Is Turkey a good place for plastic surgery?

According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Turkey ranks among the top nations for aesthetic surgeries. In line with that, the country has also demonstrated great numbers in terms of medical tourists. In the first six months of 2022, the country has attracted around 0.6 million people only in the category of medical tourism. If only half a year can attract so many people, you can very well understand the quality of services and the competitive pricing that they provide. It’s absolutely whoa!

 

How has Turkey turned out to be a good place for aesthetic surgeries? 

Exactly twenty years ago, Turkey began allowing for more privatization of their healthcare systems. Since then, the country has seen constant growth in terms of aesthetic healthcare, top-notch quality services, increased safety, etc. Thus, today, the country has become one of the favorite destinations for medical tourism. 

 

Lately, the number of medical tourists has steadily increased because of the following reasons:

• Most aesthetic hospitals in Turkey provide their international customers with hotel accommodations, airport transfers, and other medical tour-related services. 

• Turkey has two airports in the vicinity of renowned aesthetic hospitals, namely Istanbul (IST) and Antalya (AYT).

• Medical tourists need not spend more than 7–10 days in Turkey. 

• The hospitals in Turkey are equipped with the latest tools, medical devices, and procedures. 

• The Turkish hospital employees are highly experienced, trained, and, importantly, certified plastic surgeons.

 

What’s so special about plastic surgeries in Turkey?

We know how advanced and up-to-date the Turkish hospitals are. However, there are other notable competitive advantages to these hospitals when compared to hospitals in other developed and developing countries.

• Most doctors and plastic surgeons in Turney have undergone their medical education at universities in the United States and the United Kingdom. Accordingly, they have been trained under the guidance of senior US, UK, or Canadian doctors in the field.  

• The hospital staff are English-speaking so there are no language barriers.

• The aesthetic treatment costs are drastically lower than the similar services offered in the US and UK. You can see a whopping 60–70% difference in the prices for services like butt lifts, tummy tucks, breast lifts, face plastic surgeries, etc.  

 

 

• The patients’ waiting time is pretty low, both in terms of doctor appointments and undergoing treatment. It extends to days or, rarely, weeks. But not months.  

• The hospitals are mostly ISO 9001, ISO 14001, or ISO 27001 certified and provide the most professional and personalized care to medical tourists.
