Dr Fuat - Plastic Surgeon

Dr Fuat is an internationally renowned and highly skilled plastic surgeon who is board-certified by the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TSPRAS) and has been in the medical practice for over 34 years. He also belongs to the very small group of plastic surgeons in Turkey who are active members of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

Born in Ankara, Dr Fuat enrolled in the Gulhane Training and Research Hospital (GEAH), previously known as Gülhane Military Medical Academy (GATA), in 1982, earning his diploma in Doctor of Medicine (MD) after 6 years of study. Subsequently, he completed his 5-year specialist training in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Haydaprasa Numune Training and Research Hospital in Istanbul, then called GATA Haydarpaşa Training Hospital, in which he later served as an Assistant Professor.

He also held the position of Visiting Professor for a year at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia — one of the US’ foremost national universities. Eventually, Dr Fuat attained the most prestigious title of a Professor in 2009 and, in the same year, was named the Chief of Service of the Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic at GATA Haydarpaşa Training Hospital. After 2011, he transitioned to full-time private practice, offering a variety of surgical treatments, including:

Dr Fuat also offers non-surgical aesthetic treatments, including Botox and filler. As well, he is a member of the Turkish Society of Reconstructive Microsurgery (a type of surgery that uses a person’s own tissue for the purposes of reconstruction). 

Dr Fuat has also been very prolific in his academic endeavours, having written the book “The Story of the Breast from History to Today” and co-authored a chapter in the textbook “Atlas of Whole Body Contouring.” He has also published numerous papers and research articles, which have appeared in peer-reviewed and reputable journals, including ISAPS’ Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, European Journal of Plastic Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and ANZ Journal of Surgery, among others. 

Dr Fuat is also a practising educator, sharing his knowledge of the latest developments and innovations in the field of plastic surgery. Being a respected authority, he has also been quoted in a variety of media publications, including the Daily Mail, The Mirror, and the Daily Express

Now living in Istanbul, one of Dr Fuat’s favourite things to do is watch football, especially the Premier League (he’s a Cityzen at heart). Other than that, he loves swimming and listening to the smooth and soulful notes of jazz.

Amazing Company!
I went with longevita for a breast uplift and implants, a year prior to my surgery they answered all my questions, made sure i felt comfortable and reassured me i was in safe hands. The week of my surgery when i flew out to istanbul i knew i had made a great decision, they were welcoming, caring and the nurses that look after you there are fab! My surgeon was Dr Fuat and i can’t recommend him enough he is so good at his job and has given me exactly what i asked for, i will be using longevita again and im so grateful for what they have i done.

Dr Fuat is gifted beyond…
Dr Fuat is gifted beyond measures. His expertise is excellent with so much attention to detail bearing in mind health restrictions and standards. He has maintained a good record over the years and I won't hesitate to chose him over and over again. His experience is not worth comparing.

Absolutely amazing
The whole experience has been so smooth and easy with top rated service. Mert was second to none, couldn't help enough! Very patient and understanding, always on hand to answer any questions whatever the time or day. Prof. Dr. Fuat has been amazing, very professional and answered all questions/concerns. Extremely skilled, so happy I took my time researching who to go with, because I couldn't be happier with my outcome.

breast reduction surgery
Longevita have been really helpful throughout the whole process, before and after my surgery. They have always been available over the phone to answer any questions. I had to cancel my surgery last minute due to unforeseen circumstances and Longevita were so understanding and supportive. They rescheduled my surgery with no issues at all. My surgeon Dr Fuat listened to what I wanted and done exactly that whilst providing the best standard of care. I had a breast reduction and I am over the moon with my results. The clinic was spotlessly clean and all the staff have been great throughout. I would highly recommend Longevita as they are trustworthy and provide the best clinics/hospitals and aftercare. I would 100% go back to Dr Fuat if I ever have cosmetic surgery again.

Thank you Longevita!
I am recently back from visiting Longevita in Turkey to undergo breast augmentation and I am blown away by the results. The process was amazing from start to finish and I received a very high standard of care throughout. Visiting Longevita has given me the confidence I lacked for years, and for the first time I am excited to wear a bikini on holiday this summer! I couldn't recommend Longevita and Dr Fuat enough!
