How appointments work at Vitrin Clinic
As a private clinic, Vitrin Clinic takes bookings directly rather than through the public appointment system. For patients travelling from abroad, ask whether an international patient coordinator will handle your consultation, interpreter, transfers and accommodation — and which of those are included.
Step 1: Decide what you need
Note the treatment you are considering, any surgeon you would like to see and when you could travel to Istanbul.
Step 2: Send a consultation request
Use the consultation request form and name Vitrin Clinic in your message, with the procedure and your timeframe. It takes a few minutes and does not commit you to anything.
Step 3: Add your medical details
Include your age, height and weight, medications, medical conditions and any previous surgery, and have clear photographs of the area ready.
Step 4: We come back with options
We check your request against the profiles we hold and the other providers that match what you are looking for, then reply with options. We are not a clinical service: nothing we send is a diagnosis or a treatment plan, and a request is not a booking.
Step 5: Confirm everything in writing
Agree the date, the surgeon who will see you, the address, any consultation fee and — if you go ahead — an itemised quote, all in writing.
Step 6: Attend your consultation in person
The surgeon examines you at Vitrin Clinic, confirms whether the treatment suits you and explains the risks, recovery and full cost. Take time to decide before paying a deposit.

Consultation fees, quotes and deposits
Consultation fees, treatment prices and deposit terms are set by each practice. Before your appointment, ask Vitrin Clinic whether there is a consultation fee and what it covers.
A reliable quote is written and itemised: the surgeon's fee, hospital and anaesthesia costs, nights in hospital, compression garments, medication, follow-up visits and transfers. Ask what is not included as well as what is.
Treat any price given before an examination as provisional. The final plan, and the final price, depend on what the surgeon finds when they examine you. The UK's NHS advises against paying for treatment at a hospital you have never seen, so keep deposits refundable where you can.

Is Vitrin Clinic accredited, and is it authorised to treat international patients?
Accreditation such as Joint Commission International (JCI) is voluntary, so ask Vitrin Clinic which accreditations and licences it holds and check each one with the body that issued it.

Which plastic surgeons practise at Vitrin Clinic, and how do I check them?
Ask Vitrin Clinic for the name of the surgeon who would treat you before you travel, and confirm in writing that the same person will carry out your treatment. Check the surgeon's specialist training, experience with your procedure and membership of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TPRECD), which publishes a member search.
Which treatments are available at Vitrin Clinic?
Ask Vitrin Clinic whether it offers the treatment you are considering. A listing does not show how often a treatment is performed there, so ask how many similar cases the team treats and who would carry out yours.
What should I ask Vitrin Clinic about anaesthesia and emergency care?
Ask who gives the anaesthetic — a specialist anaesthetist (anesteziyoloji uzmanı) should be responsible — how you are monitored after surgery and overnight, how a patient would be transferred to a hospital in an emergency, and which hospital that would be, and what happens if a complication needs another specialist. Ask too how long your operation will take and whether it is combined with other procedures, as longer operations carry more risk. Warning signs when choosing a clinic.

A reliable quote is written and itemised: the surgeon's fee, the facility, anaesthesia, nights in hospital, tests, implants or materials, garments, medication, follow-up visits and any transfers or accommodation. Ask what is excluded, what happens financially if a complication or revision is needed, and the refund terms for any deposit. Questions to ask before paying.
What aftercare does Vitrin Clinic provide after I return home?
Ask Vitrin Clinic before you book how aftercare works once you leave: who reviews your recovery, whether photographs or video check-ins are used, how long follow-up lasts, and who to contact out of hours.
