From the first consultation to the follow-up after you fly home.
International patients usually begin by contacting Esteworld before travelling to Istanbul and providing information about the procedure they are considering. The international-patient team can assist with appointment planning, communication and travel-related arrangements.
After arrival, patients undergoing plastic surgery should expect an in-person assessment with the treating medical team and any preoperative checks required for the planned procedure. The surgeon confirms the surgical plan, discusses expectations and explains preparation and recovery requirements.
Surgical procedures are performed within Esteworld's surgical facilities, with postoperative monitoring determined by the procedure and the patient's clinical needs. Some operations may require an overnight stay, while others may be managed without inpatient admission.
Before leaving Istanbul, patients typically receive postoperative checks and instructions for wound care, medications, activity and travel. International-patient support can continue remotely after the patient returns home.
Exact preparation, hospital stay, follow-up schedule and fitness-to-fly timing depend on the procedure and must be confirmed individually with the treating surgeon.
Esteworld Altunizade Surgical Complex is the main surgical facility of Esteworld Health Group, an Istanbul-based healthcare organization active in aesthetic medicine since 1994. The group focuses on plastic and reconstructive surgery, hair transplantation and hair treatments, medical aesthetics, dental aesthetics and selected wellness services.
The Altunizade surgical facility is located on Istanbul's Asian side in the Üsküdar district. Esteworld states that its Altunizade hospital has approximately **10,000 m² of indoor space and 25 patient rooms**. Across Esteworld's Istanbul facilities, the group reports **4 operating theatres, 17 hair-transplant units, 7 dental units and a laboratory**, supported by approximately 700 employees. These figures are group-reported; the operating-theatre and treatment-unit totals should not be interpreted as applying exclusively to the Altunizade branch.
Plastic surgery services advertised by Esteworld include rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift and reconstruction, gynecomastia surgery, facelift and neck lift, blepharoplasty, brow/forehead lifting, abdominoplasty, liposuction, arm and leg lifting, fat transfer, buttock surgery and selected intimate procedures. Hair transplantation and medical aesthetic treatments are also provided within the wider Esteworld network.
Esteworld has a substantial international-patient operation. The organization states that it works with patients from more than 35 countries and operates international support services, including treatment planning, appointment coordination, multilingual communication and assistance with accommodation and transportation.

Esteworld Altunizade Surgical Complex is located in **Altunizade, Üsküdar**, on the Asian side of Istanbul, close to the approaches to the 15 July Martyrs Bridge. **Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW)** is generally the more convenient airport geographically for Altunizade. Road journeys are approximately **35–60 minutes**, depending heavily on Istanbul traffic. **Istanbul Airport (IST)** is on the European side. A road journey to Altunizade commonly takes approximately **40–70 minutes**, with longer journeys possible during peak traffic. Altunizade is a mixed residential, commercial and healthcare district with access to public transport. Esteworld's own directions describe connections through Üsküdar and the M5 metro, while travellers arriving from Sabiha Gökçen can connect through Kadıköy. Patients travelling soon after surgery should confirm with the clinic whether private transfer is more appropriate than public transportation.
