Medipol and Istanbul Medipol University
Medipol Health Group (Medipol Sağlık Grubu) operates hospitals connected with Istanbul Medipol University. Its largest facility, Medipol Mega University Hospital, opened in Bağcılar, on the European side of Istanbul, in 2012.
Medipol Mega brings general, oncology, cardiovascular and dental hospital departments together on one campus. As a university hospital, its clinical care runs alongside education and research – a setting some patients find reassuring because teaching and day-to-day treatment happen in the same place.
Why Medipol is one of New City Clinic's partners
New City Clinic is a health tourism organisation authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health. It does not run its own operating theatre; instead, named specialist surgeons operate at licensed partner hospitals. Medipol is one of five, together with Acıbadem, Medicana, Medical Park and Biruni University Hospital.
On its Medipol hospital page, New City Clinic states that it plans plastic and reconstructive surgery for its patients at the Medipol hospital where the physician practises. For readers interested in body contouring, that makes Medipol directly relevant.
Aesthetic and reconstructive procedures at Medipol
Plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery is one of the areas New City Clinic organises at Medipol. Depending on your surgeon, that can include:
- Lipo 360, treating the abdomen, waist, flanks and back in one session, and Lipo 360 with BBL.
- HD liposculpture for more defined contours.
- Lipoabdominoplasty when excess skin needs removing as well as fat.
- Breast lift, breast reduction and scar revision – procedures where the reconstructive side of plastic surgery is especially important.
New City Clinic also arranges weight-loss surgery, orthopaedics, check-ups, eye, urology, gynaecology, IVF and oncology care at its partner hospitals, but this portal concentrates on aesthetic surgery.
Choosing Medipol for your operation
If you would like to be treated at Medipol, say so when you request your quote. The hospital is then chosen with you, taking into account the procedure (each operation is planned where the equipment and experience fit), the surgeon (only hospitals where he or she practises) and your own preferences on location, room type and budget.
Medipol Mega's location in Bağcılar may also matter if you have views on where in Istanbul you want to stay. Tell the coordinator, and your hotel can be planned around the hospital. Both are written into your plan before you book flights.

Licences and how to verify them
Private hospitals in Türkiye are licensed by the Ministry of Health.

New City Clinic confirms the hospital's name and address in writing.

Questions worth asking before you book
A good hospital is only part of a safe plan. Before you commit to surgery at Medipol – or at any of the partner hospitals – it is sensible to have clear written answers to a few questions:
- Who exactly will operate on me, and what is the surgeon's specialty? (Your quote names the surgeon; for body contouring this may be Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, plastic, reconstructive and oncological surgeon, or another named specialist.)
- How many nights in hospital and in the hotel are planned, and which tests are included?
- What does the complication insurance cover, and what are its limits and exclusions?
- How will follow-up work once I am home?
New City Clinic gives you these details in writing. If anything is unclear, ask before you book flights – the assessment is free and there is no obligation.
