You can secure your spot one year in advance, and by doing this, you won’t be affected by any possible price change.

What happens if I need to change my surgery date?
As Klinik Europe, we are aware that all of our patients try hard to create free time for themselves, and know they are all busy with their family life, work life, and personal life. So we know what it means to them. Therefore, we provide the opportunity to reschedule their surgery date within one year.
SURGERY/RECOVER
How long do I need to stay in Antalya? / How long do I need for recovery?
Depending on the bespoke treatment plan, on average, Klinik Europe patients need to stay in Antalya for 5, 6, or 7 days. We believe that aftercare is as important as conducting the procedure successfully. So, we offer around-the-clock aftercare service with our experienced nurses. With the help of our fantastic aftercare service, our patients can go back to their daily lives after 2 weeks.
Is it manageable if I come on my own?
Some of our patients prefer to come by themselves, and with the help of our experienced team in Antalya, they do not feel alone for a second! We are always one call away from you. Klinik Europe provides a night nurse to their patients for the first one or two nights (depending on the procedure you will be having). After your discharge, you will have your own private nurse who will visit you twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. She will be checking on your medical condition. You will also have a dedicated host for your daily needs. She will be one call away..
If I want to have a lot of procedures at the same time (Let’s say a tummy tuck, a thigh lift, an arm lift with breast augmentation) is it possible?
Klinik Europe’s medical team considers every little detail while preparing treatment plans for their patients. While deciding if one is suitable for a procedure, or multiple procedures, we need to check the patient’s age, medical history, if they smoke or not, etc. Then we can decide if he/she is suitable for the procedures he/she wants to combine.
Will I be able to have a consultation with my surgeon?
Our surgeons meet with their patients in the morning of the surgery day and conduct a face-to-face consultation and physical examination. Our patients have the chance to ask their questions directly to their surgeon and discuss their expectations with their surgeon. Klinik Europe’s host is always with them during their consultation, with the needed documents and notes about their case.
What insurance do I have if something goes wrong?
As Klinik Europe, we guarantee 100% patient satisfaction. We work with well-respected and very experienced surgeons with extremely low revision rates, around 1.5%. But in the unlikely case of something going wrong, Klinik Europe fully covers your medical expenses such as:

How will my scars / incisions look like?
For each procedure, the incisions and the scarring are different. Thankfully, with the help of the techniques and the new technologies, scars become almost invisible after a couple of weeks. We will be providing a scar treatment kit, which you will perfectly benefit from if you apply it properly.
Do you provide the needed medication/pain killers?
We provide the needed pain management, including mild pain relievers and strong opioids depending on what is needed. We sometimes work with people who are in chronic pain and use strong pain killers, such as Tramadol, daily. So all of our patients’ post-op pain will be well managed. They are in safe hands.
Will I be able to get back to work / my daily routine in a short period of time?
Klinik Europe guarantees the best results and makes sure no one is a victim of medical negligence in Turkey so that they can finally enjoy the results they have been striving for for years.

Will I be able to fly for long hours? i.e from Turkey to USA?
We welcome hundreds of patients from overseas every year. Our professional team does not leave anything to chance, and we make sure that our patient is “fit to fly” before their departure date. We conduct a physical examination before the departure day, and we provide the necessary documents for them.
Does your hospital have an intensive care unit and emergency team, and do you have all types of blood available should a transfusion be needed?
You will have your private room to yourself where you will have a safe place for your belongings and an active nurse button. Some of the buttons don’t work with some hospitals but our hospital is top notch and leaves nothing to chance. In our surgery group, you can see patients who had to have blood transfusions, extra medications, extra nights of hospital stays etc., and none of them had to pay any extra fees related to their medical treatment, since our package covers every medical emergency.
Do your surgeons speak English?
All of our surgeons can speak English, but we also provide an English speaking host to our patients, in order to prevent any potential language barriers.
How long do I need to wait to return for other procedures?
