How Much Does Cleft Lip or Palate Repair Cost in Istanbul?

Cleft lip or palate repair in Istanbul typically costs from $4,200 to $4,200. The final price depends on whether the patient requires a single-site or combined repair, the hospital's accreditation, and the surgeon's specialized craniofacial training. In the US, similar procedures cost around $30,000 on average. Istanbul offers savings of around 88%. Common inclusions involve surgical fees, anesthesia, pre-operative diagnostics, and hospital stays.

  • Procedure complexity: Combined lip and palate surgery often costs 30-50% more than single-site repairs.
  • Revision premiums: Secondary revisions or adult reconstructive nasal surgery typically carry higher costs than primary repairs.
  • Accreditation levels: JCI-accredited facilities often have slightly higher pricing reflecting international safety and quality standards.
  • Anesthesia and logistics: Standard quotes usually cover the surgical team, one or two nights of hospitalization, and airport transfers.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul dominates the Turkish medical landscape with its concentration of JCI-accredited centers compared to regional hubs. This density allows patients to access craniofacial experts with massive surgical volumes. For instance, specialists at Memorial Şişli Hospital and Hisar Hospital Intercontinental often hold fellowships from top US institutions like Johns Hopkins or Cleveland Clinic, providing high-level expertise at more competitive rates than Western European capitals.

I highly recommend this hospital, doctor and bookimed for anyone seeking a tympanoplasty or other ear related surgery
Hisar hospital was great, rooms were large, clean and they had the latest medical equipment. The doctor (dr. Tayphun Apuhan) explained to us in detail the procedure (it was a tympanoplasty for my wife) and the surgery went perfect. The hospital staff was great, the nurses took very good care of us and the experience was a 5/5 at all times. The doctor also offered the least intrusive solution to my wife's problem so her recovery was quick and successful. The provided translator (which was needed as my wife does not speak english) was great and she guided us throughout the whole treatment phases. I highly recommend this hospital, doctor and bookimed for anyone seeking a tympanoplasty or other ear related surgery.
Our medical coordinator Olha was super helpful - she guided us through all the steps required, and the trip we had was great and un-eventful. The recommended hospital was great, we had a translator with us the whole time and the surgery was succesful

I am pleasantly surprised and grateful to everyone who took care of me
Excellent experience. I traveled from Mexico to have cochlear implant surgery. First of all, I found this hospital thanks to the attention of Bookimed, they attended me very well, got the best option and started the whole process. At the beginning I was obviously a little bit afraid that everything was real and correct and with good results, it was the first time I used this kind of medical tourism. I searched many countries and options and found the best deal through Bookimed at Hisar Hospital in Istanbul at the best price. Now that it's all over, I am pleasantly surprised and grateful to everyone who took care of me. I am impressed with how well they have organized everything for international patients. From the transportation, to the airport-hotel-airport, hotel-hospital-hotel, in all the appointments I had, more than 3 times in two weeks. The international department assigned me one and sometimes two translators, all were very well behaved, Dr. Yabuz Selim very attentive and professional, the hospital was excellent, the package included two nights accommodation in a room with two rooms, and meals for patient and companion. Pre-operative studies, post-operative follow-up, and only the agreed amount was paid from the beginning, not a dollar more we had to pay. I had never had this experience in a hospital before. The whole procedure was fast and without complications, they checked me 3 more times without any problem. They helped me resolve all my doubts and concerns, always with excellent response through whatsapp. I sincerely recommend and thank everyone involved in Hisar Hospital. I hope I never have to go back, but if I need to, I will not even look elsewhere.
Everything was excellent. It exceeded my expectations by far.

This was worth the cost
Left ear hearing lost of 25yrs long, regained over a week ago after undergoing a tympanoplasty surgery. Very skilled doctors. Very supportive medical team. The nurses on night shift checked on me between 30minutes and an hour to take my BP and check if I was fine. Xxx Very clean, spacious and quite hospital room,if you are not in pain after a surgery, you have a little office table and a comfortable office chair to work on your laptop, sit on the armchair and watch outside through the wide window or just lay on your comfortable and clean hospital bed! I had a five stars room with five stars everything including the very clean and spacious washroom with all amenities. Very comfortable to shower either while sitting or standing. This was worth the cost.😍😍😍😍😍 Met an Orthopaedic expert too who successfully diagnosed my knee condition after one year of GP visits without any conclusions. I can only recommend that if you are looking for everything I have mentioned above while looking for surgery, look no further! This hospital is fairly cheaper, too, compared to many in Turkey. Bookimed helped me choose this after comparing costs with a number of them best medical facilities in Turkey. For ENT, look out for Prof.Dr.Yavuz Selim Yildirim attached on pic.
Meeting a doctor that knows exactly what your problem is, tells/shows you and explains what needs to be done and assures you he can fix it. Expertise and confidence! That gave me 100% hope that my hearing condition was reversible and pa👂 😃
At the orthopaedic, I was given a pictorial sheet for physical exercises for my knees, every text under each pic is in Turkish. For God's sake, we need to read this time and again to get the concept on our own after the translators or after leaving Turkey. 🤔 If only this hospital could have Prescription sheets and data in both English and Turkish without a patient having to ask for, this would lessen the burden placed on translators having to explain what a patient could just read for themselves had it been in English.
About Bookimed service
I had a choice of hospital to go to after an online search and reading their reviews, but this was way too expensive and one of the bookimed coordinators gave me a price lists which helped me compare cost and ended up in Hisar which was fair enough. Thank you very much, I am so greatful. 🙏 But, I had tooany coordinators from bookimed, I can not remember them all as the hospital also had too many coordinators texting me, very confusing! Kindly try to stick to one coordinator/patient from planning to exit please.

Would 100% recommend all of Bookimed, Medical Park and Dr
Had my tonsils taken out in Medical Park Antalya Hastanesi with Dr. Harun Doğru. Great experience, from messaging Bookimed, i was hesitant because reviews were all so positive, i was scared it would be a scam but after the experience I have absolutely nothing bad to say. They were so helpful, they booked everything for me and required very little from me. Once I flew out there, I was met with a fantastic interpreter Kamil who was fantastic, I would be completely lost without him. Then to Dr. Harun, thank you for a smooth operation and recovery. Would 100% recommend all of bookimed, Medical Park and Dr. Harun. Thank you all for a positive experience!

Money down the drain. The operation was “done”, the nose did not breathe before the operation, and still does not breathe after, although the emphasis was placed on this. I, as a mother, really asked. If the doctor is not competent in this matter, I believe that there was no need to take on this matter.
About Bookimed service
I have nothing to thank for. We spent 1000 euros on a plane there and back, + 1550 euros for the operation. The result is zero.... This is tough...

In total we spent about an hour in the clinic
Everything was very quick. I was sent for an X-ray without a queue and relatively inexpensive (the doctor sent me for an X-ray after the initial examination). In total we spent about an hour in the clinic. Immediately got an interpreter, got registered, got to the doctor's office (even before the specified time), sent to X-ray immediately, returned to the doctor, got all the answers. Special thanks to the interpreter.

100% recommended
Every aspect was pre-arranged, airport pick-up/drop-off, private cars to appointments. The Dr and his assistant showed a high level of expertise. No staffing issues in the operating theatre or for the follow up care. I was sceptical having arranged this all via whatsapp, but it worked perfectly. 100% recommended.

Facilitated the introduction to an excellent surgeon/clinic. Always proactive and responsive. Excellent service. Only thing would be to make people feel at ease that it is all done via whatsapp!

I especially liked the surgeon who performed the operation
Hello, Vitalia! I could not follow the link, error((( But I wanted to write to you myself and say thank you! Thank you for your prompt answers, for your help in choosing a doctor and clinic. My rehabilitation period is not over yet and I can't say about the final result. But already at this stage I have a good impression of your company, the work of the coordinator Maria and the hospital interpreter Madina. I especially liked the surgeon who performed the operation. The conditions in the clinic are average, the price is market. Other medical operators also sent me offers in the same price range, but you did everything faster. By the way, the same price was in Ajibadem, but they sent me an offer on 17 May, when I had already set up for treatment in Hisar. My sister had a checkup in Ajibadem and I stopped by the clinic. Really very high level of medicine, service and comfort. But I hope that the result of my operation will not make me regret my choice. Thank you once again for your help. Saule. 🌷🌷🌷
I liked the doctor's professionalism and sense of humour.
Hisar clinic has a very bad transfer coordinator. Every time they were 30-60 minutes late.

The clinic and doctors work professionally
It was necessary to clean wax from one ear. As a result, for only $150 I received a consultation with an ENT professor, cleaning of both ears, and an additional examination of my nose and throat. The clinic and doctors work professionally, however, it was not possible to use the services of a translator into Russian at the reception, since the translator was too busy, but the doctors speak excellent English.
