The information on mayclinik.com is meant to help you learn about treatments and about travelling to Türkiye for them. Please read this notice before relying on any of it.
Information only
The content of this website, including articles, treatment pages, recovery timelines, questions and answers and videos, is general information. It is not medical advice, a diagnosis or a treatment plan, and it does not replace a consultation with a qualified doctor who knows your medical history.
MAYCLINIK is not a medical provider
MAYCLINIK is a health tourism facilitator authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health (AK-0086). We do not carry out treatments. Treatments are performed by independent, licensed doctors in accredited hospitals we have contracts with, and they are responsible for medical decisions and care.
Our patient coordinators are not doctors and cannot give medical advice. Any medical question is passed on to a doctor.
Talk to a doctor
Before you decide on any treatment, discuss it with a doctor. Tell the treating doctor about your full medical history, your medication, allergies, smoking and previous operations, even if they seem unimportant.
We also recommend that you speak to your own doctor at home before you travel, and that you arrange follow-up care with them after you return.
Every treatment has risks
All surgical and medical procedures carry risks. Your doctor will explain the risks of your specific treatment before you give your consent. General risks include:
- bleeding, bruising and swelling;
- infection and problems with wound healing;
- reactions to anaesthesia or medication;
- blood clots (thrombosis) and pulmonary embolism, a risk that increases with long journeys;
- scarring, asymmetry, changes in sensation or a result that differs from what you expected;
- the need for further treatment or a revision procedure.
Travelling soon after a procedure needs careful planning. Follow your doctor’s advice on when you can fly, and plan enough time in Türkiye for check-ups.
Results vary
Results depend on many individual factors, such as anatomy, skin quality, age, general health, healing and how closely aftercare instructions are followed. Recovery times and results described on this website are typical examples, not predictions for you.
Before and after photos
Before and after photos show real patients and are published only with their written consent. Each photo shows the result of one person. It is not a promise or a prediction of your own result.
Medical review of our content
Our medical articles are reviewed by doctors, and each article shows who reviewed it and when. Medical knowledge changes, so an article may not reflect the latest developments at the time you read it.
No guarantees
Nothing on this website guarantees a medical outcome, the suitability of a treatment for you or the availability of a particular doctor. No doctor, hospital or facilitator can guarantee a specific result. The decision about treatment is yours, made together with your doctor.
In an emergency
This website, our forms, live chat and WhatsApp are not emergency services. In a medical emergency, call the local emergency number straight away: 112 in Türkiye and in the EU, 999 or 112 in the UK.
If you are in Türkiye for treatment, also call your coordinator or the hospital. If you have problems after returning home, see a local doctor or emergency service first, and then let us know.
