*Round-trip economy flight from Dallas, estimated at $1,200 (usually about $1,000–1,400 depending on season). The U.S. figures are the surgeon’s fee alone, as published by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons; anesthesia, operating room and hospital costs are extra, so the full U.S. price is higher. Our starting price for cosmetic procedures is $1,790 (lip lift). A-1 prices are starting prices per person; your exact price is confirmed in writing before you book. U.S. prices vary by city, clinic and surgeon, and insurance may cover some treatments. Sources: American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2024 Procedural Statistics.
Flying home
US plastic surgeons suggest waiting 7–10 days after face, eyelid or nose surgery and about 10 days after chest or abdominal surgery before flying. Wear compression stockings and walk the aisle on the flight home. The doctor always has the final word on when you can fly.
Questions people ask
How long will I stay?
Usually 7–10 days, depending on the procedure.
Can I combine procedures?
Sometimes. The surgeon decides what can be done safely in one operation.
Should someone come with me?
We recommend it. We’ll book their flights and hotel too.
What if there’s a complication?
Ask the hospital how complications and follow-up care are handled, and get it in writing before you travel. Ask us about insurance that covers medical travel.

No. A-1 is a travel agency in Richardson, Texas. We arrange your trip; accredited hospitals and clinics in Istanbul carry out treatment, and their doctors decide what’s right for you.
