Is Lipo 360 in Istanbul right for you?
Lipo 360 removes fat from the abdomen, waist, flanks and back all the way round in one session, so the torso looks slimmer from every angle. It suits adults at or near a stable weight, with stubborn fat and reasonably firm skin. It is not a weight-loss treatment, and the amount of fat that can be removed safely in one session is limited. If you have loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, a tummy tuck may be more suitable. Our ideal candidate guide helps you decide before you send your photos.
Flying from Birmingham Airport
Birmingham Airport (BHX) has direct flights to Istanbul, including Turkish Airlines services to Istanbul Airport (IST); other carriers and seasonal options may also be available. The flight takes around four hours. If dates or fares do not suit, London and Manchester airports are both reachable by train or car and offer more frequencies.
- Getting to BHX: Birmingham International station, next to the airport, makes it easy from New Street, Coventry and Wolverhampton.
- In Istanbul: a driver meets you at IST or SAW; transfers are included in your package.
- Time zone: Istanbul is two hours ahead of the UK in summer and three in winter.
Prices: Midlands clinics compared
As an approximate guide only, private clinics in Birmingham and the wider Midlands typically quote somewhere around £5,500–£11,000 for liposuction of the abdomen, flanks and back, depending on the surgeon, the technique and whether garments and follow-up are included. These figures vary widely and are not quotes.
The New City Clinic package for Lipo 360 in Istanbul has an illustrative price of €3,500. It includes surgery at a licensed partner hospital, a hospital night, hotel accommodation, all transfers in Istanbul, an English-speaking coordinator, compression garments and complication insurance. Flights are not included. You can compare all treatments on our prices page and the New City Clinic price list.
Planning your week
Most Midlands patients plan a week in Istanbul. A typical schedule runs like this: arrival and hotel on day one, examination with blood tests and anaesthesia assessment on day two, surgery with one hospital night on day three, rest at the hotel on days four to six with a check-up, and the flight home on day seven once the surgeon has cleared you. Desk work is usually possible about a week after surgery; jobs involving lifting, driving long distances or standing all day need longer. Our trip planning guide covers packing and flight tips.
Recovering at home in Birmingham
Back home, keep wearing your compression garment for around six weeks, walk every day and follow your medication plan. Gentle exercise can usually start from about week four. Your final result appears gradually, at around six months.
Follow-up continues with your New City Clinic coordinator and surgeon through photos and video calls, with reports provided in English. Tell your GP about your surgery before you travel. If you develop worrying symptoms, such as a fever, increasing pain, a hot swollen calf or shortness of breath, seek urgent local care and then let your coordinator know. Our aftercare guide explains garments and lymphatic drainage.
Hospitals and surgeons
New City Clinic is a health-tourism agency based in Bakırköy, authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health (HealthTürkiye), with TÜRSAB licence no. 17659. It does not operate itself. Your surgery takes place at a licensed partner hospital, Acıbadem, Medicana, Medipol, Medical Park or Biruni, and is performed by a specialist surgeon such as Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, plastic, reconstructive and oncological surgeon. You know both before you commit.

Common questions from Midlands patients
People from Birmingham and the Midlands tend to ask the same practical questions, so here are short answers to the most common ones.
Can I go back to a warehouse or factory job quickly? Physical work involving lifting, bending or long shifts on your feet usually needs more than a week off; discuss your job with the surgeon so they can advise on timing.
Is it safe to drive home from the airport? It is better not to drive yourself on the day you land. Ask someone to collect you, or take a taxi from BHX.
What if I want more than one area treated? Adding the arms, thighs or chin lengthens the operation, and there is a safe limit per session. The surgeon will help you prioritise, and options such as liposuction by area can be planned for a later trip.
Can I combine the trip with a family visit or a holiday? Do any sightseeing before surgery, not after. Baths, saunas, swimming and long days on your feet should wait until you have healed.
