Why Revision Surgeries Are Increasing in Turkey – And How to Avoid Being One
Fibemed Healthcare
Over the last few years, Turkey has become one of the world’s most popular destinations for cosmetic surgery. However, alongside this growth, there has also been a noticeable rise in revision surgeries. Many patients travel back not for a new enhancement, but to fix problems caused by poor planning, rushed decisions, or unsafe surgical environments.
At Fibemed Healthcare, a large part of our work now involves patients who say the same thing
“I wish I had done it properly the first time.”
This article explains why revision surgeries are increasing and how you can protect yourself from becoming one of them.
Why Are Revision Surgeries Increasing?
1. Too Many Procedures at the Same Time
One of the most common reasons is excessive combined surgeries. While combining procedures can sometimes be safe, pushing the body beyond its limits significantly increases complications.
Long operation times raise the risk of
• poor wound healing
• infection
• blood circulation problems
• prolonged swelling and asymmetry
At Fibemed, patient safety always comes before cost or speed.
2. Surgery Performed in Clinics Instead of Full Hospitals
Another major factor is where the surgery is performed.
Many revision cases come from procedures done in small clinics without
• intensive care units
• full anesthesia teams
• emergency intervention capacity
A complication does not announce itself in advance. This is why Fibemed works only with fully equipped, government approved hospitals.
3. Lack of Proper Patient Assessment
Not every patient is suitable for every procedure.
Revision cases often stem from
• ignoring medical history
• unrealistic expectations
• poor skin quality assessment
• incorrect surgical technique selection
Saying yes to every request is easy. Saying no when necessary is professional.
4. Unregulated Booking Channels
We increasingly see patients who booked their surgery through social media messages or informal intermediaries.
Common problems include
• no legal accountability
• no written treatment plan
• no post operative support
• disappearing contacts after surgery
Medical surgery should never be treated like an online purchase.
How Fibemed Helps Patients Avoid Revision Surgery
A Safety First Surgical Philosophy
We do not chase volume. We focus on outcomes.
If a combination or timing is unsafe, we explain it clearly and recommend a safer plan.
Hospital Based Surgery Only
Every procedure is carried out in full service hospitals with
• advanced anesthesia care
• emergency readiness
• professional nursing teams
Ethical Patient Selection
Some patients are advised to wait. Some are advised to stage procedures.
This is how long term results are protected.
Structured Aftercare and Follow Up
Surgery does not end when you leave the operating room.
Post operative monitoring, medication management, and recovery planning are essential parts of the process.
Final Thoughts
Revision surgery is physically, emotionally, and financially demanding.
In most cases, it is preventable.
Choosing the right team, the right hospital, and the right plan from the beginning is the most valuable decision a patient can make.
At Fibemed Healthcare, our goal is simple
Do it once. Do it safely. Do it properly.
