Indicative all-inclusive prices: rhinoplasty from £2,800 (UK £6,000–£8,000), breast augmentation from £3,500 (UK £6,500–£9,000), facelift from £5,500 (UK £12,000–£18,000), BBL from £4,500 (UK £8,000–£12,000).
    Is plastic surgery in Istanbul safe for Glasgow patients?+
    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.
    How do I get from Glasgow to Istanbul?+
    4.5 hours direct via direct flights from Glasgow Airport (GLA) & Glasgow Prestwick (PIK). Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and British Airways operate frequent routes. Mercedes VIP transfer collects you on arrival at Istanbul Airport.
    How long do Glasgow patients need to stay in Istanbul?+
    5–7 days for major procedures (rhinoplasty, facelift, BBL, tummy tuck, breast surgery). 3–4 days for minor procedures. Itineraries are planned around your return flight to Glasgow Airport (GLA) & Glasgow Prestwick (PIK).
    Can my Glasgow GP follow up after surgery?+

    Why choose Istanbul over a private clinic in Glasgow?+
