Key takeaways

  • Prof. Dr. Suleyman Tas offers online consultations via Zoom and in-person consultations in Istanbul.

  • Start by sending a 1–2 minute video and photos with your concerns and medical details via WhatsApp.

  • The consultation fee is paid in advance, a registration form is completed, and the team confirms your details and schedules the appointment.

  • Preparing a simulation of your expectations helps the discussion; if expectations are realistic, the next steps are planned together.

Why book a consultation?

Whether you are considering surgery with Prof. Dr. Suleyman Tas or simply want an expert opinion about the options for your case, a consultation is the right first step. It gives you a personalised assessment of what can be achieved, which technique suits you, what recovery involves and whether your goals are realistic.

The 6 steps of a consultation

1. Send a short video and photos

Send a 1–2 minute video and clear photos to the clinic's WhatsApp line (+90 543 456 36 93). In the video, explain your complaints and expectations and include:

  • Your name and surname

  • Your occupation

  • Any diseases, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV

  • Regular medications

  • Whether you smoke

  • Any allergies

  • Any previous surgery

2. Pay for the consultation

Complete the payment for an online or in-person consultation; the team will send the current fee and payment options.

3. Complete the registration form

Fill in the registration form provided by the clinic and send it back via WhatsApp.

4. Confirmation

Before your consultation, the team contacts you to finalise and check the required information.

5. Schedule the consultation

Online consultations are held on Zoom; in-person consultations take place at the Prof. Dr. Suleyman Tas Clinic medical centre in Istanbul.

6. Share your expectations

Before the consultation, prepare a simple simulation of your expectations using a photo-editing or simulation app. You will discuss it during the call; if your expectations are realistic, the next steps are planned. Read about simulation in rhinoplasty.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have surgery after an online consultation?

Yes. Many international patients consult online, then travel to Istanbul for an in-person examination and surgery.

Is the consultation fee deducted from the surgery cost?

Ask the team for the current policy when booking.

Which languages are available?

Consultations are available in English and Turkish.

Next step

Book your consultation through Prof. Dr. Suleyman Tas Clinic contact or the online booking page.

What happens in the first consultation?

An examination, standardised photographs and a discussion of what can and cannot be changed, which technique is planned, what the recovery involves and what it costs — before any date is booked.

Can I have a consultation before travelling to Istanbul?

Yes. For international patients an online consultation with photographs is the usual first step, followed by a face-to-face examination before surgery.

What should I bring to the consultation?

Your medical history and medication list, notes and photographs from any previous operation, and the questions that matter most to you. Photographs of results you like help the discussion, as long as they are treated as a direction rather than a template.
