SOURCE OF HAPPINESS AND MOTIVATION
Turkish Health Tourism Association TÜSATDER President Dr. linked this orientation to an ‘effort to be happy’ while suggesting there had been an increase in some operations:
March, April and may, especially because we live in an extroverted world, people are bored… aesthetics is also one of the most enduring practices that make people happy and motivated. Think about it like this, 10 minutes when you eat, 2 days when you go on vacation, 2 months when you get married, you are happy; but when you have an aesthetic, you are happy when you look! Joke aside, people have embarked on actions to be beautiful and happy, and the normally low summer months have been very busy.”
“There have been serious demands on Botox, fillers and skin care in Antalya Turkey, a number of procedures that will rejuvenate the skin,” said Dr. “faces were closely tasked at video meetings, as well as for their problems, such as Under-Eye Bags, eyelid miscarriage, scoop ear and nose, which made them unhappy. In addition, breast implantation and butt silicone operations are also among the increased operations,” he said.
“People do not come out comfortably in the atmosphere of Covid-19 because those who pay attention to the warnings in the summer also spent the recovery processes after the operation more comfortable with the thought of ‘I am already home’. In the same way, in the hair transplantation sector, when foreign patients could not come during the closure period, the demand increased because people could live at home, perhaps taking annual leave under normal conditions and undergoing the healing process,” he said.
President of the Turkish Health Tourism Association TÜSATDER Dr. added, “A doctor who is also the president of the Turkish Health Tourism Association TÜSATDER May July June August September and October in Europe increased restrictions on both hair transplantation and aesthetic operations, although there was a tidal process in May and June as a result of the worldwide expansion of the size of the industry, was said of the pandemic’s impact on the sector. This in turn, was a relatively pleasing development for the sector.”

LOSSES DWINDLED OVER SUMMER PERIOD 2020
“Although the summer period is not actually a busy period for patients from abroad-under normal circumstances-this year there was an increase of 15-20 percent compared to last year,” he said, “but if we add spring or even June, there was a big gap and 35 percent of annual turnover was lost. In the first period of summer and autumn, the loss decreased to 20-25 percent,” he said.

NOT NECESSARILY, BUT THERE IS A DEFINITE INCREASE IN DEMAND
Turkey Medicals member and Turkey Doctor in private hospital Plastic and reconstructive surgery specialist Op. Dr. pandemic, while noting that it is difficult to say that the process of some operations, “us in this process is a change in demand, or certain operations that have gained I can’t say. ’ We used to do a lot of nose operations, but now we’re doing a tummy tuck, ‘ we didn’t come across a situation like this. But there is definitely an increase in demand,” he said.
Plastic reconstructive surgery specialist Op. Dr. “I couldn’t take an annual leave from work; now that I’m available, I had a thought in this direction, let me take it out of the way,” he said, referring to the conditions caused by the corona virus pandemic as an opportunity for some people to see such operations.
Op. Dr. “For example, most people can feel strange even when they hear their own voice on the record, said of the effect of staying at home. In the same way, people who do not look at themselves every day may be caught up in thoughts such as ‘the hair is also gone…’ or ‘why does my nose look so big’ during this period. However, I don’t have any data to prove it. But this, of course, has been a factor,” he said.
Plastic and reconstructive surgery specialist Op. Dr. said “Plastic and reconstructive surgery specialist Op. Dr., on the other hand, suggests that there is a decrease in aesthetic operations in Turkey and around the world compared to normal. However, ” people are also dealing with themselves during this period when they stay at home. There is a trend…,” Op. Dr. said, “but this has not translated into an increase in operations. There is also a decrease in aesthetic operations around the world,” he said, and “but at the point of thought, someone who didn’t think about plastic surgery in the past put this idea in his mind because he was more confronted with himself during this period when he was sitting at home. But this has not turned into an operation. That’s what we see on the field,” he said.

THE TRUTH OF THE TURKISH ECONOMIC CRISIS
Op, which also underlines the recession predicted by the impact of a pandemic around the world and the ongoing economic crisis in Turkey. Dr., ” there is an economic crisis, people are concerned, they do not know the course of money in our country, they want to protect their investments at least… it is not necessary to be in this sector to see that there is a decline in our sector. It is difficult to give accurate data, but I would say that there has been a reduction of at least 25-30 percent. It does not even need to mention that there has been a sharp decline in international patients due to the pandemic process. In patients living in our country, we see that the economic crisis is effective in decisions in this direction,” he said.
