A few countries have built themselves recognition (even infamy) for their brand of cosmetic surgery. Koreans have K-Beauty, Colombia has become a go-to for liposuction, and Brazil has its own buttocks-enhancement procedure

Recently, Turkey climbed up that list through its plastic surgery methods, which have grown in global popularity over recent years. If you’re unfamiliar with the outcomes of such operations, here are some photos for you to check out. 

These before-and-after pictures show how starkly different a person can look after undergoing the procedures. Scroll through and be mesmerized.

    Before and after cosmetic surgery in Turkey showing significant changes in a young man's facial appearance from multiple angles.

    From childhood, he faced the challenges of a short face and Class 2 malocclusion—a condition that not only affected the aesthetics of his facial structure but also led to issues with jaw closure and a small airway.

    As he grew older, the time came to take the next step: orthognathic surgery. The goal was clear—to improve not just his facial aesthetics but also his airway function and the health of his temporomandibular joints.

    We performed bimaxillary surgery, carefully aligning his upper and lower jaws. Six months later, to further enhance both his airway and his overall appearance, we completed the process with genioplasty.

    The popularity of Turkish plastic surgery has also benefited the country’s economy. In 2022, Turkey’s global medical tourism market was reportedly valued at $14 billion. According to Aktif International Hospital in Istanbul, the government also offers packages that combine medical care with “unique cultural experiences.”

    So, why has Turkey become a hotspot for people seeking to alter their physical appearance? Price is one of the top reasons. According to Baltimore-based plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffery Schrieber, people can get half the price of what they would pay in the United States. 

    “While a breast augmentation in the U.S. may cost around $6,000 to $12,000, the same procedure in Turkey might only cost $3,000 to $5,000,” Dr. Schrieber wrote in an article for his website, adding that the potential savings can easily attract people.

    Speaking to the cultural experience, Dr. Schrieber explains that Turkey packages it as a “medical vacation” to help individuals feel enjoyment about the procedure they are about to undergo. At the same time, it amplifies the excitement of getting the body they’ve always wanted.  

    Dr. Schrieber adds that many clinics in Turkey are likewise savvy with their marketing, promising top-notch care and impressive results courtesy of some of the world’s best surgeons.

    Just remarkable! I wanna go to Turkey!

    If you’re someone living abroad, Turkey’s packages become more enticing. Most clinics offer all-inclusive packages that include pre-operative consultations (video call if necessary), accommodation in upscale hotels, and transportation, in addition to the surgery and post-operative care. 

    They rid patients of the need to deal with logistical hassles, which would be difficult to pass up for potential overseas clients.
