Turkey Poised to Lead in Global Aesthetic Surgery Demand in 2024

Türkiye’s sector of health tourism, especially in aesthetic surgeries, is on the rise, with significant indicators pointing towards continued growth into 2024. Dr. Salih Onur Basat, a notable figure in plastic surgery within the country, underscores the increasing demand for procedures like the Mommy Makeover, Brazilian Butt Lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast aesthetics. This surge aligns with findings from the Tourism Sector Assessment 2023 report by EY, highlighting nearly 750 thousand health service visitors in H1 2023 alone.

Türkiye's emergence as a primary destination for elective surgery is attributed to its advanced medical infrastructure and the professional expertise of its medical personnel. Dr. Basat emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive approach for procedures, especially post-pregnancy body restorations, and the importance of selecting specialized surgeons for achieving the desired outcomes. As Türkiye aims for a US$ 20 billion milestone in health tourism, it continues to attract international patients looking for a blend of quality, affordability, and medical excellence.
