The Turkish Rug Market That’s Not About Carpets

EsteWorld is an institution. The cosmetic surgery mammoth has three specialized hospitals that perform operations ranging from hair, mustache and beard transplantation, to Botox, cosmetic surgery and dental whitening. EsteWorld clinic in Uskudar, a suburban neighborhood on Istanbul’s Asian side, houses a café that also serves as a waiting area. Inside, luggage sits in a corner next to a group of striking veiled women and their Michael Kors shopping bags. There is nothing surgical about the clinic. Instead, the compound is more reminiscent of a cosmetic surgery fairyland, where bald men magically walk out with newly implanted hair and women walk out with larger breasts.
