Treatment guides
Start with the treatment, not the sales pitch
Understand the procedure, recovery and questions to ask before comparing clinics abroad.
Hair transplant
Turkey has a large hair-transplant market, with substantial variation in who performs the procedure and what aftercare includes. This guide shows what to compare before booking.
Dental implants
Implant treatment in Turkey can cost a third of UK private prices. The catch most marketing skips: done properly, it is usually two trips months apart — not one week of 'holiday dentistry'.
Cosmetic surgery
Turkey is the most popular destination for UK patients having cosmetic surgery abroad. It is also where research discipline matters most — this is real surgery, with real recovery, a long way from home.
IVF & fertility
UK patients travel for IVF for shorter waits, lower costs and different donor rules. The trade-offs are regulatory as much as financial — and success-rate marketing needs careful reading.
Gastric sleeve
Bariatric surgery is the most medically consequential procedure people travel for. The price gap is real; so is the need for proper screening, a real hospital, and aftercare measured in years.
Elective & orthopaedic
Long NHS waits have pushed planned operations — hips and knees above all — onto the medical travel map. Rehabilitation planning matters as much as the surgery itself.
Veneers
The single most important question about veneers abroad isn't the price — it's whether you're actually being sold veneers. Much of what's marketed as a 'veneer package' is full crowns, which means far more healthy tooth ground away, irreversibly.
