Why patients from the UK and Ireland choose Istanbul

Istanbul is about four hours from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Dublin, and the partner hospitals are licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health for international patients. New City Clinic organises the assessment, hospital, surgeon, transfers, hotel and interpreting, and provides written plans and itemised quotes before you travel. Before deciding on any clinic abroad, check the authorisation documents, the named hospital and surgeon and what follow-up is included.

Recovery

Recovery depends on the procedure. Most patients return to daily life within 1–2 weeks; swelling settles fully and the final result appears over several months.

What you should know

  • Temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness
  • Risk of infection and bleeding, as with any surgical procedure
  • Results vary with individual anatomy and healing

Every medical procedure carries risk. Your physician will explain the risks specific to you during your examination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery cost in Turkey?

The cost depends on the scope of the procedure, the technique, the hospital and your accommodation choice. After a physician's assessment, New City Clinic sends you an itemised written quote; getting a quote is free.

What does an all-inclusive Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery package include?

Your quote lists the hospital and physician fees, required tests, check-ups, airport–hotel–hospital transfers and, on request, hotel accommodation as separate items. Flights are not included; we can help organise them if you wish.

How long does Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery take?

The procedure takes about 1–5 hours. Anaesthesia: general anaesthesia.

How long do I stay in hospital and in Turkey?

Hospital stay: 1–2 nights. The total stay in Türkiye is usually planned at 7–10 days; your physician confirms the exact length at your check-up.

Is Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery in Turkey safe? What are the risks?

Every medical procedure carries risk: infection, bleeding, anaesthesia-related problems and healing that differs from what was expected are the main ones. To reduce risk, the procedure is performed by a specialist at a licensed hospital after pre-operative tests. Your physician explains the risks specific to you at your examination.

When can I go back to work and exercise?

Desk work is usually possible within 14 days and sport after 6 weeks. These times vary from person to person.

Will there be scars?

Hidden in natural creases and areas covered by clothing. Scars are noticeable in the first months and fade with time; how they heal depends on your skin.

When will I see the result?

The first change is visible as swelling settles; the final result appears in about 6 months. Results vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.

Can I see before and after photos?

Out of respect for patient privacy and under healthcare regulations, patient photos are shared only with the patient's consent. In your consultation the physician explains what is realistic in your case.

How do I choose the best clinic for Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery in Istanbul?

There is no single “best clinic” for everyone; for a safe choice, check these: a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, the name of the hospital and the operating surgeon, a written plan based on a physician's assessment, an itemised quote and aftercare. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye; it publishes its authorisation, TÜRSAB and ISO certificates on this site and gives you all of this in writing with your quote.

How do I choose the right procedure?

Send photos and a short description of what bothers you; the surgeon suggests the options that fit your goals and explains the alternatives.

Can I combine several procedures?

Often yes, within safe limits for operating time. The surgeon may recommend staging larger plans.

Is Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery in Turkey safe?

Like any operation, Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery carries risks, and the risk depends far more on where and by whom it is done than on the country. The serious cases reported in the press have mostly involved unlicensed premises, non-specialists or too many procedures in one session. A safe choice means a hospital licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, a named specialist surgeon, an anaesthetist, pre-operative tests and a long enough stay. New City Clinic is an authorised intermediary registered with the Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye, and you receive the hospital and surgeon details in writing before you travel.

Why is Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?

The difference comes mainly from lower operating and staff costs and the exchange rate; implants, materials and techniques follow the same international standards. Even so, do not choose on price alone: check the hospital licence, the surgeon’s specialty and exactly what the package includes.
