“Founded by the internationally respected plastic surgeon Dr. Bülent Cihantimur” source page
In aesthetic surgery, who operates, where, and under whose anaesthesia matters as much as the procedure's name. This is what the clinic states; ask for it in writing.

A group that describes itself as certified for health tourism, with operations in Istanbul and Bursa. We have not read a licence class. The Istanbul site is called a hospital in one place and a clinic in another, and the years in practice are given as 26, 27 and 30+.
The clinic and its approach
The site describes Estetik International as a healthcare group certified for health tourism, founded in 1999, with Dr. Bülent Cihantimur as president and founder. Eight doctors are listed, among them Cihantimur, Aytaç, Aslandağ, Yürekli, Esen, Taş, İpek and Başı.
The Istanbul site is on Büyükdere Caddesi in the Quasar building. The footer calls it Istanbul Quasar Hospital and the Bursa site Bursa Hospital, while the clinic page calls it Estetik International Quasar Clinic. Which licence class applies is not stated on the pages we read.
Logos of professional societies such as ISAPS and ESAPS appear on the site. They show society memberships of individuals, not accreditation of the facility. Counts such as "over 528,000 procedures" are the group's own and we show them only as attributed.
