The question comes first
You do not need to arrive knowing the procedure name. Start with what you want to understand or change.

Consultation
A consultation is not where you choose a procedure. It is where the problem, goals, medical context and limits are made clear enough for a responsible recommendation.
Remote has limits
Photos and video can support orientation, but some decisions require physical examination and medical review.
A “no” can be useful
A responsible consultation may recommend another approach, more time, or no procedure at all.
Initial consultation · Dr. Mert Demirel
Start with
the question,
not the procedure.
Tell us what you are considering, what bothers you and what you want to understand. Your enquiry gives our team the context needed to prepare the right next step.

What happens next?
A clear process
A first message should not lead
into uncertainty.
After your number is saved, the conversation can move from a broad concern to a more useful clinical discussion. Context is gathered first; decisions come later.
You provide the context.
Tell us what you are considering, what has changed, what you expect and what you would like clarified.
We identify what is missing.
Our team reviews the enquiry and, when needed, asks for additional medical context or supporting information.
The real problem is defined.
Anatomy, goals, alternatives, limitations, risks and realistic outcome ranges can then be discussed with Dr. Mert Demirel.
A plan only if it makes sense.
If treatment is appropriate and you choose to continue, the next clinical and logistical steps are explained clearly.

03 · What helps us understand you
The better the context,
the better the first conversation.
Aesthetic concerns rarely exist in isolation. Previous procedures, health history, healing, lifestyle, timing and your own expectations can all change what is reasonable to discuss.
01
Your concern. What would you like to change or understand?
02
Your goal. What would a successful outcome mean to you?
03
Your history. Previous procedures and relevant medical background matter.
04
Your timing. Travel, work, recovery and life plans are part of a realistic decision.
The principle
“The first step is not deciding which operation to have. It is defining whether there is a problem worth treating — and what the safest, most proportionate answer might be.”
What consultation is
A place to
understand.
- Listening to what actually concerns you
- Explaining the anatomy and mechanism
- Comparing reasonable options
- Discussing limits, risks and recovery
- Setting realistic expectations
What consultation is not
A pressure
to proceed.
- A guarantee of a particular result
- A standard package applied to everyone
- A decision made before examining the problem
- A reason to perform a procedure that is not appropriate
- A substitute for informed medical decision-making
04 · International consultation
Planning from abroad
starts before the flight.
For international patients, the consultation also helps establish whether a trip to Istanbul is sensible before dates, accommodation or treatment logistics are considered. Medical suitability comes before travel planning.

05 · Before you decide
Evaluate the surgeon
as carefully as the procedure.
Consultation works both ways. You are not only being evaluated; you are also deciding whether the surgeon’s standards, communication and judgment are right for you.

Your next step
You do not need
to know the answer yet.
Start with the question.
Start with your number. We can gather the context in conversation and decide the next step based on information rather than assumptions.
Request consultation ↑Decision checkpoint
A good consultation narrows uncertainty — it does not manufacture certainty.
The value of consultation is not the speed of a quote. It is whether your goals, anatomy, medical history, alternatives and limits become clearer than they were before the conversation.
Dr. Mert Demirel
Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery
Anatomy first. Proportion over excess. Decisions built to remain coherent over time.
Private consultation
Start with the problem you want to understand.
You do not need to diagnose yourself or select a procedure in advance. Share the concern and context first; the clinical discussion can develop from there.
