Most of Dr. Erdal's revision patients travel from the UK, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Germany and the Nordic countries. Here's how the journey works from where you are — flights, entry, your stay, and how aftercare continues once you're home.
Direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Dublin — around 4 hours. UK and Irish patients most often come after long private waiting times or high quotes, and value that consultations, surgery and aftercare all run in fluent English.
Direct flights from New York, Chicago, Miami, Washington, Toronto and Montreal — roughly 9–11 hours. North American patients typically travel for the combination of revision experience and pricing far below US/Canadian private quotes.
Direct flights from Copenhagen, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo and Helsinki — around 3.5–4.5 hours. Nordic patients often come to shorten long public waiting routes for secondary surgery, with English-language care throughout.
Direct flights from Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf and Hamburg — around 3 hours, with many daily connections. German patients appreciate verifiable board certification (FEBOPRAS — the European board) and structured, well-documented care.
Istanbul is one of the world's busiest centres for plastic & reconstructive surgery. For revision patients that matters twice over: secondary breast surgery is demanding work best done by surgeons who see it regularly, and structurally lower costs mean savings of typically 50–70% versus comparable private surgery in the UK, US, Canada, Germany or the Nordics — without cutting corners on the surgeon, the hospital or the anaesthesia.
The savings come from lower operating costs and currency, not lower standards. What makes the trip worthwhile isn't the discount — it's pairing that value with a verified, revision-experienced surgeon and a clear aftercare pathway.
What international patients ask most — answered plainly.
Passport, any records of your first surgery (helpful, not essential), regular medicines in original packaging, and loose front-opening tops for after surgery.
Usually 5–7 days: consultation and pre-op checks, surgery, comfortable recovery nearby, and a final check before you fly. Your exact plan is confirmed in advance.
You'll be checked before departure and given clear guidance for the flight and the weeks after. Follow-up continues by WhatsApp or video as the result settles over months.
