Arm Lift IstanbulDr. Ayhan Işık Erdal
Medical Travel

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.
