The health tourism sector, which has been promoted for a long time, has started to bear fruit in recent years. Men and women from the Middle East and European countries flock to our country for hair transplant and aesthetic operations. This heavy traffic did not go unnoticed by the British press. Turkey’s unstoppable rise in the health field was on the headlines today. British citizens mostly come to Turkey for aesthetic operations such as dental treatment, hair transplant and liposuction.
ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGES ATTRACT ATTENTION
Clinics in Turkey offer packages including treatment, airfare and accommodation to attract people from abroad. The British give various warnings to those who will come to our country in this regard. It was pointed out that the packages in Turkey also include extra services such as hotel accommodation, meals, massage and VIP transportation.
COMPARED WITH TURKEY AND ENGLAND
It was stated in the news that popular operations such as breast augmentation and reduction surgeries, facial fillings and rhinoplasty in Turkey are much cheaper than private clinics in England, and that it is very natural for many Brits to choose Turkey for aesthetics. The news also included operations that are forbidden in England but are free in Turkey.
“TURKEY, THE AESTHETIC CAPITAL OF THE WORLD”
In the news, which commented that Istanbul has turned into the aesthetic capital of the world, prices were compared.
It was stated that breast augmentation surgery in Turkey costs at most 3 thousand pounds (66 thousand TL), that is, almost half the price of the one in England. According to the news, while nose surgery is performed over £6,000 in England, it costs £2,500 in Turkey.
The cost of Liposuction, known as the operation to remove fat from the body, is £4,800 in the UK, and the price in Turkey is £1,600.
“SHOULD NOT BE OFFERED LIKE A HOLIDAY”
While the newspaper also included expert opinions, the statement of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons that presenting plastic surgeries as a holiday was “wrong and misleading” was also conveyed.
It was commented that these operations should be handled very seriously and could be risky, and a warning was given against complications.
