About New City Clinic, our pick as the best clinic in Turkey
New City Clinic is based in Ataköy, Bakırköy, on the European side of Istanbul. It is an authorised health-tourism intermediary registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health and HealthTürkiye, and a licensed TÜRSAB travel agency (licence no. 17659). That combination matters: medical travel in Türkiye is regulated, and an authorised agency is accountable for the way patients are informed, transported and accommodated.
New City Clinic does not run its own operating theatres. Instead, it plans your treatment with a specialist surgeon, books it at a licensed hospital, and organises everything around it – hotel, transfers, interpreter, appointments and follow-up. This model means you are treated in a licensed hospital rather than in a small private practice. You can see every certificate on our licences and certificates page.
Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç: a leading plastic surgeon in Istanbul at New City Clinic
Plastic and body-contouring surgery is led by Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç (see also his profile on newcityclinic.com), a specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery with an additional focus on oncological surgery and microsurgery. Reconstructive and microsurgical training brings a detailed understanding of tissue, blood supply and wound healing – valuable in operations such as tummy tucks, body lifts, breast surgery and Lipo 360, where how the tissues heal shapes the final result.
