Scandinavia to Istanbul logistics

- Time zone: Istanbul 1–2 hours ahead depending on country and season
- Visa: not required for Scandinavian passports under 90 days
Why Scandinavian patients particularly choose Istanbul
Scandinavian private cosmetic surgery is among the highest-priced in Europe — often 50–80% higher than UK pricing for the same procedure. The cost differential to Istanbul is correspondingly large, while the medical standard of the surgeons we operate at is no lower than Scandinavian board-certified colleagues.
Frequently asked questions
How long should I plan to stay in Istanbul?
Minimum 7 nights for single-area surgery; 10 nights more comfortable; 10–14 nights for quad or combined procedures.
Can I have follow-up at home after returning?
Yes — WhatsApp and video follow-up at week 2, week 4, month 3, and month 6. For complications requiring in-person assessment we can coordinate with a local plastic surgeon.
