Turkey plastic surgery costs from about $1,000 for eyelid surgery to $7,000 for a Brazilian butt lift in 2026, and most hospitals sell it as an all-inclusive package with the operation, hospital stay, hotel and transfers. The most requested procedures are rhinoplasty, liposuction and body contouring, and breast surgery. Safety depends on the individual surgeon and hospital, and on planning your aftercare and flight home before you book.
Turkey Plastic Surgery Costs in 2026
The table below gives typical price ranges per procedure in Turkey, with a link to our detailed guide for each one. Exact prices depend on the complexity of the operation, the surgeons experience and the city.
| Procedure | Typical price in Turkey | Our detailed guide |
|---|---|---|
| Rhinoplasty (nose job) | $2,500 – $6,000 | Nose job in Turkey |
| Breast augmentation (implants) | $2,500 – $5,500 | Breast lift in Turkey |
| Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) | $2,800 – $4,500 | Tummy tuck in Turkey |
| Liposuction (depends on areas) | $1,500 – $4,500 | Cost of liposuction in Turkey |
| Facelift | $3,000 – $6,000 | Mini facelift prices in Turkey |
| Brazilian butt lift (BBL) | $3,500 – $7,000 | BBL in Turkey |
| Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) | $1,000 – $2,600 | Blepharoplasty in Turkey |
Several procedures are often combined in one trip, such as a mummy makeover in Turkey, which costs more in total but saves a second journey and a second recovery period.
What Do Turkey Plastic Surgery Packages Include?
Most hospitals bundle the medical and travel parts into a single price. A standard all-inclusive package covers:
- Medical care: surgeon and anaesthesia fees, pre-operative blood tests, the hospital stay, post-operative medicines and surgical garments.
- Accommodation: a hotel stay for the first part of your recovery.
- Transport: private transfers between the airport, hotel and hospital.
- Support: a patient coordinator or translator during medical visits.
As a real example, the combined body-contouring packages listed on the profile of Asst. Prof. Ahmet Aydın, a plastic surgeon in Istanbul, include consultations with the surgeon and the anaesthetist, pre-operative tests, general anaesthesia, medicines, compression garments, follow-up examinations, a 2-day hospital stay, 5 hotel nights, VIP transport and complication insurance. Flights are not part of a standard package, so budget for them separately.
Is It Safe to Get Plastic Surgery in Turkey?
Plastic surgery in Turkey can be safe if you choose an accredited hospital and a certified surgeon, but every operation carries risks and some are harder to manage once you are home. The NHS puts the decision this way:
"Its important to do your research if youre thinking about having cosmetic surgery abroad. It can cost less than in the UK, but you need to weigh up potential savings against the potential risks."
— NHS, Cosmetic surgery abroad.
The NHS adds that overseas clinics may not provide follow-up treatment, or may not provide it to the same standard as in the UK, and that travel insurance does not normally cover things going wrong in surgery.
How to choose a surgeon and hospital in Turkey
- Check the surgeon: registration with the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, their training, the organisations they belong to, how long they have practised and how many similar procedures they have done.
- Check the hospital: look for Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation or recognition by the Turkish Ministry of Health.
- Meet the surgeon, not only sales staff: the NHS advises 2 consultations with the surgeon treating you before any surgery, which gives you a cooling-off period.
- Make sure you understand each other: the surgeon needs to explain the procedure in a language you understand and answer your questions.
- Agree the aftercare: find out what happens if there are complications, where follow-up appointments will be and how much any further surgery would cost.
How Long to Stay in Turkey and When You Can Fly Home
Air travel and major surgery both raise the risk of a blood clot, so the length of your stay is set by the procedure, not by the package. The NHS recommends not flying for:
| Procedure | Do not fly for |
|---|---|
| Breast surgery and liposuction | 5 – 7 days |
| Facial cosmetic procedures and tummy tucks | 7 – 10 days |
Plan rest, not a holiday, straight after surgery: the NHS advises against drinking alcohol, lying in the sun, sightseeing or going in the water while you recover.
Recovery and Aftercare Back in the UK
Recovery continues for weeks after you fly home, so arrange time off work, help at home and a way to contact your surgeon before you travel. Keep copies of your operation notes and implant details if you had implants, and ask whether remote check-ups by video are included. Procedure-specific recovery guides:
Plastic Surgery in Istanbul and Other Cities
Many patients choose Istanbul, which generally carries a slight price premium compared with Izmir or Antalya. The outcome depends on the individual surgeon rather than the city, so compare surgeons and hospitals first and the location second. Our plastic surgeons, including Asst. Prof. Ahmet Aydın, work in Istanbul.
Male Cosmetic Surgery in Turkey
Procedures men often ask about include gynecomastia surgery, rhinoplasty, liposuction and hair restoration. The same checks on the surgeon, hospital and aftercare apply. See gynecomastia surgery in Turkey and hair transplant in Turkey.
