How Much Does Abdominal etching (Six Pack Abs) Cost in Turkey?

The cost of abdominal etching (Six Pack Abs) in Turkey typically ranges from $3,500 to $5,200. Prices vary depending on the clinic, surgeon experience, and the complexity of sculpting required. In the United States, the average cost is $12,300 (per ASPS). That means abdominal etching in Turkey is about 65% less expensive than in the U.S.

Abdominal etching (Six Pack Abs) in Turkey: Your Travel Plan

Day 1: Arrival in Turkey
  • You should arrive at the airport in the morning for a smooth transition to the clinic.
  • Meet with a private transfer service that will take you directly to the clinic for initial procedures.
  • Undergo pre-operative tests, including blood analysis, before 16:00 to ensure readiness for surgery.
  • Consult with your plastic surgeon to finalize the surgical plan and discuss any last-minute questions or concerns.
  • Review your medical history and undergo a physical examination to confirm the suitability of the abdominal etching procedure.
  • Discuss realistic goals and expectations with the surgeon, who will explain the limitations of the procedure.
Day 2: Surgery Day
  • You need to fast for 8-12 hours prior to surgery, depending on the type of anesthesia planned.
  • Undergo the abdominal etching procedure, which may include techniques such as VASER liposuction, 360 liposuction, or the use of J Plasma for skin tightening.
  • Receive general or local anesthesia with sedation, based on the extent of the procedure.
  • Expect the procedure to last between 1-4 hours, depending on the complexity and additional treatments like J Plasma.
  • Stay overnight at the hospital for observation and initial recovery.
Day 3: Post-Operative Care
  • You will be discharged from the hospital and transferred to the hotel for continued recovery.
  • A private nurse may visit daily to monitor recovery progress and assist with any immediate post-operative care needs.
  • Begin wearing a post-operative garment to help reduce swelling and support the new abdominal contours.
  • Follow any prescribed medication regimen to manage pain and prevent infection.
  • Start gentle movement as advised by your healthcare provider to promote circulation and healing.
Day 4-6: Recovery and Follow-Up
  • Continue daily monitoring by medical staff or a visiting nurse to ensure proper healing.
  • Attend follow-up appointments with the surgeon to assess the results and make any necessary adjustments to the recovery plan.
  • Maintain a healthy diet and hydration to support the body's healing process.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and follow any specific exercise guidelines provided by the surgeon.
Day 7: Final Check-Up and Departure
  • Undergo a final examination by the surgeon to evaluate the surgical outcome and ensure readiness for travel.
  • Receive detailed post-operative care instructions for continued recovery at home.
  • Confirm that all stitches are internal, aesthetic, and self-absorbing, requiring no removal.
  • Arrange for a private transfer to the airport for your flight home.
  • Plan to return to work or normal activities approximately 7-8 days post-surgery, depending on individual recovery.
Additional Tips:
  • You should stop smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery to reduce complications and promote healing.
  • Ensure all pre-operative instructions are followed, including medication adjustments and fasting requirements.
  • Contact the clinic if you have any concerns or if unexpected symptoms arise during recovery.
  • Consider potential additional procedures, such as a mini tummy tuck, which may be discussed during the initial consultation.

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.

I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care
My arrival at Istanbul airport was smooth and efficient. I was met and transported to my hotel. My hotel was lovely. Transportation from hotel to hospitals on time and efficient. I met my advocate at international patient area, she had everything under control, all tests lined up and doctor appointments were fabulous. My advocate translated to my language at every appointment. I’m very happy with the service and I felt very “looked after”. My outcome is excellent and I’m so very glad I had the best doctor and best care.

From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle
I was on 29 September 2025 at Lockman hekim clinic for breast and eyelid reduction.All my fears and doubts were in vain. From the very beginning of my enquiry at Bookimed to the last taxi ride to the airport after the procedures, everything went without a single obstacle. Everything went smoothly and smoothly. We arrived very early, we were taken to the clinic and our interpreter Olga was already in touch with us. We were placed in a beautifully decorated room, on the same day all the necessary medical parameters were taken. The doctor clearly explained what would happen and how it would be done. We were in the clinic for 3 days and then to the hotel. It was also clean, beautifully designed, rich breakfast. I recommend Lokman Hekim and Dr Marat Yaman if you want to change your appearance.
Food, staff, I can't single out anything, everything was good.

That's why I recommend this clinic to my friends, and they too have been treated here several times and are ready to come back again, just like me
This is not my first experience with Dr Med because I trust this team. Experienced surgeons and competent support from the medical team. Timely support and assistance, both physical, emotional and psychological, help patients feel like they are in good hands. That's why I recommend this clinic to my friends, and they too have been treated here several times and are ready to come back again, just like me.🫰
If there were any problems that I did not like, I immediately contacted the counsellor/translator Raima to discuss them. In this way, all problems were solved as they arose. For this I am very grateful to Raima.🌸🫶

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

Thank you so much 😊
I am very grateful to all the staff for their attentiveness and prompt assistance. I travelled alone, but I didn't feel lonely, I had support from all sides ☺️ Transfer is super, I didn't even expect that it would be so VIP, the drivers are very well-mannered, attentive, careful driving! The hotel is great, I got even more than положено👍🏼 The interpreter Olga provided all kinds of help, support and was always there for me! 🫶 I had a difficult operation on my nose, but Murat Yaman is a professional and did everything to the maximum and even more, I do not regret that out of all the options I was offered I chose him 🥰 I hope my nose will be beautiful) Thank you so much 😊
Transfer, ward, doctor, interpreter, hotel, staff
Some of the staff when I was lying in the ward forgot to bring me ice, water, but that's the way it is, I understand that they have a high workload and can't keep everything in their heads, so in the end they brought it a little later ) This is a trifle and the only small minus, I would not take it into account compared to the way they ran over me.

5 points because I completely trust the whole team, especially Dr
I had my penile implant surgery at Men’s Health Clinic and the whole process went very smoothly. All the team was good and the organization almost perfect. Most of my questions were answered quickly and precisely. The only negative aspect I want to mention to keep others from having the same exoerience: I lost almost 4cm in length due to some special anatomy reasons, as I understand it and by now I am very happy with my implant but still a bit sad about every cm I lost, especially because nobody had told me before that this will/would/could happen. 5 points because I completely trust the whole team, especially Dr. Mete who was my actual surgeon as I found out and for those of you who are length-lovers, I would recommend some good information gathering beforehand! By now I found out, that the Coloplast implant does NOT grow in lenth, as the AMS does. An important information I had wisehd to have BEFORE.
The entire team is professional and the entire process went smoothly.
I lost 4cm in length. Very frustrating sied-effect

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.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience
I decided to get a hair transplant after doing some research and chose Dr. Hakan Ikizoglu through Bookimed. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the experience. Dr. Hakan Ikizoglu was excellent, very professional, charismatic, and supportive throughout the process. He explained everything clearly and personally handled the key parts of the procedure. The operation was smooth and almost painless, with a well-organized and experienced team. The support staff was also great. Transfer, translation, and overall coordination were handled perfectly, making everything stress-free. I would definitely recommend it.
What I liked the most was the doctor’s professionalism and support, as well as how smooth and well-organized the whole process was.
There was nothing I didn’t like, except the normal post-procedure discomfort, which is expected.

I give the highest mark to all these people and services
I would like to tell you about my case from the very beginning. A few years ago I approached the coordinator Stanislav about a hair transplant. He told me everything in general terms, what I was interested in, and made me interested in the proposal. I also explained that my work directly depends on my physical condition and I do not have a long break between contracts (my position is an aerial gymnast) and somehow this idea was put aside for 2 years and quite by chance we once again broached the subject of hair and literally in 3 days Stanislav was able to organise a clinic, a doctor, an interpreter, a hotel, and I was required to get tickets. Everything was organised as I said earlier in 3 days and that was it I am already in the hotel with transplanted hair and waiting for the result) if I evaluate all aspects of the service, clinic, doctors and hotel, I give the highest mark to all these people and services. Huge thanks to Stanislav, who helped me to agree even on the financial side, making it more favourable.
The transplant was done by a doctor and assistants
I would have liked more time in the hotel

This experience is simply incredible, I would recommend it to everyone
I am very grateful to the company Bukimed and my coordinators Kristina and Ali, who answered my questions very quickly, did not rush me in anything, were extremely loyal. I could even tell them what was bothering me in life and about my strange doubts, and they accepted them and supported me. This experience is simply incredible, I would recommend it to everyone. The clinic greeted me warmly, I read the contract for 5 hours, no one rushed me (I just translated every line). I went to the clinic for checkups, they immediately organized a transfer upon request, the result is excellent. I did not know what size of breasts I wanted by numbers because I could not imagine how it would be better for me, but my professional doctor understood me by microexpressions and did everything perfectly, she chose the best size for me according to the structure of my breasts. The support of the coordinators, medical staff is also 10/10. To be honest, I thought that I was just a client - who pays, but after the visit I realized that I was wrong - they treated me like a patient, but a person. I did not use the services of a translator, because I liked how we amusingly with the nurses explain what needs to be done by movements and in simple words
Everything, I don't even know what to highlight. From start to finish everything was perfect. The operation was successful, any requests were satisfied. Communication was super, cleanliness was super.
On the first day when I checked into the clinic (the day before the operation), I was a little scared at first because everyone didn't know English well, since in general I was scared before my first independent major operation
About Bookimed service
The coordinator is really available 24/7, and it's really a person, because at first I thought it was impossible and it was a bot, but no - it's a living person, I was shocked. She picked out clinics to choose from perfectly, she didn't rush me. Very cute

FAQ about Abdominal etching (Six Pack Abs) in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

What is the level of medicine in Turkey?

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Turkish government. The Turkish authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 77 billion liras for healthcare annually.

As a result, 28,000 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. About 50 centers have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

What should you know about Turkey before the trip?

Currencylira (you also can pay for services in dollars and euros)
Best period for the tripMay-October
LanguageTurkish (most of medical staff speaks English fluently)
Visais not required for a trip of at least 30 days per visit
Time difference with Europe3 hours
Time difference with the USA8 hours
CapitalAnkara
Medical tourism centerIstanbul
Popular resortsAlanya, Antalya, Kemer, Marmaris

What hotel services are provided here?

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

When is the best time to travel to Turkey?

The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.

Do I need a visa?

In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.

What states need a visa for treatment in Turkey and what countries can cross the border free and easy read here.

What documents are required to apply for a visa to Turkey for treatment?

Visas for travel to Turkey require a number of documents. The necessary papers can be submitted 90 days before the planned departure. Lists of documents includes:

  • ID card
  • confirmation of online registration and filling out the questionnaire
  • certificate of income and availability of funds ($50 per day per person)
  • insurance policy for a stay in Turkey (original and copy)
  • 2 photos (5x6)
  • visa receipt
  • booking of flight and hotel
  • medical opinion about the need for treatment.
