How much does a mummy makeover cost — UK vs Turkey?
UK private clinics usually price each part of a mummy makeover separately. Typical UK private prices are around £6,000–£9,000 for a tummy tuck, £7,500–£10,500 for a breast lift with implants and £3,000–£6,000 per area of liposuction — so a full mummy makeover in the UK often runs well into five figures.
At NewMe, the surgery price includes everything medical, and your combination is confirmed in one written, itemised quote after your free photo assessment. Hotel nights are booked separately and shown in the same quote. See current prices: tummy tuck cost, breast surgery cost and liposuction cost.
Why is it cheaper? Not because of lower standards. Hospital running costs, salaries and the exchange rate are the difference — the surgery itself is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons at Temos-accredited Anatolia Hospital.
What does recovery look like in Antalya?
Day 1 — Arrival
VIP pick-up at Antalya airport, pre-op tests and your face-to-face consultation with your surgeon.
Day 2 — Surgery
Your combined operation under general anaesthesia; you wake in your private room with 24-hour nursing care.
Days 3–4 — Hospital recovery
First walks, drain or wound care and the fitting of your compression garment before discharge.
Days 5–9 — Hotel recovery
Rest at the hotel with nursing visits and lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling.
Around day 7–10 — Fly home
Final check with your surgeon, fit-to-fly confirmation and your GP-ready English surgical report.
Back home, most people plan 4–6 weeks away from work and heavy lifting. The compression garment is usually worn for about 6 weeks, and the final shape settles over 6–12 months.
Is it safe to have a mummy makeover abroad?
Safety depends on the surgeon, the hospital and the plan — not the country. Before you book anywhere, check:
- A board-certified plastic surgeon you can name and look up
- An accredited hospital with an intensive care unit
- A realistic operation length — your surgeon may advise splitting a very long combination into two stages
- Clot prevention and a sensible gap before you fly home
- A clear aftercare plan once you are back in the UK

Frequently asked questions
Is a mummy makeover cheaper in Turkey even with flights and hotel?
For most UK patients, yes — surgery, hospital nights, transfers and hotel nights together usually come to well under the UK private price of the same procedures. Your written, itemised quote shows every cost before you book.
When can I fly home after a mummy makeover?
Most patients fly home about 7–10 days after surgery, once their surgeon has given fit-to-fly clearance. We plan clot prevention and the timing of your flight carefully.
Can I have my follow-up in the UK?
Yes. You fly home with an English-language surgical report your GP can act on, and our medical team stays reachable on WhatsApp for photo check-ins at every stage of healing.
Do I have to combine all three procedures?
No. A mummy makeover is tailored to you — some patients need only a tummy tuck and liposuction, others a breast lift alone. Your surgeon recommends only what your body needs.
