After a long weight-loss journey, countless consultations with plastic surgeons, and weighing all the risks and costs, I chose Dr. Yucel Sarialtin—and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Dr. Yucel is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon but also one of the kindest professionals you’ll meet (check his Instagram!). His smile instantly puts you at ease and makes you feel confident in his expertise. The process might be a bit different from what you’d expect in the U.S.—most of the communication happens through WhatsApp—but don’t let that throw you off! That’s just how they operate, and trust me, it works smoothly. A huge shoutout to Carolina Kart, Dr. Yucel’s multilingual assistant (she speaks English, Spanish, and Turkish). She is hands down one of the most professional, caring, and dedicated people I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From the moment you reach out, Carolina goes above and beyond to ensure you feel safe, supported, and informed every step of the way. The nurses and rest of the team are equally kind and nice. As for my procedures—tummy tuck, liposuction, arm lift, and gynecomastia correction—the results speak for themselves. I feel amazing, and I’m thrilled with the results! If you’re considering plastic surgery—whether a major transformation like mine or a smaller procedure—don’t take chances with your health. Put your trust in Dr. Yucel Sarialtin and his fantastic team. They’ll help you achieve the results you want and deserve!

Ich wurde am 20.3.2021 vom Lieblingsarzt Dr. Yücel Sarialtin operiert. Sehr sympathisch sehr professionell. Der Aufenthalt im Krankenhaus sehr gut danke an alle 1 Woche später bin ich zurück nach Deutschland geflogen. Jede Woche bin ich mit der Assistentin Yagmur in Kontakt. Vor Ort und danach sogar jetzt noch kümmern sie sich sehr um mich. Was besseres konnte mir nicht passieren. Ich bin so froh und würde auch für die nächste OP wieder dahin fliegen. Bester Arzt ❤️ bestes Team❤️ Bis bald

He really listened to what I wanted and made everything feel super smooth and natural. I’m loving the result—fresh, glowy, and still totally me. Definitely coming back when I’m in Istanbul again!

Easiest 5 star I’ve ever given. Carolina made this the easiest, smoothest and reassuring surgery ever. She helped me every step of the way, every question I had, every transfer I had she organised smooth and accomodating. Dr Yucel is very very lucky to have her and honestly I don’t think my experience could have been the same without her. I enquired and ended up booking 12 months later and throughout that time I had many many questions she was always happy to answer. I had a rhinoplasty done by Dr Yucel. The surgery itself, was an absolute breeze. Dr Yucel listened to everything I asked for and I am so unbelievably happy with my results! Dr Yucel is not only incredibly kind, but incredibly good at what he does. Including him, everyone on his team is so helpful and kind but Carolina is the star of the show! I can not express enough her patience and kindness. Getting surgery done overseas is scary but she never failed to answer every single one of my many questions. I flew in from Australia and was taken care of the minute I landed to the minuet I left. Even post op, I still have questions and am still being looked after via WhatsApp. The price I was quoted was the price - there was no hidden fees or costs at all. My only regret was not seeing him for my breast augmentation! If I ever require surgery in the future I will 100% be coming back to see him.

I had surgery 2 weeks ago by Dr Yucel Sarialtin. I have been to almost every doctor in Istanbul, but this doctor is so spontaneous and gives so much attention to his patient, I immediately felt good. I've had a Tummytuck 360 Lipo and BBL! What a great result I couldn't have imagined it better! Dear people please find the right doctor!!! Because I also had the same operation in 2019, but this doctor mutilated me, and Yucel Sarialtin had to correct this again, which of course makes the operation more difficult. I recommend this doctor 100%! & of course his team also lots of kisses to Buse Bayram Aysegul who helped me through this period

What is a Q Switch Laser?

Q Switch, which is an advanced technology product, shoots much faster and stronger when compared to standard laser devices. Owing to that, it does not harm other tissues. Because the shot is fast and powerful, there is no heat escape towards the environment and the laser accuracy is directly on the target area.

Q Switch pulse duration is approximately one millionth of a second. It is possible to get rid of age blemishes and sunspots with Q Switch. At the same time, birthmarks and tattoos can be removed with the Q Switch.

Q Switch technology, applied with maximum efficiency, is a lot more effective in removing pigments than multi-pulse devices. Since the procedure is performed with a single blow, risks such as tissue change or bleeding are also minimized.

Q Switch, which is a single device, has 4 different wavelengths and the wavelengths are adjusted according to the condition of the blemishes on the patient's skin. Before starting the Q Switch treatment, the patient should be examined by a specialist doctor and should be informed about the process.

What Purposes is Q Switch Used For?

Q Switch is one of the most preferred methods for the treatment of stains on the skin and the removal of undesirable tattoos. In addition to all these, it is possible to treat age blemishes, sunspots, birthmarks and freckles with the Q switch. In addition, the following operations can be performed with the Q Switch laser application:

  • Tattoo removal,
  • Skin rejuvenation and toning application due to increasing the amount of collagen in the body,
  • Treatment of toenail fungus,
  • Problems around the eyes
  • Pigment lesions,

  • The Carbon Peel,
  • Tightening of pores,
  • Removal of wrinkles.

In addition, the Q Switch laser is a very effective method for hair bleaching. Moreover, after the hairs are bleached, there is no stain left on the skin. Although hair bleaching is a non-permanent method, results can be seen from the first session.

Those who have Q Switch laser hair bleaching in the face, arms, chest and back areas can repeat the procedure at intervals of 5 to 6 weeks. There is no harm in repeating the process at these intervals.

Blemish Treatment with Q Switch

Standard laser methods used for blemish treatment all over the world create heat in the area, causing burning and thus skin problems. However, this is not the case for Q Switch laser blemish treatment.

In other words, while effective results are obtained, tissue damage does not occur. In addition, side effects are negligible and occur rarely.

Before the Q Switch laser blemish treatment to be applied, an anesthetic cream is applied after the skin is completely cleaned. However, there is no such requirement for some patients. Treatment of blemishes on the skin is carried out with 1 or 3 sessions of approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

After the application, the skin is completely renewed and the results are seen in approximately 6 months. Wrinkles formed after laser treatment will disappear on their own in a short time and there will be no irritation or scarring in the area.

Thanks to the Q Switch method, age blemishes and sunspots that cannot be treated with cream and that occur due to increased melanocyte can also be treated. In addition to all these, the treatment of acne blemishes and birthmarks is also possible with Q Switch. When stain treatment is performed together with carbon peel, the results will be much more effective.

Tattoo Removal with Q Switch

Tattoos made with great desire or enthusiasm, loss of that excitement after a certain point, or different reasons can also be distressing. Although it was not possible to remove tattoos in the past, people often had to cover these tattoos with other tattoos, but nowadays it has become possible to completely get rid of these tattoos with the Q Switch method.

Tattoos with different colors can be removed quickly and effectively thanks to the 4 different wavelengths of the Q Switch device. With the applied Q Switch laser blemish treatment, the dye under the skin is fragmented and divided into very small pieces.

Over time, these dyes are removed from the body through the lymph circulation. In addition, the production of collagen in the body is increased with the Q Switch laser tattoo removal process. Thus, it becomes possible for the body to have a much smoother, younger and healthier appearance.

The success of the Q Switch method in tattoo removal has been proven by the applications carried out so far. As a matter of fact, the positive Q Switch laser tattoo removal comments made by those who have benefited from the application also show this.

What Should Be Considered After Having Q Switch?

As after many laser applications, after the Q Switch application, the area where the operation is performed becomes sensitive depending on the heat energy and laser beams. In order to avoid sunspots, especially in the first 24 hours after the treatment, direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided. This is valid for tattoo removal using the Q switch method and all other skin rejuvenation applications.
