About

Education and Career

Dr. Hakki Izmirli was born in Istanbul in 1974. He attended Taksim Primary School, Beyoglu Secondary School and Taksim Atatürk High School, and completed his medical education at Istanbul University.

After completing his residency in Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Kocaeli University, he completed his compulsory service at Derince Training and Research Hospital. After working in his own clinic in Sakarya for one year, he decided to continue his career in Istanbul, working for one year at a private hospital in Levent and for two years at a private aesthetic clinic in Fulya.

Today he sees patients at his own practice in Nisantasi and performs his operations in fully equipped private hospitals in Istanbul. He continues his academic work through scientific articles published in international journals and presentations at national and international congresses.

A Natural, Results-Focused Approach

For Dr. Izmirli, a successful aesthetic operation is one that does not look “operated” and suits the person’s face and body. That is why he prepares a personal plan for every patient rather than following a standard template.

  • Direct contact with your surgeon from the first consultation to post-operative check-ups
  • A treatment plan built together with clear, honest and realistic goals
  • Natural-looking results that are still you — never overdone
  • For international patients, the consultation, accommodation and recovery are planned from start to finish

Areas of Expertise

Expertise and Skills

Dr. Hakki Izmirli has experience in almost every area of aesthetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery. In every operation his aim is a natural, proportionate result that suits the patient’s own features.

Body Aesthetics

For body contouring he performs high-definition sculpting with 4D VASER Hi-Definition liposuction to reveal muscle definition. With tummy tuck, arm lift and thigh lift he removes loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, and reshapes the post-pregnancy body in a single operation with a mommy makeover. For the buttocks he performs both the Brazilian butt lift (BBL) and buttock implant surgery, which few surgeons perform regularly.

Breast Aesthetics

He performs breast augmentation, breast lift, breast lift with implants and breast reduction with individual planning. For patients who do not want implants he offers fat transfer to the breast, and for those who wish to have their implants removed, breast implant removal. Treatment of gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia in men is also among his specialties.

Revision Surgery

Correction of nose, breast and body operations performed elsewhere that did not give the expected result, including asymmetry, shape irregularities and implant problems.

Facial Aesthetics

Rhinoplasty with open, closed and piezo (ultrasonic) techniques; facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, forehead lift, lip lift, ear surgery and facial fat injection.

Gender-Affirming Surgery

As a Full Member of WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health), he performs top surgery (FTM mastectomy and chest contouring) for trans men.

Non-Surgical Treatments

Facial rejuvenation without surgery with Botox® / Dysport®, fillers injected with a blunt-tip cannula and Sculptra®.

I finally have the nose I had dreamed of for years.

I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Hakki about 6 months ago. Although it was an operation I had put off for years, Dr. Hakki’s approach and reassuring manner overcame all my fears. I had almost no pain after surgery and hardly any bruising. His attentiveness, the way he treats patients and how he kept following up after surgery really give you great confidence. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I felt I was in very safe hands.

A good doctor who takes time for his patients and responds to their wishes while remaining professional. I felt I was in very safe hands and I am very happy with the results so far.

He gave me confidence by explaining how he would approach the operation.

Before the operation he understood my questions and concerns. After a successful operation I could reach him whenever I wanted and was always met with attention and warmth. I thank Dr. Hakki for the care, sincerity and kindness he showed both before and after surgery.
