Twelve patients operated on in İzmir by the same surgeon. The kilos shown are theirs, the photos are published with consent, and none of them is a promise.
Below the gallery is the part most before-and-after pages leave out: how fast the weight actually goes, and when it stops.
Different ages, different starting weights, one operation and one surgeon.
Results vary with starting weight, age and health conditions. No photo is a promise of your result.
About a third of your excess weight. This is the fastest phase, and the one in which hair shedding often starts; it grows back.
Around half of your excess weight. Clothes sizes change monthly. Solid food has been back since the end of the first month.
60–70% of excess weight for most patients. The twelve months of follow-up with the surgeon end here; the habits should be yours by now.
Weight settles. Between years two and five some regain is common. The patients in the long-term photos kept the eating pattern, not just the sleeve.
Typically about a third of your excess weight. Around half has usually gone by six months, and 60–70% by twelve to eighteen months. At 120 kg and 1.70 m, 60–70% of excess weight is roughly 29–34 kg.
Yes. Every photo shows a patient operated on by Op. Dr. Volkan Arayıcı in İzmir and is published with their consent. The weight-loss figures are the ones on the original images.
Most of the loss happens in the first six months, the pace slows over the following year and weight usually settles between twelve and eighteen months.
After a large loss, often yes, mainly on the abdomen, arms and thighs. It is a consequence of the weight you carried, not of the operation. Body-contouring surgery is considered once your weight has been stable.
Starting weight, age, sex and what you do with the sleeve. The operation is the same; the habits are not. The photos that matter most are the ones taken two or three years later.
Of course. Nothing is published without written consent, and most patients are never photographed for the website at all.
Send your height, weight and age and the surgeon gives you a realistic figure for twelve months, not the best case from the gallery.
Starting weight, height and age are enough for an honest estimate of what a sleeve would do for you.
WhatsApp is the quickest route. You write to the surgeon himself, not a call centre or an agency.
