Frequently asked questions: aesthetics
Answers about cosmetic surgery, hair transplants and aesthetic treatments in Istanbul.
Questions & answers
Is cosmetic surgery in Turkey safe?
Safety depends on choosing qualified surgeons and accredited facilities. We work only with certified hospitals and clinics that meet international standards, and every patient has a pre-operative assessment.
Why are prices lower in Turkey?
Lower operating and living costs and a large, experienced medical sector make treatment more affordable — without compromising on standards at certified facilities.
Can I combine several procedures in one trip?
Often yes, for example a tummy tuck with liposuction, or dental treatment with a skin treatment. The surgeon decides what can safely be combined in one session.
How soon can I fly after surgery?
Your surgeon will confirm when you are fit to fly. As a guide, most body procedures require about a week in Istanbul and facial surgery 7–10 days.
When will I see my final results?
Swelling settles gradually. Many results are visible after a few weeks, but final results can take 6–12 months — up to 18 months for hair transplants.
Will I meet my surgeon before the operation?
Yes. You will have a face-to-face consultation in Istanbul before any procedure, and you can also ask questions remotely before you travel.
What should I bring?
Loose, comfortable clothing, any regular medication, copies of medical reports and your passport. Your coordinator sends a personalised checklist before you travel.
What if I have a complication after returning home?
Contact your coordinator straight away. We will connect you with your surgeon, and in an emergency you should always seek local medical care first.
