Frequently asked questions

How many days do I need to stay in Istanbul?

Minimum 5-7 days. Day 1: arrival + consultation, Day 2: pre-op tests, Day 3: surgery + 1 night hospital observation, Days 4-5: hotel rest, Day 6-7: 1-week follow-up + departure. Most patients combine the trip with sightseeing for an extended stay.

Are international patients accepted with a tourist visa?

Yes. Most European, UK, US, and Gulf country citizens can enter Turkey with a tourist visa or e-visa for medical purposes. No special medical visa is required for elective surgery. We provide an invitation letter if needed.

What language is the consultation conducted in?

Dr. Erdal speaks fluent Turkish and English. International Patient Department coordinator speaks English. German-speaking support is available upon request. All medical documents can be prepared in English.

What if I have complications after returning home?

Acute complications typically occur within the first 1-2 weeks (during your stay in Istanbul). Late complications are rare. We maintain WhatsApp follow-up for at least 12 months. If specialist care is needed in your home country, we provide medical reports in English/German.

How do prices compare to my country?

Breast augmentation in Turkey is typically 50-60% less expensive than the UK, Germany, Netherlands, or US — without compromise on quality. The price advantage comes from operational cost differences (rent, staff, taxes), not quality compromise. Specific quote provided after consultation.
