For many Londoners, the question is not whether a facelift is worth it but how to fit it into a busy life and a sensible budget. New City Clinic answers both with a fixed package: a facelift for €3,000 or a face and neck lift for €4,500, including surgery, one night in hospital, hotel, transfers, an interpreter and complication insurance. In London, a private facelift on its own often costs several times more.
The planning starts at home. You send photos of your face from the front, both sides and at 45°, and Op. Dr. Fatih Kılıç, a plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon, reviews them. Your written plan names the technique, the partner hospital and the number of nights, so you know exactly what you are booking before you choose a flight. Everything is also explained on the official website, newcityclinic.com.
| Nearest airport | Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) or Stansted (STN) |
|---|---|
| Flight to Istanbul | about 4 h, direct |
| Time difference | +2 h in summer, +3 h in winter |
| Stay in Türkiye | 8–10 days |
Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted all have direct flights to Istanbul, for example with Turkish Airlines, and the journey takes about four hours. Because the choice of departures is wide, you can usually match your flight to the surgery date in your New City Clinic quote rather than the other way round. You are met at Istanbul airport and driven to your hotel.
Plan eight to ten days in Istanbul for a facelift and about two weeks off work in total. Spring and autumn are popular because the weather is mild for short walks during recovery, but surgery is planned all year. A companion is recommended for a full facelift; if you travel alone, your coordinator keeps in daily contact.
Once you are back in London, New City Clinic continues your follow-up by photo and video call with the team and the surgeon. It is still wise to tell your GP that you have had surgery abroad and to keep your discharge summary to hand, so that any local doctor has the full picture.
