Planning cosmetic surgery abroad? These are the dangers you need to know

Experts warn against the trend of cosmetic surgery abroad, especially in Turkey, due to risks including infections, deformities, and even death, along with difficulty in receiving compensation in cases of medical malpractice.

Experts are warning against the trend of cosmetic surgery abroad, particularly in Turkey. Cheap packages can lead to severe complications, including infections, deformities, and even death. In cases of medical malpractice, obtaining compensation is nearly impossible, and the damage can be irreversible. The risks begin with the flight itself, which increases the chance of blood clots, and continue with the lack of personal medical follow-up after surgery. The low prices reflect a gap in standards and patient safety. The article presents two case examples: a woman who developed neck infections after a facelift, and a patient who suffered wound dehiscence after a tummy tuck. The article emphasizes the importance of choosing an accredited medical institution and verifying the surgeon's credentials.
