How Much Does Jaw Implant Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Jaw implants in Turkey typically cost from AUD $3,517 to AUD $6,330. The final price varies based on the implant material, the surgeon's experience, and whether the procedure is combined with other facial contouring. Australians save approximately 68% compared to local private costs, which average around AUD $15,615. Packages in medical hubs like Istanbul and Antalya generally include surgery, 3D CT scans, 5-star accommodation, and VIP transfers.

  • Chin implants (silicone): typically 20–30% less than Medpor or custom PEEK options.
  • Custom PEEK implants: often cost significantly more due to being tailor-made for specific bone structures.
  • Combined procedures: adding rhinoplasty or fat grafting typically increases the total cost by 30–50%.
  • Premium clinic settings: facilities with JCI accreditation, like Memorial Bahçelievler, may charge more for high-end care.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Australian patients can find exceptional value by choosing surgeons with international ties. Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez, for example, trained at the Mayo Clinic in the USA and holds a European board diploma. Other specialists, like Dr. Mira Kanal, even hold an MSc from the University of Sydney. Choosing such experts ensures a high standard of care while still achieving significant savings over Australian private hospital fees.

Very happy with the procedure, doctor, staff, translator and hospital
Super Very happy with the procedure, doctor, staff, translator and hospital. The only complaint I have is about the app bookmed, because there were translation errors and some misunderstanding, so the hospital and doctor charged me 1000 (one thousand euros) more for the intervention that I had requested, and that the hospital and boerdonam took pity and charged me less than what would be the real value, thanks to the doctor and hospital, but beware of the translation or interpreter of the app bookmed.
Doctors and staff
The translation and misinterpretation of the bookmed app, for this mistake I had to pay more than agreed.
About Bookimed service
Misinterpretation or misinterpretation. And I was left with a cost of 1000 thousand euros more than I should have. I had to assume this cost from the one who caused it, but nothing was said about it, they just said they were going to look into it and nothing more was said. On the subject, if at least they told me that I would be responsible for half of the extra cost due to an error, but they have not said anything.

My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence
If you're thinking about this, my main piece of advice is to be mentally ready for the procedure, as it can be overwhelming. I’m in early recovery from my breast reduction and lift, and I am feeling better than expected. My surgeon was great; he was honest about what results were realistic for my body and clearly explained all the risks, which gave me confidence. The clinic team was easy to reach and stayed in touch. Do be aware of some additional expenses – I had a prescription that cost extra at the pharmacy. A few practical tips: bring a spare compression garment, cotton t-shirts to wear underneath it, and your own snacks. Also, having my mum with me has been pivotal to my recovery, so I'd suggest bringing a companion if you can.
The co-ordinator at Bookimed, Winnington was brilliant. No matter how many questions I had he was able to answer them promptly and with one small hiccup from the hospital Winnington went out of his way to try and package a new procedure for me. My co-ordinator Eyyub at Optimed hospital was outstanding. The hospital was great, the staff on my floor were fantastic. We used goggle translate when the co-ordinator wasn’t with us if we came up against a language barrier but that was not very often. I was cared for before and after my surgery by the nursing staff who could not do enough for myself and my mum. I 10000000% recommend Bookimed & Optimed hospital
Post op instructions could be better. I have suggested to them to put together a general guide of what to do and not to do and for however long. What’s normal and if something doesn’t feel right who to contact etc. I think this will greatly help international patients and help the hospital co-ordinators from being hounded with a load of questions from several patients all at once. Peace of mind for the patient and a little more support for the co-ordinator. The food is catered for Turkish patients and can be hard for international patients to eat. Again, I have suggested to them to try having a small box of fibrous cereal available at breakfast time and instead of a full meal at lunch time something simple like sandwiches or rolls/bagels/baked goods. Dinner was usually ok and we were able to eat most of that but our daytime diet is a little less than they were providing and there was a lot of food waste which they could minimise & use the money elsewhere if there was a cater to international patients diets.

The single positive aspect of this entire process was the staff. They were wonderful. Unfortunately, my experience with the surgeon and the clinic itself was profoundly disappointing, and I'm very concerned with how my otoplasty recovery is going so far. The gap between the supportive staff and the actual medical treatment I received is hard to understand. The facility did not meet my expectations for a medical setting in any capacity. Based on this, I would absolutely not recommend this clinic to anyone considering a similar procedure.
Do not go with bookimed.com. I didn’t liked from the moment when I arrived to airport anyone wasn’t there to pick me up, you know when you arrive any place you have no internet and you can’t make any phone calls or text so night mares already start.

The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent
The possibility of breathing issues was my primary concern going into this. And honestly, that has been the biggest challenge in recovery so far, with one nostril constantly feeling stuffed. My surgeon performed a closed rhinoplasty. Everything is still very swollen along the bridge, but I can already see that my nose tip appears more refined, which is a great sign. The surgeon and the clinic itself were excellent. The general staff were great, though post-op instructions could have been a bit more explicit. I'm satisfied with the medical care I received so far
Dr. Erol is an amazing doctor, his work was amazing he truly listened to my request and expectations and he was really patient and reassuring. The medical assistance team as well, they really took good care of me, they were present when i needed them.

I loved the coordinator / interpreter. Totally made me feel at ease and comfortable in what I would only describe as an anxious situation especially with the language barrier and the unknown of where you are going. The surgeon himself was wonderful and even had a coffee with me before hand which made me feel completely at ease.

The lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement
My biggest worry was how the final result would look, and whether it would be worth the recovery. Even though I’m still quite puffy around my jawline, the lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement. That part is a huge relief. The staff and clinic environment were excellent from start to finish. Turning my head feels slightly tight but okay. The surgeon did good work, though I rated them a 4/5 as I felt some communication could have been a bit more compassionate after surgery.The most challenging part has absolutely been sleeping elevated. That's no fun. I would still recommend this clinic.
The Bookined coordinator and the Quartz Clinic staff were fantastic: supportive, helpful, compassionate. All updates were communicated to me promptly. The hotel booked for me is really excellent, with smooth transfers and kind drivers. Spot on!
I didn't give the doctor 5 stars because she made me cry the day after surgery. She could adopt a different approach towards me after surgery, with more understanding and compassion, especially since I was there on my own and at the end of the day, she's received all the information required, it doesn't matter from whom. The stress has a significant impact on me. Aside from that, she was great.

The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted
The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted. It’s a great feeling. My goal was a more defined tip, and that's precisely what the surgeon delivered using an open approach. The whole process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely caring. The most difficult part of recovery so far is just having to sleep upright, which is temporary. A huge bonus is that I am breathing perfectly through my nose already. I am so grateful for the surgeon's skill and the clear communication from the team.

the care provided by the surgeon and all the staff was impeccable
If you’re thinking about arm liposuction, I’d advise you to prepare for the recovery. My surgeon used the VASER ultrasound technique and, although it’s still early days, my compression sleeves are already too loose. My mobility is limited; my biggest difficulty right now is reaching for things above my head. It’s also important to be patient with the results, because when I look in the mirror today, I can see that one arm looks different from the other, and I’m confident that will even out over time. Despite these minor aspects of the process, the care provided by the surgeon and all the staff was impeccable. I would recommend the clinic.

I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter
I felt very secure and taken care of through the entire experience. All of my inquiries were answered very promptly by both the bookiemed coordinator, the assistant, and my doctor (Dr. C Altindąg), is very experienced and talked me through what to expect and analyzed my nose very thoroughly. I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter (I had a severe deviated septum and other complications from a past surgery that he identified and corrected including a mirgrated graft and a droopy tip). I'm still quite swollen but look forward to seeing final results in a few months.

I was so impressed by the results
If you're considering this, here is my honest take on the experience so far. My surgeon did excellent work on my extended tummy tuck with lipo and muscle repair; he was present during recovery checks and clearly explained the scar placement. I’m feeling better than expected early on. The financial aspect was a major factor. If I had the same procedure done in the US, I would have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results. All transfers were provided and there were no additional expenses. However, be aware that some staff speak little English, and I frequently smelled cigarette smoke in the corridor. I also had to do my own online research for post-op directions. My coordinating physician did reach out while I was in the hospital and back at the hotel. My advice: only travel alone if you are very strong emotionally and physically, as it was a challenging experience. It felt like another c-section! Pack a good hospital bag with a phone charger and universal adaptor, toiletries, books, and a neck pillow. Photo of me is my Before. I'm one week in recovery, so no After photo yet.
My surgeon did excellent work and the nursing staff kept close post-op care of me. I appreciated all of the provided transfers to and from the airport and between the clinic and my hotel. The whole experience from start to finish was a great value for the price. If I had the same procedure done in the US (tummy tuck, abdominal muscle repair, and lipo), I have spent close to $20k. I spent a fraction of that in Istanbul and I was so impressed by the results one week after surgery.
Please be aware that some of the medical staff do not speak much or any English, so they provide support rather silently. Turkish people are also fairly serious, so while efficient and thorough, I was not coddled or babied. Also, there's also smoking allowed in the nurses' lounge or illegal smoking in the stairwell because I frequently smelled smoke in the corridor outside my recovery room while completing my post-op walking. Lastly, I would recommend the clinical staff provide more post-op directions for safe and expedient recovery. Everything I've learned was from my own online research.

The surgeon and staff were brilliant and supportive throughout
My biggest worry was ending up with an unnatural shape, but the surgeon’s approach and clear communication completely put me at ease. Right now, things still look a little patchy as about half the transplanted hairs have fallen out, which I was told to expect during this early stage of healing. It’s a process. The biggest challenge has honestly been a personal one: just remembering to avoid touching them! The surgeon and staff were brilliant and supportive throughout. While the clinic facilities were fine, the personal care from the team made all the difference. I'm very satisfied with my choice.

My surgeon, Dr
My surgeon, Dr. Ergin Er, was fantastic and I would highly recommend him—he was honest about realistic results and explained the scar placement clearly before my 360 VASER lipo and full tummy tuck with muscle repair. Having seen my scar it looks perfect so far. There were no additional expenses on top of what I paid. The nurses were wonderfully friendly and the clinic food was lovely - they even had food for my friend who came with me! The clinic stayed in touch constantly and provided a clear aftercare guide, making it easy to know what to do. While there was a slight language barrier with some nurses, it was never a problem as they used translation apps to communicate. My advice: don’t bring many clothes - you won’t need them, but do bring comfy shoes and clothes with pockets for your two drains. And make sure to get up and walk around as it aids healing and you will feel better.
I had a 360° VASER liposuction procedure, tummy tuck and abdominal muscle repair, and overall I’ve had a really positive experience from start to finish\. From the very beginning, Bookimed answered every question I had and were incredibly helpful\. No matter what time I messaged, someone was always there to answer my queries and put my mind at ease\. The transfers between the airport, hotel and hospital were excellent, and the instructions for where to go and what to expect were very clear\. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast each morning was lovely\. My coordinator, Ege, was absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process\. He was always at the end of a message whenever I needed him, kept in constant contact, explained everything clearly, and was always able to reassure me whenever I felt anxious\. At the hospital, I met the anaesthesiologist, who was kind, professional and explained everything clearly\. My surgeon, Dr Ergin Er, was equally reassuring\. He carefully went through the procedure with me, completed all of the markings and made sure I understood what would happen before surgery\. I’ll admit I became quite emotional as I was being taken down to theatre, but the nurses were incredibly kind\. They held my hand, comforted me and made me feel safe, which meant a great deal\. When I woke up after surgery, I was looked after wonderfully\. The nursing staff were attentive throughout my recovery and were always there to help whenever I needed anything\. Even the hospital food was surprisingly lovely\. My mum stayed with me throughout my time in hospital, and she was provided with meals as well, which was a lovely touch\. Before we were discharged, we were both even given breakfast and lunch, which was much appreciated\. There was occasionally a slight language barrier with some of the nurses, but it was never a real problem\. Most spoke good English, and anyone who wasn’t confident simply used a translation app, so communication was always possible\. Throughout my recovery, Ege continued to check in regularly and made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do at each stage\. Although I’m still healing, my scar already looks very neat and tidy, and from everything I’ve seen so far, I’m extremely pleased with the results of my surgery\. I would happily recommend Bookimed, Ege, Istanbul Aesthetics Centre and Dr Ergin Er to anyone considering cosmetic surgery in Turkey\. Travelling abroad for surgery is a big decision, but I felt supported every step of the way and wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again.
Genuinely I can’t think of anything. It’s such a massive decision and the whole time I had full confidence in what was happening and the staff.

The surgeon did an excellent job – the incisions were made using the traditional method and are now hidden in the natural folds of the skin
I was worried that the scars from the upper and lower eyelid surgery would be noticeable. Fortunately, the surgeon did an excellent job – the incisions were made using the traditional method and are now hidden in the natural folds of the skin. I have no complaints about him whatsoever. However, the overall impression was greatly marred by the clinic itself, where the conditions were unsatisfactory. Recovery is still ongoing. My eyes are still swollen, and I’ve noticed that when I smile, one side looks slightly different. I hope this will pass. The main advice I would give to anyone considering this procedure is to prepare thoroughly for the period before and after the operation.

But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts
I liked everything overall. Initially, I was very afraid, starting with the flight to another country, the transfer to the hotel and the operation itself. But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts. 5 hours after the operation I returned to the hotel. Which is also very good because the hospital ward is the worst for me. Exactly after a week I took off the splint, my nose was still swollen. The nose is proportional to my face. When the swelling goes down it will be smaller

Right now, I am feeling better than expected
I remember seeing the computer imaging of my new nose during the consultation and feeling confident. My surgeon was very honest about what was realistic, and I appreciated that he personally handled everything from that first meeting to the surgery itself. He performed an open rhinoplasty to reshape my bridge and tip. Right now, I am feeling better than expected. The clinic staff has been great with follow-up; they've stayed in touch, are easy to reach, and gave me a clear aftercare guide. It was also reassuring that there were no additional expenses. If you're wondering what to bring, don't worry—they prepare you for everything, and nothing was missing for me.
Everything was wonderful, we are very satisfied, everyone was helpful and very kind and the results are the best.

FAQ about Jaw Implant in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Are jaw implants in Turkey safe for Australian patients?

Jaw implants in Turkey are safe for Australian patients when performed by specialists in JCI-accredited hospitals. Safety relies on choosing surgeons with EBOPRAS or ISAPS credentials. Leading Turkish clinics serve thousands of international patients annually. They offer specialised maxillofacial techniques and organised follow-up for those returning home.

  • Surgeon credentials: Many specialists, like Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez, hold EBOPRAS certification and international fellowship training.
  • Hospital standards: Facilities like Memorial Şişli Hospital and Hisar Hospital Intercontinental maintain JCI accreditation for safety.
  • Specialised care: Centres for maxillofacial surgery use premium materials like Straumann for implant precision.
  • Australian relevance: Some clinics, including Quartz Hospital, have specific experience treating patients from Australia.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Bookimed data shows that surgeons with over 4,500 procedures maintain higher reliability. This includes surgeons at Vanity Cosmetic Surgery Hospital. Patients should choose clinics that offer online pre-operative consultations. This allows the surgeon to review facial scans before travel. It also reduces the risk of mid-trip surgical changes.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey report high satisfaction with medical staff, professional translators, and hospital facilities. They suggest confirming all fees in writing beforehand for a smooth administrative experience.

What is the typical clinical process for undergoing a jaw implant in Turkey?

The clinical process for a jaw implant in Turkey follows a structured timeline. It involves remote 3D planning and a hospital stay of 1 to 2 nights. Patients then have a recovery period of 7 to 10 days. Surgeons in JCI-accredited facilities use general anaesthesia and internal incisions to avoid visible scarring.

  • Remote planning: Patients provide facial measurements or scans for 3D simulation before arriving in Turkey.
  • Clinical assessment: Exams at clinics like Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital confirm the custom implant design.
  • Surgical insertion: Specialists place silicone or custom materials through internal incisions during a 1–2 hour procedure.
  • Recovery period: Patients stay in-country for several days for swelling control and a final review.

Bookimed Expert Insight: The term jaw implant often covers procedures like genioplasty or mandibular angle implants. Bookimed data shows that leading surgeons, such as Dr Furkan Erol Karabekmez, often recommend sliding genioplasty. This technique repositions the natural bone instead of using a synthetic implant.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey find the clinical timetable efficient. Surgery often occurs the day after arrival. They recommend building in extra days to manage swelling. Patients should also confirm all costs in writing before the operation.

What is included in a jaw implant package for international patients in Turkey?

Jaw implant packages in Turkey provide all-inclusive surgical care starting from $2,500. These bundles typically include the implant device, surgeon fees, general anaesthesia, and private hospital stays. Patients also receive VIP transfers and 4-star or 5-star hotel accommodation for recovery in Istanbul or Antalya.

  • Surgical fees: Covers the primary surgeon, anaesthetist, theatre costs, and all medical staff.
  • Implant devices: Includes high-quality biocompatible materials from brands like Straumann or Nobel Biocare.
  • Hospital stay: Typically provides 1 night in a private room with full nursing care.
  • Hotel accommodation: Often bundles 2–6 nights in premium 4-star or 5-star hotels for recovery.
  • Logistics support: Includes VIP airport-clinic-hotel transfers and a dedicated multilingual patient coordinator or interpreter.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Bookimed data shows several Turkish oral surgeons hold Australian qualifications. For example, Dr Mira Kanal at Value Dent Clinic holds an MSc from the University of Sydney. Choosing a surgeon with Australian training can bridge communication gaps and match clinical standards at home.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey report high satisfaction with hospital staff and translators. Many suggest confirming hotel nights and medication costs beforehand for the easiest experience possible.

How long should an Australian traveller stay in Turkey for jaw implant recovery?

Australian travellers should plan to stay in Turkey for 7 to 10 days for jaw implant recovery. This allows time for initial swelling to subside. It also lets surgeons remove stitches and conduct post-operative checks before the long flight home.

  • Clinical follow-up: Surgeons perform early checks to confirm implants are stable and healing.
  • Flying safety: Staying 10 days helps manage facial swelling and pressure before 20-hour return flights.
  • Complex procedures: Invasive surgeries like sliding genioplasty or bone grafting might require extra buffer days.
  • Initial stabilisation: Patients must be able to eat and drink comfortably before leaving Turkey.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many centres in Istanbul, such as Dentavie Istanbul Dental Clinic, specialise in care for Australian patients. Choosing a surgeon like Dr Mira Kanal, who holds an MSc in Oral Surgery from the University of Sydney, can bridge the gap between Turkish expertise and Australian clinical standards.

Patient Consensus: Patients recommend staying at least 1–2 weeks in Turkey to let pain and swelling settle. They find that buffer days and translator support at hospitals make immediate recovery and return travel much easier.

Which Turkish cities are considered the best for jaw implant surgery?

Istanbul and Antalya are the top Turkish cities for jaw implant surgery. They have the highest concentration of JCI-accredited hospitals and specialised maxillofacial surgeons. Istanbul serves as the primary medical hub. Antalya offers surgical care with resort-style recovery environments.

  • Istanbul expertise: Home to 390+ clinics with centres like Memorial Bahçelievler Hospital holding JCI-accreditation.
  • Antalya specialists: Features experts like Prof. Cemal Firat at Medical Park Antalya Hospital Complex.
  • Ankara credentials: Professor-level surgeons like Dr. Furkan Erol Karabekmez provide reconstructive jaw surgery.
  • Clinic choices: Istanbul facilities like Dentavie and Quartz Hospital specifically cater to Australian travellers.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul offers the most choice. However, Antalya is the strongest alternative for complex cases requiring long-term recovery. Medical Park Antalya is the largest private hospital in the Mediterranean region. Their dedicated international health authorisation supports higher standards for those travelling from Australia.

Patient Consensus: Istanbul is the top choice for surgery due to the volume of clinics. Patients in Turkey appreciate the restful recovery in Antalya and the support from translators and staff.
