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.

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.

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.

The lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement
My biggest worry was how the final result would look, and whether it would be worth the recovery. Even though I’m still quite puffy around my jawline, the lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement. That part is a huge relief. The staff and clinic environment were excellent from start to finish. Turning my head feels slightly tight but okay. The surgeon did good work, though I rated them a 4/5 as I felt some communication could have been a bit more compassionate after surgery.The most challenging part has absolutely been sleeping elevated. That's no fun. I would still recommend this clinic.
The Bookined coordinator and the Quartz Clinic staff were fantastic: supportive, helpful, compassionate. All updates were communicated to me promptly. The hotel booked for me is really excellent, with smooth transfers and kind drivers. Spot on!
I didn't give the doctor 5 stars because she made me cry the day after surgery. She could adopt a different approach towards me after surgery, with more understanding and compassion, especially since I was there on my own and at the end of the day, she's received all the information required, it doesn't matter from whom. The stress has a significant impact on me. Aside from that, she was great.

The hospital was first class and so was the care
The whole experience was good from airport transfers through to translator and staff. While a language barrier existed, the translator was on hand for most issues, and if not, we got by. The hospital was first class and so was the care. I am still in early recovery from the liposuction-only procedure on my chest and sides, and I feel about as expected. The only additional expense was for medication when I left, which I was aware would be the case. There has been little contact since, but they are easy to reach if I need. I felt I knew what to expect during recovery so haven’t needed to make contact.

the care provided by the surgeon and all the staff was impeccable
If you’re thinking about arm liposuction, I’d advise you to prepare for the recovery. My surgeon used the VASER ultrasound technique and, although it’s still early days, my compression sleeves are already too loose. My mobility is limited; my biggest difficulty right now is reaching for things above my head. It’s also important to be patient with the results, because when I look in the mirror today, I can see that one arm looks different from the other, and I’m confident that will even out over time. Despite these minor aspects of the process, the care provided by the surgeon and all the staff was impeccable. I would recommend the clinic.

Nothing could have been better
My biggest concern was traveling alone, especially after having to make a last-minute booking. I booked on the Friday and flew to Istanbul on the Sunday, but being a lone traveller was not a problem at all. The Memorial was a lovely hospital. My surgeon was fantastic; he was honest about the right Motiva implant size for my body, showed photos of similar cases, and explained the risks of combining an anchor lift with implants. The whole process was great from start to finish. I'm feeling better than expected, and the end results are better than I ever could have expected. Nothing could have been better. The only additional expense was my discharge medication, which wasn’t even £7. I have been so pleased, I will hopefully be booking for a tummy tuck next year.
The whole process was great from start to finish. I only booked on the Friday as I was having big concerns about the surgery I had previously booked in April 2026, for September 2026, through another company. Booked on Friday, flew out to Istanbul on the Sunday and flying back home today. The Memorial was a lovely hospital and I couldn’t have asked to be looked after better. I was a lone traveller, but this was not a problem at all. My surgeon was fantastic and the end results are better than I ever could have expected.

The surgeon and staff were brilliant and supportive throughout
My biggest worry was ending up with an unnatural shape, but the surgeon’s approach and clear communication completely put me at ease. Right now, things still look a little patchy as about half the transplanted hairs have fallen out, which I was told to expect during this early stage of healing. It’s a process. The biggest challenge has honestly been a personal one: just remembering to avoid touching them! The surgeon and staff were brilliant and supportive throughout. While the clinic facilities were fine, the personal care from the team made all the difference. I'm very satisfied with my choice.

The surgeon did an excellent job – the incisions were made using the traditional method and are now hidden in the natural folds of the skin
I was worried that the scars from the upper and lower eyelid surgery would be noticeable. Fortunately, the surgeon did an excellent job – the incisions were made using the traditional method and are now hidden in the natural folds of the skin. I have no complaints about him whatsoever. However, the overall impression was greatly marred by the clinic itself, where the conditions were unsatisfactory. Recovery is still ongoing. My eyes are still swollen, and I’ve noticed that when I smile, one side looks slightly different. I hope this will pass. The main advice I would give to anyone considering this procedure is to prepare thoroughly for the period before and after the operation.

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.

The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted. It’s a great feeling. My goal was a more defined tip, and that's precisely what the surgeon delivered using an open approach. The whole process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely caring. The most difficult part of recovery so far is just having to sleep upright, which is temporary. A huge bonus is that I am breathing perfectly through my nose already. I am so grateful for the surgeon's skill and the clear communication from the team.

Ezra, the doctor’s assistant, made me feel like a family member
Ezra, the doctor’s assistant, made me feel like a family member. The staff was patient when I used my phone to translate. I am used to a pain scale and there isn't one here, which led to some uncomfortable carry-over pain. For my full arm lift with liposuction on both arms, extended past the elbow, the doctor personally did the markings and explained arm positioning for recovery. I feel better than expected. The clinic has stayed in touch. My advice: bring extra personal wipes and have medical alerts printed in Turkish.

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

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.

What should you know about plastic surgery in Turkey?

Why do thousands of patients prefer to get cosmetic surgery in Turkey?

  • Reasonable prices — the cost of plastic surgery in Turkey is 90 percent lower than in the US, UK, and European countries.
  • Safe control — medical associations including the World Medical Association and the Turkish Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (TSAPS) monitor the services quality and patients’ safety in Turkish clinics and guarantee plastic surgery in Turkey is really safe.
  • Doctors’ experience — plastic surgeons here have vast experience and perform hundreds of operations each year. Most of them undergo overseas internships and are members of international societies and organizations.
  • Local medical equipment manufacturing — any medical goods are produced in the country and are not imported. This concept leads to lower cosmetic surgery costs.
  • The highest implants quality — surgeons guarantee the use of high-quality quality implants with a lifetime warranty.
  • Opportunity to combine plastic surgery and vacation — because of the mild climate, unique culture, and affordable prices for food and accommodation, Turkey has become one of the best countries for appearance improvement and rest.

Why is surgery cheaper in Turkey?

There are three reasons for low-cost plastic surgery in Turkey:

  1. General price policy within the country and local citizens’ income — accommodation, food, transfers, and other basic amenities are relatively affordable for medical tourists. So many hotels and restaurants offer affordable, luxurious services along with multi-course meals as required.
  2. The difference in purchasing power parity (PPP) — Europe and the US produce their own medical products, however, the prices for cosmetic operations are still high. Local production is one of the factors lowering the cost without any quality loss. The PPP ratio between the USA and Turkey is 1.451 — although both countries produce their products locally, the resources available in Turkey are cheaper, which leads to higher production costs in other countries compared with Turkey.
  3. All-inclusive cosmetic surgery packages in Turkey — because of the high competition, most clinics in the country provide medical seekers with special offers and all-inclusive packages that usually include all necessary materials, the surgery itself, accommodation, transfers, language assistance (if needed) and so on.

What are the advantages of cosmetic procedures in Turkey?

  1. Cost-effectiveness — for example, rhinoplasty in the United States costs from $5,000 to $10,000, which is at least twice as much as in Turkey. The cost of rhinoplasty in Turkey ranges from $2,000 to $2,500. This difference does not compromise the quality of cosmetic procedures.
  2. An unforgettable experience — In addition to cost-effective treatment, Turkey offers to combine your appearance improvement with vacation. During your recovery after aesthetic surgery in Turkey, you have an opportunity to make acquaintance with Turkish culture by visiting different places, trying unique food, sunbathe on the luxury beach, and have a great time.
  3. Confidentiality — cosmetic surgery is a procedure when a person goes through serious physical changes and therefore prefers to spend time alone during this period. Turkish plastic surgery clinics give privacy during the recovery period.

How to choose the right hospital and surgeon for cosmetic surgery in Turkey?

To avoid complications, side effects after the operation and speed up the recovery time, it’s crucial to choose the right clinic and experienced surgeon. When choosing a clinic and doctor, pay attention to:

  • accreditation/certification of clinics from Joint Commission International (JCI) or the Turkish Ministry of Health to make sure the chosen facility meets the highest standards of hygiene and patients’ safety
  • membership of clinic and surgeon in any Turkish and international medical association that confirm plastic surgery qualification
  • before/after photos to make sure you get desired result after the aesthetic operation
  • success rates and years of experience that prove you will get high-quality services.

Also, the surgeon must be certified and recognized by international professional associations such as the Turkish Medical Association, the Turkish Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (TSAPS), and the Turkish Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery.

What aesthetic procedures are available in Turkey?

Plastic surgery includes various cosmetic surgical procedures intended not only for those who would like to improve their appearance but also for people affected by accidents, injuries, sports traumas, genetic defects, etc.

The most common plastic surgeries in Turkey are:

FAQ about Plastic Surgery in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Can you say a few words about yourself and your experience with Bookimed?

My name is Dr. Selçuk Aytaç. I am a plastic surgeon from Turkey with more than 20 years of experience in plastic surgery. I specialize in body reshaping, breast augmentation, breast lift, butt lift, post-bariatric surgeries. Also, I perform some facial operations. Our clinic (Estetik International - Ed.) works with Bookimed, so some of my patients come from the Bookimed platform. They are happy with the results. Our clinic invites everyone who wants to do plastic surgery. 

Why is plastic surgery so strong in Turkey?

Our doctors practice a lot. Maybe even much more than our colleagues in other countries. I think this is the reason.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What should you know about Turkey before the trip?

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.

What states need a visa for treatment in Turkey and what countries can cross the border free and easy read here.

What documents are required to apply for a visa to Turkey for treatment?

Visas for travel to Turkey require a number of documents. The necessary papers can be submitted 90 days before the planned departure. Lists of documents includes:

  • ID card
  • confirmation of online registration and filling out the questionnaire
  • certificate of income and availability of funds ($50 per day per person)
  • insurance policy for a stay in Turkey (original and copy)
  • 2 photos (5x6)
  • visa receipt
  • booking of flight and hotel
  • medical opinion about the need for treatment.

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
