- Consultations: UK prices often exclude consultations; our online assessment is free.
- What to add for Istanbul: flights, time off work and about 7 days in Istanbul for a tummy tuck.
- Aftercare: in the UK your surgeon is nearby; with us, aftercare runs online for a year with photo and video check-ins. It is sensible to let your GP know.
- NHS treatment: cosmetic surgery is rarely available on the NHS. If you qualify on medical grounds, that route will be cheaper.
When Istanbul is not the right choice
If you cannot travel for 5–10 days, if your procedure is funded, or if having your surgeon close by matters more to you than the price.
