Acıbadem Healthcare Group, Istanbul

About the Acıbadem Healthcare Group

Acıbadem Sağlık Grubu, known in English as the Acıbadem Healthcare Group, was founded in Istanbul in 1991. It has since grown into a network of numerous hospitals and medical centres, both in Türkiye and abroad.

Since 2012 the group has been part of IHH Healthcare. Alongside its hospitals, Acıbadem includes Acıbadem University, which provides medical education, as well as laboratory and imaging centres. For patients travelling from overseas, the group has a dedicated international patient unit.

What this means for aesthetic and body surgery

A mommy makeover usually combines several procedures, such as a tummy tuck, liposuction and a breast lift or augmentation. Procedures of this kind belong in a hospital setting, where pre-operative tests, the operation itself and your stay on the ward all take place under one roof.

Within a group that has its own laboratory and imaging resources, the tests your surgeon asks for before surgery are part of the same hospital pathway rather than something you organise elsewhere. We describe this in general terms only: the specific tests you need are decided by your physician and listed in your plan.

How New City Clinic organises treatment at Acıbadem

New City Clinic does not operate on patients itself. We plan aesthetic and plastic surgery at the Acıbadem hospital where the physician practises and which suits your preference. Because Acıbadem has several hospitals, the specific one is named in your written plan, together with the physician who will treat you.

For a mommy makeover the plastic surgeon is Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a plastic, oncology and reconstructive surgeon. Your plan sets out the procedures he proposes, the hospital and the price, so you can review everything before you book a flight.

A typical day around your surgery

Your coordinator meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel. On the day of your hospital visit you are accompanied to the hospital, where an interpreter is present at your appointments. You meet the physician, go through the plan again, and complete the tests that have been arranged.

After surgery you stay in hospital as your physician advises. Your coordinator remains your single point of contact, and the interpreter helps with any conversation with the medical team. At discharge you receive your reports, and you return to your hotel before your flight home.

Choosing between our partner hospitals

Patients sometimes ask whether Acıbadem is “better” than another partner hospital. We do not rank hospitals, and you will not find rankings on this site. The deciding factor is the physician: you are treated where your specialist practises.

If you have a preference for Acıbadem, perhaps because you know the name or because a university-linked group matters to you, tell us at the start. We take it into account when the plan is written.

What your package includes

Whichever Acıbadem hospital is named in your plan, the package covers:

• Treatment by a named specialist physician
• Hospital stay and tests
• Hotel and transfers
• Interpreter and coordinator
• Complication insurance for surgery

Practical notes and preparation

Flights are not included in the package; you book them once your dates are confirmed. Everything on the ground, from the airport pick-up to the return transfer, is arranged for you.

Acıbadem is an Istanbul-founded group with several sites, so the location of your hospital depends on which one is in your plan. Your coordinator handles all transfers, so you do not need to find your own way around the city.

Most of the preparation happens at home. Once you have your written plan, you can read about the Acıbadem group, check the hospital named in it and come back to us with questions. We would much rather answer them in advance than in the hospital corridor.

Your plan lists the procedures proposed by the physician, the hospital, what the package includes and the price. If your medical history changes before travel, or you start a new medication, tell us so the physician can review the plan again. When you are ready, you book your flight and send us the details, and your coordinator arranges the airport pick-up.

Consent, insurance and follow-up

Your physician will talk you through the procedure, its risks and the recovery before surgery, with the interpreter present. You receive informed consent documents prepared by our legal department, together with your written contract and data-protection documents.

Complication insurance for surgery is part of the package. Its scope, limits and exclusions are given to you in writing before surgery, so you know what it covers before you sign anything.

At discharge you receive your reports, which you can share with your own doctor at home. Follow-up continues after your return: you stay in contact with us, and questions about your recovery are passed on to the physician who treated you.

Send your reports and photos on WhatsApp to +90 552 859 50 34. The specialist reviews them free of charge, and you usually receive a written plan and price within 24 hours, with the hospital and the physician named.
