How we work
Two surgeons, one standard
Our surgeons operate as a team — reviewing complex cases together, following shared protocols for patient selection, surgical technique and aftercare. Prof Bulbuller brings three decades of academic surgery and one of Turkey's largest bariatric case volumes; Dr Habibi brings international fellowship training and published research on surgical safety.
Whichever surgeon performs your operation, the standard is the same: you speak with your surgeon before you book, they perform the operation personally, and they see you every day of your hospital stay.
