All-on-6 · Istanbul

James H.Full Mouth Dental Implants

London, UK

£14,000 saved

7-day trip

Saved over £12,000 on full mouth dental implants compared to UK quotes.

I had been putting off getting dental implants for years because of the cost here in the UK. My dentist quoted me nearly £28,000 for full-mouth restoration — I simply couldn't afford it. A colleague mentioned she'd had her implants done in Istanbul through NexWell, so I looked into it. The entire process was managed from the first message. I received clinic options, surgeon context, and a realistic cost breakdown within 24 hours. The total cost including travel and a five-night stay was under £14,000. The clinic in Istanbul was spotless — better than most practices I've been to in London. The surgeon explained every step. I flew home with a full set of permanent Straumann implants. Six months later, still perfect.
Rhinoplasty · Istanbul

Sophie M.Rhinoplasty

Munich, Germany

€5,000+ saved

8-day trip

Rhinoplasty results exceeded expectations at under half the German price.

I had been researching rhinoplasty for two years. In Germany, quotes ranged from €8,000 to €14,000 and the waiting lists were long. A friend had had a procedure done in Istanbul and couldn't stop talking about the result. I contacted NexWell, explained what I was looking for — a subtle refinement, not a dramatic change — and they matched me with a surgeon who specialised in exactly that. The coordination was seamless: they arranged transfers, hotel, and pre-op consultation timing so nothing overlapped. The total cost was €3,800. The result was better than any of the before/after photos I'd obsessed over for two years. I was nervous about going abroad for surgery. I shouldn't have been.
IVF · Istanbul

Emma & David R.IVF Treatment

Manchester, UK

£4,800 saved vs UK

14-day programme

Successful pregnancy after three failed IVF cycles in the UK.

After three failed IVF cycles in the UK — costing us nearly £20,000 in total — we were exhausted emotionally and financially. Our consultant was kind but had no answers for why the cycles weren't working. A friend suggested we consider a clinic in Turkey and mentioned NexWell. I was sceptical at first. A fertility clinic abroad felt like a risk. But NexWell was transparent: they explained which clinics had specific experience with cases like ours, what the protocol differences were, and what the realistic outcomes might be. The coordination — including timing around my cycle — was handled with more care than I'd experienced in the UK. The total cost for the cycle including accommodation was £4,200. We are now expecting our first child. We will be forever grateful.
Gastric Sleeve · Istanbul

Michael T.Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Dublin, Ireland

€8,000 saved

7-day stay

Gastric sleeve at a JCI-accredited hospital, coordinated end to end.

I had been trying to get bariatric surgery approved through the Irish health service for years. Private quotes in Ireland were €12,000 to €16,000 — beyond my reach. My GP mentioned medical tourism as a real option. I found NexWell and was impressed by how the quote process worked: they didn't just send a price list, they reviewed my medical history, asked about my BMI and previous weight loss attempts, and came back with a specific clinic recommendation and a why. The clinic they matched me with had a dedicated bariatric unit — not just a general surgical team doing the occasional sleeve. The surgery went without complications. I stayed seven days, flew home, and have now lost 42kg. The NexWell coordinator checked in with me three times in the first month after I returned.
Veneers · Istanbul

Anna K.Hollywood Smile (Veneers)

Helsinki, Finland

€14,000+ saved

6-day trip

16 porcelain veneers and a complete smile makeover in one trip.

In Finland, 16 porcelain veneers would have cost me somewhere between €18,000 and €22,000. I asked NexWell to help me understand what was realistic in Turkey — not just the cheapest option, but a clinic that would handle something this visible properly. They matched me with a cosmetic dentist in Istanbul who had specific experience with full-arch veneer cases and showed me relevant work. The consultation process was thorough — more thorough than I expected. We discussed shade, shape, and alignment in detail before I travelled. The result is exactly what I asked for. The trip was six days and the total cost was €4,200 including flights and hotel. I would do it again without hesitation.
FUE Transplant · Istanbul

Lucas B.Hair Transplant (FUE)

Amsterdam, Netherlands

€5,000+ saved

5-day trip

4,200 grafts FUE hair transplant — natural result, coordinated travel.

I had been losing hair since my late twenties and finally decided to do something about it at 34. In the Netherlands, consultations at reputable clinics gave me quotes ranging from €7,000 to €12,000 for the number of grafts I needed. I looked at Istanbul as an option but was overwhelmed by the number of clinics and conflicting reviews. NexWell cut through that: they explained which clinics had specific strength in FUE cases of my complexity and why. The whole trip was one day in clinic and four days recovery. The clinic handled the design and graft count more carefully than I expected. Twelve months later the result is exactly what I hoped for — natural density, no obvious transplant look. Total cost including flights and hotel: €2,800.
