Face of the Future: How Turkey Became the Silicon Valley of Plastic Surgery + Complimentary Gourmet Cuisine Сatering Join us as Luxxera unpacks how Turkey became the “Silicon Valley of Plastic Surgery” and what it means for the future of healthcare. Bonus! Enjoy an elegant ambiance, gourmet cuisine catering, and the company of founders, operators, creators, and investors shaping the future of wellness and aesthetics. Plastic surgery and medical tourism are rapidly expanding $100 billion global industries, with Turkey, Brazil, and South Korea leading the charge, (Turkey alone receives 1.5 million incoming medical visitors a year). Patients from the U.S. and U.K. are abandoning year-long wait times and overpriced medical systems in their home countries and flying thousands of miles for plastic surgery and healthcare that are offered at a mere fraction of the cost. At this Tech Week conversation, we will dive into the forces shaping this shift: cutthroat prices, Instagram-fueled influencers, aggressive marketing, and minimal regulation. The allure of quickly delivered care in weeks (Instead of months or years) is undeniable, but there are still risks. Patients chasing life-changing outcomes might get everything they ever wanted or… end up with disastrous and debilitating results. From botched jobs that make global headlines to billion-dollar opportunities for the next wave of digital health marketplaces, this is where medicine, technology, and culture intersect. This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
