Patients may experience increased self-esteem and satisfaction with their appearance post-procedure. However, it's important to have realistic expectations and consider psychological counseling if needed to address any emotional adjustments.

The overall cost is often lower in Turkey due to affordable accommodation, transportation, and living expenses. Packages frequently include hotel stays, airport transfers, and post-operative care services, offering significant savings compared to Western countries.

Travel insurance policies vary, so it's crucial to confirm whether your plan covers medical tourism procedures. Ensure it includes coverage for potential complications or additional medical care needed while abroad.

Check if the clinic is accredited by international bodies such as JCI. Reading online reviews from previous patients can also provide insights into their experiences and satisfaction levels.

Non-surgical alternatives include dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid-based products that offer temporary volume enhancement. While less invasive with minimal downtime, these alternatives require regular maintenance compared to the longer-lasting results of fat transfer.

If complications occur after returning home, contact your Turkish surgeon immediately for guidance. They may recommend seeing a local healthcare provider if necessary, ensuring continuous care until the issue is resolved.

Post-operative care typically includes monitoring at the clinic, prescribed medications for pain management, and instructions on how to care for the treated areas. Some packages may also include a compression garment and follow-up visits to ensure proper healing.

Many clinics offer virtual follow-up consultations via video calls to monitor your healing process once you return home. It's essential to maintain communication with your surgeon for any concerns or questions during recovery.

The initial recovery period for Facial Fat Transfer is about 1 to 2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising gradually subside. Patients are generally advised to stay in Turkey for at least a week post-procedure for follow-up care before traveling back home.

Most clinics in Turkey cater to international patients and provide English-speaking staff or translators to facilitate communication during consultations and procedures. It's advisable to confirm language support services when booking your appointment.

Verify the surgeon's credentials by checking if they are members of reputable organizations like ISAPS or the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Additionally, review their portfolio of previous work and patient testimonials for assurance.

Facial Fat Transfer carries risks such as infection, asymmetry, fat embolism, and absorption of the transferred fat. However, choosing a board-certified surgeon can minimize these risks. Clinics in Turkey often follow international safety standards to ensure patient safety.

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.

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.

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.

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.
