A tummy tuck removes loose skin and repairs separated muscles after pregnancy or weight loss. Because recovery takes time, planning the stay matters as much as the price. This New City Clinic guide explains both.
How much does a tummy tuck cost in Istanbul?
The estimated package price for a tummy tuck at New City Clinic in Istanbul is €3,500. It covers the procedure in a licensed facility, the hospital stay where needed, hotel accommodation and airport transfers; pre-operative tests, coordination and interpreting are included according to the package. Flights are not included. The final written quote follows a free assessment of your photos, reports or images by a physician.
Mini or full tummy tuck?
A full tummy tuck treats skin above and below the navel and repairs the muscles along their length; the scar runs low from hip to hip. A mini tummy tuck treats only the area below the navel through a shorter scar. Liposuction of the flanks is often added. Your surgeon recommends the right option after examining you.
What to check before booking
Ask for the name of the hospital and check that it is licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, the full name and specialty of the doctor, and a written quote that lists hospital, doctor, tests, nights in hospital and hotel, transfers and interpreter. Be cautious with offers that cannot name the hospital, promise guaranteed results or ask for a deposit before a physician has seen your case.
Travelling from the UK
Direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and other UK airports take around four hours. Plan about 7–10 days in Istanbul so that your doctor can check you before the flight. You receive your reports in English for your GP, and a New City Clinic coordinator follows your recovery remotely once you are home.
