Procedures
Which cosmetic procedures do UK patients ask about?
The most common enquiries are about rhinoplasty, breast surgery, facelifts and body contouring. You do not need to choose a procedure before speaking with a surgeon: describe what you are considering, and the surgeon can explain what may or may not be appropriate for you.
- 01
Rhinoplasty
Discuss your goals, breathing where relevant, the proposed approach, recovery and what can realistically be achieved in your case.
- 02
Breast surgery
Augmentation, reduction or uplift, with a surgeon who can explain suitability, options, scars, recovery and longer-term considerations.
- 03
Facelift
Ask what the surgeon recommends for your concerns, what the procedure involves and how recovery and follow-up are planned.
- 04
Body contouring
Procedures vary considerably. The consultation should make clear what is proposed, why, and the recovery involved.
- 05
Combined procedures
If more than one procedure is discussed, ask for the clinical reasoning and whether combining them is appropriate for you.

Rhinoplasty
What should I discuss before rhinoplasty in Türkiye?
Explain your goals and any breathing concerns, then ask the surgeon about the proposed approach, the alternatives, the risks, the expected recovery and what can realistically be assessed before surgery. Allow for the appointments and recovery time the surgeon recommends before you book your flights.
- Is my concern cosmetic, functional, or both, and how does that change the plan?
- What approach are you proposing, and why?
- What are the main risks and limitations in my case?
- Which checks happen before I fly home, and when?
- Who do I contact with concerns after I return to the UK?
Before deciding
What should I ask a cosmetic surgeon before booking?
The questions matter as much as the quote. Ask who will operate, what their relevant qualifications and experience are, where the surgery takes place, what anaesthesia is planned, how complications are managed and what follow-up is included. Get the answers in writing.
- Who will perform my surgery, and what are their qualifications and experience?
- Where will the procedure take place?
- What anaesthesia is planned?
- What are the main risks, and how are complications managed?
- How long should I stay in Türkiye, and when will you consider me fit to fly?
- What follow-up is included once I am home?
Recovery timelines vary by procedure and person, so travel plans should follow the surgeon's advice.

Can I speak with a surgeon before travelling?
Yes, where the hospital offers it. Turwel can arrange an online consultation so you can discuss your goals and questions with a surgeon before making travel arrangements.
How long should I stay in Türkiye after cosmetic surgery?
It depends on the procedure and the surgeon's clinical advice. Confirm the expected recovery period, planned checks and advice on flying before booking your return journey.
