For a long time, plastic surgery has been at the center of both discussion and praise. The field encompasses a wide range of medical and personal objectives, such as repairing appearances following injuries or improving features for confidence.
Turkey’s cheap and highly qualified surgeons are making it a global center for a wide range of cosmetic procedures.

The outcomes of plastic surgery can occasionally be so remarkable that they are quite unbelievable.
This is precisely what occurred when a series of before-and-after pictures of a woman’s makeover went viral on TikTok, leaving onlookers in awe of the striking contrast.
A cosmetic surgeon who discusses their work on TikTok under the handle “Dr May” and who seems to be based in Turkey uploaded the video. According to the video, Miss Dilek, a 68-year-old woman, had several operations over the course of two years, including a facelift, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
Miss Dilek exhibits age-related visual indications of aging in the “before” photo. However, viewers questioned whether the woman in the “after” picture was actually the same person because she looks decades younger and has tighter, smoother features.
“Our lovely patient Miss Dilek after two years of rhinoplasty, facelift and blepharoplasty surgeries. I await your comments,” the surgeon wrote in the caption.
And the comments poured in. “That’s the mum and daughter — no way that’s her,” one user insisted. Another wrote: “The nose changed completely. They’re different people.” It seems no one is sure whether the images are authentic.
Even though they deleted their Instagram account, Dr. May has amassed a sizable TikTok following, with around 32,000 followers and 100,000 views on Miss Dilek’s transformation video. It’s not his most popular post, though; a video showing a nose job done on a patient in the United States has received almost five million views.
Turkey has been a popular destination for medical tourists worldwide, particularly for plastic surgery. In addition to being far less expensive than in many Western nations, its placement as a bridge between Europe and Asia has made it available to patients everywhere.
Over 100,000 tourists visit Turkey annually for cosmetic treatments such as breast surgeries, chin implants, tummy tucks, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and more, according to Clinic Spots.
The Turkish Ministry of Tourism reports that most medical tourists come from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and France.
