Frequently asked questions
What is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is liposuction of the abdomen, waist, flanks and back all the way round in one session. It reshapes the whole midsection so the waist looks narrower from every angle.
How much does Lipo 360 cost in Turkey?
With New City Clinic the illustrative package in Istanbul is €3,500, including surgery, hospital night, hotel, transfers, coordinator, garments and complication insurance. Flights are not included, and the final price follows a free assessment.

Are flights included?
No. You book your own flights; the coordinator can advise on suitable dates and times.
How do I get a quote?
Send photos and a short health history through the form or WhatsApp. A surgeon reviews them free of charge and you usually receive a written plan and quote within 24 hours.
Am I a good candidate for Lipo 360?
Usually if you are at or near a stable weight, have good skin elasticity and stubborn fat around the middle. If the skin of the abdomen is loose, a tummy tuck may be better.
Is Lipo 360 a weight-loss treatment?
No. It changes shape and measurements; the change on the scales is usually small.
How long do I stay in Istanbul for Lipo 360?
About five to seven days, including one night in hospital and a check-up before flying.
How long are stays for other procedures?
It varies: a few days for a hair transplant, around a week for many facial and breast operations, seven to ten days for a tummy tuck or mommy makeover and up to two weeks for a body lift. Each treatment page gives the details.
Is it safe to have surgery in Turkey?
Every operation carries risks, and safety depends mainly on the hospital and surgeon. Choose a Ministry of Health-licensed hospital, a named specialist, proper tests and enough time before flying.
Which hospitals does New City Clinic work with?
Licensed partner hospitals in Istanbul: Acıbadem, Medicana, Medipol, Medical Park and Biruni. Your hospital is confirmed in writing with your quote.
Who will operate on me?
A specialist surgeon whose name you receive in writing before travelling. Plastic surgery is led by Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a plastic, reconstructive and oncological surgeon.
Is New City Clinic licensed?
Yes. It is authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health as a health-tourism agency, registered with HealthTürkiye and licensed by TÜRSAB under no. 17659.
Is Lipo 360 painful?
Most people describe soreness, tightness and swelling rather than sharp pain. Pain relief is prescribed and discomfort eases over the first week.
When can I return to work after Lipo 360?
Desk work is usually possible after about a week; physically demanding work takes longer.
When can I exercise again?
After Lipo 360, sport can usually be restarted gradually after about four weeks. After a tummy tuck or body lift it is usually around eight weeks.
How long do I wear the compression garment?
After Lipo 360, about six weeks. Other body procedures have similar periods, which your surgeon confirms.
When will I see the final result?
After Lipo 360, around six months. After lifts such as a tummy tuck, thigh lift or body lift, around a year, as scars mature.
Will I have scars?
Liposuction leaves entry points of a few millimetres. Lifts and tucks leave longer scars, placed where clothing usually covers them. Scars fade over months but do not disappear completely.
Can I combine Lipo 360 with other procedures?
Yes, for example with a BBL, a tummy tuck or breast surgery, provided the total operating time remains safe. Sometimes the surgeon suggests two stages instead.
What if there is a complication?
You are treated at a licensed hospital, and New City Clinic packages include complication insurance. Your coordinator stays in contact during and after your stay.
Can I fly home straight after surgery?
No. Your surgeon checks you before giving fit-to-fly clearance. On the flight, wear compression, walk in the aisle and drink water.
Do you offer follow-up once I am home?
Yes. Your coordinator stays in touch and the surgical team follows your recovery through photos and video calls; reports are provided in English.
Can I bring a companion?
Yes, and for larger operations it is recommended. Let the coordinator know so the hotel and transfers can be arranged for two.
Do you show before-and-after photos?
Out of respect for patient privacy, photos are shared only with patients’ consent. During your consultation the surgeon explains what is realistic in your case.
Does New City Clinic also offer hair transplants and smile design?
Yes. Hair transplants (FUE/DHI) are arranged from €1,500, and smile design with veneers is carried out by dentists at partner clinics, with a free personalised quote.
