How Much Does Abdominal Liposuction Cost in Turkey?

The cost of abdominal liposuction in Turkey typically ranges from $700 to $3,600. Prices can vary depending on the clinic, the surgeon’s experience, the amount of fat removed, and whether advanced techniques like VASER or laser-assisted liposuction are used. In the United States, the average cost is $7,500 (per ASPS). This means abdominal liposuction in Turkey is about 71% less than in the U.S.

Turkish clinics usually include the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, hospital stay, compression garments, post-op medications, and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., the listed cost often only covers the surgeon’s fee, while anesthesia, facility charges, and aftercare are billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your chosen clinic.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am satisfied with the results
I applied to organise a blepharoplasty procedure in July. I was offered several doctors and clinics. There was also an online consultation. After a month in Antalya, I had a consultation with a doctor at the clinic and after the operation. All this time Valeria accompanied me and was in touch with me. I am satisfied with the results. If I need anything else, I will contact only here.

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

I am satisfied with everything! The Russian-speaking interpreter provided for constant contact, as well as post-operative communication support and organisation and other medical issues. The plastic surgeon, professional, sensitive, experienced, personalised, individual approach, the surgery was individual, not included in the services. Thank you for that! Genicologist, experienced doctor and surgeon with experience. A mini surgery was also done, which is not included in the services. For this also a special thank you. It is a pleasure to deal with such doctors. I am not one of those who is looking for cheaper, I am one who is looking for professionals in their work. I will contact you in the future ...

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.

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

I recently underwent a procedure for my deviated septum, and I am beyond thrilled with the results! I can finally breathe with ease, and the whole experience has been life-changing. The surgeon was absolutely amazing—so humble, professional, and incredibly skilled. The results speak for themselves, and I’m so grateful for the excellent job he did. I also want to highlight the fantastic support from Bookimed and their team. Maria, my coordinator, was exceptional.

Hisar Hospital was another highlight—clean, modern, and with a team of incredible nurses and staff who made sure I was comfortable and well-informed throughout my recovery. I could not have asked for a better experience. Bookimed is super reliable, and I highly recommend their services. If you’re considering this procedure, don't hesitate to reach out to them.

How long should I plan to stay in the country after the surgery to ensure proper recovery?

It's recommended to stay in Turkey for at least 5-7 days post-surgery for initial recovery and follow-up appointments. This duration allows time for monitoring immediate post-operative progress before traveling back home.

What post-operative care will be provided before I return home?

Post-operative care typically includes follow-up examinations, medication prescriptions, and guidance on recovery practices such as wearing compression garments. Clinics often provide detailed instructions on how to manage your recovery once you return home.

How can I manage my anxiety about undergoing surgery in a foreign country?

Researching thoroughly about the procedure, choosing a reputable clinic, and having open communication with your surgeon can alleviate anxiety. Additionally, arranging for a companion during your trip can provide emotional support throughout your stay.

Will my health insurance cover any part of the procedure or related expenses in Turkey?

Most health insurance plans do not cover elective cosmetic procedures abroad. It's essential to check with your provider about coverage specifics and consider purchasing additional travel insurance that includes medical tourism coverage.

What are the hidden costs associated with traveling for surgery, such as accommodation and transportation?

Beyond the procedure cost, consider expenses like flights, extended accommodation beyond included days, meals, and local transportation. Some packages include hotel stays and airport transfers; however, verify all inclusions beforehand to avoid unexpected costs.

How do I ensure the clinic meets international health and safety standards?

Ensure the clinic is accredited by international bodies like ISAPS or JCI. These accreditations indicate adherence to rigorous safety protocols and high-quality care standards. Visiting the clinic's website or contacting them directly for accreditation details can provide further assurance.

What if I experience complications or need follow-up care once I return home?

If complications arise after returning home, contact your Turkish clinic immediately as many offer virtual follow-up consultations. Additionally, it's wise to arrange for a local healthcare provider who can assist with any urgent post-operative care needs.

Are there any language barriers I might face during my medical trip?

Many clinics in Turkey cater to international patients and have English-speaking staff or translators available. It's advisable to confirm language support services before your trip to ensure clear communication throughout your treatment process.

What should I expect in terms of recovery time after the procedure?

Recovery from abdominal liposuction typically takes 1 to 2 weeks for initial healing, with full recovery taking up to 6 weeks. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort during this period, which should be managed with prescribed medications and wearing a compression garment.

How do I verify the qualifications and experience of the surgeon?

To verify a surgeon's qualifications, check if they are members of recognized organizations like ISAPS or the Turkish Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Review their credentials, years of experience, and patient testimonials. Many clinics also offer direct consultations where you can discuss the surgeon's expertise.

Is it safe to travel to a Turkish clinic for a medical procedure like belly fat removal?

Turkey is a popular destination for medical tourism due to its accredited facilities and experienced surgeons. Many clinics are certified by international organizations such as ISAPS, ensuring adherence to global safety standards. However, it's crucial to research thoroughly and choose a reputable clinic.

What are the potential risks and complications associated with stomach liposuction?

Abdominal liposuction carries risks such as infection, bleeding, asymmetry, and changes in skin sensation. Rarely, more severe complications like fat embolism or organ damage can occur. It's important to discuss these risks with your surgeon and ensure that they have a plan to manage any potential complications.

How convenient is the clinic location and access?

Patients consistently praise the seamless logistics, with airport transfers described as 'luxurious' and 'perfect.' Clinics provide comprehensive support including comfortable transfers to quality hotels and 24/7 coordination throughout the stay. Some experienced longer travel times due to Istanbul traffic—one patient's 15-minute trip became an hour-long journey, calling it 'Turkey time.' However, the overall organization remains 'excellent' with everything running 'so smoothly and efficiently.' Hotels receive high marks for attentive service, with staff bringing meals to rooms when patients couldn't walk far post-surgery. The complete package makes international patients feel well-cared for from arrival to departure.

Are there any hidden or extra costs?

Based on patient experiences, the pricing appears transparent with no unexpected charges mentioned in reviews. One patient specifically noted finding treatment at an 'affordable price' in Turkey after being quoted costs that were 'off the charts' in European clinics. The comprehensive packages seem to include airport transfers, accommodation, and medical care as promised. Some patients experienced longer wait times for doctor appointments, though this didn't affect the overall cost structure. Patients describe the pricing as matching what was initially discussed, with one calling the organization 'good' overall and appreciating that everything was handled smoothly from start to finish.

How safe is the procedure?

Patient experiences reveal strong safety protocols with doctors prioritizing patient wellbeing above all else. One remarkable case shows how medical teams handled a blood pressure spike during surgery—the anesthesiologist and surgeon immediately stopped the procedure when readings fluctuated between 90-150, demonstrating careful monitoring and quick decision-making. Patients describe procedures going 'smoothly and without complications' with professional teams that inspire confidence. Dr. Ergin Er gets praised for ensuring patients don't do 'anything unhealthy,' while post-operative care includes hourly monitoring and 24/7 support. The overall impression is of medical teams who put safety first, even when it means modifying surgical plans.

Is the procedure or recovery painful?

Based on patient experiences, abdominal liposuction involves manageable discomfort rather than severe pain. One patient described it as a 'clean sort of pain' that feels like being 'bloomin sore like you've been punched.' The liposuction itself was less painful than expected, though muscle repair areas caused more discomfort. Another noted the anesthesia was 'mild' with a smooth recovery. Patients emphasize the importance of bringing adequate paracetamol and staying mobile—walking frequently helps with both pain and swelling management. Early mobility within hours of surgery is encouraged and beneficial for recovery.

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 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.
