Plastic Surgery is among the treatments UK patients most often travel abroad to access at a lower cost. Istanbul is the heart of Turkey's medical tourism industry and the busiest city in the world for hair transplants and dental work. The city holds a dense cluster of JCI accredited hospitals and specialist clinics, with surgeons who often treat more international patients in a month than a UK clinic sees in a year.
Privately in the UK, plastic surgery costs around £6,500 and is rarely available on the NHS. At an accredited clinic in Istanbul, the same treatment typically costs about £2,300 all inclusive, a saving of roughly 64%. Prices usually cover consultation, surgery, anaesthesia, hospital stay, compression garments, hotel and transfers.
