Layers of Protection

How your safety is built in

Accredited hospitals

Every procedure takes place at an A+ hospital meeting international JCI standards, with sterile modern theatres, intensive-care availability and trained nursing staff.

A credentialed surgeon

Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Erdal — double board-certified (FACS, FEBOPRAS), never delegated to a trainee or an unknown 'ghost' surgeon.

Proper anaesthesia care

Anaesthesia is always administered and monitored by a separate board-certified anaesthesiologist, not the operating surgeon.

Real pre-op assessment

Detailed blood tests, imaging and examination confirm you are medically fit for surgery before anything proceeds.

Continuous aftercare

An in-person review before you fly, then ongoing WhatsApp guidance with Dr. Erdal once you're home.

Honest expectations

Dr. Erdal will decline or adjust a plan if it isn't in your best interest. Safety and a natural result always come before a sale.

Choose Wisely

What to verify before any surgery abroad

Use this checklist with us — or with anyone you're considering. A trustworthy provider will answer all of it without hesitation.

  • Who operates? Confirm the named, board-certified surgeon performs the surgery personally.
  • Where? Ask for the specific accredited hospital and its standards.
  • Credentials? Verify board certifications (e.g. FACS, FEBOPRAS) and memberships (e.g. ISAPS, ASPS).
  • Authorisation? Check for a Ministry of Health health-tourism certificate.
  • Aftercare? Understand exactly what follow-up and complication support you'll receive at home.
  • Transparency? Insist on a written, all-inclusive quote with no vague extras.
