However, after the pandemic, Turkey has picked up significant speed in 2022 and has treated 1,258,382 international plastic surgery patients.

Turkey is the leading country offering its patients world-class facilities and expert surgeons at affordable costs. The affordability of plastic surgery prices and high-quality services are the main reasons people visit Turkey. 

Turkey offers much lower costs than other European countries, the UK, and the US; in Turkey, lower costs do not mean lower quality. It is possible to have various surgeries at 50% cheaper than in any other country due to the low labor cost and currency balance between the Turkish Lira, GBP, USD, and Euro.

Furthermore, Turkey is home to numerous hospitals and clinics that are competitors. Therefore, competence is another factor making the prices lower. Also, the low-cost living conditions in Turkey affect medical treatments. 

The first-class quality in Turkey is incontestable since Turkey is full of internationally accredited hospitals and clinics with highly skilled and US board-certified doctors following international healthcare standards and using exceptional medications. The growth of the healthcare infrastructure in Turkey, supported by the government and private-public partnerships, is continuously improving with the latest technology.
