Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery in Istanbul

Overview

Plastic and aesthetic surgery reshapes the face and body — from rhinoplasty and breast surgery to liposuction, tummy tuck and facelift. Results depend above all on the surgeon's experience and an honest plan for your anatomy.

Turkish plastic surgeons are board-certified and many are members of ISAPS. Surgery takes place in accredited hospitals with overnight stays, and packages include hotel, transfers and follow-up.

Istanbul

Istanbul is home to the largest number of JCI-accredited hospitals in Turkey and specialists in every field. With two international airports and flights from more than 120 countries, it is the most convenient choice for most patients.

Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) have direct flights from most European, Middle Eastern and North American cities. Transfers to clinics take 30–60 minutes.
