Some even promise free tours of cities like Istanbul and the choice to take another guest at no additional cost, as well as 24/7 emergency lines, overnight nurse visits and even massages Liposuction that offers to remove up to 15 litres of fat, Brazilian butt lifts, eye colour-changing laser treatments and hymenoplasties are all offered in clinics across Turkey Dawn Knight, a prolific campaigner against poor cosmetic surgery, is one of those urging the Government to immediately crack down on the tactics. Labour MP Kevan Jones is another urging action, saying the Government must act to bring 'cowboy surgeons' to account and that 'anybody considering cosmetic surgery should not go to Turkey'. One Istanbul-based surgery has partnered with British OnlyFans model Phoebe Bartlett to offer her followers a £100 discount code Experts say TOWIE icons have helped fuel the ever-growing trend for cut-price cosmetic surgery abroad.
