Buttock surgery in Turkey attracts numerous patients from abroad every year, drawn by recognized medical expertise and particularly affordable prices. Turkish clinics have built their reputation thanks to highly qualified surgeons and modern facilities.
Whether one seeks to augment, reshape, or firm up the buttocks, Turkey stands out as a safe and effective destination for this type of procedure.

| Augmentation with implants | 3,000 – 4,500 |
| Lipofilling (fat injection) | 2,800 – 4,000 |
| Post-surgical corrections/revisions | 3,500 – 5,000 |
The prices shown have been updated for 2025 and may vary depending on the surgeon chosen and the complexity of the procedure.
Turkey has heavily invested in training its surgeons and equipping its clinics, ensuring a high level of safety for cosmetic surgery. The facilities are regularly inspected, and many hold international certifications.
Strict protocols, rigorous post-op follow-up, and use of modern techniques guarantee a secure approach for patients from abroad.
The majority of clinics in Istanbul, Izmir, or Antalya offer support in English, and some even in French. It is therefore possible to easily communicate at each stage of care, even without speaking Turkish.
Many surgeons and medical coordinators are trained to welcome international patients, which facilitates dialog throughout the medical stay.
For French citizens, no visa is required for stays under 90 days in Turkey for medical purposes. A valid passport or ID card upon entry is sufficient.
However, it is advisable to check the latest requirements before departure and bring all documents relating to the intended treatment (quotes, correspondence with the clinic, etc.).
From France, many airlines serve Turkey’s main cities such as Istanbul, Ankara or Izmir, with direct flights from Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nice or Toulouse.
The journey takes on average between 3 and 4 hours. Clinics often offer transfers to take you from the airport directly to your accommodation upon arrival.
The total time to plan for buttock surgery in Turkey varies depending on the chosen technique (implants, lipofilling, corrections) and your post-op recovery. Generally, it is recommended to stay between 7 and 10 days.
The first day is usually dedicated to the pre-op consultation and necessary tests. The operation takes place the next day or the day after, followed by a short hospital stay (24 to 48 hours). The remainder of your stay is dedicated to initial follow-up and managing post-op care, up until your check-up visit with the surgeon before returning home.
Turkish clinics specializing in buttock surgery usually offer comprehensive logistical support. From your arrival at the airport, a transfer service may be provided to take you to the clinic or your hotel.
French/English-speaking interpreters or coordinators are often available to ensure clear communication during consultations, surgery, and aftercare. Depending on the procedure, splints, compression garments, or recovery supplies may be included in the package, as well as dressings and close medical supervision.
It is advisable to check the presence of a specific insurance or review your own coverage in anticipation of possible complications, as cosmetic surgery procedures are rarely covered by French social security or standard health insurance plans.
Many clinics in Turkey offer ‘packages’ for buttock surgery, the contents of which vary from one establishment to another. Generally, these formulas include: surgical fees, hospitalization, pre- and post-operative consultations, airport/hotel/clinic transfers, and accommodation (mostly 3- or 4-star hotels).
Before selecting an offer, read the contract details carefully: some packages do not cover additional costs (airfare, meals outside the clinic, companions, potential extra care). Full transparency on included services is essential to avoid any unpleasant surprises once onsite.
It is common to enjoy your medical trip to Turkey by discovering culturally rich cities such as Istanbul, Izmir, or Antalya. However, the organization will depend on the type of operation and your tolerance of the procedure. Light tourism before surgery is absolutely possible as long as medical instructions are observed.
After surgery, rest is recommended and physical effort, long walks, or tiring visits should be avoided. The priority remains recovery and post-op monitoring. Plan your sightseeing mainly before the surgery and adopt caution during recovery.
Post-operative follow-up is a key step after buttock surgery, especially when performed abroad. Appropriate support minimizes the risk of complications, optimizes healing, and ensures a harmonious and lasting result. The quality of follow-up should be a major consideration from the start when preparing for your surgery project in Turkey.
After buttock surgery performed in Turkey, it is in principle possible to arrange post-op follow-up in France, notably with your GP or a plastic surgeon.
It is nonetheless essential to inform French healthcare professionals of your project from the outset to ensure continuity of care upon your return. Some doctors may be hesitant due to unfamiliarity with techniques or operating records used abroad. Be sure to request a detailed surgical report from the Turkish team to facilitate communication.
