for creating channels in advance, making the procedure less invasive and more precise.
The procedure is carried out in several precise steps:
Extraction of Follicles: Individual follicles are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the head) using micro-punch tools.
Implantation with Choi Pen: Each follicle is loaded into a Choi Implanter Pen and directly inserted into the scalp at the correct angle, depth, and direction.
Natural Hairline Design: Surgeons design the hairline carefully to ensure a natural aesthetic appearance.
This technique requires a highly skilled medical team, as the process is intricate and time-consuming. Academy Health’s expert surgeons specialize in this advanced approach.
Recovery after DHI is generally faster compared to other techniques. Most patients can return to daily activities within 2–3 days. Mild redness and scabbing may occur but usually disappear within 1–2 weeks. Hair growth becomes noticeable after 3 months, with full results visible within 12–18 months.
To ensure the best outcome, Academy Health provides personalized aftercare, including medication, washing instructions, and regular follow-ups.
DHI hair transplant is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced medical team. Minor risks may include swelling, redness, or temporary shock loss (shedding of transplanted hair). These are normal and temporary. Academy Health minimizes risks by following international safety protocols and offering comprehensive pre- and post-operative care.
