Thank you bookimed, I love you all ❤️💋
The best thing that could have happened to me. I had a sex change. It was all quick and uncomplicated. In Germany I would have had to wait over 3 years, maybe even longer. Bookimed has made my life worth living again. Bookimed is currently the best intuition. I was pampered and all my wishes were fulfilled. Arrival, transfer, hotel, clinic..... Everything 💯 💥 Thank you bookimed, I love you all ❤️💋

Thank you so much Dr Aykut and Dr Med team for all you have done for me
I was recommended Dr Med by Bookimed, a very good, trustworthy medical platform. My accordinator could not speak highly enough of Dr Aykut and the team, and she was right. From start to finish I received the best medical and supportive care. Muhlise who was there for me to talk to 24 hours a day is one of the loveliest people I have ever come across, answering all my questions, concerns and organising everything for me. They checked my bloods and did a full health check to check that I was well enough to have all the procedures. The nurses were so lovely and there every second to look after me and make sure I had a good, quick recovery. Within 3 days I felt as if I hadn't even had an operation. I had no discomfort, no pain, was able to see a bit of Istanbul which was lovely. I was put in such a lovely hotel and luxuary transfer to and from all my appointments and airports. I am so happy with my results. Thank you so much Dr Aykut and Dr Med team for all you have done for me. I have been in the best hands.

I chose this clinic based on the reviews and I am writing myself. Catherine gave me all the information and helped me with all my organised questions. I had a breast augmentation and a mini tummy tuck just over a week ago and everything was top notch. The contact persons were always in touch with me, available for feedback at any time. The operation was successful , the anaesthesia was mild . Dr Hakan Teymur is empathic, pleasant person, with attention and individual attitude to the patient. Many thanks to Akylay, who supported me and was always in touch with me. Very kind person. Narmina is a very pleasant, positive girl. Now I will wait for the result.

But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts
I liked everything overall. Initially, I was very afraid, starting with the flight to another country, the transfer to the hotel and the operation itself. But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts. 5 hours after the operation I returned to the hotel. Which is also very good because the hospital ward is the worst for me. Exactly after a week I took off the splint, my nose was still swollen. The nose is proportional to my face. When the swelling goes down it will be smaller

What patients like:

  1. Cost. The Sex reassignment surgery cost in Turkey ranges from $10749 to $11643. This price is significantly less than in the US, where it can reach up to $100,000, or in the UK, where it can be as high as $50,000.
  2. Doctor’s professionalism. Turkish surgeons are highly skilled, holding international certificates and memberships. They perform numerous reassignment surgeries each year, ensuring they stay updated on the latest techniques.
  3. Service level. Patients praise the high-quality care and personal attention they receive throughout their stay. The inclusion of VIP transportation and a 5-star hotel reservation enhances their experience.
  4. Sex reassignment surgery efficacy. The use of advanced surgical techniques results in successful outcomes, with patients reporting a high level of satisfaction with their new gender identity.
  5. Logistics. The all-inclusive package, which covers transportation, accommodation, tests, medications, and post-operative care, is a major plus for patients.

What patients don’t like:

  1. Language Barrier. Some patients experience communication difficulties due to the language barrier, which can cause stress and misunderstandings.
  2. Post-surgery care. While the immediate post-surgery care is good, some patients feel that long-term follow-up is lacking.
  3. Waiting time. Some patients have faced longer than expected waiting times for surgery, which can be frustrating and upsetting.

Wonderful girl Alyona interpreter who was on call 24/7, medical staff very attentive and caring, operator Christina from Bookimed was also always on call.

I came here to enlarge my breasts by transferring fat from my legs to my breasts. They increased but not as much as I wanted ( They were beautiful when there was swelling after the surgery. But after three days everything was gone and I saw the final result. Although in two weeks they may not become even smaller…) I highly recommend girls to do implants and not waste their time and money on fat that may eventually disappear completely if you do gym etc . The doctor warned me that such results would occur, but I didn’t want implants and hoped for a miracle with fat…I recommend this clinic and doctor Feridun Elmas Thank you ,next time I come for implants

  • Expertise of surgeons. Turkey is home to highly qualified surgeons with extensive experience in gender-affirming procedures. Turkish surgeons often receive part of their training internationally, bringing a wealth of knowledge in transgender surgeries back to their home country. Many are members of international plastic surgery and transgender health associations, such as the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). 
  • Government incentives. The Turkish government supports the medical tourism industry, offering incentives for healthcare providers to maintain high standards of care in specialized treatments like gender-affirming surgery.
  • Cultural and geographical appeal. Turkey's location is especially convenient for patients from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

What factors impact the cost of gender reassignment surgery in Turkey?

💉Type of surgery

The specific type of gender reassignment surgery and the complexity of the procedures involved (such as breast/chest reconstruction, genital surgery, and aesthetic plastic surgery) play a crucial role in determining the cost. More complex surgeries require more time, resources, and expertise, leading to higher costs. 

For example, the bottom surgery cost tends to be 2-3 times higher than the top surgery cost due to the intricate nature of genital reconstruction:

  • On average, the top surgery cost in Turkey is between $3,000 and $5,000.
  • Bottom surgery costs in Turkey can range from $5,000 to $15,000.

👨🏻‍⚕️Surgeon’s expertise

Highly experienced surgeons with a strong reputation in gender reassignment surgery procedures charge more for their services. Their expertise in reconstructive surgery and proven track record of successful outcomes can significantly influence the overall cost.

🏥Hospital facilities

The choice of hospital or clinic also affects the cost. Modern facilities with cutting-edge technology and high standards of patient care usually have higher rates.

➕Additional procedures

Gender reassignment surgery is often accompanied by other cosmetic or reconstructive procedures to enhance the overall result. These additional treatments, such as facial feminization or voice modification surgery, can add to the total cost. Moreover, patients sometimes need revision surgeries to refine the results or address potential complications.

🗺️Accommodation and travel

International patients must consider the cost of accommodation and travel expenses for themselves and accompanying family members or friends. Some clinics offer packages that include these aspects, but they can vary widely.

What is included in the transgender surgery package in Turkey?

In Turkey, transgender surgery packages offer patients a comprehensive and streamlined experience. These all-inclusive packages cover a wide range of services to ensure patient comfort and convenience throughout the surgical process. 

Sex reassignment surgery packages usually include:

  • Fees for the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and the use of the operating room;
  • Charges for the recovery room, including nursing care;
  • All medications necessary during the hospital stay;
  • Meals during the hospital stay;
  • Transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic.

Additionally, it is a common practice in Turkey for patients to opt for multiple gender-affirming procedures simultaneously, such as combining orchiectomy and vaginoplasty. This approach is more cost-effective than undergoing each procedure separately. It provides significant savings in both costs and surgery recovery time.

What types of gender reassignment surgery can you get in Turkey?

Bookimed partners with the 11 best gender reassignment surgery clinics in Turkey. Turkish gender surgeons offer a comprehensive range of gender reassignment procedures, ensuring each transgender patient can get the care they need and overcome their gender dysphoria. The types of gender reassignment surgery available in Turkey include:

Top Surgery

  • Chest feminization. Turkish plastic surgeons perform breast augmentation by inserting breast implants to give the chest a feminine physical appearance.
  • Chest masculinization. The medical team performs mastectomy, or the removal of excess breast tissue, to create a masculine chest.

Bottom Surgery

Male-to-female (MTF) bottom surgeries available in Turkey include:

  • Vaginoplasty — construction of a vagina and vulva, typically through penile inversion.
  • Orchiectomy — removal of the testicles.

Female-to-male (FTM) bottom surgeries performed in Turkey are:

  • Phalloplasty — construction of a neopenis with tissue from other body parts.
  • Metoidioplasty  — construction of a neopenis from clitoral tissue.
  • Hysterectomy — removal of the uterus.
  • Oophorectomy — removal of the ovaries.

Facial feminization/masculinization surgery

Gender reassignment surgery in Turkey may also involve modifying facial features through plastic surgery for a more feminine or masculine appearance, depending on the patient's gender identity. 

  • Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is highly popular among transgender women and transfeminine individuals. Common surgical procedures include jaw and chin recontouring, forehead reshaping, rhinoplasty, and reducing the prominence of the Adam’s apple (tracheal shave).
  • Facial Masculinization Surgery (FMS) is less in demand among transgender men because testosterone therapy alone often leads to significant masculinization of facial features. When opted for, FMS focuses on enhancing masculine traits like a more prominent brow bone, jawline, and chin.

Voice Surgery

Voice modification surgery adjusts the pitch and resonance to better match the patient’s gender identity. 

  • Voice feminization surgery techniques may involve shortening the vocal cords or modifying the tension to achieve a higher pitch.
  • Voice masculinization surgery for transgender men might involve thickening and lengthening the vocal cords to lower the pitch.

Where can international patients go for gender reassignment surgery in Turkey?

Istanbul and Antalya are the most prominent destinations for gender reassignment surgery in Turkey.

Istanbul

👍Pros:

  • Medical expertise. Istanbul is renowned for its highly experienced surgeons and gender reassignment clinics, such as Dr. MED Clinic and Kucukcekmece Hospital. The city's healthcare providers are leaders in their field and hold international certifications.
  • Cultural and historical richness. Istanbul is the most visited city in the world for a reason. Patients and their families can enjoy Istanbul's rich cultural heritage and historical sites during the recovery period. This is the perfect place for a comforting and enriching experience outside the clinical setting.
  • Accessibility. As Turkey's largest city and a major international hub, Istanbul is easily accessible from almost anywhere in the world, with many direct flights.

👎Cons:

  • Cost of living. The cost of living and medical services in Istanbul can be higher than in smaller Turkish cities, which might slightly increase the overall cost of the stay. Yet, it's still notably more affordable compared to Western countries. For example, Istanbul’s cost of living is 2.4 times lower than in the United States.

Antalya

👍Pros:

  • Quality care. Despite being smaller than Istanbul, Antalya boasts a modern medical infrastructure and highly skilled surgeons experienced in gender-affirming surgeries.
  • Competitive pricing. The cost of medical procedures, including gender reassignment surgery, can be more affordable in Antalya compared to Istanbul. This affordability extends to accommodation and living expenses, making the overall stay more economical.
  • Scenic relaxation. Known for its stunning Mediterranean coastline and resorts, Antalya offers a tranquil environment ideal for sex reassignment surgery recovery. The serene setting can be a significant advantage for patients seeking peace and relaxation.

👎Cons:

  • Fewer specialists. While the quality of medical care is high, Antalya has fewer specialized surgeons for gender reassignment surgery than Istanbul. This could limit patients' choice of healthcare providers. 

How to find the best hospital for gender reassignment surgery in Turkey?

The crucial factors to take into account when selecting a hospital for gender-affirmation surgery are:

  1. Accreditations and certifications. Look for hospitals accredited by reputable organizations like the Joint Commission International (JCI), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the Turkish Medical Association (TMA). These accreditations ensure that the facility meets global standards for healthcare quality and patient safety.
  2. Surgeon qualifications and experience. Investigate the qualifications, experience, and track record of surgeons. Ideally, they should have extensive experience in gender reassignment surgeries.
  3. Patient reviews. Seek out testimonials and reviews from previous patients. These can provide insight into their experiences with the hospital's care, the surgery outcomes, and the surgeon's expertise.
  4. Before and after photos. Request before and after photos of previous surgeries. These can help you assess the surgeon's ability to achieve natural-looking results.
  5. Comprehensive care approach. Gender clinics in Turkey tend to adopt a holistic approach, including post-operative care, follow-up services, and perks like free transfers for international patients. Choose a hospital that offers all-inclusive packages for your needs.

What steps does transgender surgery in Turkey involve?

  • Initial consultation. The sex reassignment process begins with an online consultation to discuss your transition goals, expectations, and any medical considerations. It is followed by an in-person meeting with your surgeon upon arrival in Turkey.
  • Pre-surgical assessments. You will have to undergo thorough medical and psychiatric evaluations to confirm you're ready for surgery.
  • Surgery. The duration of the actual surgery varies by procedure; for example, an orchiectomy might take 1-2 hours, while more complex surgeries like vaginoplasty can last 3-6 hours.
  • Hospital stay. Post-surgery, patients stay in the hospital for 2-7 days so that doctors can closely monitor their recovery and address immediate concerns.
  • Recovery in Turkey. After being discharged, patients need to stay in Turkey for 1.5-2 weeks for post-operative care and to ensure the initial phase of recovery goes smoothly.
  • Full recovery. Complete recovery from transgender surgery can span several months to a year, with key progress occurring in the first 6 weeks.
  • Long-term care. Complex surgical procedures like vaginoplasty and phalloplasty require ongoing care, including hormonal treatments, additional procedures, and dilation, to refine the results and support the patient’s transition.

What are the requirements for gender reassignment surgery in Turkey?

1. Psychological evaluation

Most gender reassignment clinics in Turkey require a thorough psychological assessment by a mental health professional. It should confirm that the patient is experiencing gender dysphoria and that such a major surgery is necessary for their gender transition.

2. Informed consent

Patients must provide informed consent, demonstrating an understanding of the risks and benefits of the gender reassignment procedure, as well as the permanency of the results.

3. Legal age

Patients must be of legal age, which is 18 years or older in Turkey, to make an informed decision and undergo surgery.

4. Hormone therapy

It is common for SRS surgeons in Turkey to request a documented history of hormone therapy, usually for a minimum period (such as 12 months).

5. Medical clearance

A comprehensive medical evaluation is required to rule out any health conditions that could complicate the surgery or the patient's ability to recover.
