When considering cosmetic surgery abroad, many people initially think of Turkey. However, more and more patients are turning their eyes to Poland as a safer, more affordable, and higher-quality alternative. From award-winning surgeons to superior aftercare and EU-level regulations, Poland is quickly emerging as the best place for cosmetic surgery in Europe.
If you're deciding between Turkey and Poland for procedures like a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, facelift, or rhinoplasty, this guide will show you why Poland is the superior choice. For a full breakdown of costs, check out our cosmetic surgery pricing guide.
Meet Your Surgeon: Dr. Adam Kalecinski
Europe Surgery is led by Dr. Adam Kalecinski, a world-renowned surgeon with over 26 years of experience, including 15 years in the UK. Fluent in English and known for treating celebrities from shows like Big Brother and Geordie Shore, Dr. Kalecinski offers both medical expertise and compassionate care. His clinic in Wroclaw, Poland has become a hub for British patients seeking high-quality cosmetic procedures with UK-style aftercare.
Why Poland Over Turkey?
1. Safety & Regulation
Poland, as an EU member, follows strict European medical safety laws. Clinics are regulated, surgeons are licensed, and aftercare is consistent with Western European standards. In contrast, Turkey has seen increasing reports of complications, including multiple UK government warnings and deaths linked to poorly regulated clinics. For peace of mind, choose a clinic within the EU.
2. Aftercare You Can Trust
Europe Surgery provides daily check-ups during your stay in Poland and even offers a UK aftercare clinic — something Turkey-based providers simply cannot match. Post-surgery support is crucial for your recovery and long-term results.
3. Lower Cost Without Sacrificing Quality
Surgery in Poland is not only safer — it's also cheaper. Compared to Turkey, procedures in Poland are often several hundred pounds less, with better accommodation and quicker flights. For example
Wroclaw, Poland, is only a 2-hour flight from the UK, with return tickets often as low as £100 via Ryanair or Wizzair. Unlike Turkey, you won’t face long-haul flight risks after surgery, such as deep vein thrombosis. Our clinic is just 10 minutes from Wroclaw airport and built to the highest European standards.
5. EU Health Card Coverage
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) are valid in Poland but not in Turkey. This provides added reassurance if anything goes wrong during your stay.
Celebrity-Approved & BBC-Endorsed
Our surgeon has performed procedures for celebrities and has even been featured by the BBC on the hit series My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. Europe Surgery has also received the prestigious Patient’s Choice Winner Award by Treatment Abroad in 2023.

“I had a facelift with Dr. Adam in Wroclaw. I was nervous about going abroad, but the care, the clinic, and the results were far better than anything I expected. And it cost half the price of the UK!” – Lisa, UK
“After a poor experience in Turkey, I came to Poland for revision surgery. Dr. Adam fixed everything. I wish I’d come here first!” – Claire, Birmingham
Final Thoughts: Choose Safety, Experience & Affordability

A top-tier, UK-trained surgeon
Lower surgery costs
Safer and quicker travel
EU healthcare coverage
Excellent aftercare
