Only put your body in the hands of an expert

Dr. Hasan corrected a failed previous surgery. I went to a plastic surgeon for a waist-narrowing procedure by removing portions of the 3 lower ribs on each side. The well-known surgeon said he had performed many rib surgeries. However, the outcome was worse than my original shape! I was left with deformities and pain, but no waist narrowing. Dr. Hasan gave me a normal shape again, and gave me the improvements I originally sought. More and more plastic surgeons are advertising these waist-narrowing procedures. Please don’t go to a plastic surgeon for surgery requiring specialist expertise. Such a procedure should be done by true thoracic surgeon like Dr Hasan, especially for safety. This is not liposuction, this type of operation requires knowledge of how to work around your lungs! I feel completely safe in his hands. Thank you Dr Hasan for resolving my pain, and the gift of feeling confident of how my body looks again.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience so openly.

Procedures involving the ribs and chest wall are not purely cosmetic interventions. They require a deep understanding of thoracic anatomy, rib biomechanics, and — most importantly — safety around the lungs and respiratory system.

When planning each treatment, our priority is not only to improve external appearance, but also to restore anatomical balance, relieve discomfort, and preserve long-term structural harmony of the chest wall.

Being able to help you regain comfort, confidence, and a sense of safety is truly meaningful to us. Your trust and your thoughtful feedback are sincerely appreciated.

Wishing you continued health and well-being.

Kind regards,
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hasan Ersöz

Dear Munzer,

Reading your message filled our hearts with so much emotion. Thank you — not just for your kind words, but for the deep trust you placed in us during such a personal and transformative journey. 🙏🇧🇬

From the very first moment we met, we understood how important this surgery was to you — not only to correct a physical deformity caused by Poland Syndrome, but also to help you reconnect with your confidence, your body, and your joy. Knowing you came all the way from Bulgaria as part of our international health tourism program, filled with hope, made us even more committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Performing your pectoral implant surgery and witnessing the glow in your smile afterward has been one of the most meaningful experiences for our entire team. Hearing that you now feel happy, healthy, and good looking again — that we were able to bring your smile back — is the greatest reward we could ever receive.

At our clinic, we specialize in treating not only Poland Syndrome, but also the full spectrum of chest wall deformities — including Pectus Excavatum, Pectus Carinatum, Pectus Arcuatum, and rib flare deformities. As Dr. Pectus, I’ve devoted my career to these conditions, helping patients from around the world breathe easier and live more confidently.

We also proudly offer Ribella, a patented technique I developed as Dr. Curver, which reshapes the ribs without incisions or stitches and helps achieve natural waist contouring — especially for patients seeking aesthetic body transformation alongside thoracic corrections.

But more than just performing surgeries, we believe in walking the journey with you. We know that these conditions affect far more than just your physical appearance — they touch your identity, your emotional health, your relationships, and your confidence. That’s why every part of our process is built not just on science, but on empathy, respect, and human connection.

You are strong, brave, and inspiring. Your story — and your words — will surely give hope to others around the world who are still searching for answers.

Thank you again for choosing us and for being part of our extended patient family. We’ll always be here for you.

Wishing you a future full of strength, health, and endless smiles.
With all our warmest regards,
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hasan Ersöz – Dr. Pectus / Dr. Curver
& the entire team

Ribella procedure

Dr. Hasan Ersoz and his team made me feel comfortable, explained everything in details, and the treatment was good. I'm provided with great after care service as well.
I have no pain anymore, it is now 3 days after my surgery and I'm walking around in my garden and house. I'm provided with medication and recommended supplements to aid with the healing process. I have to wait for the end results, but my body shape is already changing and improving. I can recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their body shape into a hourglass shape.

Dear Ms. Sureya,

First of all, I would like to thank you for your interest in the Ribella Procedure — a painless, stitchless, incision-free and scarless waist contouring method developed and patented by us — and also for sharing your Ribella experience so sincerely and in such detail. You traveled from the Netherlands to our clinic in Izmir, Turkey as part of health tourism, and that means a lot to us.

Not only were you pain-free three days after the operation, but you were already pain-free during the 30th minute of the procedure — a moment we even shared live on our social media accounts. This level of comfort is something we are very familiar with in all our Ribella patients, and it makes us very happy. Because Ribella offers a truly unique and scarless aesthetic result in waist narrowing, while also standing out with its comfort compared to surgical methods like liposuction or rib removal. Walking this journey with women like you who value themselves and believe in transformation is a privilege for us.

Body contouring — especially providing a permanent and natural solution to issues like waist narrowing and rib flare — is one of the strongest aspects of the Ribella procedure. As you mentioned, noticeable changes in body shape become visible in a very short time, while the final results are completed over a two-month period. With the support of the corset and our personalized technique, it becomes fully possible to achieve an hourglass figure.

As you expressed in your review, this is not just an aesthetic procedure; it is a transformative journey that enhances self-confidence and allows people to enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror. Every individual who chooses Ribella is not just a patient for us — they are a valuable companion on this journey of self-confidence.

From the very beginning, providing detailed information, prioritizing your comfort throughout the process, and being there for you during the post-op care is a great pleasure for us, because we do this job with love as a team. By sharing your experience publicly on Trustpilot, you’ve shed light for others who have similar aesthetic goals, and for that, we are truly grateful.

We wish you healthy, elegant days where you feel proud of yourself. We are always here for you.

With love,
Dr. Hasan Ersöz & The Ribella Team

Challenging pectus excavatum case

Facing a challenging and high-risk case of pectus excavatum, I am immensely grateful for the exceptional care provided by Dr. Hasan Ersoz and Dr. Pectus clinic staff members. From the outset, it was evident that only a world-class surgeon could handle such complexities, and Dr. Hasan Ersoz proved to be just that.

The staff's kindness and support were invaluable, especially considering the intricacies of my situation. The clinic's commitment to excellence was crucial in managing a case that required extra attention and expertise. The facilities, pristine and well-equipped, added to the overall positive experience during my stay.

Dr. Hasan Ersoz, a true professional, not only accepted the challenge but surpassed expectations. His expertise and confidence were reassuring throughout, and the successful outcome of the surgery attests to their skill as a surgeon. The meticulous explanation of the procedure and the genuine care provided were crucial in navigating a challenging surgical journey.

In the realm of pectus excavatum, where expertise is paramount, Dr. Pectus clinic stands out as a beacon of excellence. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone facing a challenging case, confident that they possess the proficiency and dedication needed for successful outcomes. Five stars, unquestionably earned.

Reply from Dr. Pectus & Dr. Curver by Assoc. Prof. Hasan Ersoz, MD

Our patient Mr. Federico who is 38 years old, for the same reason (again due to pectus excavatum) had underwent an operation with open surgery (Ravitch Procedure) in another center 12 years ago, but it had failed and relapsed. Moreover, he had done sports and has hardened his chest. We are happy to have completed this very challenging and risky surgery successfully. The advanced age, history of open surgery in same region and hardened chest were the factors make this operation dedicated. We were able to overcome all these difficulties with closed surgery with the modified MIRPE (Nuss Procedure) using the 4-Bar technique, two diagonal and two parallel, which we had described and published to the literature before. Although our patient had applied to many pectus centers before, they could have not offer him a solution. He traveled from the other side of the world, Australia-Sydney, by three planes and came to Turkey for health tourism. Thank God, he returned home very satisfied on the 10th day of the surgery and wrote this review without any problems, approximately in the 1st month of the surgery. We would like to thank him very much for "not letting pectus be his destiny", for his trust in us and for this nice comment. You other pectus patients also “Don't let pectus be your destiny!”
