Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most, from first message to aftercare. Answers are general; your doctor covers your own health and suitability.
Getting started
Who is MYK Healthroutes?
MYK Healthroutes is a licensed health tourism agency in Antalya, Türkiye, coordinating bariatric, plastic, dental, hair and dermatology treatment for international patients. We are not a hospital. Independent, licensed doctors carry out treatment at partner hospitals and clinics.
How do I start?
Message us on WhatsApp or use our contact form. A coordinator explains the process and sends a health questionnaire for the doctor's pre-assessment.
Is MYK Healthroutes licensed?
Yes. We hold an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Ministry of Health, Türkiye, and a Group A Travel Agency Licence (no. 17491) from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Ask us for a copy of either at any time.
Who decides if I am suitable for treatment?
Your doctor, with a first view at pre-assessment and a final decision at your examination in Antalya. Some people are advised not to go ahead.
Treatment and safety
Who performs my treatment?
An independent, licensed specialist at a partner hospital or clinic. Your written plan names both. See our doctors.
What are the risks of surgery?
Bleeding, infection, blood clots and reactions to anaesthesia, plus risks specific to each procedure. Your surgeon explains them before you consent.
Will I meet my surgeon before the operation?
Yes, in person in Antalya. You sign consent only once your questions are answered.
What happens if there is a complication?
Your treating doctor and the hospital manage your care. We handle communication and help with extra hotel nights or travel changes. See how we work.
Travel and stay
How long will I need to stay in Antalya?
It varies. A gastric sleeve package, for example, includes 2 hospital nights and 7 hotel nights. See how long to stay in Antalya after surgery.
Can someone travel with me?
Yes, and for surgery we recommend it. Tell us early so we can include them in hotel and transfer plans.
Do I need travel insurance?
We strongly advise it. Choose cover for treatment abroad and its complications; standard policies often exclude these.
Costs
Why don't you show prices online?
Every quote depends on your procedure, health, length of stay and tests, so you get a personalised quote in writing after pre-assessment. See prices.
What is included in a package?
All packages include 2-year aftercare and VIP airport transfers. Most also cover hospital nights, hotel nights where listed, a coordinator and medications during your stay.
After you return
What aftercare do I receive?
2 years. Your coordinator keeps in touch on WhatsApp and passes medical questions to your doctor, who may ask for photos.
Should I tell my GP?
Yes. Your GP can support you at home, so share your English medical report when you are back.
What should I do in an emergency at home?
Call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital. Then tell your coordinator, who informs your treating doctor.
