Sona Health Turkey

Sona Health Turkey is a multi-specialty health center established in 2024. The clinic is located in Istanbul's Şişli district. It works as a specialized health tourism coordinator with five distinct departments. The facility holds an official approval badge from the Turkish Ministry of Health and Tourism.

Coordinated Clinical Care

The clinic organizes medical pathways by partnering with major healthcare facilities in Istanbul. Most surgical operations take place at Acıbadem Hospital İstanbul. This partnership means patients receive treatment in a full-scale hospital environment. A dedicated team of consultants manages each step of the treatment process. The clinic has coordinated care for patients from Germany, France, and Denmark.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The plastic surgery department performs aesthetic and restorative procedures. Specialists repair damage from congenital abnormalities, injuries, and tumors. For patients seeking rhinoplasty, the clinic offers several advanced surgical techniques:

• Closed Technique Natural Rhinoplasty
• Rhinoplasty with Piezo (ultrasonic bone shaping)
• Open Technique Rhinoplasty
• Revision Rhinoplasty
• Tipplasty for nose tip correction

Surgical planning for rhinoplasty typically includes one night of hospitalization. Body contouring options include abdominoplasty to remove excess abdominal fat and skin. Surgeons also perform Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures using fat transfer methods. These operations generally take around 3 hours under general anesthesia. Notable specialists include Dr. Erdem Güven and Dr. Mehmet Sağır.

Weight Loss and Obesity Treatment

The obesity department offers both surgical and non-surgical slimming programs. Lead specialist Dr. İsmail Hamzaoğlu oversees personalized obesity surgery planning. Surgical methods include laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In this procedure, surgeons remove 80% of the stomach. The clinic also performs Roux-en-Y and Mini Gastric Bypass procedures.

Non-surgical weight loss options include two types of gastric balloons:

• Allurion (Elipse) swallowable balloon requiring no anesthesia
• Standard 6-month gastric balloon removed endoscopically

Standard balloon removal requires a 3-day liquid diet beforehand. Specialists then evacuate the balloon liquid and remove the device under sedation. This endoscopic approach reduces stomach capacity without permanent surgical changes.

Reproductive Medicine and IVF

The IVF department treats couples facing hormonal imbalances or low sperm quality. Specialists like Dr. Bülent Tıraş and Dr. Tansu Küçük manage the fertilization processes. The clinic uses in vitro fertilization when natural conception is difficult. Mature eggs are fertilized in a laboratory before embryos are transferred to the uterus.

Before starting treatment, the department evaluates patients for underlying hormonal disorders. This diagnostic approach helps determine the most effective reproductive pathway for each couple.

Services for International Patients

Sona Health Turkey provides coordinated logistics for all international arrivals. The clinic offers interpreter support in 26 languages during medical consultations. Patients receive VIP airport transfers directly to their designated accommodation. The clinic partners with 5-star facilities, including Sürmeli Hotel İstanbul, for recovery stays.

Travel packages typically include 5–6 nights at a partner hotel following the procedure. The medical team coordinates all transport between the hotel and hospital for appointments. Consultants remain available throughout the stay to bridge communication with hospital staff.
