I have two suggestion, First, having dedicated translator devices in the rooms would greatly improve daily communication with the general staff, as relying on personal phones was sometimes challenging. Second, while pricing was discussed in euros, card payments had to be processed in lira.

However, Kristina immediately got involved, listened to my requests, and began providing options in various countries. Initially, I was considering the Czech Republic, but after discussing with Kristina, we decided on Turkey. She took into account my budget, selected clinics, provided reviews with before/after photos, answered countless questions, and I never once felt pressured into making a decision. I had many doubts because I had to travel to another country alone, without a companion, and feared that it might be challenging for me to manage alone, but Kristina assured me that I would receive enough support to not worry. And that's exactly how it was! From the airport meeting to my departure, everything was top-notch! The coordinator in Turkey, Sueda, all the nurses, other clinic staff, and the doctor treated me like a VIP guest!

I was mostly surprised that all they needed was my flight info to confirm the appointment, not down payment. That made me feel more at ease to know that it was legitimate. Later, I was contacted by the Istanbul Aesthetic Center's liaison, who was fluent in English and explained everything in detail. Dr. Ergin Er suggested a full tummy tuck instead of a mini one to give the best result once he examined in person, and I'm glad that I did. I can barely see the stretch marks and haven't seen my stomach this flat in years. The disappointing part was when I couldn't get the vaser liposuction on my arms because there's not much fat to extract. I thought my arms are huge but apparently not fatty. Instead of operating for just money, I appreciated the doctor for his transparency. He mentioned it would only give a 30% difference, and it wouldn't be worth of getting scars. At least knowing it from a professional inspired me to focus my workout on my arms instead if second guessing \"what-if\" if I never took this route. Hence, my procedure changed but the price stayed the same since it deducted arms but upgraded to a full tummy tuck. From the airport pick up to the post-operation, everything was well-planned. I was well-taken care by the nurses and the drivers as well. As the liaison mentioned the nurses aren't fluent English speakers but that didn't stop me from being taken care of. I'm still recovering but am very hopeful that the result will be better than I expected."},"what_like_text":{"en":"On the previous comment"},"what_not_like_text":{"en":"On the previous comment"}},"summary":{"positive":{"en":"I'm still recovering but am very hopeful that the result will be better than I expected."}}},{"id":12930,"user":{"id":519977,"name":"Alla Kontsevych ","country_code":"DE","country_name":{"en":"Germany"}},"ratings":[{"name":"main","value":5},{"name":"doctor","value":5},{"name":"personal","value":5},{"name":"comfort","value":5},{"name":"coordination","value":5},{"name":"translation","value":5},{"name":"relative_price","value":2},{"name":"nps","value":10},{"name":"manager","value":5}],"text":{"en":"I liked everything.

"},"overview":{"text":"A surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the midsection, improving body contour.
\nIstanbul is a top destination for belt lipectomy. It has many JCI-accredited hospitals and surgeons who specialize in body contouring after weight loss. Techniques like Vaser and Body Jet liposuction are available at much lower prices than in Western countries.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Surgeons who focus on just one procedure have the best results in Istanbul. Large hospitals like Medipol treat over 1,000,000 patients each year. In contrast, private practices like Dr. Ilker Manavbasi’s take only 600 patients a year. With a smaller caseload, the surgeon can often give more direct, personalized attention during the important 360-degree skin removal planning phase.
Patient Consensus: Patients say that all-inclusive packages are helpful. But it’s vital to confirm that your surgeon will personally perform the surgery. Patients recommend staying in Istanbul longer than the minimum. This way, your wounds can heal well before you fly home.
","is_active":true,"category":{"id":"68f5f2ea1567cb687e0a7542","name":"faq_content","title":"faq_content"}},{"id":"6ae09086c3610b43280cba22","question":"What do all-inclusive belt lipectomy packages in Istanbul typically include?","answer":"All-inclusive belt lipectomy packages in Istanbul usually cover the surgical fee, general anesthesia, and pre-operative tests. They also include VIP transfers and luxury accommodation. The packages usually offer a 1–2 night hospital stay and 5–7 hotel nights. Medical staff monitor your recovery the whole time.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While clinics market these as all-inclusive, the split between hospital and hotel nights varies. Clinics like Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital and Medipol Mega use JCI-accredited facilities. You'll usually spend at least 2 nights as an inpatient. Always check if the package includes only one compression garment. You'll likely need a second one for hygiene during the 6-week recovery.
Patient Consensus: Patients appreciate the dedicated caregivers in Istanbul who bridge the language gap with hospital staff. Airport transfers are seamless. To avoid daily out-of-pocket costs, patients recommend checking if meals beyond hotel breakfast are included.

This timeframe lets surgeons at JCI-accredited facilities monitor wound healing and manage surgical drains. They also confirm you can move well enough for a safe flight, preventing deep vein thrombosis.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Basic packages often cover 7 hotel nights. However, our data shows most patients benefit from booking a flexible stay of 14 days. Surgeons like Prof. Dr. M Veli Karaaltin, with over 35 years of experience, emphasize that drain output varies significantly. Leaving before drain removal can lead to serious fluid buildup or seromas during air travel.
Patient Consensus: Patients often report that flying home before day 10 is extremely uncomfortable due to swelling and limited sitting tolerance. They strongly recommend arranging help with luggage. Also, request airport assistance to manage the physical strain of transit.
