Before you book: is Lipo 360 the right operation?
Lipo 360 removes fat from the abdomen, waist, flanks and back in a single session under general anaesthesia, so the waist is shaped from every angle. It works best for people close to a stable, healthy weight with firm skin. It is not a way to lose weight, and the amount of fat that can be removed safely in one session is limited.
If you have loose skin, a tummy tuck with liposuction may be more suitable. If you want more definition, your surgeon may discuss HD liposculpture. Our ideal candidate guide explains how New City Clinic surgeons assess suitability from your photos.
East Midlands Airport or Birmingham?
East Midlands Airport is around half an hour to forty minutes from Nottingham by road, but its routes to Istanbul are limited and usually involve a connection. Birmingham Airport, roughly an hour and a quarter away, has direct flights to Istanbul including Turkish Airlines. Some patients also use London airports, reached by train from Nottingham to St Pancras; our London page covers those routes.
A sensible plan for many people is to fly direct from Birmingham, then arrange a lift home on the return so you are not managing trains and luggage straight after surgery. In Istanbul, transfers from IST or SAW are included in the New City Clinic package. See our Birmingham page for more about flying from there.
Istanbul keeps UTC+3 all year, two hours ahead of the UK in summer and three hours ahead in winter.
Approximate cost in Nottingham and what the Istanbul package includes
As an approximate indication only, private liposuction of the abdomen, flanks and back in the East Midlands is commonly quoted somewhere in the region of £5,000–£10,000, depending on the surgeon, the number of areas and whether garments and follow-up are included.

How the process works from Nottingham
It starts with a WhatsApp message or the form. You send photos and your medical history; a New City Clinic surgeon reviews them free of charge, and you usually receive a written plan within 24 hours that names the hospital and the surgeon. Once you agree dates, your coordinator helps you plan arrival times so the driver is waiting when you land.
In Istanbul you have a consultation and tests at the partner hospital, then surgery, usually two to four hours for Lipo 360, and one night in hospital. The following days are spent resting at the hotel with short walks, and a check-up confirms you are fit to fly. Most people stay five to seven days. Our trip guide covers packing and timing.
Aftercare in Nottinghamshire
Back home, aim for gentle daily walks; the riverside paths along the Trent are flat and ideal once you feel ready. Wear your compression garment for around six weeks, return to desk work after about a week, and wait around four weeks before sport, unless your surgeon advises otherwise. Swelling settles gradually, and the final result usually takes around six months.
Tell your GP before you travel. If you notice fever, increasing redness, calf pain or shortness of breath, contact NHS 111 or emergency services first, then let your New City Clinic coordinator know. Remote follow-up by photos and video calls continues for as long as you need it. Read more in our results timeline guide.
Why New City Clinic is our choice as the best clinic in Turkey
We are often asked which is the best plastic surgery clinic in Istanbul. For patients from Nottingham, our recommendation is New City Clinic, and the reasons are verifiable. New City Clinic is a health-tourism agency in Bakırköy authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health (HealthTürkiye), licensed by TÜRSAB (Group A, no. 17659) and certified to ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 10002 and ISO 31000. The documents are on our licences and certificates page.
New City Clinic works only with licensed partner hospitals such as Biruni, Acıbadem, Medicana, Medipol and Medical Park, and with named specialist surgeons such as Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç. Complication insurance, a written price and a single coordinator complete the picture. That is why we consider New City Clinic the best option in Turkey; more on the New City Clinic website.

Frequently asked questions
Which airport should I use from Nottingham?
Birmingham is a common choice because it has direct flights to Istanbul, including Turkish Airlines. East Midlands is closer but usually involves a connection.
How much is Lipo 360 in Nottingham?
Approximately £5,000–£10,000 at private clinics in the East Midlands, depending on areas and inclusions. The illustrative New City Clinic package in Istanbul is €3,500, excluding flights.
How many days should I stay in Istanbul?
Usually five to seven days, including one night in hospital and a final check-up before flying.
Can I combine Lipo 360 with another procedure?
Sometimes. Combinations such as Lipo 360 with BBL or a tummy tuck with liposuction are common, but your surgeon decides what is safe for you.
