About Acıbadem Healthcare Group
Acıbadem Healthcare Group (Acıbadem Sağlık Grubu) was founded in Istanbul in 1991. Over the following decades it grew into one of Türkiye's largest private healthcare groups and today runs numerous hospitals and medical centres in Türkiye and abroad. Since 2012 the group has been part of IHH Healthcare, an international healthcare organisation.
Acıbadem is more than a chain of general hospitals. The group also includes Acıbadem University, which provides medical education, as well as its own laboratory and imaging centres. For patients travelling from abroad there is a dedicated unit for international patients.
Because the group operates several sites, "Acıbadem" on its own does not tell you where you will be treated. That is why New City Clinic names the specific hospital in your written plan before you travel, so you know the exact building and address in advance.
Why New City Clinic works with Acıbadem
New City Clinic is a health tourism organisation authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health. It does not operate on patients itself: every procedure is carried out by a named specialist surgeon at a licensed partner hospital. Acıbadem is one of those partners, alongside Medicana, Medipol, Medical Park and Biruni University Hospital.
According to New City Clinic's own Acıbadem hospital page, the clinic plans its patients' aesthetic and plastic surgery at the Acıbadem hospital where the physician practises and which suits the patient's preference. In other words, the hospital is not chosen at random: it follows the surgeon and fits what you have asked for.
Procedures New City Clinic organises at Acıbadem
New City Clinic lists plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery among the treatments it arranges at Acıbadem for international patients. For readers of this site, that typically means body contouring and related operations such as:
- Lipo 360 – liposuction of the abdomen, waist, flanks and back all the way round in one session.
- Liposuction by area and VASER liposuction for more fibrous fat.
- Tummy tuck and mommy makeover when loose skin or separated muscles are part of the picture.
- Breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and facial procedures such as a facelift.
The clinic also organises other specialities at Acıbadem – weight-loss surgery, orthopaedics, check-ups, eye, urology, gynaecology, IVF and oncology second opinions among them – but on this portal we focus on aesthetic surgery. Whether your particular operation takes place at Acıbadem depends on where your surgeon practises and on the dates available.
Can I ask to be treated at Acıbadem?
Yes. If you would prefer Acıbadem, tell the coordinator when you send your photos. New City Clinic chooses the hospital together with you, based on three things:
- The procedure – each operation is planned at a hospital equipped and experienced for it.
- The physician – the choice is made among the hospitals where your surgeon works.
- Your preference – location, room type and budget are reflected in your quote.
Once agreed, the hospital and the surgeon's name appear in your written plan before you book a flight. If your preferred surgeon does not operate at Acıbadem, the coordinator will explain the options so you can decide with full information.
Your journey: from first message to flying home
The way New City Clinic organises treatment is the same whichever partner hospital you end up in, which makes planning predictable:
- Send your photos or questions on WhatsApp. The assessment is free and without obligation.
- Receive a written plan and price, usually within 24 hours, prepared after a specialist has reviewed your case. It names the hospital and the surgeon.
- Arrive in Istanbul. You are met at the airport and taken to your hotel and to the hospital; an interpreter is with you at appointments.
- Surgery and discharge. After your hospital stay you receive your medical reports.
- Back home. The team stays in touch for follow-up questions during your recovery.
For Lipo 360, for example, plan on roughly 5–7 days in Türkiye, with one night in hospital. Our trip-planning guide covers flights, packing and what to expect day by day.
What the package includes at Acıbadem
The package New City Clinic offers does not change because the hospital is Acıbadem. It includes:
- Treatment by a named specialist surgeon
- Your hospital stay and the tests set out in the plan
- Hotel accommodation and all airport–hotel–hospital transfers
- A coordinator and an interpreter in your language
- Complication insurance for surgery
Flights are not included. Illustrative package prices – for instance €3,500 for Lipo 360 – are listed on our prices page and on the New City Clinic prices page. Your final price is confirmed in writing after the free medical assessment.
Licences and accreditation: how to check
Private hospitals in Türkiye are licensed by the Ministry of Health. Accreditations, by contrast, belong to individual hospitals and can change over time, so we do not list them here. To check the current status of a specific Acıbadem hospital, use the hospital's official website (acibadem.com.tr) and the Joint Commission International (JCI) directory. New City Clinic sends you the hospital's name and address in writing so you can verify it before you travel.
You can also check the organiser. New City Clinic's Ministry of Health authorisation, TÜRSAB travel agency licence No. 17659 and ISO certificates are explained on our licences and certificates page. For an overview of all five partners, see our partner hospitals or the New City Clinic hospitals page.
