Vispārīgi jautājumi
Viss, kas jāzina, dodoties uz Stambulu pēc savas procedūras.
Vai Turcijā operēties ir droši?
Pilnīgi noteikti. Turcija ir pasaules medicīnas tūrisma galamērķis Nr. 1 — ar vairāk nekā 1,2 miljoniem starptautisku pacientu gadā. Mūsu partnerslimnīcām ir JCI akreditācija (veselības aprūpes zelta standarts), un mūsu ķirurgi ir sertificēti ar 10+ gadu pieredzi. Visas uzturēšanās laikā nodrošinām pacientu aprūpi 24/7.
Kas ir iekļauts paketē ar visu iekļauto?
Mūsu paketes ietver: pašu procedūru, pirmsoperācijas asins analīzes un konsultācijas, uzturēšanos viesnīcā, VIP transfērus no lidostas, visas slimnīcas izmaksas, medikamentus, personīgo pacientu koordinatoru un kontroles vizītes pēc operācijas. Atsevišķi jāmaksā tikai par lidojumiem un personīgajiem izdevumiem.
Kā notiek apmaksa? Vai piedāvājat maksājumu plānus?
Pieņemam bankas pārskaitījumus, kredītkartes un debetkartes (Visa, Mastercard) un Klarna (pērc tagad, maksā vēlāk — pieejams 23 valstīs). Procedūrām no 2000 € līdz 6000 € piedāvājam arī 3 un 4 mēnešu maksājumu grafiku. Rezervāciju apstiprina 500 € depozīts, atlikusī summa jāsamaksā pirms procedūras.
Vai ceļojumam uz Turciju ir vajadzīga vīza?
Daudzu valstu pilsoņi e-vīzu var noformēt tiešsaistē dažu minūšu laikā (evisa.gov.tr). ES, Lielbritānijas, ASV un Kanādas pasu turētāji var saņemt vīzu ierodoties vai e-vīzu. Iesakām Turcijas e-vīzas vietnē pārbaudīt informāciju par savu valstspiederību. Vajadzības gadījumā mūsu komanda var palīdzēt arī ar ielūguma vēstuli vīzai.
Cik ilgi jāuzturas Stambulā?
Tas atkarīgs no procedūras. Matu transplantācija: 3-4 dienas. Zobārstniecība: 3-7 dienas. Rinoplastika: 7-10 dienas. BBL/abdominoplastika: 7-10 dienas. Krūšu palielināšana: 5-7 dienas. Kuņģa aploksne: 5-7 dienas. Detalizētu grafiku sniegsim bezmaksas konsultācijā.
Kādās valodās runā Jūsu darbinieki?
Mūsu pacientu koordinatori runā angļu, itāļu, turku, poļu, vācu, franču, spāņu un portugāļu valodā. Jums tiks piešķirts koordinators, kurš runā Jūsu valodā un pavadīs Jūs visa ceļojuma laikā — no ierašanās līdz izbraukšanai.
Kas notiek, ja pēc atgriešanās mājās rodas komplikācijas?
Mēs nodrošinām atbalstu pēc operācijas visa mūža garumā. Jums būs tieša WhatsApp saziņa ar savu koordinatoru un ķirurgu. Ja rodas kāda problēma, mēs organizējam attālinātas konsultācijas vai retos gadījumos sedzam korekcijas procedūras izmaksas. Vietējām kontroles vizītēm sadarbojamies arī ar klīnikām lielākajās Eiropas pilsētās.
Vai vienā braucienā var apvienot vairākas procedūras?
Jā, daudzi pacienti apvieno procedūras, lai ietaupītu laiku un naudu. Populāras kombinācijas ir rinoplastika + zobārstniecība, matu transplantācija + zobārstniecība vai BBL + krūšu palielināšana. Konsultācijas laikā ķirurgs ieteiks, kuras kombinācijas ir drošas un veicamas kopā.
Vai pirms apstiprināšanas saņemšu rakstisku piedāvājumu un ārstēšanas plānu?
Jā. Pēc bezmaksas tiešsaistes konsultācijas un ķirurga veiktas Jūsu fotoattēlu izvērtēšanas Jūs saņemat detalizētu rakstisku piedāvājumu, kurā skaidri norādīts, kas ir un kas nav iekļauts, kā arī personalizētu ārstēšanas plānu. Nekas nav jāapstiprina un nekas nav jāmaksā, pirms abi dokumenti ir Jūsu rokās.
Kādi izmeklējumi nepieciešami pirms operācijas?
Operācijai vispārējā narkozē mēs organizējam pilnu asins analīžu komplektu, EKG un atsevišķiem pacientiem arī krūškurvja rentgenu. Krūšu procedūrām var būt nepieciešama ultrasonogrāfija vai mamogrāfija. Visi pirmsoperācijas izmeklējumi ir iekļauti paketē un tiek veikti Stambulā pēc ierašanās, un pirms katras operācijas Jūs izvērtē anesteziologs.
Vai ir svara vai ĶMI ierobežojums?
Ķermeņa kontūru operācijām vēlams ĶMI zem 30–32 un stabils svars, jo augstāks ĶMI palielina anestēzijas un dzīšanas riskus, īpaši apvienotām procedūrām. Piemērotību ķirurgs apstiprina katrā gadījumā atsevišķi pēc Jūsu fotoattēliem un informācijas.
Vai pirms operācijas jāatmet smēķēšana vai jāpārtrauc kādi medikamenti?
Jā. Smēķēšana jāatmet vismaz 2–4 nedēļas pirms un pēc operācijas, jo tā pasliktina dzīšanu un rētu veidošanos. Asins šķidrinātāji un daži uztura bagātinātāji (omega-3, E vitamīns) jāpārtrauc pēc ķirurga norādījuma, bet dienās pirms operācijas jāizvairās no alkohola. Konsultācijas laikā nosauciet visus lietotos medikamentus.
Kāda anestēzija tiek izmantota?
Ķermeņa un krūšu operācijas veic vispārējā narkozē, ko vada atsevišķs anesteziologs ar pilnu novērošanu. Matu transplantācijas un dažas nelielas procedūras veic vietējā anestēzijā.
Kā tiek izlemts, kura procedūra, metode un ķirurgs man ir piemērotākie?
Mēs sākam ar Jūsu fotoattēliem un slimības vēsturi. Uz šī pamata ķirurgs apstiprina, vai esat piemērots kandidāts, iesaka metodi (piemēram, krūšu operācijas veidu vai rētu izvietojumu), un mēs piesaistām plastikas ķirurgu, kas Jūsu gadījumam ir vispiemērotākais, — pirms apstiprināšanas nosaucot viņa vārdu, specializāciju un pieredzi. Nekas nav standartizēts: katrs plāns tiek veidots atbilstoši Jūsu ķermenim un mērķiem.
Vai ir garantija un kādi ir korekcijas un atcelšanas noteikumi?
Mēs nodrošinām atbalstu pēc operācijas visa mūža garumā, un, ja korekcija nepieciešama ar pašu operāciju saistītu iemeslu dēļ, tās izmaksas sedzam saskaņā ar mūsu politiku; korekcijas netiek segtas, ja iemesls ir pacienta faktori (svara izmaiņas, smēķēšana, aprūpes norādījumu neievērošana). Rezervāciju apstiprina 500 € depozīts, kas ir atmaksājams 14 dienu laikā; atlikusī summa jāsamaksā pirms operācijas. Precīzi noteikumi ir norādīti Jūsu rakstiskajā piedāvājumā.
FUE Hair Transplant
Skatīt procedūruHow many grafts do I need for a FUE hair transplant?
It depends on your Norwood stage and the area to cover. Most patients need 2,000 to 4,000 grafts. During your free consultation the surgeon assesses your donor density and hairline design to give you an exact number. We never over-harvest — protecting the donor area keeps the result natural from every angle.
Does a FUE hair transplant hurt?
Local anaesthesia fully numbs the scalp before extraction begins. You feel pressure but no pain during the procedure. Afterwards most patients rate discomfort at 2 out of 10 and manage it with standard painkillers for 2 to 3 days.
When will I see results after FUE?
Transplanted hairs shed between weeks 2 and 4 — this is normal and expected. New growth starts at month 3 to 4. By month 8 you see about 80% of the final density, with full results at 12 to 18 months. The transplanted hair is permanent.
How much does a FUE hair transplant cost in Istanbul?
At Estetica Istanbul FUE starts from €2,150 all-inclusive: procedure, hotel, transfers, medication and 12-month follow-up. The same procedure costs €5,000 to €15,000 in the UK or Western Europe. Flights are not included.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for FUE?
We recommend 3 nights. Day 1 is the procedure, day 2 the first wash and check-up, day 3 you fly home. Recovery continues at home with WhatsApp support from our medical team.
Can I combine FUE with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients add a beard transplant, eyebrow transplant or PRP therapy in the same trip. Combining saves on travel cost and recovery time. Our team will advise what can safely be done together.
Rhinoplasty
Skatīt procedūruHow much does rhinoplasty cost in Istanbul?
At Estetica Istanbul rhinoplasty starts from €3,190 all-inclusive: surgery, general anaesthesia, hospital stay, hotel, VIP transfers and 12-month follow-up. The same procedure costs €6,000 to €12,000 in the UK or Western Europe. Flights are not included.
How long is recovery after rhinoplasty?
The splint comes off on day 7. Most swelling resolves within 2 to 3 weeks. You return to work at 10 to 14 days; exercise is restricted for 6 weeks. The nose keeps refining for up to 12 months as residual swelling subsides.
Will I have visible scars after rhinoplasty?
In open rhinoplasty a tiny incision on the columella (between the nostrils) fades to a barely visible line within 3 months. Closed rhinoplasty leaves no external scar at all — every incision is inside the nose.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
We recommend 6 nights. The splint is removed on day 7 and you fly home the same day or the next, so the surgeon can monitor early healing and make any small adjustments.
Can rhinoplasty fix breathing problems?
Yes. Our partner surgeons routinely correct a deviated septum and turbinate issues during the same operation. Functional and cosmetic concerns are addressed together at no extra cost.
What if I am not happy with the result?
With experienced surgeons the revision rate is under 5%. We use 3D imaging in consultation so you see a simulation before committing. If a revision is needed we offer it at a reduced fee within the first 18 months.
Breast Augmentation
Skatīt procedūruHow much does breast augmentation cost in Istanbul?
At Estetica Istanbul breast augmentation starts from €4,300 all-inclusive with premium Motiva or Mentor implants: surgery, hospital stay, hotel, transfers and follow-up. The same procedure costs €6,000 to €10,000 in the UK. Flights are not included.
How long do breast implants last?
Modern implants are designed to last 15 to 20 years or longer and have no fixed expiry date. Regular check-ups with an ultrasound every few years are advised. Replacement is only needed if you have a complication or want to change size.
What size implants should I get?
In consultation the surgeon uses 3D imaging and sizer implants so you can visualise different volumes on your frame. The right size depends on chest width, tissue coverage and your goals. We guide you toward a proportionate result, not just a cup size.
How painful is breast augmentation recovery?
The first 3 to 5 days involve moderate tightness and soreness, managed with prescribed painkillers — most describe it as muscle soreness rather than sharp pain. By week 2 discomfort is minimal. You return to desk work at 7 to 10 days.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
In most cases yes. Implants placed under the muscle through an inframammary incision have the lowest impact on milk ducts. The surgeon will discuss incision and placement options that preserve breastfeeding.
When can I exercise after breast augmentation?
Light walking from day 1. Upper-body exercise is restricted for 6 weeks. Full gym activity, including chest work, is permitted at 8 weeks. A supportive sports bra is recommended for 3 months.
Do you perform breast augmentation with the Preservé technique?
Yes. We use original Motiva instrumentation and SmoothSilk Ergonomix2 implants: a roughly 2.5–3 cm inframammary incision, a pocket above the muscle, local anaesthesia with sedation, no drains and same-day discharge. Your surgeon confirms the indication at consultation — not every anatomy suits it, and where there is significant ptosis or very thin tissue we will recommend the correct technique rather than the requested one.
How much does Preservé cost compared with traditional breast augmentation?
It costs more than the standard €4,300 augmentation, because it requires the Motiva surgical kit and Ergonomix2 implants. We give you the exact figure in your quote, all-inclusive and with no surprises. For reference, the same procedure is quoted between €7,500 and €12,000 in Italy.
Is Preservé really done without general anaesthesia?
Yes — local anaesthesia with conscious sedation, with the anaesthesiologist present throughout. It is one of the reasons recovery is faster: no waking up from a general, discharge a few hours after surgery, desk work in three to five days.
Breast Lift
Skatīt procedūruWhat is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation?
A breast lift (mastopexy) reshapes and raises sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple, without significantly changing size. Augmentation adds volume with implants. Many patients combine both for lift plus fullness — the surgeon advises in consultation.
How much does a breast lift cost in Istanbul?
At Estetica Istanbul a breast lift starts from €3,250 all-inclusive. A combined lift with implants is priced higher, confirmed per case. Both packages include hospital stay, hotel, transfers and follow-up. Flights are not included.
Will a breast lift leave scars?
Yes, but they are strategically placed. The most common technique leaves an anchor-shaped scar around the areola, vertically down and along the breast fold. Scars fade significantly over 12 months and are hidden by bras and swimwear.
How long does a breast lift last?
Results are long-lasting but not immune to gravity and ageing. Most patients enjoy them for 10 to 15 years. A stable weight and supportive bras extend the longevity of the lift.
Can I combine a breast lift with other procedures?
Yes. Common combinations include a lift with augmentation, tummy tuck or liposuction. Combining reduces total recovery and travel cost. The surgeon confirms what can safely be done together.
Breast Reduction
Skatīt procedūruHow much does breast reduction cost in Istanbul?
At Estetica Istanbul breast reduction starts from €3,250 all-inclusive: surgery, hospital stay, hotel, transfers, compression garment and 12-month follow-up. Flights are not included.
Will breast reduction relieve my back pain?
Yes. Most patients report significant improvement in back, neck and shoulder pain within weeks. Breast reduction has one of the highest satisfaction rates in plastic surgery precisely because of the functional relief it provides.
How much can be removed during breast reduction?
It varies by patient. Most reductions remove 300 to 800 grams per breast (roughly 1 to 3 cup sizes). The surgeon determines the optimal amount based on your frame, symptoms and goals in consultation.
Can I breastfeed after breast reduction?
Breastfeeding may be affected depending on the technique. Techniques that preserve the nipple blood supply and ducts give the best chance. If future breastfeeding matters to you, discuss it with the surgeon beforehand.
What is the recovery time for breast reduction?
Most patients return to desk work at 10 to 14 days. A surgical bra is worn for 6 weeks and exercise is restricted for 6 weeks. Scars mature over 12 to 18 months and are typically hidden by bra lines.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
Skatīt procedūruHow does the BBL procedure work?
A Brazilian Butt Lift harvests fat by liposuction from areas such as the abdomen or flanks, purifies it, and injects it strategically into the buttocks for shape and volume. It uses your own tissue — no implant.
How long does a BBL take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours, depending on the volume of fat harvested and the complexity of buttock sculpting.
What is recovery like after a BBL?
You avoid direct pressure on the buttocks for about 2 to 3 weeks to protect the fat grafts — sitting on a special cushion and sleeping on your front or side. Light activity resumes at 3 weeks; the shape settles over 2 to 3 months.
How much does a BBL cost in Istanbul?
A BBL in Istanbul starts from 4 050 € all-inclusive, considerably less than Western Europe, with high-quality results from experienced surgeons. Flights are not included.
Will my BBL results last?
Yes. The transferred fat that survives integration becomes a permanent part of your body. With a stable weight, results typically last 5 to 10 years or longer.
How much fat survives the transfer?
Typically 60 to 80% of the transferred fat survives permanently. The surgeon harvests a little extra to account for the natural reabsorption during healing.
Is a BBL safe? How do you manage the risk?
The serious historical risk is fat embolism if fat is injected into the muscle. Modern safe practice — standard in our JCI-accredited partner hospitals — injects only into the subcutaneous layer, often under ultrasound guidance. Your suitability and risks are reviewed transparently at consultation.
Liposuction
Skatīt procedūruWhat areas can be treated with liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat from the abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chin and back. The best results occur in areas with good skin elasticity.
How long does liposuction take?
Typically 1 to 3 hours, depending on the number and size of areas treated.
What is the recovery time after liposuction?
Patients return to light activity within 1 week and normal exercise within 3 to 4 weeks. Compression garments are worn for 4 to 6 weeks to optimise the result.
How much does liposuction cost in Istanbul?
Liposuction in Istanbul starts from €2,450 all-inclusive, depending on the area size and technique, with significant savings versus European clinics. Flights are not included.
When will I see liposuction results?
Initial improvement is visible immediately, but final results appear at 2 to 3 months as swelling resolves and the skin contracts to the new contours.
Is liposuction a weight-loss solution?
No — it is body contouring, not weight-loss surgery. It works best for patients at or near their goal weight who want to remove stubborn fat and improve proportions.
What are the risks of liposuction?
Temporary swelling and bruising, contour irregularities and, rarely, infection. These are minimised with correct surgical technique and good aftercare.
Tummy Tuck
Skatīt procedūruWhat does a tummy tuck involve?
Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat, tightens the abdominal muscles (diastasis) and repositions the belly button to create a flat, firm abdomen.
How long does tummy tuck surgery take?
Typically 2 to 4 hours, depending on the extent of skin removal and muscle repair.
What is the recovery period for a tummy tuck?
2 to 3 weeks for light activity, 4 to 6 weeks before returning to exercise, and 2 to 3 months for full healing and final results.
How much does a tummy tuck cost in Istanbul?
A tummy tuck in Istanbul starts from €3,690 all-inclusive, considerably less than comparable surgery in Europe while maintaining high standards. Flights are not included.
Will I have a visible scar after a tummy tuck?
Yes, a horizontal scar along the lower abdomen, placed low to stay hidden by underwear; it fades to a thin line over 12 to 18 months. The full technique also leaves a small scar around the belly button.
Is a tummy tuck permanent?
Results are long-lasting when you keep a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Significant weight gain or pregnancy can affect them, but the improvement is durable.
Can I combine a tummy tuck with other procedures?
Yes, it is often combined with liposuction, BBL or other body contouring for a complete transformation in one operation (the classic Mommy Makeover).
Arm Lift
Skatīt procedūruHow much does an arm lift cost in Istanbul?
At Estetica Istanbul an arm lift (brachioplasty) starts from €3,250 all-inclusive: surgeon, hospital, anaesthesia, medication, compression garments and aftercare. No hidden costs; flights are not included.
Will I have visible scars after an arm lift?
The scar runs along the inner arm, hidden when your arms are down by your sides. Initially red, it fades and flattens significantly over 12 to 18 months. Surgeons use meticulous closure techniques to minimise visibility.
How long is the recovery?
You return to light activity and desk work in 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery takes 4 to 6 weeks, avoiding lifting and strain. Final results show at 6 to 8 weeks as swelling settles.
Is an arm lift permanent?
Yes, results are permanent — the excess skin removed does not return. Keeping the result requires a stable weight and healthy lifestyle; significant weight gain can affect it.
Can I combine it with other procedures?
Yes, it is often combined with liposuction, a tummy tuck or a thigh lift in the same session. Many patients choose a complete body transformation in one trip.
What type of anaesthesia is used?
Usually general anaesthesia, managed by a dedicated anaesthetist with full monitoring. The exact approach is confirmed at the pre-operative assessment.
Will I lose sensation in my arms?
Some temporary numbness is normal early on and usually resolves within 3 to 6 months as the nerves heal. Permanent changes in sensation are rare with experienced surgeons and careful technique.
Mommy Makeover
Skatīt procedūruHow much does a Mommy Makeover cost in Istanbul?
A Mommy Makeover (breast plus abdomen, with optional liposuction) starts from €5,490 for the combined procedures — already discounted versus the sum of the individual surgeries. The plan is tailored, from a lift alone to a full reconstruction. Flights are not included.
What is the recovery timeline?
Light activities resume in 2 to 3 weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are avoided for 8 to 12 weeks. Most patients feel normal within 4 weeks. Because these are combined procedures, recovery is supervised more closely.
Is a Mommy Makeover painful?
Pain varies by procedure but is generally moderate and well managed with prescribed medication. Most discomfort subsides significantly by day 10 to 14.
How long do the results last?
Surgical results are long-lasting and permanent. Ageing, weight changes and future pregnancies may cause gradual changes, but the improvement remains substantial.
What are the risks of combining multiple procedures?
Combining slightly increases operative time and recovery. Infection and blood clots are rare with prophylaxis protocols. For your safety the surgeon may choose to stage some procedures based on your photos and health.
Which procedures are included in a Mommy Makeover?
Typical combinations: breast lift or augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction and body contouring. We customise based on your goals and anatomy.
How many days should I plan in Istanbul?
Plan 10 to 14 days: 1 to 2 pre-op, the surgery, 4 to 5 recovery and 2 to 3 follow-up visits. Complex combined cases benefit from extended recovery supervision.
Gastric Sleeve
Skatīt procedūruHow much weight will I lose with a gastric sleeve?
Most patients lose 50 to 70% of their excess weight within 18 to 24 months. For example, someone 60 kg overweight typically loses 30 to 42 kg. Results depend on diet, exercise and metabolism.
How much does a gastric sleeve cost in Istanbul?
At Estetica Istanbul a gastric sleeve starts from €3,570 all-inclusive: surgery, anaesthesia, hospital stay and post-operative care. That is 60 to 70% less than Western Europe, with identical quality standards. Flights are not included.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to light activity within 2 to 3 weeks and normal exercise by 4 to 6 weeks. The stomach heals internally within 6 to 8 weeks. You will have 2 to 3 follow-up appointments in the first year.
What is the success rate of a gastric sleeve?
The procedure has an 85 to 90% success rate for significant, sustained weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes. Complication rates are low (2 to 3%) with experienced bariatric surgeons like ours.
Will I have excess skin after weight loss?
Yes, rapid weight loss often leaves excess skin, especially on the abdomen, arms and thighs. Many patients later choose body contouring to remove it, usually 12 to 18 months post-sleeve once weight stabilises.
What can I eat after a gastric sleeve?
Immediately after: clear liquids. Weeks 2 to 4: soft foods. Weeks 4 to 6: regular foods in small portions. You eat 4 to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones, prioritising protein, vegetables and hydration and avoiding sugary and fatty foods.
