Why a single all-inclusive price? Many medical-tourism clinics quote a low surgical fee then add anaesthesia, hospital, hotel, and transfers separately. Dr. Erdal's package is structured so the price you receive is the price you pay — start to finish.
How to receive a personal quote
Pricing varies slightly depending on procedure complexity (primary vs revision, septoplasty addition, etc.). To receive an exact quote tailored to your case:
- Send three photos via WhatsApp or the contact form: front view, profile (right and left), and three-quarter view, in good natural light without makeup.
- Mention any prior nose surgery, breathing concerns, or specific aesthetic goals.
- Dr. Erdal personally reviews your case and replies with a detailed personal assessment and exact package quote within 24 hours.
What is not included
- International flights to and from Istanbul
- Visa fees (if applicable for your country)
- Personal expenses, additional sightseeing, extended hotel nights
- Any unrelated medical procedures
Why Istanbul, why this surgeon
Istanbul has become a global centre for rhinoplasty for two reasons: the city has world-class surgical infrastructure, and the cost of surgical care is significantly lower than in Western Europe or North America while quality remains equivalent or higher.
However, choosing the surgeon matters far more than choosing the city. Look for:
- International board certification (FACS, FEBOPRAS)
- Active peer-reviewed publication record — especially in techniques relevant to your case
- High annual case volume
- Direct surgeon-patient communication (not through brokers or "consultants")
- Ministry of Health International Health Tourism Authorization
- Real before-and-after portfolio with consistent results
Dr. Erdal: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ayhan Işık Erdal is dual board-certified (FACS, FEBOPRAS), with 2000+ rhinoplasties, fellowships at Memorial Sloan Kettering and Ghent University Hospital, ISAPS World Congress 2023 Gold and Bronze awards, and original published research on dorsal preservation rhinoplasty in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, Annals of Plastic Surgery, and Facial Plastic Surgery.
