The Rise of Medical Tourism for Cosmetic Procedures

A growing trend has emerged in which individuals are traveling to Turkey for cosmetic surgery, largely driven by significantly lower costs compared to the UK. This phenomenon has led to an influx of patients searching for procedures from weight loss surgeries to popular cosmetic enhancements, such as Brazilian butt lifts and breast augmentations. There is concern, however, as the quality of care may vary greatly, with many patients receiving inadequate medical assessments prior to their procedures. The appeal of cheaper surgeries is tempered by the reality of potential health risks and complications that patients may face after their procedures.
