Checking a surgeon in Turkey

Plastic surgeons in Turkey hold a national specialist title; some also hold the European board qualification (EBOPRAS / FEBOPRAS) and belong to the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Since 2023, Turkish rules require hair transplants to be performed in licensed facilities under a doctor's responsibility. Ask in writing who will operate, and for before-and-after photos of patients like you.

Getting there and how long to stay

U.S. passport holders can visit Turkey without a visa for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Istanbul has nonstop flights from many major U.S. hubs, about 10 hours from the East Coast. Plan on 3 to 5 days for a hair transplant and 7 to 14 days for plastic surgery. The State Department rates Türkiye Level 2, “Exercise Increased Caution”.

Whatever the destination, the CDC recommends seeing a travel-medicine provider before you go, bringing copies of your medical records, arranging follow-up care at home before surgery, and waiting 10 to 14 days before flying after major surgery. Complications treated after you return may not be covered by U.S. insurance.
