Key Considerations Before Booking

• Board certification: Confirm your surgeon is certified by the Turkish Ministry of Health and holds a membership such as ISAPS or TPRAS/TSPRAS.
• Hospital accreditation: Choose a JCI-accredited hospital — the same standard used by leading US and UK hospitals. Verifiable on JCI's own directory.
• What's included: Get a written quote naming the hospital and surgeon, and confirming pre-op tests, anesthesia, hospital stay, and garments are covered.
• Aftercare plan: Confirm your follow-up schedule, emergency contact, and revision policy in writing before booking — not after you've flown home.

Rememore works exclusively with Memorial Health Group's JCI-accredited hospitals and Ministry of Health-certified surgeons, and includes a structured aftercare plan in every package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Turkey good for plastic surgery?
Yes. Turkey combines Joint Commission International (JCI)-accredited hospitals, surgeons certified by the Turkish Ministry of Health and affiliated with bodies like TPRAS/TSPRAS or ISAPS, and costs typically 50–70% lower than the UK or US, making it one of the highest-volume medical tourism destinations for plastic surgery worldwide.

Are Turkish hospitals JCI accredited?
Rememore works exclusively with JCI-accredited hospitals in Turkey, meaning they're audited against the same international patient-safety, infection-control, and clinical-governance standards required of leading hospitals in the US and Europe. Patients can verify a hospital's status directly through JCI's own accreditation directory.

Why do people travel to Turkey for plastic surgery?
Patients travel to Turkey for the combination of board-certified surgeons, JCI-accredited and Ministry of Health-licensed facilities, significantly lower prices, and all-inclusive packages that cover surgery, hospital stay, accommodation, and transport in one transparent quote.

Is plastic surgery in Turkey safe, and what about the malpractice stories?
Reports of poor outcomes almost always trace back to unlicensed clinics or brokers operating outside proper oversight — a risk that exists in any country when a patient bypasses accreditation checks. Choosing a JCI-accredited hospital and a Ministry of Health-certified surgeon, and confirming aftercare in writing before booking, removes the specific failure points behind those stories. Rememore only works with accredited hospitals and verified surgeons, and provides English-speaking coordinators, pre-op video consultations, and a structured aftercare plan for patients traveling from the UK, US, and elsewhere.

How much does plastic surgery in Turkey cost compared to the UK or US?
Costs vary by procedure, but most patients save 50–70% compared to equivalent surgery in the UK or US, even after factoring in flights and accommodation, due to Turkey's lower operational costs and highly competitive medical tourism market.

What is included in an all-inclusive plastic surgery package in Turkey?
A typical all-inclusive package covers the surgical procedure, hospital or clinic stay, accommodation, airport and appointment transfers, translator services, and post-operative follow-up — giving patients one transparent price with no hidden costs.
