How Much Does Tracheal Shave Cost in Istanbul?

Tracheal shave in Istanbul typically costs from $2,100 to $2,100. The final price depends on whether the procedure is performed independently or as part of a facial feminization surgery series. Patients save around 45% compared to the US, where this procedure costs $6,000 on average. Most Istanbul clinics include VIP transfers and hotel accommodation in their surgical offers.

  • Technique: Minimally invasive approaches using specialized neck crease incisions often command a 10-15% premium.
  • Facility tier: JCI-accredited hospitals like Memorial Şişli Hospital typically have higher facility fees than private boutique clinics.
  • Combined surgeries: Packaging the shave with rhinoplasty or jaw contouring can significantly reduce the standalone surgical fee.
  • Surgeon seniority: Fees for professors with over 20 years of experience are usually higher than for junior specialists.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Istanbul hosts the highest concentration of JCI-accredited facilities in Turkey, providing a safer environment for surgery than smaller regional cities. Choosing multi-specialty centers like Medipol Mega or Memorial Şişli lets you access plastic surgeons who collaborate with ENT departments for better aesthetic and functional outcomes. For example, Dr. Şerif Yavuz offers microsurgery-trained precision that helps minimize visible scarring on the neck.

Thank you bookimed, I love you all ❤️💋
The best thing that could have happened to me. I had a sex change. It was all quick and uncomplicated. In Germany I would have had to wait over 3 years, maybe even longer. Bookimed has made my life worth living again. Bookimed is currently the best intuition. I was pampered and all my wishes were fulfilled. Arrival, transfer, hotel, clinic..... Everything 💯 💥 Thank you bookimed, I love you all ❤️💋
The staff everywhere was very kind, friendly and tolerant

The lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement
My biggest worry was how the final result would look, and whether it would be worth the recovery. Even though I’m still quite puffy around my jawline, the lift in my jowls is already a dramatic improvement. That part is a huge relief. The staff and clinic environment were excellent from start to finish. Turning my head feels slightly tight but okay. The surgeon did good work, though I rated them a 4/5 as I felt some communication could have been a bit more compassionate after surgery.The most challenging part has absolutely been sleeping elevated. That's no fun. I would still recommend this clinic.
The Bookined coordinator and the Quartz Clinic staff were fantastic: supportive, helpful, compassionate. All updates were communicated to me promptly. The hotel booked for me is really excellent, with smooth transfers and kind drivers. Spot on!
I didn't give the doctor 5 stars because she made me cry the day after surgery. She could adopt a different approach towards me after surgery, with more understanding and compassion, especially since I was there on my own and at the end of the day, she's received all the information required, it doesn't matter from whom. The stress has a significant impact on me. Aside from that, she was great.

The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted
The moment I saw the result, even with the initial swelling, I could tell the shape was exactly what I wanted. It’s a great feeling. My goal was a more defined tip, and that's precisely what the surgeon delivered using an open approach. The whole process was smooth, and the staff were genuinely caring. The most difficult part of recovery so far is just having to sleep upright, which is temporary. A huge bonus is that I am breathing perfectly through my nose already. I am so grateful for the surgeon's skill and the clear communication from the team.

We will be going back for other treatment and truly can’t recommend them enough
Sitting in the clinic in Antalya, the surgeon explained how the laser-assisted technique for my upper eyelids would function during the procedure. The whole service was smooth and we had a fantastic time throughout our stay. The aftercare was good. I was thrilled with how my eyes looked at 12 days, although at day 15 my biggest challenge is that they are still puffy. My eyes look natural and smooth when I smile. It is a process. We will be going back for other treatment and truly can’t recommend them enough. If you are considering eyelid surgery, ensure you have a few weeks to let the initial swelling settle.

I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter
I felt very secure and taken care of through the entire experience. All of my inquiries were answered very promptly by both the bookiemed coordinator, the assistant, and my doctor (Dr. C Altindąg), is very experienced and talked me through what to expect and analyzed my nose very thoroughly. I breath perfectly now after surgery and my nose is a lot straighter (I had a severe deviated septum and other complications from a past surgery that he identified and corrected including a mirgrated graft and a droopy tip). I'm still quite swollen but look forward to seeing final results in a few months.

If I need anything else improved in my body, I'll definitely reach out to Kristina and we'll once again choose the best doctor for my request :)
I would like to share my feedback about the coordinator Kristina, who assisted me from the initial inquiry until the very end. I was searching for a clinic for breast lift/augmentation. I don't recall how, but I submitted a request on Bookimed and received a response very promptly. To be honest, I wasn't planning to undergo surgery so soon; I was simply exploring clinic and doctor options to make a calm decision and perhaps have the lift in a year or more. However, Kristina immediately got involved, listened to my requests, and began providing options in various countries. Initially, I was considering the Czech Republic, but after discussing with Kristina, we decided on Turkey. She took into account my budget, selected clinics, provided reviews with before/after photos, answered countless questions, and I never once felt pressured into making a decision. I had many doubts because I had to travel to another country alone, without a companion, and feared that it might be challenging for me to manage alone, but Kristina assured me that I would receive enough support to not worry. And that's exactly how it was! From the airport meeting to my departure, everything was top-notch! The coordinator in Turkey, Sueda, all the nurses, other clinic staff, and the doctor treated me like a VIP guest! I never regretted my decision and am grateful to Kristina and Dr. Ali for quickly fulfilling my long-held dream! If I need anything else improved in my body, I'll definitely reach out to Kristina and we'll once again choose the best doctor for my request :)

The clinic and the surgeon did an excellent job managing my care from the very first consultation, and the staff were consistently supportive
My biggest worry was the recovery process itself—not the final outcome, but the immediate aftermath. I'll be honest, it is challenging. My breathing has been completely blocked, which is an uncomfortable feeling. As expected, my nose is still very swollen, with a bulky tip and a puffy bridge where the minor hump was removed. But I was prepared for this. The clinic and the surgeon did an excellent job managing my care from the very first consultation, and the staff were consistently supportive. Even with the swelling, I am confident in the path forward thanks to their skill. The procedure was done using a closed technique.
Dr eroglu was amazing really reesssuring friendly, I had someone with me for translation and felt very supported. Nurse visits were good and she was also brilliant. Highly reccomend.

But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts
I liked everything overall. Initially, I was very afraid, starting with the flight to another country, the transfer to the hotel and the operation itself. But the calmness and poise of the doctor and his team completely dispelled my doubts. 5 hours after the operation I returned to the hotel. Which is also very good because the hospital ward is the worst for me. Exactly after a week I took off the splint, my nose was still swollen. The nose is proportional to my face. When the swelling goes down it will be smaller

To say that I was shocked by the doctor's approach to treatment is to say nothing. My impressions to you, just do not wish to experience. The operation was agreed in advance counselling and my wishes. The day of the operation came. In the morning I was picked up from the hotel and with an interpreter, I went through all the analyses. On the question when I will have a meeting with the doctor I was told at 9 am then I pointed out that I am allergic to one drug. But they wouldn't give me any medication before the operation without the doctor's consent. When I was already changed clothes for the operation ( I apologise myself in underwear, in an operating gown ) came the doctor and began to explain to me on his hands that it can not be like this, as I want and he sees it all differently. He began to explain to me with his fingers how it will be. Interrupting the interpreter. The interpreter couldn't keep up with the translation. Hurrying me to make a decision. I replied that I couldn't make a decision without seeing any pictures of what was waiting for me. Then after about an hour of dialogue, the doctor corrected the curvature of my nose on the telephoto in front of me and said here's what awaits you and covered the tip of my nose with his hand. Again we heard my refusal, to which I was told there is no time and I have to make a decision. They told me there was no time and I had to make a decision. My wishes were ignored. What was agreed upon before the operation was changed. My wishes were to correct the curvature and to change and reduce the tip of the nose. The result of the operation is that the curvature was not corrected and the septum remained the same. But the cartilage was grown on the side, which I did not ask for at all, and the nose was visually enlarged and the tip was corrected. Now I'm just shocked with my appearance to say the least. Everything was done at the discretion of the doctor. He ignored all my wishes. Putting me in front of the fact. Without showing me a single photo of what's in store for me. Explaining it to me on my fingers.

Even at this early stage, the girth increase from the hyaluronic acid filler feels completely natural and even, which was exactly the outcome I was hoping for
My biggest concern going into this was the recovery process and what the final result would feel like. In reality, the healing has been better than expected. Everything is straightforward. Even at this early stage, the girth increase from the hyaluronic acid filler feels completely natural and even, which was exactly the outcome I was hoping for. The surgeon and staff were professional and clear with all instructions. I haven't tried sexual activity yet, as I'm following all the post-op guidelines carefully. The service from this clinic was solid, and I would point others in their direction.
From the communication all the way to the procedure everything was great and went very smoothly. 10/10 recommend.

It's a relief to say they feel completely normal and comfortable
My biggest concern before my upper and lower eyelid surgery was how my eyes would actually feel afterwards, especially when blinking. It's a relief to say they feel completely normal and comfortable. The whole process has been so straightforward. The surgeon opted for a traditional incision and removed fat, and the results are already taking shape even as I'm still healing. Everyone was wonderful. The staff and the clinic provided a very reassuring atmosphere from start to finish. Based on my experience, I would definitely return to this clinic for any future needs.
Everything about my experience was outstanding. From initial contact with my co-ordinator, Winnington, to the last transfer to the airport was fantastic. The surgeon and staff really exceeded my expectations. The language barrier was no problem with the translator, Ishmail, or Google translate. The hotel i stayed in, nearport hotel, was great, with everything you need right on the doorstep. Room service was great. Dr Murat Yaman was excellent. Absolutely a great experience and already considering a dpfl.
The hospital meals could be a bit better, but it was definitely edible.

Now my tummy looks amazingly flat, and the skin fits perfectly, without feeling too tight
What worried me most before my full tummy tuck was the end result. Would my tummy look natural? My fears turned out to be unfounded. Now my tummy looks amazingly flat, and the skin fits perfectly, without feeling too tight. The surgeon performed the procedure with a navel repositioning, and everything looks very neat. Recovery is, of course, a process. The biggest difficulty at this stage is standing up straight. It takes time. But I am completely satisfied with the work of the surgeon, the staff and the organisation at the clinic.
