Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing progress, typically scheduled at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-surgery. Many clinics offer remote consultations via video calls for international patients once they return home.
Most clinics accept major credit cards and bank transfers; however, it's wise to confirm accepted payment methods beforehand. Currency exchange services are widely available at airports and banks; using local currency (Turkish Lira) might be beneficial for smaller transactions.
Turkey is known for its hospitality, but it's important to respect local customs and traditions. Understanding basic cultural norms can enhance your experience; however, most medical professionals are accustomed to working with international patients.
Most health insurance plans do not cover elective cosmetic procedures performed abroad. It's crucial to check with your insurance provider beforehand and consider purchasing travel insurance that covers medical complications.
Post-operative care typically includes follow-up examinations, medications, and consultations with your surgeon. Many packages offer hospital stays followed by hotel accommodations to ensure comfort during recovery.
Check if the clinic is accredited by international bodies like JCI or has surgeons who are members of ISAPS. Online reviews and testimonials from previous patients can also provide insights into the clinic's reputation.
If complications arise post-surgery, contact your Turkish surgeon immediately for advice. Many clinics provide virtual follow-up consultations, but you may also need to consult a local healthcare provider for immediate concerns.
Many clinics in Turkey offer services in English and have multilingual staff to assist international patients. It's advisable to confirm language support during initial consultations to ensure clear communication throughout your treatment.
Plan for a stay of at least 10-14 days in Turkey to allow for pre-operative consultation, surgery, and initial recovery. Ensure your travel includes airport-clinic-hotel transfers, which are often included in medical packages.
Recovery from a Male BBL typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, with initial swelling and bruising subsiding within the first two weeks. Patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for at least two weeks and can usually resume normal activities after about six weeks.
Verify the surgeon's credentials through reputable organizations such as the ISAPS or the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Look for reviews and before-and-after photos of previous Male BBL patients to gauge their expertise.
Male BBL procedures carry risks such as infection, fat embolism, asymmetry, and prolonged swelling. Choosing a board-certified surgeon reduces these risks significantly. Ensure the facility is accredited by organizations like ISAPS or JCI for higher safety standards.
Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.
As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.
In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
