What this typically costs, per single-area procedure
These ranges are here to help you budget before you request a quote. Final pricing comes from the independent clinic after physician review.
These are rough ranges from public sources — not quotes, and not Astramedica's prices. Your real cost is set by the partner surgeon based on the number of areas, technique, and any combined steps like fat transfer.

Program at a glance
What matters most, at a glance
A fast, patient-friendly summary of the service, likely travel window, and how the coordination works.
What this program is
Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes pockets of fat that don't shift with diet or exercise. Partner surgeons in Turkey use modern methods like VASER (ultrasound-assisted) and laser-assisted liposuction, and some can transfer the fat to another area (for example, a BBL or facial contouring).
Commonly explored by
Adults at a stable weight who want to refine specific areas — abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chin — that haven't responded to lifestyle changes. Only the partner surgeon decides if you're a good fit and which areas are realistic to address — not Astramedica.
What the program typically includes
A typical trip usually looks like this:
- A consult and body assessment with the partner surgeon
- Pre-op tests (bloodwork, basic clearances)
- The procedure itself — usually 1 to 4 hours under anesthesia
- One night of clinic observation
- Compression garment fitted before discharge
- Written aftercare and remote check-ins for the first few months
Typical travel window
Plan for 5 to 7 nights in Istanbul. Direct flights from major US cities are easy to find — our team helps you sort it out.
What Astramedica coordinates
We handle the travel side, not the medical side:
- One US-based coordinator you can reach from day one through your return flight
- A short list of vetted partner clinics, with surgeon credentials laid out clearly
- Flights, airport pickups, and recovery-friendly hotel bookings
- Translator help when you meet the surgeon
- Paperwork pass-through and scheduling your follow-ups after you get home

Program overview
What this service can look like
A clearer picture of the journey before you book anything with a clinic or arrange travel.
This is a plan for people in the US who are comparing body-contouring procedures with independent plastic surgeons in Turkey. Most people use it to plan a focused trip around one area (abdomen, flanks, arms, chin) or a multi-area sculpting plan.
Astramedica helps you understand how the whole process works — surgeon review, recovery timing, accommodation, and return-travel planning. We don't decide whether liposuction is right for you, how many areas to do, or whether to include fat transfer. That's all the surgeon's job.
Liposuction is for body contouring, not medical weight loss. Going in with realistic expectations and a clear picture of recovery matters. Results look different for everyone.
Why patients look at Turkey
“Turkey is a common destination for body-contouring travel because many partner clinics combine experienced plastic surgeons, modern energy-assisted liposuction platforms, and hospitality-style recovery logistics. That usually makes it easier to compare options and fit early follow-up into one planned trip.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The practical questions patients usually ask before they move from researching into reaching out.
Is liposuction a weight-loss procedure?
No. Liposuction is for body contouring, not primarily for losing weight. Whether it's appropriate for your goals is the partner surgeon's call.
Can fat transfer be combined with liposuction?
Some partner surgeons review combination plans like fat transfer. That decision depends on your anatomy, goals, and what the surgeon sees.
How long is the compression garment usually worn?
It varies by surgeon and which areas were done, but most people wear a garment for several weeks. The exact instruction comes from the partner clinic.
When can I fly home after surgery?
It depends on the details of the procedure and how your recovery is going. The partner clinic decides when you're cleared to travel.
