Tummy tuck price in Turkey: €3,500 package in 2026
At New City Clinic, the illustrative package price for a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) in Istanbul is €3,500 in 2026. It is a package price, not a surgeon's fee alone: the operation is bundled with the hospital stay, hotel, transfers and support around it.
"Illustrative" means that the final figure is confirmed in writing after a free medical assessment of your photos and medical history. A standard full tummy tuck will usually sit at the published price; an extended abdominoplasty, extra liposuction areas or a combined procedure will be quoted individually. Flights are not included, and your written quote is the reference point for the whole trip.

Tummy tuck cost in Turkey vs the UK, Ireland, the US and Australia
Comparing prices across countries is only useful if you compare like with like. A UK or Irish quote is often for the surgeon and hospital only; a Turkish package also includes hotel and transfers. With that in mind, here is an approximate picture. These are rough ranges from typical published private prices, not quotes, and individual clinics vary widely.
| Country | Approximate private price for a full tummy tuck | Usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Turkey (New City Clinic package) | €3,500 illustrative | Surgery, hospital, hotel, transfers, coordinator, garments, insurance |
| United Kingdom | Usually around £6,000–£10,000 or more | Surgeon and hospital; extras vary |
| Ireland | Approximately €7,000–€11,000 | Surgeon and hospital |
| United States | Often $8,000–$15,000 or more | Surgeon, facility and anaesthesia fees, often billed separately |
| Australia | Roughly AUD 12,000–20,000 or more | Surgeon and hospital; extras vary |
To work out your real saving, add flights for you and any companion and the time off work. The fairest comparison is a written quote from home next to a written quote from New City Clinic.
Full, mini or extended: which tummy tuck do you need?
The type of operation affects both the result and the price. It depends on how much loose skin you have and where it sits:
- Full abdominoplasty removes skin above and below the navel, tightens the muscles from the ribs to the pubic bone and repositions the navel. The scar runs low, from hip to hip. This is the standard tummy tuck.
- Mini tummy tuck is for laxity limited to below the navel; the scar is shorter and the navel is not moved. See our mini tummy tuck page.
- Extended abdominoplasty continues the scar onto the flanks to deal with loose skin around the sides, often after major weight loss.
- Tummy tuck with liposuction contours the waist and flanks at the same time when suitable. Read more about lipoabdominoplasty.
After pregnancy, many women combine the abdomen with breast surgery in a mommy makeover, which has its own package price of €4,850. If you are unsure whether you need skin removal at all, our guide Lipo 360 or tummy tuck? explains the difference.
What can change your tummy tuck quote
The published price is a starting point. These factors may move it:
- Extent of loose skin. An extended abdominoplasty takes longer than a standard full tummy tuck.
- Extra liposuction areas. Treating the back, thighs or arms adds operating time.
- Combined procedures such as breast surgery in the same session.
- Additional nights in hospital or the hotel, or a companion's accommodation.
- Medical findings that require extra tests; your surgeon will tell you before you travel.

Who is a good candidate for a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck is for loose abdominal skin and separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), most often after pregnancy or significant weight loss. The best candidates are at a stable weight, do not smoke, or will stop for several weeks before and after surgery, and are not planning another pregnancy, because a later pregnancy can stretch the repaired muscles and skin again.
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss operation. If your problem is mainly fat with good skin tone, liposuction or Lipo 360 may be enough. The surgeon decides after examining your photos and history.
Your trip and recovery in Istanbul
Plan to stay in Istanbul for about 7 to 10 days so that your surgeon can check the wound and any drains before you fly. A typical journey with New City Clinic looks like this:
- Free assessment of your photos and history, with a written plan and quote.
- Day 1: you are met at the airport and taken to your hotel.
- Examination day: surgeon's examination, blood tests and anaesthesia assessment.
- Operation day: about 2–4 hours under general anaesthesia, then 1–2 nights in hospital.
- Check-up with dressing change after discharge.
- Return home once your surgeon clears you to fly; follow-up continues by photos and video calls.
You walk slightly bent forward for the first days and wear an abdominal binder for about six weeks. Desk work is usually possible after about two weeks and sport after six to eight weeks. The scar is red at first and fades over 12 to 18 months; the final result is judged at around 12 months. On the flight home, choose an aisle seat, walk regularly and wear your garment. Our trip planning guide has more practical tips.
Risks you should know about
Like any operation, a tummy tuck carries risks: temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness, and the risk of infection and bleeding as with any surgical procedure. Smoking significantly raises the risk of wound-healing problems. Results vary with individual anatomy and healing, and no surgeon can guarantee a specific outcome.
The risk depends far more on where and by whom the operation is done than on the country. 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. Our safety guide explains how to check any provider.
How to prepare for a tummy tuck abroad
Good preparation makes the trip calmer and the recovery smoother. In the weeks before you fly:
- Reach a stable weight. The result holds best when you are not planning to lose much more weight afterwards.
- Stop smoking for several weeks before and after surgery, as your surgeon advises; it significantly affects wound healing.
- Share your full medical history, including medicines and supplements, so New City Clinic and your surgeon can plan any extra tests in advance.
- Tell your GP that you are having surgery abroad, so they are aware when you come home.
- Book flexible flights so the return date can move if your surgeon wants to see you once more.
- Arrange help at home for the first week or two, especially if you have young children, because lifting is restricted.
Your coordinator sends you a checklist with your written quote, and our recovery guide explains what the weeks after surgery feel like.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a tummy tuck cost in Turkey in 2026?
At New City Clinic the illustrative package price for a tummy tuck in Istanbul is €3,500. It includes surgery at an authorised facility, hospital accommodation, hotel, transfers, pre-operative tests where specified, a coordinator and complication insurance. Flights are not included and the final price follows a free medical assessment.
Is a tummy tuck cheaper in Turkey than in the UK?
Usually yes. Private tummy tuck prices in the UK are approximately £6,000–£10,000 or more for surgery alone, whereas the New City Clinic package in Istanbul is €3,500 including hotel and transfers. Add flights and time off work to compare fairly.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Plan about 7 to 10 days, including 1–2 nights in hospital, so your surgeon can check the wound and any drains before you fly home.
Does the price include liposuction?
Liposuction of the waist and flanks can be combined with a tummy tuck when suitable. Whether it is part of your package price, or quoted in addition, is stated in your written quote after the assessment.
Can a tummy tuck fix diastasis recti?
Yes. Stitching the separated muscles back together is a standard part of a full abdominoplasty when diastasis is present, and it can narrow the waist.
When can I go back to work?
Desk work is usually possible after about two weeks. Sport and heavy lifting are avoided for six to eight weeks, and the abdominal binder is worn for about six weeks.
Should I wait until I have finished having children?
It is generally advised. A later pregnancy is possible, but it can stretch the repaired muscles and skin again.
Why do you recommend New City Clinic for a tummy tuck?
Because it is authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health, TÜRSAB licensed and ISO certified, uses licensed hospitals and named specialist surgeons such as Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, and includes complication insurance with a written price. For us, that makes it one of the best choices in Turkey.
