Rather than relying on photos or online conversations alone, you gain the reassurance of meeting the surgeon in person before committing to international travel. Prof. Karacalar examines you, answers every question, and gives you a written plan — all before you book a flight.
You leave with a clear quote and the confidence that comes from having met the person who will actually perform your procedure.
A relaxed, face-to-face conversation about your goals — no time pressure, no sales talk.
Prof. Karacalar examines your legs, proportions and skin quality and tells you what is realistic.

Realistic expectations, recovery timelines, risks and the outcome you can anticipate.
A written plan with transparent, all-inclusive pricing based on your needs.
Our patient team coordinates dates, transfers, accommodation and post-operative care.
Trust is built face to face. You discuss your goals openly with the surgeon who will operate — before you travel anywhere.
Every recommendation is tailored to your anatomy, your stage and the result you actually want.
Clear professional guidance, including when the answer is “not yet” or “not this” — and no obligation to proceed.
A detailed plan with realistic expectations and transparent costs, so nothing is left to guess.
Dates, hospital, hotel and transfers handled by an English-speaking coordinator.
Meeting in person removes the uncertainty of committing to surgery abroad.
Superdry 4D lymph-sparing liposuction, staged planning, knee protection and the compression plan that keeps the result.
Bow legs, knock knees, calves, ankles and knees — shaped as one continuous line from hip to foot.
Fibrous bands released, surface fat smoothed and skin quality rebuilt — surgical and non-surgical options.
Prof. Karacalar holds in-person consultations in London every month, giving UK patients the chance to discuss their goals face to face before committing. Each appointment includes a personal assessment, honest recommendations, an overview of your treatment options and time for every question you have.
