The cost of a thigh lift in Turkey typically ranges from $3,600 to $5,300. Prices can vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the extent of skin removal, and whether liposuction is combined with the procedure. In the United States, the average cost is $10,000 (per ASPS). This means a thigh lift in Turkey is about 55% less than in the U.S.
Most Turkish clinics include pre-op tests, general anesthesia, the surgical procedure, post-op garments, prescription medications, and follow-up visits in their packages. In the U.S., the listed price usually covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospital stay, and aftercare billed separately. Always confirm exactly what is included at each clinic.

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.
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.
