    Yes. Prof. Dr. Karaaltın operates exclusively in JCI-accredited hospitals that meet or exceed UK CQC standards. He is an EBOPRAS Fellow, triple board-certified, and follows BAPRAS-aligned safety protocols including ultrasound-guided BBL — directly addressing the safety concerns raised by BAAPS regarding cosmetic surgery abroad.

    4 hours direct via direct flights from Bristol Airport (BRS). Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and British Airways operate frequent routes. Mercedes VIP transfer collects you on arrival at Istanbul Airport.
    How long do Bristol patients need to stay in Istanbul?+
