The dark side of Turkey's beauty industry | DW Documentary

[@cikcikayse125]

Turkey is not cheap anymore. If you found cheap surgery in Turkey ,then this means that the clinic doesn’t have the skills to take care of the patients

[@roojistanr5015]

You’re right it’s not cheap anymore

[@philippebarillecavalier9275]

Healthcare remains a fraction of the cost compared to private care in US or Canada. But for other things, indeed no longer cheap. Housing is more expensive than in most American cities (you need to stay somewhere while you go there). Some things are incomprehensibly expensive now, check the price of beef.

I am so sorry for the loss. I am a dentist in Istanbul, and we treat patients from abroad. Sometimes the patient comes with an offer from another clinic, and when I see the costs, I can not believe my eyes. There is no ultra-cheap treatment unless the "clinic" sacrifices something. I have seen a lot of fake reviews of junior dentists trying to make complicated treatments. Please, please, please, cheap treatment doesn't exist.

Ok, I pay 1/3 of price of UCLA in Istanbul but there is a huge unacceptable Turkish manner in our every day lives that can be really awkward for a foreigner and this can not be compensated by the cost of the service. Now I prefer pay x3 times more just to get better, safer, more responsible service…

I am a dermatology doctor from Jordan , I saw cases of poorly conducted hair transplants coming from Turkey , but also I saw magnificent results of complicated cosmetic surgery cases from there as well , Turks are talented and committed doctors , the problem is that it is difficult for non-residents to figure out the few bad doctors especially with language barrier.

What is a good clinic for face surgery?

[@SA-mj3uv]

It's not just Turkey. The billion-dollar industry in Korea has bred "ghost doctors". Often, people would find a celebrity surgeon ( i.e. those who are famous based on their celebrity clientele ). They use this as their advertisement. Clients talk to them and get the consultation from these celebrity doctors..but once they're under anaesthesia and under the knife, it's a different surgeon who performs the surgery ( often a new student, a new graduate or some doctor who is trying to get into the plastic surgery business bc it's a lot of money and just getting additional certification ). Scary stuff. So even though everyone claims that Korea is sooooo "great" and "advanced" in their practises, it's not necessarily as strictly controlled as the US or Canada.

[@telliturna4998]

[@resatbatuhancetiner9324]

As a specialist dentist and practice owner in Turkey, I advise you to contact clinics or hospitals directly if you are considering treatment in Turkey or any other overseas country, and avoid working with agencies. You are not going on a sea trip; this is a health issue, and you should contact the doctor who will be treating you. Please avoid clinics that only treat health tourists and do not accept local patients. Remember, regardless of where you receive treatment, there is always a starting price, especially in the dental field. If you're getting a crown for 50 euros, there is likely a problem. It should be affordable, but not cheap.

I never gained the weight back and am still drug-free 14 years later. I feel so much better than I did 20 years ago. I did this by myself, with focus and discipline.

I heard that people have died in South America as well from cosmetic surgeries. There needs to be greater regulation to ensure that any medical treatment is done by certified doctors and that proper pre- and post- treatment care is given to patients. Doctors and clinics need to be held responsible. It's irresponsible for a clinic to say, "The doctor doesn't work for us. We only rented the operation room." How can a clinic do that? This isn't a conference room they are renting. It's a surgical procedure on which patients' life depends.

She was fat from childhood. Some responsibility goes to the parents for not giving their child proper nutrition or excercise. As a kid I had an accident at the age of 5 I had 37 bone fractures and was ina wheel-cahir for over 6 months. Naturally I started lagging behind in development. My parents encourage me to participate in multiple sports to get even with the other kids. If your kid gets fat is your responsibility as a parent to make changes. That said I am a medical student in Sweden and I despise the plastic surgeon industry. Praying on people's mental weaknesses. But they excist because we in the west have choosen to have a society and culture where it is accepted and prefered. People chase superficial wuick fixes and society rewards them. For me the issue is not these clinics but the culture that shape people who demand them. Very moralising of me.

There are amazing physicians and surgeons with their private practices in Turkey, but I am not sure they are as accessible from abroad. Overseas demand has also led to smaller clinics sprouting like mushrooms. DO NOT be tempted by the price. Overvalued Turkish lira has deteriorated the price advantage of more established hospitals.

I am a doctor and this is a HIGHLY ignorant comment. Stop victim blaming when the blame falls SQUARELY on these unscrupulous criminals. You should not operate on patients in a substandard manner, regardless of whatever they paid. That's just unequivocally wrong.

The patients have no blame to take.

[@glitteryroses]

Especially with patients getting septicemia??? That's a clear indication of a breached sterile field in the OR, which is UNACCEPTABLE regardless of the amount paid. It's literally the most basic surgical skill after scrubbing. The patients have nothing to do with this at all. These are criminal agencies and "doctors" who don't care about any patient's life as long as they milk them out for profit. So of course, they prey on the poor who have little options at their disposal. It's incredibly insensitive to suggest that it's their fault because no-one would willingly put themselves in harm's way.

Nasty. I got in touch with an advertised "#1 Dental Clinic in Europe" (Dentakay) and I sent them high quality scans of my teeth (done by a clinic in the UK). A few minutes later got an email from a "doctor" claiming that I needed 32 crowns to fix my problems. Seemed extremely odd and suspicious. I went to two separate dentists in the UK to get different opinions and both said I didn't need a single crown because my teeth were healthy. At most I needed a filling or two. These people wanted to shave off every single one of my teeth to replace them with synthetic garbage and leave me suffering for life. That was the end of me considering Turkey for anything medical. You are not a patient to them, but a wallet. They don't care for your wellbeing or interests whatsoever.

[@Skdjjddhhd]

As a Turkish, I would never go to that clinic. Recently I saw an awful clinic that I know in an awful neighborhood getting international patients especially from Europe. That’s madness. I asked how do they find those patients and they told me that they’re working with an agency. These weird “#1 clinic”s all have abnormally high rates on the internet and so many reviews. Most people don’t leave positive comments when they are happy with the service. It’s the sad reality. People generally put reviews when they have something to complain. All those suspiciously positive comments are probably fake or at least forcefully taken in return for some discount or something. There are great medical professionals in Istanbul but I believe tourists are not capable to reach out to them. I have a fantastic dentist for example. He’s always my family’s go-to person when we have a dental issue for years and he refuses to apply anything unnecessary of course. He’s also a professor on the most respected university in the field in Turkey and he doesn’t even bother to open up a social media account. I’m sorry for the Europeans have to come to Turkey to get a dental treatment. Plastic surgery is one thing, it generally not something actually necessary. But a good dental treatment should be accessible to everyone all over the world without any expensive fees or crazy long waiting periods. When Turks move abroad they always complain about the medical system first.

Working hard and sweating is always the best option...I have recently lost 25 kg in 8 months with just 30-40 minutes of exercise daily and a proper diet. I can definitely say it is a far better way than surgery. I will suggest to all of you make the right decision. 😃

Maybe you are fully healthy but used to eat a lot of crap in the past. Some people have metabolic issues.

I had a nose surgery in Türkiye. I am Turkish also. If you see fixed price in the advertisement, it means that they are just looking for customers. Doctor could only say the price after seeing your results. Mine was very talented and good doctor. It has been 2 years now and I'm doing well. Do not buy any advertisement things. Real doctors do not need advertisement because everyone knows them.
