A successful aesthetic outcome is never an accident; it is the result of meticulous planning. At Liv Hospital, we believe that the plastic surgery consultation is the most critical phase of your journey. This is where your desires meet our medical expertise to create a blueprint for your new look.
For our international patients, this process begins long before you board a plane to Turkey. Through high-definition virtual consultations and advanced digital imaging, we ensure that you and your surgeon are perfectly aligned on the goals, risks, and logistics of your procedure.
We understand that flying across the world for surgery requires immense trust. Our Remote Assessment Protocol is designed to provide you with a clear surgical plan and a fixed price quote from the comfort of your home.
Photo Submission: You will be asked to submit clear, high-resolution photos of the treatment area from specific angles (front, side, 45-degree angle). Privacy is guaranteed; these images are stored on our HIPAA-compliant encrypted server.
Surgeon Review: Unlike agencies that use salespeople, at Liv Hospital, an actual Plastic Surgeon reviews your case to determine candidacy.
Video Call & Simulation: You will have a video consultation where we can screen-share. Using VECTRA 3D software, we can sometimes upload your photos to simulate potential results, showing you a “before and after” preview before you even book your ticket.
Plastic surgery is real surgery. To ensure your safety, Liv Hospital adheres to strict JCI (Joint Commission International) anesthesia standards. We do not operate on high-risk patients without full medical optimization.
To minimize the risk of complications like bleeding or poor wound healing, you must adhere to a strict pre-operative protocol for 14 days before surgery.
Plastic surgery is an emotional journey. We encourage patients to prepare psychologically for the “recovery rollercoaster.”

Your comfort depends on what you bring. We recommend packing specifically for your surgery type:
From the moment you land in Istanbul, our International Patient Center takes over. You are not just a patient; you are our guest.
You should ask about the surgeon’s board certification, how often they perform the specific procedure, what the potential complications are, and request to see before-and-after photos of their work.
Yes, bringing a friend or family member is highly encouraged, as they can provide emotional support and help listen to and retain the detailed information the doctor provides.
Popular surgeons may be booked months in advance, so it is advisable to schedule your procedure 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if you have a specific recovery time frame in mind.
Ideally, you should be close to your stable, goal weight before body contouring surgery, as significant weight fluctuations after the procedure can negatively alter the aesthetic results.
If you develop a cold, fever, or any illness in the days leading up to your surgery, you must contact the office immediately, as the procedure may need to be rescheduled for your safety.
