UK private sector
In central London, self-funded prolapse repair with a consultant gynaecologist typically starts around £8,000–£12,000, rising for combined procedures or overnight stays. Outside London the range is £6,000–£9,000.
Doctor-led care in Istanbul
Comparable doctor-led reconstructive surgery in Istanbul is typically 40–60% lower, with the same senior surgeon performing the operation and following you up personally. Pricing should be transparent, itemised, and inclusive of hospital, anaesthesia and follow-up.
Beware of package prices that are dramatically lower than doctor-led averages — they usually indicate an assistant surgeon, minimal preoperative assessment, or a very brief hospital stay.
