Türkiye’s medical tourism is flourishing, primarily driven by the increasing demand for cosmetic surgeries such as the Mommy Makeover, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast aesthetics. Acclaimed plastic surgeon Dr. Salih Onur Basat observes a rising trend in these comprehensive surgeries and foresees this demand growing even more in 2024.
Türkiye’s health tourism sector is making notable advancements. The EY (Ernst & Young) Tourism Sector Assessment report for 2023, published in November, indicates that interest in Türkiye’s health tourism is on the rise. The first half of 2023 saw almost 750 thousand visitors arriving in the country for health services alone.
Dr. Salih Onur Basat, a reputable plastic surgeon in Türkiye, examines the reasons behind Türkiye’s escalating success in the realm of 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 is rapidly establishing itself as a leading destination for elective surgery
Dr. Basat remarks, “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 highlights the exceptional standards of Türkiye’s health infrastructure and its commitment to improving quality through skilled doctors and healthcare personnel.
A comprehensive method for post-pregnancy body recovery
The Mommy Makeover, which includes breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction, is increasingly popular among international patients. Dr. Basat stresses its individualised approach, targeting specific postnatal body changes. He advises patients on the significance of rest and following post-surgical guidelines for the best recovery outcomes. Türkiye’s cosmetic surgery offerings extend beyond the Mommy Makeover, with Dr. Basat noting the demand for breast aesthetics, BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, and rhinoplasty.
International patients seeking thorough care in Türkiye: opt for certified clinics
“To achieve desired results, it’s crucial to select a specialised surgeon and have realistic post-operative expectations,” Dr. Basat recommends to those considering surgery in Türkiye. Türkiye’s health tourism sector is focused on achieving a lofty goal of US$ 20 billion, driven by its solid health infrastructure and the calibre of its medical staff.
As Türkiye continues to shine in health tourism, offering high-end cosmetic and medical procedures, it remains an appealing destination for global patients in search of quality, affordability, and healthcare expertise.
