FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you have an assessment process?
Yes. Our process begins with a free online assessment. You will complete a short form and provide photos, which are reviewed by our team and the surgeon. Based on this, you will receive a personalised surgical recommendation and quote.
Do I need a consultation?
Yes. All medical information and images are reviewed with the surgeon to ensure the procedure is suitable and safe for you.
Can I do my own research after receiving my recommendation?
Yes. We encourage all patients to take the time to research and make an informed decision.
I am pregnant—can I still get an assessment?
No. We are unable to provide surgical recommendations during pregnancy. Surgery under general anaesthetic is only considered at least 6 months after giving birth or after you have stopped breastfeeding.
Is there an age limit for plastic surgery procedures?
Yes. You must be 18 or over. Suitability is also based on your overall health and medical assessment.
Do you have before and after photos?
Yes. We have a large collection of real patient results available in our Results Gallery, as well as on our social media channels.
What does the package price include?
Your package covers everything related to your treatment in Turkey, including the procedure, surgeon and hospital fees, hospital stay, post-operative care, medication, compression garments, and all transfers.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. All prices are clearly defined with no hidden fees.
What is not included?
Flights, accommodation, meals outside the hospital, and personal expenses such as transport, excursions, or leisure activities.
In addition to the package price, what other expenses should I plan for?
You should plan for:
-
Flights and hotel accommodation

Meals outside the hospital (lunch and dinner)
-
Personal spending (taxis, restaurants, activities)
Breakfast is usually included at the hotel, and all meals are provided during your hospital stay.
How much money should I bring with me to Turkey?
As a general guideline, most patients budget around £300–£500 for the week to cover meals and personal expenses. This will vary depending on your preferences.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No. We do not require a deposit. Booking your flights is considered confirmation of your intent to proceed.
Are there ways to fund my procedure?
We do not offer direct financing. However, travel and accommodation can be paid through UK-based partners using credit cards or flexible payment options such as instalments.
How do I pay?
Travel and accommodation are paid to a UK-based, ATOL-protected travel partner, allowing you to pay in pounds with UK payment protection. The surgical procedure is paid separately. You can pay by credit card (subject to a fee) or in cash at the standard package price upon arrival in Turkey.
I’ve never travelled overseas before. Can you help me?
Yes. You will have a dedicated Client Manager to guide you through the entire process. In Turkey, our local support team will assist you throughout your stay.
Do I need to arrange my flights?
No. Flights can be arranged through our UK-based, ATOL-protected travel partners. You are also free to arrange your own travel if you prefer.
Where will I stay?
We work with a selection of high-quality hotels in Kuşadası. Your accommodation can be tailored to your preferences, whether you prefer a seaside location or a quieter setting.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes, and we strongly encourage it. Many patients choose to travel with a companion for support during recovery.
Your companion can stay with you in both the hospital and hotel. Additional flight costs will apply.
