For a long time, plastic surgery has been at the center of both discussion and praise. The field encompasses a wide range of medical and personal objectives, such as repairing appearances following injuries or improving features for confidence.
Turkey’s cheap and highly qualified surgeons are making it the global center for a wide range of cosmetic procedures.

The outcomes of plastic surgery can occasionally be so remarkable that they are quite unbelievable.
This is precisely what occurred when a series of before-and-after pictures of a woman’s makeover went viral on TikTok, leaving onlookers in awe of the striking contrast.
The video was uploaded by a cosmetic surgeon who goes by the handle “Dr May” on TikTok and seems to be headquartered in Turkey. The 68-year-old woman in the video, Miss Dilek, apparently had several operations over the course of two years, including blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), a facelift, and a rhinoplasty.
Miss Dilek exhibits age-related visual indications of aging in the “before” photo. However, some questioned whether the woman in the “after” picture was actually the same person because she looks decades younger and has tighter, smoother features.
After two years of blepharoplasty, facelift, and rhinoplasty procedures, our beautiful patient Miss Dilek is back. “I look forward to hearing from you,” the surgeon captioned the photo.

And the feedback came flooding in. One person maintained, “That’s the mother and daughter—no way that’s her.” “The nose changed completely,” another person wrote. They are distinct individuals. Nobody appears to know if the pictures are real.
Even though they deleted their Instagram account, Dr. May has amassed a sizable TikTok following, with around 32,000 followers and 100,000 views on Miss Dilek’s transformation video. It’s not his most popular post, though; a video showing a nose job done on a patient in the United States has received almost five million views.

Turkey has been a popular destination for medical tourists worldwide, particularly for plastic surgery. In addition to being far less expensive than in many Western nations, its placement as a bridge between Europe and Asia has made it available to patients everywhere.
Over 100,000 tourists visit Turkey annually for cosmetic treatments such as breast surgeries, chin implants, tummy tucks, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, and more, according to Clinic Spots.
The majority of medical tourists from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and France, according to the Turkish Ministry of Tourism, come from these countries.
With makeovers like Miss Dilek’s going viral online, it’s no surprise that the nation has emerged as a top choice for people looking for dramatic—and occasionally unreal—results.
