What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 76 Google reviewsI feel very fortunate to have found Dr Fikret Eren. I underwent a botched abdominal liposuction procedure with another surgeon in 2018 and had mulled for years over whether it was worth the risk of undergoing revision surgery. It was then that I consulted with Dr Fikret. Dr Fikret did not make any false promises to me - he was very honest about the limited scope for improvement - and I could immediately see that he had my best interests at heart. I eventually made the decision to go ahead with the revision, combining it with a liposuction procedure on my back (this involved transfer of fat from my back to the depressions in my abdomen). Despite the operation being complex, everything went so smoothly and I had absolutely minimal pain - all thanks to the outstanding skill and care of Dr Fikret and his team. It is still a bit early to determine the final results of the revision to my abdomen, but my back is already looking fabulous - which in itself has made the operation worthwhile. Dr Fikret is clearly a very talented, honest and conscientious surgeon and I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you so much Dr Fikret, Ebru, Bugra and team!
I had my 360-degree tummy tuck on Monday after losing 60 kg. Dr. Eren removed a total of 4.5 kg from my abdomen and flanks. I've been extremely satisfied with the care I've received from the very beginning! The pre-operative marking, the surgery itself, and the aftercare provided by Dr. Eren and his wife were all excellent. This was my second time at Akdeniz Şifa Hospital (my first stay was for a gastric sleeve), and I'll be returning for two more surgeries. Highly recommended!
Since I suffer from lipedema, I had a tummy tuck and lateral back lift in June 2025. The consultation and surgery were excellent. Dr. Fikret Eren is competent and experienced. As a result, I returned to Dr. Eren in February 2026 for liposuction to remove lipedema from my entire legs and an upper arm lift. Again, I can say: excellent doctor and excellent care from the entire team. I have already recommended him to several people.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Fikret. I also thank the Akdeniz Şifa Hospital team for their support.

Assoc. Prof. Eren's Surgical Approach
Assoc. Prof.
Assoc. Prof. Fikret Eren approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than merely tightening its surface. This distinction sits at the heart of how the technique produces natural, durable results.
The deep plane facelift centers on the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of connective tissue and muscle that lies between the skin and the deeper facial structures. As we age, this layer descends, contributing to jowls, deepening folds, and a heavier lower face.
