Turkey is among the top ten countries in terms of the number of plastic surgeries performed annually. The country ranks third in the world (after Thailand and Mexico) in terms of the number of foreigners who come to Turkish medical centers for these surgical interventions (data from the International Sociaety of Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery). The reasons for the great popularity of Turkey among people who want to make high-quality plastic surgery at an affordable price are as follows:

• a large selection of qualified and experienced surgeons with high rates of patient satisfaction with the results of interventions;
• the optimal ratio of cost/quality of operations;
• use of the latest technologies, safe surgical techniques, and high-quality materials for procedures;
• a large selection of comfortable clinics with modern equipment and excellent service;
• a well-thought-out system for receiving foreigners: all-inclusive packages, medical hotels, coordinators, translators;
• the ability to combine many operations with recreation and tourism program.

All this attracts patients from Europe, the USA, and the CIS countries to Turkish centers of aesthetic medicine.
