The medical tourism landscape in Türkiye is thriving, with a robust demand for aesthetic surgeries like the Mommy Makeover, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast aesthetics. Noted plastic surgeon Dr. Salih Onur Basat observes an upward trajectory in these procedures, predicting a continued rise in demand through 2024.
Türkiye’s health tourism is charting new heights. The EY (Ernst & Young) Tourism Sector Assessment 2023, unveiled in November, reveals a growing fascination with health tourism in Türkiye, attracting nearly 750 thousand health service visitors in H1 2023.
Dr. Salih Onur Basat, a prominent plastic surgeon in Türkiye, explores the driving forces behind Türkiye’s ascendancy in aesthetic surgeries. “I anticipate that the increasing demand for Brazilian butt lift (BBL), tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast aesthetic surgeries in Turkey will persist into 2024.”
Türkiye establishing itself as a premier global destination for elective surgery
Dr. Basat notes, “Türkiye has become a global destination for high-quality, affordable elective, reconstructive surgery, thanks to its state-of-the-art facilities and the expertise of our medical professionals.” He underscores the excellence of Türkiye’s health infrastructure and its commitment to quality enhancement with its team of skilled medical experts.
A full-scale strategy for postnatal body rejuvenation
The Mommy Makeover, encompassing breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction, is a hit among international patients. Dr. Basat highlights its customised approach, catering specifically to women’s post-childbirth bodily transformations. He emphasises the necessity of rest and compliance with post-surgery protocols for successful recovery. Beyond the Mommy Makeover, Türkiye is known for its wide array of cosmetic surgeries, including breast aesthetics, BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, and rhinoplasty, as Dr. Basat points out.
International patients seeking an all-encompassing medical journey in Türkiye: choose authorised clinics
“To achieve desired results, it’s crucial to select a specialised surgeon and have realistic post-operative expectations,” advises Dr. Basat to those considering surgery in Türkiye. Türkiye’s health tourism sector is aiming high, eyeing a US$ 20 billion target, driven by its advanced health infrastructure and the exceptional skills of its medical practitioners.
As Türkiye continues to lead in health tourism, offering superior cosmetic and medical procedures, it remains a go-to destination for international patients seeking affordability, quality, and medical expertise.
