When considering medical aesthetics in Turkey, patients should evaluate physician identity, treatment scope, product traceability, medical history review, realistic risk discussion and follow-up planning before comparing price or social media results. Botox, dermal fillers, HIFU, radiofrequency microneedling, Profhilo, Skinbooster and PRP are non-surgical medical procedures; surgical needs such as facelift, blepharoplasty or rhinoplasty should be referred to a board-certified plastic surgery specialist. Dr. Hamza Gemici is a medical aesthetics physician in Ataşehir, Istanbul, and an Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine graduate. This page is patient education, not remote diagnosis or individualized treatment advice.
1. Confirm physician identity and scope
The first safety question is not price. It is who is medically responsible for the consultation, indication and follow-up. Patients should be able to identify the physician, medical degree, practice scope and referral boundary. Dr. Hamza Gemici is a Medical Aesthetics Physician, not a plastic surgeon. Non-surgical procedures are evaluated in clinic; surgical needs are referred to the appropriate surgical specialty.
2. Ask about product traceability
For botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers, safety starts with traceability. Patients may ask about the product name, box, lot number, expiry date, storage requirements and why that product was selected for the anatomical area. “Original product” is not enough by itself; product choice should be connected to indication, tissue plane and risk profile.
3. Expect medical history review
A safe consultation should review pregnancy or breastfeeding, neuromuscular disease, active infection, allergies, autoimmune history, anticoagulant use, previous complications and current medication. Facial photographs and aesthetic goals are useful, but they do not replace medical history. Saying no or postponing treatment can be the correct medical decision.
4. Avoid guarantee language
Medical aesthetic outcomes vary by anatomy, muscle activity, skin quality, product, dose, technique and aftercare. Claims such as “guaranteed result”, “painless”, “best doctor” or “years younger” are not reliable decision criteria. Safer communication explains suitability, alternatives, risks, recovery and follow-up.
5. Plan follow-up and emergency contact
Patients should know what is expected after treatment and what requires urgent review. Filler clinics should have access to hyaluronidase for hyaluronic acid filler complications.

Frequently asked questions
What should international patients check first?
Check physician identity, medical responsibility, treatment scope, product traceability, complication planning and follow-up access before comparing price or social media results.
Is a medical aesthetics physician the same as a plastic surgeon?
No. A medical aesthetics physician works with non-surgical procedures. Surgical procedures such as facelift, blepharoplasty and rhinoplasty belong to plastic surgery or the relevant surgical specialty.
Can results be guaranteed?
No. Outcomes vary by anatomy, indication, product, dose, technique and aftercare. A physician should explain realistic ranges and risks, not guarantee a result.
What product questions should I ask?
Ask for the product name, lot number, expiry date, why it was selected, alternatives, and whether hyaluronidase is available for HA filler management.
Is this page personal medical advice?
No. It is general patient education. Individual suitability requires face-to-face physician assessment and medical history review.
