Why packages exist
When you have surgery in your home city, the logistics are simple: you go to hospital and come home. When you travel, there is much more to organise: airport pick-ups, a hotel near the hospital, appointments, interpretation and follow-up from another country. A package brings all of that together under one price and one point of contact, so you are not negotiating with a hotel or a taxi driver the day after your operation.
For Lipo 360, which involves a stay of five to seven days in Türkiye, a well-designed package removes most of the practical stress. The important thing is to know precisely what it includes.
What the New City Clinic package includes
The illustrative Lipo 360 package at New City Clinic is €3,500. Your written quote lists the exact contents for your case, but a standard package includes:
| Component | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Surgery at an authorised facility | The operation itself, performed by a specialist surgeon at a licensed partner hospital, under general anaesthesia |
| Hospital night | Usually one night after Lipo 360, with nursing care |
| Hotel accommodation | Your room for the rest of the stay |
| Transfers | Airport to hotel, hotel to hospital and back, and to the airport for your flight home |
| Pre-operative tests | Blood tests and anaesthesia assessment, where specified in your quote |
| Coordinator and interpreter | An English-speaking contact from your first message to follow-up |
| Compression garments | Post-operative garments where needed |
| Complication insurance | Cover for certain complications, as set out in your quote |
What is not included
Just as important is what you should budget for separately:
- Flights. These are never part of the package.
- Travel insurance for the trip itself, such as cancellations and lost luggage. This is different from complication insurance.
- Meals outside the hotel and personal spending.
- Extra nights or a companion's accommodation, unless you add them to your quote.
- Additional procedures not listed in your plan, for example fat transfer to the buttocks or treating extra areas.
- Aftercare at home, such as lymphatic drainage sessions, if your surgeon recommends them.
If anything is unclear, ask before you pay. A good provider will be glad to put the answer in writing.
The surgery component: who, where and how
The most important part of any package is the operation, so look past the hotel stars and ask who will operate and where. New City Clinic is a health-tourism agency authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health (HealthTürkiye) and licensed by TÜRSAB (no. 17659). It does not operate itself. Operations are performed by specialist surgeons at licensed partner hospitals: Acıbadem, Medicana, Medipol, Medical Park and Biruni. You can read about them on the partner hospitals page and meet the plastic surgeon Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, who specialises in plastic, reconstructive and oncological surgery, including microsurgery.
Complication insurance: what to check
Complication insurance is one of the most valuable parts of a package and one of the least understood. It is designed to cover the cost of treating certain complications that can arise from the procedure. When your quote arrives, read the policy details carefully and check:
- which complications are covered and which are excluded;
- for how long after surgery cover applies;
- whether treatment must take place in Türkiye or can be arranged elsewhere;
- what you need to do to make a claim, and whom to contact.
The New City Clinic insurance page explains the cover in more detail. Remember that insurance is a safety net, not a substitute for careful patient selection and good surgery; our safety guide covers both.
How to compare two quotes
When comparing packages, put them side by side and go through each line. A helpful checklist:
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which hospital, by name? | Lets you check licensing and facilities |
| Which surgeon, by name and specialty? | Experience is the biggest factor in the result |
| How many hospital nights? | Some cheap offers include none |
| How many hotel nights, and which hotel? | Short stays may push you to fly too early |
| Are tests and anaesthesia included? | These can be billed separately |
| Garments and medication? | Small items that add up |
| Complication insurance? | Protects you financially if something goes wrong |
| Follow-up after you return? | Problems often appear after you fly home |
A package that costs a little more but answers every question clearly is usually better value than one that is cheap because it leaves things out. Our price guide compares Istanbul with typical home-country prices.
Packages for other body contouring operations
The same package structure applies to other operations, with different lengths of stay. Illustrative New City Clinic package prices include liposuction at €3,500, BBL at €3,000, tummy tuck at €3,500, mommy makeover at €4,850, arm lift at €3,000 and thigh lift at €3,850. Combined operations such as Lipo 360 with BBL, VASER or HD liposculpture are quoted individually. You can see all prices on our prices page.
Adding to your package
Packages can be adapted. Common additions include a companion's accommodation and transfers, extra hotel nights before surgery so you can see the city first, or a longer stay after surgery for extra peace of mind. Tell your coordinator what you would like when you request your quote, and the extras will be listed and priced separately so the package remains transparent.
How booking works, step by step
- Send photos and your health history by WhatsApp or the form.
- Free surgeon assessment: you usually receive a written plan and itemised quote within 24 hours.
- Ask questions about the hospital, surgeon, insurance and recovery until you are happy.
- Choose your dates and book your flights; your coordinator confirms hotel, transfers and appointments.
- Travel to Istanbul, where you are met at the airport.
- Examination, tests and surgery at the partner hospital.
- Recovery and check-up before your surgeon clears you to fly.
- Follow-up from home with photos and video calls.
For the travel side in more detail, see our trip planning guide.
Follow-up after you fly home: part of the package
A good package is also about what happens once you are home. Problems after body contouring, such as a fluid collection or an area that stays hard, often show up in the second or third week, long after your flight. That is why follow-up should be part of what you pay for, not an optional extra. With New City Clinic, your coordinator remains your point of contact after you return: you send photos at agreed intervals, questions are passed to the surgeon, and video calls can be arranged when a closer look is needed. Reports from your stay are provided in English, which makes it easier for your GP or a local practitioner to help if necessary.
Ask any provider you are considering how follow-up works in practice: who answers your messages, how quickly, and what happens if the surgeon thinks you need to be seen in person. A vague answer is a reason to keep looking. For what normal healing looks like week by week, see our recovery guide, and for garments and massage, our aftercare guide.
It also helps to keep a simple folder, paper or digital, with your quote, hospital discharge letter, medication list and the coordinator's contact details. If you ever need care at home, a local doctor will be able to see at a glance what was done, when and by whom, and your New City Clinic team can follow up with the operating surgeon directly.

Frequently asked questions
What does an all-inclusive Lipo 360 package include?
At New City Clinic it includes surgery at a licensed partner hospital, a hospital night, hotel, airport–hotel–hospital transfers, pre-operative tests where specified, an English-speaking coordinator, compression garments and complication insurance.
Are flights included in the package?
No. Flights are always booked separately. Everything you need in Istanbul for a standard Lipo 360 is listed in your written quote.
Is complication insurance the same as travel insurance?
No. Complication insurance relates to the procedure, while travel insurance covers things like cancellations and lost luggage. It is sensible to have both.
Can I bring a companion on the package?
Yes. Accommodation and transfers for a companion can usually be added. They are listed and priced separately in your quote.
Why are some packages much cheaper?
Very cheap packages often leave out the hospital night, tests, garments, insurance or follow-up, or do not name the hospital and surgeon. Compare quotes line by line.
How quickly will I receive my quote?
After a surgeon has reviewed your photos and history free of charge, you usually receive an itemised written quote within 24 hours.
