Plastic Surgery in Turkey from the USA & Canada: 2026 Prices and How It Works
There are direct and connecting flights to Istanbul from major cities in the United States and Canada. New City Clinic is a health-tourism organisation authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health: we arrange your treatment at licensed partner hospitals, where their specialist doctors operate, with a written quote, hotel, transfers, interpretation and complication insurance.
Why patients from North America consider Istanbul
When the journey is long, it helps to have everything organised in one package before you leave: hospital, hotel, transfers and a coordinator, with a written quote. The partner hospitals (Acıbadem, Medicana, Medipol, Medical Park and Biruni) are licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, and the operation is performed by their specialist surgeons. New City Clinic is registered with HealthTürkiye and is also a TÜRSAB-licensed travel agency; New City Clinic organises and coordinates your treatment and does not operate itself.

What the package includes
Surgery at a licensed partner hospital, your hospital stay, hotel accommodation, airport–hotel–hospital transfers, pre-operative tests and interpretation where specified, and compression garments where needed. Complication insurance is included in every package organised by New City Clinic; it is not an add-on. Its scope, limits and exclusions are given to you in writing with your quote and before surgery. Flights are not included. The exact contents are listed in your written quote.
Treatments we arrange
Cosmetic surgery of the face, breast and body; hair transplantation; dental treatment such as implants and smile design (priced after a review of your X-rays); weight-loss surgery; orthopaedics (knee and hip replacement, arthroscopy, spine surgery); and eye treatment (lens replacement, laser vision correction). Weight-loss surgery is usually considered with a BMI of 35 or more, or a BMI of 30–35 with an associated disease such as type 2 diabetes. The surgeon decides after examination and tests. IVF in Turkey is available only to married couples using their own eggs and sperm, as Turkish law requires. Oncology and organ transplantation have no listed prices: the plan follows a review of your reports.
How long to stay in Istanbul before flying home
The usual stay in Istanbul is 3–4 days for a hair transplant, 3–5 days for dental implants, 5–7 days for breast augmentation, Lipo 360 or a gastric sleeve, 6–8 days for a BBL, 7–10 days for rhinoplasty, a tummy tuck or a mommy makeover, 8–10 days for a facelift, and 10–14 days or more for joint replacement. Because the flight home is long, plan to stay the full recommended period and fly only after your surgeon has seen you and cleared you to travel. On the plane, get up and walk regularly, drink water and wear compression garments or stockings if you are told to.
Insurance and your doctor at home
US and Canadian health insurers usually do not cover elective surgery abroad; ask your insurer before you travel. Complication insurance is included in every package organised by New City Clinic; it is not an add-on. Its scope, limits and exclusions are given to you in writing with your quote and before surgery. Tell your family doctor or primary care physician about your plans. You receive your reports in English, and follow-up continues by photos and video calls after you are home.
Travel and documents
Check the visa or e-visa requirements for your passport on the official website evisa.gov.tr before you book. Once your treatment is planned, the hospital confirms your appointment in writing. There are direct and connecting flights to Istanbul from major North American cities; check schedules with the airlines. A companion is welcome, and their accommodation and transfers can be arranged too.
How it works
Send your photos, any reports and your questions on WhatsApp. A surgeon reviews them free of charge, you usually receive a written quote within 24 hours, we organise your stay, and we keep in touch after you are home.
