Türkiye’s medical tourism sector is experiencing a notable boom, largely driven by the increasing demand for aesthetic procedures such as Mommy Makeover, Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast aesthetics. Illustrious plastic surgeon Dr. Salih Onur Basat observes this upward trend in these extensive surgeries, predicting an even greater demand in 2024.
The health tourism industry in Türkiye is achieving significant landmarks. The EY (Ernst & Young) 2023 Tourism Sector Assessment, released in November, indicates a continuing surge in interest in Türkiye’s health tourism, with almost 750 thousand individuals visiting for health services in the first half of 2023.
Dr. Salih Onur Basat, a distinguished plastic surgeon in Türkiye, discusses the factors behind Türkiye’s growing acclaim 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 rapidly emerging as a top international choice 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 outstanding quality of Türkiye’s health infrastructure and its focus on elevating standards with talented medical personnel.
An encompassing strategy for post-pregnancy body refinement
The Mommy Makeover, involving breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction, is extremely popular among international clients. Dr. Basat emphasises its tailored approach, particularly addressing the specific changes women face after childbirth. He stresses the importance of adequate rest and following post-surgery recommendations for successful healing. Türkiye’s cosmetic surgery spectrum extends beyond the Mommy Makeover, with Dr. Basat noting the growing popularity of breast aesthetics, BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, and rhinoplasty.
International patients seeking a complete medical experience in Türkiye: opt for accredited clinics
“To achieve desired results, it’s crucial to select a specialised surgeon and have realistic post-operative expectations,” Dr. Basat suggests to those planning on undergoing surgery in Türkiye. The health tourism sector in Türkiye, aiming for a US$ 20 billion target, is powered by its robust health infrastructure and the expertise of its medical staff.
As Türkiye continues to excel in health tourism, offering state-of-the-art cosmetic and medical procedures, it stands as a preferred destination for international patients in search of quality, affordability, and medical expertise.
