About the Medicana Health Group
Medicana Sağlık Grubu, the Medicana Health Group, was founded in 1992. It is a private group with hospitals in Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, İzmir, Konya, Samsun, Sivas and other cities across Türkiye.
The group covers a wide range of specialties, including general surgery, cardiology, oncology and organ transplantation. For patients coming from abroad, Medicana offers interpreting and coordination support.
Why Medicana appears in a body contouring site
Many women considering a mommy makeover are also thinking about their weight, and some first need, or prefer, a bariatric procedure. Body contouring after significant weight loss is a separate step that is usually considered later, once weight has settled.
New City Clinic plans bariatric and general surgery at Medicana, where the physician practises. If your goals involve both weight-loss surgery and later body contouring, we explain how the steps can be planned and which specialist and hospital would be involved in each.
In general terms, a group that covers general surgery, cardiology and oncology offers a broad hospital environment. Pre-operative tests and assessments take place within the hospital pathway, and the medical teams behind an operation are part of the same institution.
We do not list specific equipment, units or figures, because we only publish what we can confirm. Your physician decides which tests are needed, and these are written into your plan.
How New City Clinic organises treatment at Medicana
New City Clinic does not operate on patients itself. Your procedure is performed by a named specialist physician at a Medicana hospital licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health. The hospital and the physician are written in your plan before you travel.
Our team handles the practical side: your hotel, transfers between the airport, hotel and hospital, an interpreter at appointments and a coordinator who accompanies you from arrival until your flight home.
What a patient day looks like
On arrival, your coordinator meets you at the airport and takes you to the hotel. When it is time for the hospital, you are driven there and accompanied. The interpreter joins your appointments, so consultations, consent conversations and instructions are clear.
After your procedure, you remain in hospital for as long as your physician advises. At discharge you receive your reports. Your coordinator stays in touch during your recovery in Istanbul, and follow-up continues when you are home.
Choosing between partner hospitals
Medicana is used for bariatric and general surgery. For aesthetic and plastic surgery, including a mommy makeover with plastic surgeon Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, your plan will name the partner hospital where the plastic surgeon practises.
In short, the type of procedure and the physician decide the hospital. If you have a preference, let us know when you first get in touch.
Your package
A New City Clinic package at Medicana includes:

Thinking about weight and body contouring together
If you are weighing up bariatric surgery and a later mommy makeover, it helps to see the whole journey from the start. A body contouring plan is usually most predictable once weight has been stable for a while, and your specialists will advise on timing.
You do not need to decide everything at once. Send us your reports, your current weight and your goals, and we will tell you which specialist would review each part and which partner hospital would be involved. Each stage then has its own written plan, with the physician and hospital named.
Consent, recovery and follow-up
Before any operation, your physician explains the procedure, its risks and the recovery, with an interpreter present. Our legal department prepares your written contract, informed consent and data-protection documents, so you have the key terms in writing.
Complication insurance for surgery is included. Its scope, limits and exclusions are given to you in writing before surgery, and we encourage you to read them carefully and ask about anything that is unclear.
When you leave hospital you are given your reports, which you can show your own doctor. Your coordinator stays in touch while you rest in Istanbul and takes you to the airport for your flight. After that, follow-up continues at home, and we remain your point of contact for questions.
Practical notes and how to start
Flights are not included. Medicana has hospitals in several cities, but your treatment with us is organised in Istanbul, at the hospital named in your plan.
To begin, 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.
