Recently, many people from the USA have gotten their medical aesthetic operations in a country far from the USA: Turkey. In fact, many people prefer Turkey for aesthetic operations, not only from the USA but also from countries such as Canada and England. There are many famous and talented surgeons in Turkey and incredible cities like Antalya and Istanbul. However, inflation is cited as the main reason for the boom in health tourism. In Turkey, rhinoplasty, hair transplantation and many other aesthetic applications are offered as a comprehensive tourism package. Dr. Zeynep Erol is a successful surgeon who has performed excellent surgeries on many foreign patients in her clinic in Adana – a city in the south of Turkey – and she thinks that Turkey has great potential for health tourism. Emphasizing that Turkey has successful and talented doctors, Dr. Zeynep Erol says that she is delighted that the patients’ vacation before and after the surgery creates the chance to discover Turkish culture and its unique beauties. According to Dr. Zeynep Erol, Turkey is very successful in the service and tourism sector as well as in the health sector. Dr. Zeynep Erol states that Turkey is also an advantageous country in terms of transportation and emphasizes that she is not surprised by this demand boom.
Transportation, tourism, economy… So how do people choose talented doctors in Turkey? For example, why do people prefer Dr. Zeynep Erol, one of the most successful rhinoplasty surgeons in the country?
“Providing health services cannot be compared with any other service sector. It should be done with both conscience and professional knowledge and skill. I have studied this for years. After deciding to do rhinoplasty, I attended many training programs and courses in Turkey and abroad. I gained professional experience alongside experts in this field. Since I have a perfectionist personality, I try to do my job in the best way possible. I can say that I am a pleased surgeon because I witness the happiness of my patients after the surgery. And most importantly, I love my job. Rhinoplasty was not just a choice for me, and when I started, I knew that I would be successful in this field. I will continue to be successful as long as my love and care for my job continue. I’m sure patients will feel the same when they see my work.“
Dr. Zeynep Erol also worked in the USA for a while and is an example of Turkey’s success in the health sector. Besides being a young and talented surgeon, Dr. Zeynep Erol has lots of rhinoplasty experience. Erol emphasizes that different approaches are essential in rhinoplasty surgeries and that she is solution-oriented.
“Instead of being limited to only one technique, I take an approach according to the patient’s problem. In addition, it is possible to switch between techniques during surgery.“
As a result, Turkey is both an economically attractive country, and talented doctors like Dr. Zeynep Erol motivate people who want a surgical operation to come to this country from thousands of kilometers away. It is unknown that Turkey will continue its success in health tourism, but it is a fact that the world needs successful surgeons like Dr. Zeynep Erol.
