Contact & Consultation FAQs
Is the virtual consultation truly complimentary?
Yes. Your initial consultation with our dedicated Patient Liaisons and the assessment by our consultant-led surgical team is 100% complimentary, completely discreet, and carries no obligation. We provide this service to ensure you fully understand your bespoke treatment options before making any decisions.
How quickly will I get a response after submitting the form?
Our dedicated international patient team is committed to providing prompt and discreet service. Whilst we are located in the EET time zone (Istanbul), we monitor enquiries 24/7. You can typically expect a personal response within 12 to 24 hours, or often much sooner via WhatsApp.
Who will be reviewing my photographs and creating my quote?
Your photographs and aesthetic aims are reviewed directly by our specialist surgeons, including our founder Dr Akif Mehmetoğlu. This is not a quote generated by a sales representative; it is a genuine clinical assessment used to create your bespoke treatment plan.
Is my personal and medical information secure?
Absolutely. We treat patient confidentiality and absolute discretion as our highest priorities. Our website utilises secure (HTTPS) protocols, and all your data and photographs are stored in strict compliance with international privacy and GDPR standards. Your information is never shared with third parties.
What kind of photographs should I send for an accurate assessment?
For the most precise clinical assessment (e.g., for a Rhinoplasty or Deep Plane Facelift), we recommend clear, well-lit photographs of the target area. Please include one from the front, one from the left profile, and one from the right profile. Rest assured, all photographs are kept strictly confidential.
What is included in the "all-inclusive" price quote?
Your personalised quote will clearly itemise every detail. Typically, our comprehensive packages include the surgeon’s fee, all hospital and anaesthetic costs, 5-star accommodation, private chauffeur-driven airport and clinic transfers, and the continuous support of your dedicated Patient Liaison.
Why is cosmetic surgery in Turkey more affordable than in the UK private sector?
This is a very common and important question. The price difference is certainly not due to lower quality surgeons, materials, or facilities. The primary reasons are purely economic:
- The highly favourable GBP (£) to TRY exchange rate significantly increases your purchasing power.
- Considerably lower operational costs (such as private clinic rent, staff salaries, and insurance) compared to the UK.
The AKM practice uses the exact same FDA and CE-approved materials and operates within JCI-accredited, state-of-the-art hospitals that meet or exceed Harley Street standards.
Are your surgeons' qualifications comparable to UK GMC Specialist Registered Consultants?
Yes, absolutely. Turkey possesses a highly rigorous medical education and specialisation system. Our top surgeons are not only nationally certified but also hold prestigious European Board Certifications (such as EBOPRAS and EAFPS) and are members of elite international societies like ISAPS. This level of expertise is the direct equivalent of a UK Consultant on the GMC Specialist Register. Dr Akif Mehmetoğlu and Dr Göknil personally oversee every surgical plan, bringing years of dedicated specialist experience.
Will the surgeon I consult with be the one who actually performs my surgery?
Yes, without question. At the AKM practice, this is a non-negotiable principle. The consultant surgeon who reviews your photographs, creates your bespoke medical plan, and conducts your comprehensive in-person consultation is the exact same surgeon who will perform your procedure from start to finish. We are not a commercial “factory” clinic; we provide a highly dedicated, one-to-one, consultant-led experience.
How is aftercare managed, especially once I return to the UK?
Your safety and long-term results are our paramount priority. Firstly, before you fly home, you will have multiple thorough post-operative reviews with your surgeon. Secondly, after you return to the UK, your dedicated Patient Liaison remains your 24/7 point of contact via WhatsApp and email for a full year. We schedule regular virtual follow-up appointments with your surgeon. In the highly unlikely event of a complication, we provide full medical guidance, can coordinate with your local NHS GP or private specialist if necessary, and maintain clear, transparent policies for any required revision procedures.
How do I know the patient reviews and photographs I see are real?
We actively encourage you to read our reviews on independent, third-party platforms such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews. Furthermore, during your confidential virtual consultation, we can share (with explicit patient consent) a more extensive portfolio of before-and-after photographs relevant to your specific aesthetic aims and body type. Many of these results cannot be posted publicly due to our strict adherence to patient discretion.
