FAQs: Plastic Surgery in Turkey

Definitely, yes. In Turkey, plastic surgery costs nearly 3 times less than that in the US. Check the cost table.

It is because the cost of living is much less,[24]and you'll spend less on hotel rooms, transport, and entertainment. For example, a single person in Turkey can comfortably survive on €420[25] but in the US, you'll need €935 without rent but in the US, you’ll need €935 without rent.

Turkey is one of the safest places to do plastic surgery. Turkey is 56% safer than the US and has one of the lowest murder rates in Europe.[26] However, you must take basic travel safety precautions.

Besides, you get a chance to tour the ancient city of Ephesus & take a dip in Turkish baths.

You'll need to wait for ~ 10 days before flying after your surgery. [27] It is because the risk of blood clots in your legs is high directly after a cosmetic procedure.

Turkey is regarded as a top destination for plastic surgery, especially for European & UK residents. It is due to its accessibility through short flights to major cities hosting renowned clinics.

Moreover, Turkey is recognized by the ISAPS as a popular country for aesthetic surgeries, solidifying its place in the top ten.[28]
