Why Are Prices So Different?
- Labor costs: Wages vary significantly by country
- Overhead: Rent, equipment, and operating costs differ
- Competition: More clinics = lower prices (Turkey effect)
- Regulations: Stricter requirements add costs
- Volume: High-volume clinics can charge less per procedure
Is Cheaper Always Worse?
Not necessarily. Turkey's low prices come from competition and volume, not inferior quality. Many Turkish surgeons have performed thousands of procedures and achieve excellent results.
However, very cheap options (under $1,500 in any country) should raise red flags. Quality clinics have real costs they cannot cut below certain thresholds.
