Initial consultations in Turkey typically occur immediately upon arrival, blending medical assessments with surgical planning. Surgeons like Dr Yavuz Özsular perform facial analysis, mark incision sites, and confirm techniques such as endoscopic lifts. Patients should expect pre-operative blood tests, health screenings, and face marking to happen within the same day.
- Technique selection: Surgeons recommend endoscopic or surgical approaches based on brow position and forehead wrinkles.
- Medical screening: Clinical teams run immediate blood tests and health checks to confirm surgical readiness.
- Outcome mapping: Doctors mark patients’ faces to show intended lift heights and check facial symmetry.
- Anaesthesia review: Consultations with anaesthetists confirm whether patients need general anaesthesia or sedation options.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish specialists often perform over 4,000+ procedures, with some like Dr Selcuk Aytac exceeding 20,000 surgeries. This high volume allows them to integrate the consultation and surgery into a 24-hour window safely. Australian patients should focus on this “one-stop” arrival process. They should not expect a separate, lengthy discussion weeks before the procedure.
Patient Consensus: Patients found the immediate marking and testing efficient despite feeling nervous about the quick timeline. Using Google Translate worked well. The dedicated coordinators made the fast-paced medical process feel like an organised five-star hotel experience.
