About the treatment
General information to help you prepare your questions. It is not medical advice.
What it is
Plastic surgery covers many different operations, such as rhinoplasty, breast surgery, body contouring and facial procedures. Each one has its own preparation, recovery and limits.
The first step is an honest conversation with a plastic surgeon about what you would like to change and what is realistically possible for you. Recovery time depends on the procedure.
Who decides
Only a plastic surgeon can decide which procedure, if any, suits you, after looking at your health history and your goals.
We send your details to the surgeon and pass the answer back to you, including when the answer is no or when the surgeon suggests a different approach.
How a procedure is planned
A simplified illustration, using rhinoplasty as an example. Every procedure is different; your surgeon explains yours.
- I
Your consultation
You and your plastic surgeon talk through what you would like to change, and what is realistic for you.

A plan for you
The surgeon plans the procedure around your own anatomy, and may suggest a different approach.
- III
The first days
After the operation you may wear a dressing or splint for a while, as your surgeon advises.

Settling over time
Swelling goes down gradually. The final result can take months to show.
Your questions reach your surgeon through your coordinator, before you book anything.
Confirmed after your assessment.
For each treatment we work with a hospital and a surgeon chosen for that speciality. Once a surgeon has reviewed your case, we share their name and the hospital with you, before you book anything.

Risks and recovery
Every operation carries risk
Each procedure has its own risks, and only your surgeon can tell you what they are for you. Your surgeon explains them face to face, before you sign consent, with an interpreter beside you.
Recovery follows your surgeon's plan
Swelling and healing take time and differ from person to person. The hospital team gives you written instructions for care, activity and medication. Follow them, not general advice from websites, including this one.
Plastic surgery, answered
HospitalTR
Tap a question and I'll answer. Medical questions go to your surgeon; I pass them on.
Which procedures can you arrange?
Many aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures, including surgery of the nose, face, breast and body. Tell us what you are considering and the surgeon will advise what suits you.
Am I a candidate?
Only a surgeon can say. Send us your details and the surgeon reviews them free of charge. If the answer is no, we tell you.
How long will I stay in Istanbul?
It depends on the procedure. Often about a week, sometimes longer. Your surgeon sets your plan and your coordinator arranges your stay around it.
Can I speak to the surgeon before I book?
Yes. Send your questions to your coordinator on WhatsApp; they pass them to your surgeon and bring the answers back to you before you book.
How much does it cost?
Every plan is personal. Send us your details and your coordinator will share a written plan with everything it includes, before you book anything.
