1. 1

   Step 1: Decide what you need

   Note the treatment you are considering, any surgeon you would like to see (for example, Umut Sinan Ersoy) and when you could travel to Istanbul.

2. 2

   Step 2: Send a consultation request

   Use the consultation request form and name Acıbadem Atakent Hastanesi in your message, with the procedure and your timeframe. It takes a few minutes and does not commit you to anything.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Step 6: Attend your consultation in person

   The surgeon examines you at Acıbadem Atakent Hastanesi, confirms whether the treatment suits you and explains the risks, recovery and full cost. Take time to decide before paying a deposit.

• Recent photographs of the area, taken in good light from the front and both sides

Bring your passport or identity card as well. Be open about smoking, weight changes and every medication — they affect healing and anaesthesia.

• Which surgeon will see me, and will the same surgeon perform the operation?
• Will my operation take place in this building?
• Is there a consultation fee, and what does it cover?

• How long should I stay in Istanbul after treatment before flying home?

Ask for the answers in writing, so you can compare Acıbadem Atakent Hastanesi with other hospitals and clinics on equal terms.

Consultation fees, treatment prices and deposit terms are set by each practice. Before your appointment, ask Acıbadem Atakent Hastanesi 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.
