Why Turkey for Plastic Surgery
According to the “Global Survey 2020 Reports” of the International Society of Aesthetic Surgery (ISAPS), Turkey has become one of the 5 countries where the most plastic surgery is performed in the world during the pandemic period.
There are many reasons for this. We can list it as follows.
- Having very experienced doctors and surgeons.
- Hospitals and clinics are clean, hygienic and at world standards.
- Using the latest technological tools and systems.
- Being geographically close to both Europe and Asia.
- Availability of flights from Istanbul to anywhere in the world.
- The surgery prices are very affordable compared to other countries.
- Accommodation, transportation and daily life are very convenient compared to other countries.
- Having a big metropolis like “Istanbul” where all world brands are located.
- The weather conditions are not too hot or too cold.
- Turkish people are helpful and hospitable.
We can increase these items even more. Because Turkey is a paradise in itself.
Rhinoplasty continues to be the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery in Turkey. We understand this from the results of the research. After rhinoplasty, it is listed as Liposuction, Breast Augmentation, Fat injection and Hair – Beard transplantation.
Most patients are coming from Germany
Again, according to the report, patients mostly come from Germany, England and France. These are countries with a large Turkish population and entrepreneurial business people. At the same time, there is a newly developing health tourism. Tourists can perform both vacation and surgical procedures at the same time.
In the second place are patients from the United States and Canada. Even though we are far from these countries, the price of surgical procedures to be performed is much cheaper than these countries.
Middle East countries come next. Many patients come from these countries. The highest demand is primarily nose surgeries (Rhinoplasty), Liposuction and Hair Transplantation procedures. Then comes tummy tuck and facial operations.
They come to our country from Romania and Hungary primarily for Orthopedics, Knee valve surgeries and IVF treatments. Dental treatments and plastic surgery procedures follow.
Dental and Gum treatments are the first choice of patients coming to our country from Switzerland. The mouth design, also known as the Hollywood Smile, is the most in demand treatment. The first most important reason is the price. In Switzerland, an average of 7 – 9 times more payment is required for the same dental treatment.
Transportation
It is possible to reach Istanbul by plane from all over the world. The most popular airline company of Turkey and the world, Turkish Airlines brings prestige and tourists to the country. At the same time, the company is a successful face that promotes our country to the world.
There are 2 international airports in Istanbul. These ;
- Istanbul Airport (New)
- Sabiha Gokcen Airport
Istanbul Airport is the largest airport in the world. It is a major transit hub. It is the most important transfer point for passengers who want to go from East to West or from West to East.
The distance to all European countries is from 2 to 4 hours. This is a great comfort for the guests and patients. If their stay in Istanbul is very short, they can be processed even on the day they arrive. In this way, they can complete their transactions earlier.
Average Stay and Recovery Times
In general, the duration of stay of the patients is between 7 and 10 days. This period may extend up to 20 days depending on the operation and its content.
Every patient is in a position to continue his social life when he goes to his country. His treatment continues indirectly. But it does not affect the social life and work of the patient.
The quality of the hotels, the services provided, the food culture and diversity make Istanbul a more preferred destination. Other positive aspects are transportation and food and beverage availability for 24 hours, and the feeling of safety of the guests.
