Estetik International has operated since 1999 under the leadership of plastic surgeon Dr Bülent Cihantimur. Although the group is widely associated with cosmetic surgery, it also maintains a substantial medical-aesthetic department covering injectable treatments, skin rejuvenation and non-surgical facial procedures. Its Istanbul medical centre displays health-tourism and ISO certificates among its official credentials.
Why it ranks #1
Estetik International combines a long operating history with identifiable medical leadership and a dedicated aesthetic focus. Its ability to offer both non-surgical and surgical opinions may also help patients avoid choosing a treatment simply because it is heavily advertised.

Acıbadem Tıp Merkezi Ataşehir
