What Many People Get Wrong About Surgery Abroad
Considering a mummy makeover in Turkey but not sure who to trust?
You’re not alone. Many women search online and find a mix of stories, some inspiring, others worrying.
The truth is that Turkey can offer world-class cosmetic surgery, but only when patients choose a clinic that meets international medical standards.
At Clinic Phaselis in Antalya, we’ve helped thousands of UK women overcome those same doubts and make confident, informed decisions. Below, we break down the five most common myths about having surgery in Turkey and share the real information that helps women make safe, confident decisions
Myth 1: “Surgery in Turkey isn’t safe.”
Safety depends on standards, not location. At Clinic Phaselis, all procedures are performed in accredited hospitals that comply with international hygiene and safety protocols. Every operation is led by board-certified plastic surgeons with over a decade of experience, supported by anaesthesiologists and English-speaking nurses. We also include surgery-related insurance in every package , a key reassurance for international patients.
Myth 2: “Lower cost means lower quality.”
Prices in Turkey are lower because operating costs are lower, not because standards are compromised. At Clinic Phaselis, we use European-approved implants and materials, the same technology used in leading UK hospitals. Our all-inclusive packages cover consultations, surgery, medication, hospital stay, hotel recovery and transfers with no hidden fees.
Myth 3: “Results in Turkey look fake or overdone.”
A successful mummy makeover should look natural, balanced and personal, never artificial. At Clinic Phaselis, your surgeon designs your procedure after a detailed consultation that includes medical photography, body proportion analysis and your personal goals. Each combination of tummy tuck, breast surgery and liposuction is tailored to achieve realistic contours.
Myth 4: “Communication abroad is difficult and after-care ends when I go home.”
At Clinic Phaselis, communication is seamless from day one. You have English-speaking coordinators available 24/7, a dedicated UK contact line (+44 330 777 2205), and scheduled online check-ups after you return home. Recovery includes 2 nights in hospital under supervision and 5 nights in our recovery hotel with daily doctor visits and nurse support.
Myth 5: “All clinics in Turkey are the same, just choose the cheapest.”
This is one of the most dangerous misconceptions. Clinics differ greatly in qualification and care standards. Clinic Phaselis stands apart because we combine medical excellence with transparency: operations only in licensed hospitals, individual surgeon assignment before booking, insurance cover automatically included, and personal patient coordinators for UK clients.
