    "The K-Face Lift is exactly what I wanted — subtle, natural, undetectable. Prof. Karaaltın understood my aesthetic perfectly, and the savings against Geneva were remarkable."

    Laura M.

    Geneva, SwitzerlandK-Face Lift

    "Quoted an eye-watering figure at home in Geneva. Istanbul was a third of it, in a hospital that felt every bit as modern. Back at work within two weeks."

    Andreas W.

    Geneva, SwitzerlandGynecomastia

    "I compared clinics across Switzerland and abroad for months. The EBOPRAS Fellowship and the K-Glide technique decided it — the result is completely natural."

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does a deep plane facelift cost for Geneva patients?+
    A deep plane facelift in Geneva is priced at the top of Swiss private aesthetic surgery, and hospital, anaesthetist and follow-up fees are usually added to the surgeon's fee. Prof. Dr. Karaaltın quotes one all-inclusive figure covering the JCI-accredited hospital, anaesthesia, transfers and aftercare, typically 60–75% below Geneva private clinic and Clinique Générale-Beaulieu pricing. The full breakdown, technique and recovery timeline are in the deep plane facelift guide at /deep-plane-facelift-uk.
    Which facelift technique is used — deep plane, SMAS or endoscopic?+
    A true deep plane lift releases the retaining ligaments and repositions cheek, jawline and neck as one unit, so the skin is redraped rather than pulled. Where the upper and midface dominate, the K Endoscopic Deep Plane variant achieves the same release through short concealed incisions. Which one suits you is decided at your online consultation, and both are explained in the deep plane facelift guide.
    How much can Geneva patients save on plastic surgery in Istanbul?+
    Swiss patients typically save 60–75% against Geneva private clinic and Clinique Générale-Beaulieu pricing. A rhinoplasty quoted at CHF 12'000–18'000 in Switzerland is delivered here in an all-inclusive package covering surgery, JCI hospital, hotel and transfers for a fraction of that. Written quotes are provided before you travel.
    Do you treat lipoedema for patients from Geneva?+
    Yes. Lymph-sparing liposuction for lipoedema is planned stage by stage, following the evidence from the Lancet LIPLEG randomised trial. Bring any diagnosis or compression-therapy records from your Geneva doctor to the online consultation and you will receive a written staged plan and cost before travelling.
    Is the quality comparable to clinics in Geneva?+
    Prof. Dr. Karaaltın is an EBOPRAS Fellow — the same European certification standard recognised in Switzerland — and operates only in JCI-accredited hospitals whose safety and hygiene protocols meet or exceed Swiss requirements.
    Do you speak French?+
    Yes. Patient coordinators handle consultations, pre-operative planning and aftercare instructions in French and English, so nothing is lost in translation.
    How do I get from Geneva to Istanbul?+
    3 hours direct from Geneva Airport (GVA). Direct daily flights from Geneva with SWISS, Turkish Airlines and easyJet make a one-week surgical stay straightforward. A private transfer meets you on arrival at Istanbul Airport.
    How long do Geneva patients stay in Istanbul?+
    5–7 days for facelift, rhinoplasty, BBL, tummy tuck and breast surgery; 3–4 days for smaller procedures. Your itinerary is planned around your return flight.
    How is aftercare arranged with my Swiss doctor?+
    You receive complete surgical documentation and post-operative instructions for your Geneva physician, plus scheduled Swiss-time video follow-ups and 24/7 WhatsApp access to the surgical team.
    Can Swiss supplementary insurance cover any of this?+
    Some Zusatzversicherung policies contribute to medically necessary procedures performed abroad, such as breast reduction or reconstruction. Full documentation is provided for your claim; purely aesthetic surgery is not usually covered.
