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.
Our lovely patient from Germany achieved her dream of turning back time with a Deep Plane Full Face and Neck Lift.
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.”
Midface and temple lift, lip lift with fat injection, and upper/under blepharoplasty.
Our main goal in rhinoplasty: a natural, nose that matches all proportions of the face.
Through rhinoplasty surgery, the nose structure of our patient was shaped to match her facial lines.
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.
Deep-plane facelift surgery has a shorter recovery time. This technique ensures long-lasting results. The surgery takes an average of 6 hours.
