The figure and what sits behind it
At New City Clinic in Istanbul, the facelift package is €3,000. That is not the surgeon’s fee on its own: it is the complete cost of the medical side of your trip, from being met at the airport to the final check before you fly home. The written quote you receive after your free photo assessment states the same figure and names the hospital.
If your plan grows to include the neck, the package becomes the face and neck lift at €4,500. Eyelid surgery on its own is €3,300. When a facelift is combined with other procedures, the surgeon prices the combination in one quote, so you never have to add up separate bills yourself.
Everything included in the package
The package is designed so that, once you land, there is nothing left to arrange or pay for on the medical side. It covers:
- The operation by a plastic surgeon, usually 3–5 hours under general anaesthesia
- One night in a private hospital licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health
- Hotel accommodation in Istanbul for the rest of your stay
- Airport and hotel–hospital transfers
- Pre-operative blood tests and the anaesthesia assessment
- A patient coordinator and interpreter
- Post-operative garments and dressings where needed
- Complication insurance
What you budget for separately
Because these items are bundled, you are not asked to pay separately for the anaesthetist, the hospital room, the blood tests or the trips between hotel and hospital. That matters when you compare clinics, as some quotes look lower simply because those items are missing. If anything in your written quote from New City Clinic is unclear, ask the coordinator to confirm it in writing before you pay a deposit, so there are no surprises on arrival.
Flights are not part of the package, and neither are meals outside the hotel, personal travel insurance or shopping. Plan 8–10 days in Istanbul for a facelift and roughly two weeks away from work in total, which is often the largest hidden cost for people who are self-employed.
If someone travels with you, ask New City Clinic in advance how a companion is accommodated. Many patients bring a partner or friend for a full facelift, and it is easier to have this written into the plan than to sort it out on arrival.
Comparing quotes fairly
Private facelift surgery in the UK or Ireland usually costs several times more for the operation alone, which is why many people look abroad. The lower price in Turkey reflects hospital running costs, salaries and the exchange rate, not a shortcut in care. Still, the cheapest quote is rarely the best comparison point.
Put any two quotes side by side and check the surgeon’s name and specialty, the hospital, the number of nights, whether tests and insurance are included and how follow-up works once you are home. You can see the full price list on the official website, newcityclinic.com, and request the same written detail from any clinic you are considering.
Finally, think about timing. Booking a few weeks ahead gives you time to stop smoking, adjust medication with your GP and arrange time off without pressure, which is worth more than any small saving.
