How Jelan Clinic works with patients travelling from the United States and Canada for BBL and body contouring: remote assessment before travel, a written plan, our specialised medical team’s assessment of your case, and follow-up that continues after you return home.
Can I have BBL or body contouring in Istanbul if I live in the United States and Canada?
Yes — the process begins with a remote assessment from your home country. You send clear photographs and your medical history, our specialised medical team reviews your case, and you receive a written plan before you arrange any travel. Our specialised medical team decides whether the procedure is suitable for you and what can and cannot be achieved.
How Jelan Clinic handles a body contouring or BBL enquiry
Whether the procedure is suitable for you, which approach is appropriate, and what can and cannot be achieved are decided by our specialised medical team after reviewing your photographs and medical history — not by the coordinating team.
You receive the programme in writing — what it includes and what it does not, and the expected length of stay — before you book anything.
Every surgical procedure carries risks. These are explained to you by our specialised medical team before you decide, and no outcome is promised.
The follow-up channel stays open after you fly home, with reviews arranged as our specialised medical team directs.
A specialised medical team, per procedure
At Jelan Clinic, each cosmetic procedure is handled by a medical team specialised in that procedure. Our specialised medical team assesses your case and makes every medical decision, and your written plan sets out who is responsible for your file.
Planning the journey
The assessment begins from your home country, so you know the medical position before you arrange travel.
No return date is agreed before your condition is stable.
Staying with a companion can be arranged depending on the agreed programme; details are confirmed in writing.
Treatment abroad is generally not covered by domestic health arrangements. Confirm your own position with your insurer, and check entry requirements with the official authorities. We do not provide insurance or visa advice.
