About

Internationally recognised for his expertise in plastic surgery, Prof. Dr. Fuat Yüksel is a board-certified plastic surgeon with 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). He performs his procedures in Istanbul.

Born in Ankara, Prof. 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, Prof. Dr. Fuat attained the 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:

Breast augmentation, reduction and lift

Liposuction

Rhinoplasty

Facelift

Tummy tuck

Buttocks augmentation

Prof. 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). 

Prof. 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. 

Prof. Dr. Fuat is also a practising educator, sharing his knowledge of the latest developments and innovations in the field of plastic surgery. 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 Prof. Dr. Fuat’s favourite things to do is to 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.

Lucy Goodman★★★★★His expertise and attention to detail are unparalleled, and I am beyond ecstatic with the results.

I recently traveled to Istanbul for a septorhinoplasty procedure arranged by Longevita, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with my experience from start to finish. From the moment I first contacted Longevita, the entire process has been seamless and incredibly professional. The procedure itself, performed by the highly esteemed Prof. Dr. Fuat was everything I had hoped for and more. His expertise and attention to detail are unparalleled, and I am beyond ecstatic with the results. I truly feel like I’ve received the nose of my dreams. Dr. Fuat and his team made me feel comfortable and well-cared for, explaining everything clearly and addressing any concerns I had. I would wholeheartedly recommend Longevita and Prof. Dr. Fuat to anyone considering this procedure!

Jade Swan★★★★★I couldn't be happier with my outcome!

Olah★★★★★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.

Michelle Cooper★★★★★My surgeon Dr Fuat was amazing and I’m so happy with my results already!

I would like to say thank you to all the staff at Longevita. I traveled to Turkey alone and felt safe and was looked after from the minute I got off the plane. My surgeon Dr Fuat was amazing and I’m so happy with my results already, even though it’s early days. My […] was Gizem and Baris. They were very welcoming and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend 5* […]. Thank you all so much!

Jenny Mchale★★★★★You have changed my life… Thank you.

I used Longevita to arrange my breast reduction procedure... I can not fault my process from initially getting in contact at the beginning of the year till now 8 days after my operation… I feel wonderful… My surgeon Dr Fuat was so amazingly calm.. lovely.. he explained everything... even coming to visit me when he had finished surgeries. I have literally had the best time… […] I met lots of lovely people along the way too.. I would definitely recommend Longevita to everyone… and certainly use you again in the future... you have changed my life… Thank you. x

Leila Afraz★★★★★Dr Fuat is a master in his field. He is also very humble and easy to communicate with.

I would highly recommend Longevita to anyone considering having a breast reduction and uplift surgery. Dr Fuat and the whole team were amazing from start to finish. Extremely professional and I honestly felt completely safe and at ease. Dr Fuat is a master in his field. He is also very humble and easy to communicate with. He explained everything clearly and advised on what size would be suitable for me. We reviewed a number of past surgery images and the results were amazing, so I felt even more at ease. I explained what I wanted and along with Dr Fuat’s advice we decided on what size and shape to go with. I am almost 3 weeks post op and I am extremely happy with the results already. The only regret I have is that I didn’t do this sooner 🙂 Thank you very much Dr Fuat and Longevita for everything.

Gabrielle Moore★★★★★He was very professional and made me feel comfortable throughout.

Brilliant from start to finish. Couldn't fault my surgeon Dr Fuat, very professional and made me feel comfortable throughout. My […] was Mert, he helped me throughout the whole process. Between […] answering all my questions, he was amazing.

Mhairi kirk★★★★★Thank you Longevita!

I am recently back from Turkey. I underwent breast augmentation and I am blown away by the results. The process was amazing from start to finish. I received a very high standard of care throughout. 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!
