Plastic Surgery in Ankara

Ankara's plastic surgery sits in three settings:

• University hospitals, which train surgeons and handle reconstructive and complex cases; cosmetic operations for international patients are arranged there less often than in private hospitals.
• Private hospitals and hospital groups, where most cosmetic surgery for visitors takes place.
• Surgeons' own practices, for consultations and checks, with the operation done in a partner hospital.

Ask which setting your surgeon is proposing, and get the hospital's address as well as the surgeon's.

Rhinoplasty, liposuction, eyelid surgery, breast augmentation, breast reduction and tummy tuck are listed by more Ankara surgeons in our records than other operations. The links below go to the Ankara page for the procedure where one exists, and otherwise to the national guide.

This page deals with what is particular to Ankara; each operation's technique and risks are in its own guide.

Treat every Ankara facility by the same checks as elsewhere in Turkey: health tourism authorisation, a place on the HealthTürkiye list, a named anaesthesia team and overnight monitoring. If you are drawn to a university hospital, ask whether it accepts international cosmetic patients and how appointments, fees and aftercare work, as arrangements can differ from a private hospital's.

A long list is a reason to shortlist by facts, not photographs. UK and Turkish plastic surgery societies advise checking membership of the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, Turkish board certification, at least five years in practice and an aftercare plan. See how to choose a surgeon for where each check is made.

Ankara has fewer direct international flights than Istanbul, so many patients connect through Istanbul; check the whole itinerary, including the connection time, before you book, because a missed connection is harder to manage after surgery.

Esenboğa Airport is about 28 km north of the centre. A taxi or prearranged transfer takes roughly 30–45 minutes, and airport shuttle buses also run to the centre. Within the city the metro and Ankaray lines connect the main districts.

The medical districts people mention most are Çankaya, Sıhhiye and Söğütözü. Many international patients book a hotel or aparthotel near the hospital for the first nights after surgery. Ask whether your package includes accommodation, which hotels the provider works with and how far the hotel is from the hospital, and choose by proximity to the place where your checks will take place.

There is no separate Ankara price list here. Providers price within the national range for each operation; the cost pages show the dated advertised range we recorded and what packages include and leave out. These are advertised figures, not quotes.

What changes a quote within Ankara is mostly local logistics: the type of hospital, the nights included, the hotel's distance from the hospital, and the transfers from Esenboğa, plus the cost and timing of a connecting flight from Istanbul if you need one.

Leave only after your surgeon or their team has reviewed you, and take your operation notes and discharge summary, the details of any implant or device, written instructions on dressings and medication, the date and method of your next review, and the name of a contact for problems at home. The NHS advises asking where follow-up will take place before you go, and what happens if complications arise. Turkey's emergency number is 112.

Tell us the procedure you are considering and when you can travel and we will come back with Ankara options to compare. A request is not a booking, and a plan is confirmed only after examination.
