How Much Does Cheek implants Cost in Istanbul?
Cheek implants in Istanbul typically cost from $1,800 to $3,500. Pricing depends on the implant material, the surgeon's international certification, and whether you combine the surgery with a facelift or chin augmentation. Patients save around 61% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $6,900 on average. Most Istanbul clinics include VIP transfers, hotel accommodation, and postoperative care in their pricing.
- Implant material: Variations like porous polyethylene often cost more than silicone due to better tissue integration.
- Surgeon qualifications: Specialists with EBOPRAS or ISAPS certification may charge about 20% more than general aesthetic surgeons.
- Combined procedures: Adding a facelift or chin implant increases the total price but often lowers the per-procedure cost.
- Clinic amenities: Premium packages at high-volume centers typically include multi-night 5-star hotel stays and dedicated translation services.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul serves as Turkey's primary hub for facial plastic surgery. It offers more specialized accredited clinics than regional cities like Antalya. This volume lets centers like Quartz Hospital or Dr. MED maintain high success rates, such as 97% for facial procedures. For the best value, look for surgeons like Dr. Leyla Arvas who have international microsurgery training in Taiwan and Japan.

All in all was very impressed
During my consultation, the surgeon and I discussed what results would best suit my specific facial symmetry. This set the tone for the entire process. I didn't have any expectations and all in all was very impressed. I went alone which can make one feel more vulnerable but I was well taken care of and extended a lot of grace for my forgetfulness. My procedure was on both upper eyelids, and while it's too early to tell the final outcome, I can confirm there were no additional expenses. Everything was clear. For anyone considering this, I think it's important to ask about adapting your expectations to your specific uniqueness and go in asking about results that would best suit you.

I'm very happy with my result
If you're looking into getting an eyebrow transplant, finding a team that listens is so important. What stood out for me was that the surgeon actually drew the new eyebrow shape with me before we began, making sure we agreed on the final look. The entire staff was great. In my own words, The clinik its very good.professional person and very gently. I'm still in the early recovery phase, but I feel very positive. Im very happy with my result.i live it. It's the kind of care that makes me feel that in the future when I need i return sure. As for things that could be better, there was Notting negative. The clinic has also been supportive since, staying in touch and giving me a clear aftercare guide.

I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter
I felt very secure and taken care of through the entire experience. All of my inquiries were answered very promptly by both the bookiemed coordinator, the assistant, and my doctor (Dr. C Altindąg), is very experienced and talked me through what to expect and analyzed my nose very thoroughly.
I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter (I had a severe deviated septum and other complications from a past surgery that he identified and corrected including a mirgrated graft and a droopy tip). I'm still quite swollen but look forward to seeing final results in a few months.

My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence
If you're thinking about this, my main piece of advice is to be mentally ready for the procedure, as it can be overwhelming. I’m in early recovery from my breast reduction and lift, and I am feeling better than expected. My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence. The clinic team was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Do be aware of some additional expenses – I had a prescription that cost extra at the pharmacy. A few practical tips: bring a spare compression garment, cotton t-shirts to wear underneath it, and your own snacks. Also, having my mum with me has been pivotal to my recovery, so I'd suggest bringing a companion if you can.
The co-ordinator at Bookimed, Winnington was brilliant. No matter how many questions I had he was able to answer them promptly and with one small hiccup from the hospital Winnington went out of his way to try and package a new procedure for me. My co-ordinator Eyyub at Optimed hospital was outstanding. The hospital was great, the staff on my floor were fantastic. We used goggle translate when the co-ordinator wasn’t with us if we came up against a language barrier but that was not very often. I was cared for before and after my surgery by the nursing staff who could not do enough for myself and my mum. I 10000000% recommend Bookimed & Optimed hospital
Post op instructions could be better. I have suggested to them to put together a general guide of what to do and not to do and for however long. What’s normal and if something doesn’t feel right who to contact etc. I think this will greatly help international patients and help the hospital co-ordinators from being hounded with a load of questions from several patients all at once. Peace of mind for the patient and a little more support for the co-ordinator.
The food is catered for Turkish patients and can be hard for international patients to eat. Again, I have suggested to them to try having a small box of fibrous cereal available at breakfast time and instead of a full meal at lunch time something simple like sandwiches or rolls/bagels/baked goods. Dinner was usually ok and we were able to eat most of that but our daytime diet is a little less than they were providing and there was a lot of food waste which they could minimise & use the money elsewhere if there was a cater to international patients diets.

Oct 28, 2026
I could not recommend highly enough
I've been so pleased with my experience from start to finish; I never thought my results from the extended tummy tuck, arm lift and upper arm liposuction could be this good. My recovery is going much better than I expected. They did find a hernia pre-op, which was an additional expense, but it was explained clearly before we proceeded with how to rectify the issue. The clinic's aftercare support has been great, as they've stayed in touch and are easy to reach. My advice is to ask every question about procedure, pain, scars, and recovery timelines so you feel comfortable. I could not recommend highly enough.
I cannot explain how happy I have been with my experience from start to finish and my results have far exceeded my expectations. I never thought I could get results this good. I could not be happier

The English coordinators were amazing, very helpful and a joy to work with
The English coordinators were amazing, very helpful and a joy to work with. They made the process so much easier. I'm very grateful for them. Apart from one incident where a nurse ignored my four requests for pain medication while I was unwell on the ward, my experience with staff was generally good. My surgeon was direct about a realistic final cup size and carefully explained the anchor incision technique and scar placement, marking me meticulously before surgery. Since the procedure, the clinic has stayed in touch, providing a clear aftercare guide and being easy to reach. I did have some additional expenses for take-home medication and an extra night at the hotel. My advice is to do your research and communicate concerns like my medication sensitivity beforehand. Also, be prepared that you might not like the hospital food.
The English coordinators was amazing, very helpful and honestly a joy to work with. Made the process so much easier. Very grateful for them.
Apart from one incident of a nurse ignoring me and not wanting ro give me pain medication while in pain and unwell after asking her 4 times on the ward, I had a good experience with staff in general.

The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent
The possibility of breathing issues was my primary concern going into this. And honestly, that has been the biggest challenge in recovery so far, with one nostril constantly feeling stuffed. My surgeon performed a closed rhinoplasty. Everything is still very swollen along the bridge, but I can already see that my nose tip appears more refined, which is a great sign. The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent. The general staff were great, though post-op instructions could have been a bit more explicit. I'm satisfied with the medical care I received so far
Dr. Erol is an amazing doctor, his work was amazing he truly listened to my request and expectations and he was really patient and reassuring. The medical assistance team as well, they really took good care of me, they were present when i needed them.
post-op instructions could’ve been explained better

I'm feeling better than I expected to at this point in recovery
I'm feeling better than I expected to at this point in recovery. It was a big decision. My research was extensive, and I can confirm the surgeon, Dr. Ibrahim, is professional. He took the time to clearly explain how the AMS (Boston Scientific) device functions, which was a critical part of my decision-making process. The clinic has stayed in touch since the procedure, and I can also verify there were no additional expenses on top of the quoted price. If I could advise a future patient, it would be to have less stress before arriving.

But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts
I liked everything overall. Initially, I was very afraid, starting with the flight to another country, the transfer to the hotel and the operation itself. But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts. 5 hours after the operation I returned to the hotel. Which is also very good because the hospital ward is the worst for me. Exactly after a week I took off the splint, my nose was still swollen. The nose is proportional to my face. When the swelling goes down it will be smaller

From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone
From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone. Memorial Hospital is not a hospital, it is a home where staff members look after a patient with a warm heart. My mommy makeover included a tummy tuck, breast work, and liposuction on two areas, and it was important that Dr. Demir personally checked on me after the surgery. The only thing that could be better is if nurses spoke more English, especially for post-op care. The clinic is easy to reach. I am very grateful.
From my bottom heart I would like to thank you everyone,start from whatsapp consultant, clinic coordinators, nurse, hotel and big thank you a Dr.Demir.All of you were amazing in every way.I would choose you again and again.Memorial hospital is not only a hospital, it is a home where all staff members look after a patient with warm heart.I am very greatful for everything.❤️❤️❤️

While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already
My main concern before traveling was getting a result that didn't look like me. My surgeon was fantastic in addressing this; he was honest about realistic outcomes for my age, carefully examined my facial structure, and showed photos of similar patients. We agreed on a deep plane facelift for my face only. While it's still too early to see the final look, I love the results already. It's gonna be perfect after the swelling settles down. My one critique is that I would have loved to get some more specific and detailed info on the techniques. Getting my whole medical report would have been nice. On a practical note, there were no additional expenses. My advice for anyone considering this: take your time and trust the process. Be prepared for some facelift blues and buyer's remorse during your initial recovery—it's part of it.

All the staff members made me feel very comfortable
All the staff members made me feel very comfortable. As I traveled on my own, I felt well cared for and looked after in the clinic, and the included hotel was basic but nice. The procedure went well. I was initially a bit unsure about the schedule for my follow-up appointments, but the team checked on me daily through WhatsApp, which was reassuring. My surgeon explained why the transconjunctival technique, leaving no visible scar, was the right choice for me, and the surgery was performed under local anesthesia with sedation. So far, my recovery is going about as expected. One piece of advice: bring a V-pillow. The clinic only mentioned I'd need to sleep upright on the day, and having one made my hotel stay much more comfortable.

One thing that stood out was the surgeon taking the time to draw my new hairline with me before we began, which helped set clear expectations for the outcome
If you're considering an Afro hair transplant, the most important thing is to be prepared. I would advise anyone who wants to do this to prepare for pain; it’s not an easy process. My procedure involved up to 2,000 grafts. One thing that stood out was the surgeon taking the time to draw my new hairline with me before we began, which helped set clear expectations for the outcome. Since the procedure, the clinic has stayed in touch. It is too early to tell what the final results will be. On a practical note, I can confirm there were no additional expenses on top of what was quoted. For these reasons, I rated my overall experience, the surgeon, staff, and clinic a 4 out of 5.

To say that I was shocked by the doctor's approach to treatment is to say nothing. My impressions to you, just do not wish to experience. The operation was agreed in advance counselling and my wishes. The day of the operation came.
In the morning I was picked up from the hotel and with an interpreter, I went through all the analyses. On the question when I will have a meeting with the doctor I was told at 9 am then I pointed out that I am allergic to one drug. But they wouldn't give me any medication before the operation without the doctor's consent. When I was already changed clothes for the operation ( I apologise myself in underwear, in an operating gown ) came the doctor and began to explain to me on his hands that it can not be like this, as I want and he sees it all differently. He began to explain to me with his fingers how it will be. Interrupting the interpreter. The interpreter couldn't keep up with the translation. Hurrying me to make a decision. I replied that I couldn't make a decision without seeing any pictures of what was waiting for me. Then after about an hour of dialogue, the doctor corrected the curvature of my nose on the telephoto in front of me and said here's what awaits you and covered the tip of my nose with his hand. Again we heard my refusal, to which I was told there is no time and I have to make a decision. They told me there was no time and I had to make a decision. My wishes were ignored. What was agreed upon before the operation was changed. My wishes were to correct the curvature and to change and reduce the tip of the nose. The result of the operation is that the curvature was not corrected and the septum remained the same. But the cartilage was grown on the side, which I did not ask for at all, and the nose was visually enlarged and the tip was corrected. Now I'm just shocked with my appearance to say the least. Everything was done at the discretion of the doctor. He ignored all my wishes. Putting me in front of the fact. Without showing me a single photo of what's in store for me. Explaining it to me on my fingers.

The single positive aspect of this entire process was the staff. They were wonderful. Unfortunately, my experience with the surgeon and the clinic itself was profoundly disappointing, and I'm very concerned with how my otoplasty recovery is going so far. The gap between the supportive staff and the actual medical treatment I received is hard to understand. The facility did not meet my expectations for a medical setting in any capacity. Based on this, I would absolutely not recommend this clinic to anyone considering a similar procedure.

FAQ about treatment in Turkey
These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.
How long is the recovery time for cheek implants in Istanbul?
Recovery for cheek implants in Istanbul typically takes 7 to 10 days. After that, patients are cleared for international travel. Most patients return to desk work within 7 to 14 days. However, facial swelling and bruising usually last 2 to 3 weeks. The final contours become visible after that.
- Travel timeframe: Plan for 7–10 days in Istanbul for suture removal and follow-up visits with the surgeon.
- Work hiatus: You can return to light work within 7–10 days after surgery.
- Physical limitations: Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks to prevent implant shifting.
- Dietary restrictions: Stick to soft foods for 7–10 days to avoid irritating the intraoral incisions.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Basic recovery takes about 10 days, but choosing clinics with extensive experience matters for long-term stability. Dr. Evren Helvaci at Blanc Clinic&Beauty and Dr. Ali Er at Elixirmed Clinic both specialize in facial rejuvenation. Elixirmed serves over 4,000 patients annually. Choosing high-volume clinics usually means smoother post-surgery protocols for international travelers.
Patient Consensus: Patients often feel that the first 4 weeks look puffier than expected, even if pain is minimal. Most suggest waiting at least 2 weeks to feel comfortable in public.
