Consultation guide
The short answer
To book a consultation with Dr. Gürsel Turgut in Istanbul, send a consultation request naming Dr. Turgut, with the procedure you are considering, your medical details and clear photographs. We reply with options. Agree the date, place and any fee in writing, and plan for an in-person examination at Liv Hospital Ulus İstanbul before you agree to surgery.
Request a consultationIf you are considering treatment with Dr. Gürsel Turgut, a plastic surgeon based in Istanbul, Türkiye, who practises at Liv Hospital Ulus İstanbul and Estetik International Istanbul, the first step is a consultation. Below you will find how to request one, how the appointment works, what to bring and the questions worth asking Dr. Turgut in person.
The procedures listed for Dr. Turgut include Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty, VASER Liposuction, Botulinum Toxin (Anti-Wrinkle Injections), Facelift and Liposuction, among 7 in total. Each is described further down with typical operating time, hospital stay and recovery, so you can plan your trip around the consultation.
Going to a consultation does not commit you to surgery. It is where a surgeon examines you, tells you honestly whether the treatment suits you, and explains the alternatives, the risks and what recovery involves.
Write down the procedure or concern you want to raise (for example, rhinoplasty), what you hope to change and roughly when you could travel to Istanbul. A clear goal makes the consultation far more useful.
Use the consultation request form and mention Dr. Gürsel Turgut in your message. Give the procedure, your preferred city and your timeframe. It takes a few minutes and does not commit you to anything.
The form has space for your age, height and weight, the medications you take, medical conditions and any previous surgery. Have clear, well-lit photographs of the area ready too — surgeons use them to judge whether a treatment is realistic before you travel.
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.
Before you book flights, ask whether Dr. Turgut can review your photographs and medical history in advance, and in which language the consultation will be held. Confirm the date, the address and any consultation fee in writing.
Dr. Turgut examines you at Liv Hospital Ulus İstanbul, confirms whether the procedure suits you and explains the risks, the recovery and the full cost. Take time to think it over before you agree to surgery or pay a deposit.
Ready to take the first step?
Request a consultationThese procedures are listed for Dr. Gürsel Turgut. The figures come from our own procedure guides and are typical ranges, not Dr. Turgut's personal figures — your surgeon will give you a plan of your own.
At your consultation, ask Dr. Turgut which technique they would recommend for you and why, how often they perform the operation, and what a realistic result looks like for someone with your anatomy.
Dr. Gürsel Turgut is listed at 2 facilities in and around Istanbul. Consultations can take place in a surgeon's consulting room or in a hospital; operations are carried out in a hospital.
Before you travel, confirm in writing where your consultation will be held and in which hospital any operation would take place. If the two are different, ask how far apart they are and who arranges your transfers between them.
The more a surgeon knows before you meet, the more useful the consultation. Gather these before your appointment:
Be open about smoking, weight changes and any medication, even if it seems unrelated. These affect healing and anaesthesia, and a surgeon can only plan safely with the full picture.
Ask for the answers in writing. A clear written plan protects you and makes it much easier to compare Dr. Turgut with other surgeons you are considering.
Dr. Gürsel Turgut appears in the member register of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TPRECD). Dr. Turgut's record has also been checked against Gürsel Turgut — own website.
It is worth checking any surgeon yourself before you pay a deposit. The Turkish plastic surgery society publishes a member search, and the Ministry of Health publishes the list of facilities authorised to treat international patients. The UK and Turkish plastic surgery societies also publish joint guidance for patients travelling for surgery.
Consultation fees, treatment prices and deposit terms are set by each practice. Before your appointment, ask Dr. Turgut's practice 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.
Istanbul is served by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW). Some hospitals and clinics arrange airport transfers for international patients; ask whether this is included. Metro, tram and taxis are also available.
Recommended time in Türkiye, from our procedure guides — rhinoplasty: 7–10 days; blepharoplasty: 5–7 days; vASER Liposuction: 5–7 days. Your surgeon will confirm the right length of stay for you.
Flexible tickets are worth the extra cost. Arrive a day before your consultation, and wait for your surgeon's clearance before fixing the date of your flight home.
Stay close to Liv Hospital Ulus İstanbul, keep your passport and medical documents together, and share your itinerary and the address where you will be treated with someone at home.
Make sure you understand everything said about risks, recovery and consent. If the consultation is not in a language you speak fluently, ask for a professional medical interpreter rather than relying on a friend or a translation app, and ask for the treatment plan and consent form in writing.
Send a consultation request naming Dr. Gürsel Turgut and the treatment you are considering, such as rhinoplasty, with your travel dates, medical history and clear photographs. We reply with options: a request is not a booking, nobody here diagnoses you, and you are under no obligation to go ahead. Agree the date, the address and any consultation fee in writing, and plan for an in-person examination before you agree to surgery. Request a consultation with Dr. Turgut.
Dr. Gürsel Turgut is listed at Liv Hospital Ulus İstanbul and Estetik International Istanbul in Istanbul. Many surgeons consult in one place and operate in another, so confirm in writing where your consultation will be, where any operation would be performed, and that the facility is authorised for it. Check that facility's own profile before you travel.
Dr. Gürsel Turgut is listed as a plastic surgeon. In Türkiye the specialist title is Plastik, Rekonstrüktif ve Estetik Cerrahi, awarded after specialist training, so ask to see the specialist certificate (uzmanlık belgesi). Dr. Turgut appears in the member register of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (TPRECD), which you can search yourself. Details on this profile were checked against Gürsel Turgut — own website. Qualifications are a starting point: ask too about experience with your procedure and where it would be performed. How we check surgeon records.
The procedures listed for Dr. Gürsel Turgut include Rhinoplasty, Blepharoplasty, VASER Liposuction, Botulinum Toxin (Anti-Wrinkle Injections), Facelift and Liposuction, among 7 in total. A listing does not show how often a procedure is performed. Ask how many times a year Dr. Turgut performs yours, how often patients need revision surgery, and whether any part of the operation is carried out by another doctor. Compare surgeons side by side.
Ask Dr. Turgut's practice for further examples of patients whose anatomy, age and goals are similar to yours, for example after rhinoplasty, photographed from the same angles and in the same light before and after. Photographs show what has been achieved for other people; they cannot predict or promise your result, which depends on your anatomy, your healing and the plan agreed at consultation.
You can send photographs and your medical history with a consultation request, which lets the practice give an initial view and plan your visit. Whether Dr. Turgut offers a video consultation is for the practice to confirm. A remote review helps with planning, but surgery should only be agreed after Dr. Turgut has examined you in person. Ask which languages Dr. Turgut consults in, and whether an interpreter can join.
For rhinoplasty, ask whether your breathing will be assessed, whether an open or closed technique is planned and why, and how your skin thickness may affect the result. Also ask whether Dr. Turgut will personally perform the whole operation, who gives the anaesthetic, what the price includes and excludes, and what happens — and who pays — if a revision or complication occurs. Write your questions down beforehand and ask for the key answers in writing. Use our questions-before-paying worksheet.
Recommended time in Türkiye, from our rhinoplasty guide: 7–10 days. Hospital stay: 1 night. Dr. Turgut will confirm what is right for you after examining you. Your stay should cover the post-operative checks, any stitch or drain removal and a final review before you fly, and it is usually longer after combined operations. Flying after surgery.
Before you travel, agree with Dr. Turgut's practice how follow-up works once you are home: who reviews your recovery, whether photographs or video calls are used, and who to contact out of hours. Take your operation notes, medication list and any implant details with you, and register with a local doctor who can examine you. Seek urgent local care for heavy bleeding, fever, chest pain, breathlessness or a swollen calf, and ask in writing what is covered if revision surgery is needed. Warning signs after cosmetic surgery.
Consultation fees and treatment prices are set by Dr. Turgut's practice, so ask before booking whether there is a consultation fee and what it covers. Any quote should be written and itemised: the surgeon's fee, hospital and anaesthesia, nights in hospital, garments, medication and follow-up visits. Treat a price given before an examination as provisional, and keep deposits refundable where you can. Typical price ranges by procedure.
