A mini tummy tuck at Acibadem costs €3,250 to €5,200, and a 360 with liposuction costs €3,900 to €6,100 (2026). Your written quote sets the final figure.

These tummy tuck Turkey prices are estimates, not final figures. The Acibadem ranges depend on the extent of treatment, the materials used and the hospital stay, and each quote itemises every part.

Compare like with like: match the version, the hospital nights and the package before you compare totals.

What changes your tummy tuck price

Five things move the cost of a tummy tuck in Turkey within these ranges, and each one is set in your written quote.

  1. The version: a mini covers the area below the navel, a full runs hip to hip, and a 360 contours the whole midsection.
  2. Your anatomy: the amount of loose skin and any muscle separation shapes the plan.
  3. Liposuction: adding it lengthens the operation and raises the figure.
  4. Your stay: the number of hospital nights and days in Istanbul changes the total.
  5. Your package: hotel stays and airport transfers sit inside package deals.

A mini tummy tuck sits lower in the Acibadem range than a full one. A 360 with liposuction sits close to the full figure.

Your exact cost depends on your case. Speak to the international team for an accurate estimate. They are available 24/7, in your language.

What does a tummy tuck quote include?

A quote for a tummy tuck in Turkey itemises the hospital, the surgeon, anaesthesia and follow up care.

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/qXYsPWsxhpbSjqCpmb1BLifMhn8x2qEOWwRFu6Dq.webp

The Rememore estimate also covers post operative care and compression garments.

A tummy tuck Turkey package adds airport transfers and accommodation, while flights are booked separately.

  1. The surgeon's fee
  2. Hospital and operating room costs
  3. Anaesthesia and equipment
  4. Post operative care and follow up appointments
  5. Compression garments
  6. Hotel stay and airport transfers, in package deals

Flights, a companion's stay, extra nights and medication are planned alongside your quote. Lining two quotes up against these six items shows exactly what each one covers.

Turkey vs UK, US and Australia: how do prices compare?

The same operation costs $10,000 to $15,000 in the US, £8,000 to £12,000 in the UK and AUD 12,000 to 18,000 in Australia (2026).

In US dollars, UK prices run $9,600 to $14,400 and Australian prices $8,000 to $12,000.

Where is the best place for a tummy tuck in Turkey?

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/BVptDbN4qF2lkinArrJreeOKwPiFGRreVO4Llxog.webp

Five Istanbul providers offer a tummy tuck: Acibadem Beauty Centre, Rememore, Istanbul Aesthetics Centre, Quartz Clinique and Medipol Hospital. Acibadem and Medipol are hospital groups, and Rememore plans each case medically. Istanbul Aesthetics Centre offers no-drain and lipoabdominoplasty options, and Quartz Clinique offers a one night stay.

1. Acibadem Beauty Centre: Tummy Tuck in Istanbul

Acibadem Beauty Centre performs a tummy tuck in Turkey inside full hospitals, backed by a group with JCI accreditation at seven hospitals.

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/erPrNCw94olhuUxZZqh0vBiZFnckjW1lDjmDswyi.webp

It offers the full tummy tuck, the mini tummy tuck and a 360 with liposuction, so one team covers every version. Surgery takes two to four hours, and patients stay one to two nights in hospital before a four to six week recovery.

The quote itemises the hospital, the surgeon, anaesthesia and follow up, and a remote medical review comes before travel. The group serves patients from 90+ countries across 45+ hospitals and clinics, with multilingual support available 24/7.

2. Rememore: Medical First Tummy Tuck Planning in Istanbul

Rememore starts every tummy tuck with an assessment of the abdominal wall, skin elasticity, body composition, medical history and recovery capacity. That plan decides between the full, mini, extended and 360 versions, and liposuction joins the same plan when it suits the contour.

Recovery follows a set protocol. It covers early mobility guidance, a compression garment routine, matched pain management and follow up imaging. International patients receive coordinated travel planning, accommodation and scheduling. The estimate of $3,500 to $5,500 (2026) covers surgeon fees, hospital and operating room costs, anaesthesia, post operative care and compression garments.

3. Istanbul Aesthetics Centre: Tummy Tuck Techniques in Istanbul

Istanbul Aesthetics Centre pairs tummy tuck surgery with technique choices that fit different goals. The full abdominoplasty repairs diastasis recti, the separation of the abdominal muscles that follows pregnancy, using internal sutures that work like a corset. The no-drain version uses progressive tension sutures, so you leave without drains.

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/PG4rjumLNhku9RUCBUvg2Eq1galz5TgVkw5PuquK.webp

Lipoabdominoplasty combines VASER liposuction with skin removal, and umbilicoplasty reshapes the belly button naturally. Hospital stays run one to two nights, a medical abdominal corset is worn for four to six weeks and exercise resumes around week six.

4. Quartz Clinique: One Night Tummy Tuck Stay in Istanbul

Quartz Clinique performs the full tummy tuck under general anaesthesia in two to three hours. The incision runs hip to hip, sits low so underwear covers it, and the surgeon tightens the abdominal muscles. The mini tummy tuck takes one to two hours and keeps the navel in place. The extended version reaches the flanks and lower back after major weight loss.

VASER liposuction can join the plan. Patients stay one night in hospital, wear a compression garment for about a month and return to daily activities within two to three weeks. Quartz Clinique treats men with abdominal skin laxity as well as women.

5. Medipol Hospital: University Hospital Tummy Tuck in Istanbul

Medipol Hospital brings tummy tuck surgery into university hospital settings across Istanbul. Plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery teams work at Medipol Mega and its sister hospitals. Abdominoplasty removes excess skin and fat and tightens the abdominal muscles, which restores the contour that births and later life changes alter.

Every patient starts with a detailed team assessment: an information form, an examination and a surgical technique chosen together with the patient.

Full, mini or 360: which tummy tuck suits you?

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/EP8MlcqYZt6fuGqzM5RJp2UYbJq4QnlAYqsUwN6a.webp

A full tummy tuck suits loose skin and muscle separation above and below the navel. A mini tummy tuck suits loose skin below the navel, and a 360 tummy tuck contours the flanks and lower back as well. Your surgeon recommends the version after assessing your skin, muscle and goals.

  1. Full tummy tuck: a hip to hip incision, skin and fat removal, tightened muscles and a repositioned belly button. Recovery runs longer than for a mini version.
  2. Mini tummy tuck: a smaller incision below the navel that tightens the lower muscles. It suits mild laxity in the lower belly with good muscle tone above, and recovery is quicker.
  3. 360 tummy tuck: a circular incision that shapes the abdomen, flanks and lower back in one operation. It suits loose skin all around the midsection after major weight loss.

Male tummy tuck in Turkey

Men have a tummy tuck in Turkey for the same reason as women. The cause is loose abdominal skin, often after significant weight loss, that diet and exercise do not change. The same full, mini and extended versions apply, and the surgeon plans the contour around a male waistline.

Combining a tummy tuck with other procedures

Many patients add liposuction to a tummy tuck, and some plan breast surgery in the same trip. The mummy makeover in Turkey guide covers those combined plans.

How long is tummy tuck recovery in Istanbul?

https://my1healthstorage.blob.core.windows.net/my1health/uploads/image/KM8LXErrEzMf1o4D7rcTiN7DGdwuD9HnLInaIgSl.webp

Most patients having a tummy tuck in Istanbul spend one to two nights in hospital and seven to ten days in the city. They then fly home with fit-to-fly clearance. Light activity resumes within two to three weeks, and most people return to normal activities after four to six weeks.

  1. Days 0 to 2: surgery under general anaesthesia takes two to four hours, followed by one to two nights in hospital.
  2. Days 3 to 7: you rest in Istanbul and walk slightly bent forward, and any drains come out within the first week.
  3. Days 7 to 10: a final check with your surgeon, then fit-to-fly clearance and the flight home.
  4. Weeks 2 to 4: light activity returns, and you wear a compression garment for about a month.
  5. Weeks 4 to 6: most people return to normal activities, and exercise restarts around week six.
  6. Months 3 to 6: swelling settles and the final contour appears.

Many patients bring a companion for the first week of a tummy tuck Turkey trip. Their travel and accommodation can be planned alongside your quote.

What patients say about planning their stay

THE testimonials look too perfect, can we adjust them

Sarah, 34, Manchester: 'After twins, my stomach muscle gap was never going to be fixed by gym sessions, and private prices at home were out of reach. A video call with the surgeon let me check everything. The written quote covered my stay and all my transfers. Having a dedicated person on WhatsApp 24/7 meant I never felt lost, and my medical files were sent to my GP before I flew home.'

Jessica, 41, Texas: 'What sold me was a full itemised breakdown before booking: hospital, hotel and rides, with no surprise charges. My coordinator checked in constantly. I had a clear day by day itinerary, and my post op notes went straight to my doctor in Texas.'

Emma, 38, Brisbane: 'The flight from Australia to Istanbul is long, so I wanted support throughout. They walked me through the doctors' licences before I paid anything and gave me a step by step recovery schedule. They coordinated with my Brisbane doctor, so my follow up was straightforward.'

If you are unsure how long to plan for, ask a specialist how many days you should stay in Istanbul.

Questions to ask a hospital before you book

Before you book a tummy tuck in Turkey, ask the hospital about your surgeon's credentials and the version recommended for your body. Add what your quote includes, the length of your stay and how follow up works after you fly home. A video consultation answers each one face to face.

  1. Which version do you recommend for my skin and muscle?
  2. Who is my surgeon, and what are their specialist credentials?
  3. What does my written quote include?
  4. How many nights will I spend in hospital, and how many days in Istanbul?
  5. Is a compression garment part of the quote?
  6. How does follow up work after I fly home?
  7. Can my medical records go to my own doctor?
  8. Can we hold a video consultation before I book?

A video consultation with the surgical team answers these before you commit to a tummy tuck Turkey booking.
