The dark side of Turkey's beauty industry | DW Documentary

Be it for nose jobs, hair transplants, or liposuction: Turkey's beauty industry is booming. Medical tourists from abroad are being attracted by clinics and agencies offering low prices. In countries like the UK, the same procedures often cost double, or triple the price. Cases of botched procedures and even deaths are on the rise, though. Victims and their relatives are demanding accountability.
