Mommy Makeover Packages in Turkey: Published Prices and Inclusions

Turkish hospitals often sell a mommy makeover with a hotel and transfers wrapped into one price, which is why this search is so common. The packages below are published on Bookimed for hospitals in our catalog. They are listing prices, and they can move. Use them to frame a written quote. xcuro earns a referral fee from clinics, so read these rows with that in mind.

Why these three prices are so far apart

The range looks wide because these are different bundles.

• Memorial Bahçelievler's package is the most extensive. Bookimed describes 360 liposuction, a tummy tuck, a breast lift and a BBL in one session, followed by 2 hospital nights and 8 hotel nights, with VIP transfers, compression garments, a medical bra and a year of online follow-up (Bookimed).
• Hisar Hospital's is sold as premium with Mentor CPG gel implants, and it typically covers a tummy tuck, breast lift with implants, liposuction, 2 hospital nights, a hotel stay, transfers and post-op garments (Bookimed). The listing shows $10,104, but its description says around $9,030.
• DR MED is mentioned by Bookimed as starting around $12,200 with post-op care included, without a full inclusion list (Bookimed). Ask for one before you compare.

We also found $7,500 listed on PlacidWay for a mommy makeover in Istanbul, but the page does not clearly name the provider, so we left it out. Very low prices are worth extra questions, since they sometimes come with fewer nights or fewer procedures.

Is a full-day operation the right plan?

A bundle like this means one long operation. Bookimed describes a 5 to 6 hour surgery for the largest package (Bookimed). Ask your surgeon whether your health supports doing it all at once, or whether two stages would be safer, even if that loses the package price. A BBL also carries specific risks, and ASPS has published urgent warnings about them (ASPS). Read Is it safe to get a BBL in Turkey? if a package adds one.

The nights are the real inclusion

With a package from Turkey, the hotel nights decide your flight date. The CDC advises delaying air travel for 10 to 14 days after major surgery, especially surgery involving the chest, and flying after surgery can raise your risk of blood clots (CDC). Compare that with your package. Two hospital nights plus eight hotel nights is about ten days. A plan with fewer nights will leave you paying for your own hotel, or flying home sooner than the CDC's guidance suggests. A flight from New York is 9 hours 39 minutes nonstop, and from Los Angeles it is 13 hours 13 minutes (KAYAK, KAYAK). Read how long after surgery you can fly and our Istanbul mommy makeover page.

What these packages usually leave out

• Your international airfare. U.S. nonstops average roughly $950 to $1,073 round trip (New York, L.A.).
• A companion's flight, and sometimes their meals and room.
• Extra hotel nights beyond the package.
• Treatment of complications. The State Department says some private Turkish hospitals want payment up front for expensive procedures and that hospitals often charge foreign patients higher prices (State Department).
• Follow-up at home. Plan on paying your own U.S. doctor.

How to compare offers side by side

What to get in writing before you pay a deposit

• The surgeon's full name, and who else will operate or assist.
• All procedures and the final price in dollars, including tax.
• What happens if the surgeon changes the plan on arrival.
• The refund policy if blood tests or the pre-op exam rule you out.
• Any complication policy. Do not assume there is one. Ask for the document.
• Your records: operative notes and implant cards in English.

Advisory and entry

Turkey is Level 2, and the areas near the Syrian and Iraqi borders are Level 4 (State Department). U.S. citizens need no visa for 90 days or less on a tourist passport, and passports need 6 months of validity beyond arrival (State Department). Our Turkey safety guide has more.

Total cost from the U.S.

Cosmetic surgery is generally not a medical expense for the IRS (IRS Pub 502), and Medicare and Medicaid do not pay abroad (State Department). Add flights, a companion and extra nights in the cost calculator, then compare with U.S. prices. Our mommy makeover in Turkey guide and Turkey vs. Mexico comparison can help you decide.
