How Much Does Buccal Fat Extraction Cost in Turkey?

Buccal fat extraction in Turkey typically costs from $1,300 to $1,900. The price depends on the clinic, the surgeon’s expertise, and whether the procedure is combined with other facial surgeries. In the United States, the average cost is $6,000 (per ASPS). This means buccal fat extraction in Turkey is about 73% less than in the U.S.

Turkish clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, post-op medications, follow-up consultations, and 24/7 patient support. English-speaking staff and personalized care plans are standard. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, tests, and follow-ups billed separately. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.

Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
My Experience at Dr. Med’ Clinic The team was absolutely wonderful. The surgery went smoothly, and I’m truly grateful to Dr. Yunus, all the clinic staff, and especially Dr. Yunus and Akylay. Everything was organized professionally, with care and efficiency. I underwent a deep plane facelift and neck lift, as well as upper and lower blepharoplasty. Overall, I am very satisfied with both the results and the service. My only suggestion would be this: for such major plastic surgeries, the patient should ideally stay at the clinic for at least 3 days under medical supervision. This is essential for proper recovery and peace of mind. Also, I would prefer that Dr. Yunus personally performs the bondage changes, as he does them best — and it noticeably speeds up the healing process. Aside from that, everything was top-notch: the team is responsive, caring, and highly professional. Thank you all for your care and excellent work!
I really appreciated the staff’s efficiency — their ability to respond quickly to my needs, react promptly to my messages, and show genuine care, empathy, and commitment to my smooth recovery and overall experience.
What I didn’t like was that the consultation took place on the same day we arrived. It was exhausting, as we were sleep-deprived, tired, and unable to fully process the information the doctor was giving us. It was an unpleasant experience. We had booked our flight based on a recommendation from the Doctor-Med clinic’s sales department. Another thing that disappointed us was being hospitalized for only one day — we had to extend the stay ourselves for the second day. I strongly believe that after such serious surgeries, the patient should be hospitalized for at least two days for proper medical supervision and recovery.

The medical staff for two days in the clinic doing good job and keep me under very serious medical surveillance
Complete face lift is not an easy proceed. It was without any pain at all long. The after surgery mask wearing is naturally uncomfortable and create difficulty to sleep. The medical staff for two days in the clinic doing good job and keep me under very serious medical surveillance. The clinic is very clean and I have not any problem to recovery, no eventual infection.
Professional approach of the clinic to the pre surgery, transfers and payments etc
The hotel moved me 3 times room to room ... and the end for a week in a basement without sunlight ... cleaning only twice ... expensive and very average quality of the food

There were no long waiting times. Neither during the examinations nor when the translation of questions asked the staff on the ward were immediately available when help was needed. All in all, I felt well looked after all round and very friendly.
Everything was very well organised throughout the transfer. The best thing was the support team around me around me .

I would definitely come again if I ever needed to
The team did everything they promised. Everything was well organized. I would definitely come again if I ever needed to.
What I liked the most was visiting the doctor’s office, when he gave me a lot of attention. That’s exactly what a person needs after surgery — the care and attention of a professional.
Postoperative care in the hospital. The nurses were supposed to take care of me, but I encountered complete indifference.

I’m truly grateful for the outstanding care I received
I couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of me during my procedure. The medical staff were not only highly skilled, but also incredibly kind, reassuring, and professional every step of the way. From pre-op to recovery, I felt completely supported and in safe hands. Their compassion and attention to detail made all the difference — I’m truly grateful for the outstanding care I received.

I wish all the staff Akylay who helped me through this a big thank you
I came to turkey on my own. The staff were lovely and so supportive. I felt secure and well cared for. I was treated at Hospital. My appointment with Dr suggested a few tweaks to the initial treatment plan and I was reassured by this that he had my best outcome in mind. He was very professional and gave you lots of confidence. I met my anaesthesiologist and the chief medical director. There was not one time I felt that I did not know what was going on. I wish all the staff Akylay who helped me through this a big thank you. It is only 5 days post surgery. But my checkup with Dr MED today went well. Very little pain and swelling going down nicely. A special mention to the staff at hotel Modus who looked after me with bags of ice for swelling and lovely food and to Akilay who was my guide through all this and made sure that not only did I get everything I needed…….but I made the most of my time here in Istanbul, which is a beautiful city.

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.
