Frequently asked questions
Is plastic surgery available on the NHS in Londonderry?
Cosmetic plastic surgery is not routinely available on the NHS in Northern Ireland. Reconstructive procedures following injury or medical necessity may qualify, but purely aesthetic treatments require private payment. This is why many Londonderry residents consider accredited international clinics.
What is the typical cost difference between Londonderry and Turkey?
Private procedures in Londonderry range from 4,000 to 15,000 pounds, whilst equivalent treatments in Istanbul cost 1,500 to 5,000 pounds. This represents savings of 60 to 70 percent for many common procedures. The lower cost reflects regional pricing differences rather than reduced quality.
How long does recovery take after plastic surgery abroad?
Most patients require 7 to 14 days away for initial recovery, though full healing takes several weeks. Many Londonderry patients stay in the destination country for the first week post-procedure to attend follow-up appointments. Surgeons provide detailed aftercare instructions for the flight home and recovery at home.
Are international plastic surgeons accredited and qualified?
Top clinics in Istanbul, Prague and Krakow employ board-certified surgeons with extensive training and international credentials. Many have trained in the UK, USA or Europe and maintain ongoing professional development. Dr.Visor reviews clinic accreditation, surgeon qualifications and patient reviews before featuring providers.
What happens if I need follow-up care after returning to Londonderry?
International clinics typically provide remote follow-up via photographs and consultations for the first three months. Londonderry GPs can manage basic post-operative care including suture removal, though complex issues are handled directly with the original clinic. Most packages include unlimited contact with your surgeon for the first year.
