    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.

    3.5 hours direct via direct flights from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted & Luton. Turkish Airlines, Pegasus and British Airways operate frequent routes. Mercedes VIP transfer collects you on arrival at Istanbul Airport.
    How long do London 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 Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted & Luton.
