Verification standard

How a surgeon enters our network

  • Board certification. Turkish board certification in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, verified against professional registers; European board fellowship (EBOPRAS/FEBOPRAS) preferred.
  • Society membership. Documented membership of national and international societies such as TSPRAS, ISAPS or EBOPRAS, which require continuing education in cosmetic surgery.
  • Accredited hospitals only. Surgery is performed in internationally accredited hospitals with dedicated anesthesia teams.
  • Facelift case volume. We ask for documented, facelift-specific experience — not just general cosmetic surgery practice.
