    Why New York Patients Choose Prof. Dr. Karaaltın

    Discover why thousands of international patients trust their transformation to Istanbul's leading plastic surgeon.

    A Clear Alternative to Park Avenue and Upper East Side practices

    All-inclusive packages cover surgery, anaesthesia, JCI hospital stay, VIP transfers and aftercare. You know the total before you book — no facility fees, co-pays or out-of-network surprises.

    FDA-Approved Implants & Devices

    The same implant and device brands used in leading US hospitals (Mentor, Allergan, Motiva), placed in JCI-accredited operating rooms with internationally certified anaesthesia teams.

    9.5 hours non-stop from New York

    Turkish Airlines flies non-stop from JFK and Newark several times daily, so most New York patients fly overnight and start consultations the next morning.

    No Waiting, No Insurance Maze

    Video consultation within days and surgery scheduled within weeks. Cosmetic surgery is self-pay in the US anyway — here the price is fixed and fully itemised.

    Professor-Level Expertise

    Prof. Dr. Karaaltın holds a full academic professorship plus board certification in Plastic, Hand and Maxillofacial Surgery, and is an EBOPRAS Fellow — a combination few surgeons anywhere hold.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does plastic surgery in Istanbul cost compared with New York?+
    New York patients typically pay a fraction of local self-pay prices. Indicative all-inclusive figures: rhinoplasty from $3,500, breast augmentation from $4,500, BBL from $5,500, facelift from $7,000, mommy makeover from $9,500 — each covering surgery, anaesthesia, hospital stay, transfers and aftercare, compared with Park Avenue and Upper East Side practices where surgeon, anaesthesia and facility fees are billed separately.
    Is surgery in Istanbul safe for New York patients?+
    Prof. Dr. Karaaltın operates exclusively in JCI-accredited hospitals — the same international accreditation body that certifies leading US hospitals. He is triple board-certified and an EBOPRAS Fellow, and all implants and devices are FDA-approved brands.
    How long should New York patients plan to stay?+
    Five to ten days depending on the procedure: pre-operative consultation and workup, surgery, recovery checks and a final clearance appointment before your return flight from JFK & Newark (EWR).
    Who handles follow-up once I'm home?+
    You receive a full operative report, imaging and an aftercare protocol for your New York physician, plus scheduled video follow-ups in your time zone and 24/7 WhatsApp access to the clinical team.
    Can I combine procedures in one trip?+
    Frequently, yes. Safe combinations — mommy makeover, rhinoplasty with chin refinement, facelift with eyelid surgery — are planned during consultation based on operating time, blood loss and your medical history.
    Do you offer a consultation before I fly from New York?+
    Yes. A free video consultation with photo analysis takes place before you commit to any travel, and you receive a written surgical plan and fixed quote afterwards.
