About Biruni University Hospital
Biruni University Hospital (Biruni Üniversite Hastanesi) belongs to Biruni University, which focuses on the health sciences. As the university's teaching and research hospital, it combines patient care with medical education.
The hospital has surgical and medical departments, intensive care units and imaging facilities. Care is provided by the university's faculty members and specialist physicians. It is located in Küçükçekmece, a district on the European side of Istanbul.
Unlike the large groups in our network, Biruni is a single university hospital rather than a chain, which makes it easy to know exactly where you will be treated.
Biruni within the New City Clinic network
New City Clinic is a health tourism organisation authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health and registered with HealthTürkiye. It does not operate on patients itself. Procedures are performed by named specialist surgeons at licensed partner hospitals: Biruni, Acıbadem, Medicana, Medipol and Medical Park.
On its Biruni hospital page, New City Clinic explains that it plans bariatric and general surgery for its patients at Biruni University Hospital, where the physician practises. Plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery also appears in the list of treatments the clinic organises there for international patients. As always, whether an aesthetic operation takes place at Biruni depends on your surgeon.
Treatments New City Clinic organises at Biruni
For international patients, New City Clinic lists these areas at its partner hospitals, including Biruni:
- Plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery
- Weight-loss surgery – gastric sleeve, bypass and gastric balloon
- Orthopaedics – knee and hip replacement, sports injuries
- Check-ups, eye, urology, gynaecology and IVF
- Oncology second opinions and treatment plans, and living-donor organ transplant
For many people the path runs from weight loss to body contouring. Once your weight has been stable for some time, the next step may be a body lift, a back lift, a tummy tuck or, if loose skin is limited, Lipo 360. Our guide on who is a good candidate explains why a stable weight matters and why liposuction is not a weight-loss method.
Can I ask for Biruni?
Yes. Tell the coordinator if you would like to be treated at Biruni, or if you have a preference for a particular district of Istanbul. The hospital is then chosen with you according to:
- the procedure – it is planned at a hospital equipped and experienced in that field;
- your surgeon – only hospitals where he or she practises are considered;
- your preferences – location, room type and budget, which are reflected in your quote.
The chosen hospital and surgeon are written into your plan before you travel.
How your trip is organised
New City Clinic is also a TÜRSAB-licensed travel agency (No. 17659), so your hotel and transfers are arranged by the same team that plans your treatment:
- You send reports, photos or questions on WhatsApp.

- You are met at the airport and taken to your hotel and the hospital. An interpreter is with you at appointments.
- After discharge you receive your medical reports, and the team keeps in touch once you are back home.
Our week-by-week recovery guide helps you plan time off work and the journey home.

Licences and checks you can make
Private hospitals in Türkiye are licensed by the Ministry of Health. For the hospital's current accreditations and departments, check its official website (birunihastanesi.com.tr); accreditations can change over time and can also be looked up in the Joint Commission International (JCI) directory. New City Clinic gives you the hospital's name and address in writing.
To check New City Clinic itself, see our licences and certificates page, which covers the Ministry of Health authorisation, TÜRSAB licence and ISO certificates and how to verify them. An overview of all five partners is on our hospitals page and on the New City Clinic hospitals page.
Who will operate on you
A hospital provides the setting; the surgeon makes the difference. With New City Clinic you always know in advance who will operate: the name and specialty of your surgeon are sent with your quote, and you can ask questions before you decide. For body contouring and plastic surgery, this may be Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a plastic, reconstructive and oncological surgeon with a background in microsurgery, or another named specialist depending on the procedure and hospital.
Before surgery, be open about your medical history, medication and smoking, and keep your weight stable. Every operation carries risks – such as bleeding, infection, fluid collection, asymmetry or contour irregularities – and results vary from person to person. Your surgeon will explain the risks that apply to you, and the complication insurance in your package is described in writing before you travel.
