Ghost surgery in Turkey<\/strong> is a hidden risk Canadian patients should understand before booking any cosmetic procedure abroad. It happens when the surgeon a patient consulted is not the person who performs all, or part, of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a Turkey-only issue. It can occur in any high-volume surgical setting where marketing, sales teams, and operating-room responsibility are not clearly separated. For Canadians comparing clinics from Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, or Ottawa, the solution is not fear. It is verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a reputable clinic, you should know the name, qualifications, and role of the surgeon before you travel. That transparency should appear in your consultation, your written plan, and your consent documents.<\/p>\n\n\n
