If you’re comparing plastic surgery in the UK and Turkey, ask each provider the same questions. A written quote helps you compare costs. A consultation with the surgeon helps you decide whether the proposed operation is right for you.
Use this checklist before you pay a deposit or book flights. The NHS checklist for treatment abroad explains what to plan with your care providers at home and overseas.
1. Check where your operation will take place
Ask for the hospital’s name, address and current authorisation. For surgery under general anaesthesia, ask about the anaesthetic team and what happens if you need intensive care or emergency treatment.
2. Speak to the surgeon who will treat you
Ask about their training, registration and experience with the operation you’re considering. Discuss the likely outcome, alternatives, risks and how the surgeon handles complications or revision surgery.
3. Ask for details of any implants
If implants are part of your plan, check the manufacturer, model, monitoring needs and warranty terms. Ask what records you’ll receive to share with a clinician in the UK.
4. Compare itemised quotes
Check the cost of the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital, implants, dressings and follow-up. Add flights, insurance, transfers and any nights you may need to book separately. Use our price guide in pounds as a starting point.
As a guide, primary rhinoplasty is £4,050 with Esthetic Medical, about 55% below the midpoint of our UK private fee estimate of £7,500–£10,500. A full facelift is about 60% lower on the same basis. See the UK price comparisons for the figures and check what each written quote includes.
5. Plan your recovery and the flight home
Ask how long the clinic wants you to stay locally, when it will review your recovery and who decides when you can fly. Arrange aftercare before you travel and ask for a discharge summary in English.
