Why have your arm lift in Istanbul?
Istanbul pairs internationally trained, board-certified surgeons and accredited hospitals with costs well below Western Europe and North America — which is why it has become a leading destination for body-contouring surgery.
Board-certified surgeon
Double board certification (FACS, FEBOPRAS) and an academic appointment — credentials that match or exceed those at home.
Accredited hospitals
Procedures in fully accredited facilities with qualified anaesthetic teams and modern theatres.
English-speaking care
Every step — consultation, surgery, recovery and follow-up — handled in clear English with one point of contact.
Surgeon-led, not agency-led
You're cared for directly by your surgeon, never routed through an anonymous call centre.
Built for travellers
Efficient scheduling, help with logistics, and a stay shaped around a safe, comfortable recovery.
Real value
Significant savings versus the UK, US and EU — with no compromise on who operates or where.
What makes our care different
Many medical-tourism operations are run by agencies that assign you to whichever surgeon is available. With Dr. Erdal, the surgeon is the practice. You communicate with a double board-certified plastic surgeon and associate professor from your first message, you meet him in person before surgery, and he performs your operation himself. There is no anonymous middleman making medical decisions on your behalf.
Accredited, safe facilities
Surgery is carried out in fully accredited hospitals with modern operating theatres and qualified anaesthetic teams. Istanbul's leading aesthetic hospitals routinely care for international patients and meet international safety standards. Your specific hospital is confirmed as part of your plan.
Official health-tourism authorization
Dr. Erdal holds the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health International Health Tourism Authorization — official certification to treat patients from abroad.
