Scandinavia to Istanbul logistics
- Flight time: ~4 hours from Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki
- 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 often priced 50–80% higher than UK pricing for the same procedure, so the cost differential to Istanbul is correspondingly large. As anywhere, the standard of care depends on the individual surgeon and facility — board certification (FACS, FEBOPRAS) and the USHAŞ authorisation are worth verifying before booking.
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.
