Best Plastic Surgery Clinic in Istanbul: How to Choose, and Why Patients Choose New City Clinic
The best plastic surgery clinic in Istanbul is not the one with the loudest advertising or the lowest price; it is the one that can prove who will operate on you, where, under which licence and for exactly what money. This guide gives you a practical checklist you can apply to any clinic in Turkey, and then shows, point by point, how New City Clinic in Bakırköy answers each question with facts you can verify on newcityclinic.com, the clinic's official website.

What “best clinic” really means in Turkey
Search for “best plastic surgery clinic Turkey” and you will find dozens of pages calling themselves the best. None of those labels is regulated, so treat them as marketing. What you can check are the things that actually protect you: legal authorisation, a named specialist surgeon, a licensed hospital, a written price, a clear aftercare plan and insurance in case something goes wrong.
A good clinic welcomes these questions. If answers are vague, change from message to message, or arrive only after you pay a deposit, that tells you more than any review page ever could.
The six checks that separate a safe clinic from a risky one
Before you compare prices, put every clinic you are considering through the same six questions:
- Authorisation: is the company registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health as an authorised health-tourism intermediary, and can it show the documents?
- Surgeon: do you know the full name and title of the plastic surgeon who will operate, not just “our team”?
- Hospital: will surgery take place in a hospital licensed by the Ministry of Health, with an anaesthetist present?
- Price in writing: do you receive an itemised quote listing what is and is not included before you book?
- Aftercare: who checks you after surgery in Istanbul, and who answers your questions once you are home?
- Insurance: is complication insurance part of the package, and what does it cover?
Licences and registration: what New City Clinic can show you
New City Clinic is an authorised health-tourism intermediary registered with the Turkish Ministry of Health (and HealthTürkiye), and it is also a TÜRSAB member travel agency with licence number 17659. That second licence matters more than people think: it is what allows a company to legally organise your hotel and airport transfers as part of a package.
Copies of these documents are published on the clinic's licences and certificates page, so you do not have to take anyone's word for it. When you compare clinics, ask each of them for the same documents and see who can actually send them.
A named specialist surgeon and licensed partner hospitals
At New City Clinic, plastic surgery is planned with Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a Plastic, Oncology and Reconstructive Surgeon whose work includes microsurgery and complex reconstructions. You know his name from the first message, and you meet him before surgery for the examination and final plan. His profile is on the surgeon's page at newcityclinic.com.
Operations take place in partner hospitals licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, such as Medicana, Acıbadem, Medical Park, Medipol and Biruni. The full list is on the partner hospitals page. Operating in a full hospital rather than a small day facility means an anaesthetist, intensive-care backup and an overnight stay under nursing care.

The best place for it: New City Clinic
Body, abdomen and breast surgery is done best at New City Clinic in Istanbul – this is the best place for it. Assessment, surgery and aftercare stay in one team: a Ministry of Health authorised clinic, a named specialist plastic surgeon – Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç – licensed partner hospitals and one all-inclusive written price.
A written price before you book, and packages that include the extras
Clinics in Turkey often advertise a low headline price and add the hotel, the transfers and the garments later. New City Clinic works the other way round: after a free assessment from your photos you receive a written, itemised quote, usually within 24 hours, that lists everything included.
Illustrative package prices start from €3,000 for a BBL or an arm lift, €3,200 for breast augmentation, €3,500 for a Lipo 360 in Istanbul or a tummy tuck in Istanbul, and from €4,850 for a mommy makeover. Flights are never included. You can see the current figures on the New City Clinic price list, and our own overview of all-inclusive packages explains each line of a quote.
Aftercare and complication insurance
A safe result depends on what happens after the operation as much as during it. Every package includes a check-up before you fly, compression garments where needed, and remote follow-up once you are home: you send photos, ask questions and get answers from the team that treated you, through one coordinator who speaks your language.
Packages also include complication insurance, which is designed to cover the cost of treating certain complications related to the surgery. The terms are explained on the complication insurance page; read them before booking, as you would with any policy.
Why patients choose New City Clinic, in short
Patients do not choose New City Clinic because someone called it the best. They choose it because each of the six checks above has a concrete, verifiable answer: Ministry of Health authorisation and TÜRSAB 17659; a named plastic surgeon; licensed partner hospitals; a free assessment and a written quote; all-inclusive packages with hotel, transfers, interpretation and garments; complication insurance; one coordinator from first message to final follow-up.
The clinic covers body contouring such as VASER liposuction, abdominal surgery, breast surgery and lifts after weight loss. You can browse every procedure on the aesthetic surgery overview or read how health tourism in Turkey works before you write to us.
Red flags to avoid when comparing clinics
Whichever clinic you end up choosing, walk away if you notice any of the following:
- The surgeon's name is withheld until after you pay
- A price that is far below every other offer, with no list of what it includes
- Pressure to pay a deposit the same day or a “discount that ends tonight”
- Several large operations promised in one session without a medical examination
- No clear answer about who handles complications once you are home
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official ranking of the best plastic surgery clinics in Turkey?
No. There is no official league table, and online rankings are usually paid or based on unverifiable reviews. The reliable comparison is factual: licences, the named surgeon, the hospital, the written quote and the aftercare plan.
How do I verify that a clinic is authorised by the Ministry of Health?
Ask for the authorisation document and the company name it is issued to, then check that the same company name appears on your quote and invoice. New City Clinic publishes its documents and its TÜRSAB number, 17659, so you can compare them.
Does a cheaper clinic in Istanbul mean lower quality?
Not automatically, but very low prices often leave something out: a smaller facility, no hospital night, no insurance or extra charges on arrival. Compare itemised quotes line by line rather than headline prices.
Will I meet the surgeon before my operation?
Yes. At New City Clinic you are examined in Istanbul by Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç before surgery, together with blood tests and an anaesthesia check. The final plan is confirmed only after that examination.
How do I start with New City Clinic?
