Located in Istanbul, our clinic is a destination for international and local patients seeking safe, modern, and effective bariatric treatments. With our highly skilled team and advanced facilities, we ensure each patient receives personalized care and support throughout their weight loss journey.

Bariatric surgery refers to a range of medical procedures designed to help individuals with obesity lose significant weight. It involves reducing stomach size or altering the digestive process to limit calorie intake. 

Popular options include:

• Gastric Sleeve Surgery: This involves removing a large portion of the stomach, reducing its capacity and aiding in portion control.
• Gastric Bypass: Alters the digestive pathway, reducing calorie absorption and supporting sustained weight loss.

Each surgery type is tailored to meet the individual health needs of the patient, ensuring optimal results.

Bariatric surgery can offer a multitude of health improvements, including:

• Sustainable weight loss, which helps in managing obesity-related health risks.
• Reduced risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular conditions.
• Improved sleep quality and reduced risk of sleep apnea.
• Increased energy levels, allowing for a more active, fulfilling lifestyle.

While bariatric surgery is not suitable for everyone, it can be life-changing for those who qualify. At Once Smile, we carefully evaluate each patient through:

• Comprehensive medical assessments.
• Reviewing the patient’s health history.
• Discussing the patient’s personal health and wellness goals.

If you have struggled with obesity and conventional weight loss methods have been ineffective, you might be a candidate for bariatric surgery.

To ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure, we guide patients through key preparatory steps:

• Medical Consultation: An in-depth consultation with a bariatric specialist to determine the most appropriate procedure.
• Comprehensive Health Screening: Blood tests and other assessments to confirm your health status.
• Nutritional Guidance: Pre-surgery dietary recommendations to prepare your body for the procedure.

These preparatory steps contribute to a smooth surgery experience and increase the likelihood of successful outcomes.

At Once Smile, our commitment to patient success extends beyond the procedure. Our aftercare program is designed to support sustainable results through:

• Regular Follow-Up Appointments: Monitoring weight loss and health improvements post-surgery.
• Dietary and Fitness Guidance: Providing patients with custom nutrition and exercise plans that promote lasting results and a healthy lifestyle.

These follow-up services are crucial for helping patients adapt to their new lifestyle and maintain their weight loss.

Many patients at Once Smile have experienced remarkable transformations through bariatric surgery. We take pride in delivering personalized solutions that improve our patients’ quality of life, enabling them to lead healthier, more active lives.
