Questions, answered
Everything you need to know about cosmetic surgery, hair transplants, and recovery in Istanbul and Tashkent, organized by topic.
Booking with Med Beauty Retreat
Why book through Med Beauty Retreat instead of a clinic directly?
We are your independent advocate. We research and select clinics, secure detailed proposals, arrange scheduling and travel, and support you in your language from first message to final follow-up. You get local expertise without the guesswork.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. Your online consultation and personalized quote are completely free, with no obligation.
How do you match me with a clinic?
Our founder, Irina Zolina, personally reviews your goals and history and matches you to the right clinic in Tashkent or Istanbul.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend four to eight weeks so we can secure your preferred surgeon and dates. Faster timelines are often possible.
Do you charge a fee?
Yes. We charge a $200 deposit to begin, plus 5% of the total price of your trip. The deposit is credited toward that 5%, so it is not an extra cost. Everything is agreed in writing before you commit, and our advice does not change based on which clinic you choose.
How we select providers
Is cosmetic surgery in Istanbul and Tashkent safe?
Yes, at licensed clinics with board-certified surgeons we name for you before you commit. We only work with licensed, insured clinics that meet strict safety and hygiene standards.
How do you select clinics and doctors?
We personally research every partner: board certification, licensing, facility standards, and patient outcomes. We only partner if they pass.
Who will actually perform my procedure?
A board-certified surgeon at your chosen clinic. We tell you exactly who, before you commit.
What about complications or revisions?
Your clinic provides informed consent and clear revision policies upfront. We help you understand them and support you if anything arises.
Cost & pricing
How much does a procedure cost?
We deliberately do not publish price lists, and we want to be straight with you about why. A number on a web page has to assume a procedure, a technique, a surgeon and an amount of work. The moment any of those differ from you, the number is wrong. Published prices in this industry are usually the cheapest possible case, quoted to get you into a conversation and revised upward once you are in it. We would rather quote you once, in writing, and be right.
So instead: tell us what you are considering, and you get a free itemized quote for your case, with every line listed, nothing charged and no obligation to proceed. If a number we give you ever changes afterwards, we will tell you why in writing before anything is agreed.
What is included in the price?
Typically the procedure, accommodation, transfers, and aftercare coordination. Your quote lists exactly what is included.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. We insist on transparent, itemized pricing. Any medications or garments are shown upfront.
Who do I pay for my treatment?
You pay Med Beauty Retreat. We collect the $200 deposit to begin and coordinate payment for your treatment and travel, so you have one point of contact rather than several. Everything is itemized in writing before you pay.
Procedures & results
What procedures do you coordinate?
Cosmetic surgery, rhinoplasty, hair transplantation, aesthetic treatments, and dental aesthetics.
How long do results last?
Many results, such as rhinoplasty and hair transplants, are permanent. Your surgeon explains what to expect for your specific procedure.
Am I a suitable candidate?
Your surgeon confirms suitability after reviewing your history and photos. We arrange that review as part of your free consultation.
Will my results look natural?
Our surgeons specialize in natural-looking outcomes tailored to your features. You approve the plan before anything proceeds.
Travel & logistics
Do I need a visa for Uzbekistan or Turkey?
It depends on your nationality. We advise on visa requirements for both destinations and help you prepare.
How long should I stay?
Most procedures require a stay of five to ten days for treatment and initial recovery. Your itinerary confirms the exact length.
Do you arrange accommodation and transfers?
Yes. We coordinate boutique hotel stays and private transfers as part of your itinerary.
Do I need to speak the local language?
No. English-speaking support and translation are provided throughout your journey.
Recovery & aftercare
What aftercare is provided?
Post-operative care at your clinic, plus ongoing remote support from us once you return home.
How do follow-ups work after I fly home?
We stay in contact and coordinate remote follow-ups with your surgeon, sharing updates and photos securely.
When can I fly home after my procedure?
Your surgeon advises safe timing, usually a few days to a week after treatment, depending on the procedure.
What if something goes wrong after I leave?
Contact us and we help you reach your clinic and arrange next steps quickly.
