What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 152 Google reviewsI have nothing but amazing things to say about my experience with Dr. Sedat and his team. I underwent a 360 tummy tuck with lipo, breast lift with fat transfer and BBL in December 2025. I’m almost 4 months post op and am incredibly happy with my results. At no point did I experience any pain or feel like I wasn’t being adequately taken care of. I was taken care of by Dr. Sedat’s team from the moment I walked out of the airport until I went home. All transportation in Istanbul, hotel, hospital stay, aftercare and massages were all arranged by his team. Dr. Sedat is extremely professional and explained all aspects of how the surgery process would go. He answered all my questions and always checked in to make sure I understood what he was explaining. During my recovery the nurses checked in on me every day, changed my garments, came to my hotel to help me shower and were available whenever I needed them. Since leaving Istanbul his team has checked in on me several times to make sure everything has been healing properly and have been there to answer all questions. I can’t wait to go back again for my next surgery later this year!
I had my surgery with Dr Sedat on the 4th of November, and I’m now just over 3 months post-op and I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had a BBL, extended tummy tuck, breast lift, 360 lipo, thigh lipo and skin tightening, and I can honestly say this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the very beginning, Dr Sedat made me feel safe, heard, and confident in my decision. He was honest about what was realistic for my body, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Now that I’m a few months into recovery, my results are really settling and the difference is incredible. My waist is snatched, my stomach is flat, my shape looks natural but enhanced, and my body finally feels proportional. Even through the swelling stages, I could already see how carefully and precisely he works. He truly understands the female body and how to sculpt it beautifully, not excessively. Post-op care was also amazing. Any concerns I had were addressed, and I felt supported throughout my recovery. Surgery is not easy, but having a surgeon who genuinely cares makes all the difference. If you’re considering surgery and want a surgeon who is skilled, professional, honest, and detail-oriented, I 100% recommend Dr Sedat. I would choose him again without hesitation. Thank you for changing my life and giving me my confidence back 🤍
I had my BBL surgery with Dr. Sedat Tatar and the experience exceeded every expectation. The procedure was done in a luxury hospital setting with 24/7 care during the first 48 hours. Every detail was handled flawlessly — constant monitoring, impeccable care, and a level of attention that made me feel completely safe and supported. Post-surgery, I stayed in a recovery apartment with professional aftercare, including massages and daily health checks. Even now, at 6.5 weeks post-op, the team continues to check in, which truly reflects their dedication. Dr. Sedat Tatar is an exceptional surgeon — highly skilled, personally involved, and with an incredible eye for detail. My results are beautiful and natural, and I receive compliments almost daily. I would recommend him and this clinic without hesitation to anyone seeking luxury-level care and outstanding results.
An ocean of gratitude to Dr Tatar. I recently had a mommy makeover performed by Dr. Seda Tatar, including a breast lift, implant removal, liposuction, body shaping, and repair of my rectus abdominis separation. I am exceptionally satisfied with the results, beyond anything I had hoped for. After two children, I finally feel at home in my body again, and I’ve regained confidence I thought I had lost. As a physician myself, I was extremely careful when choosing a surgeon. I wanted someone I could fully trust, someone meticulous, skilled, and genuinely attentive. From the very beginning, Dr. Tatar exceeded my expectations. He listened closely to my needs, explained every step clearly, and made me feel completely safe throughout the entire process. During my recovery, he followed up with me every single day, checking on my healing and making sure I was comfortable and informed. His team was equally outstanding professional, supportive, and consistently attentive both during my stay and afterward. The continuity of care has been remarkable. Today, I absolutely love my body. The transformation is not only physical but emotional as well. Choosing Dr. Tatar was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery. In my personal experience, he is an exceptional surgeon, and I am deeply grateful for his work. A special Thank You To miss Pinar and the sweet nurses (Love and Meltem) You made me feel safe.

Dr. Tatar's Surgical Approach
Dr. Sedat Tatar approaches deep plane facelift surgery by working beneath the skin's surface to reposition the deeper facial structures.
Dr. Sedat Tatar approaches deep plane facelift surgery by working beneath the skin's surface to reposition the deeper facial structures. This method targets the underlying anatomy responsible for facial aging rather than addressing the skin alone.
The central element of the technique is the SMAS layer — the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue that lies between the skin and the deeper facial structures. As this layer descends with age, the face loses its youthful contour.
