Important: The exact sequence varies by procedure (single vs. combined), surgeon, clinic, and your schedule. After your date is confirmed, you’ll receive a clear prep e-mail with all steps through aftercare.

1) Before your trip – medical clearance & prep

  • History & documents: We record conditions, allergies, medications, prior surgeries. Please bring any letters/labs you already have.
  • Photos for a first assessment: Standardized images help align goals with reality.
  • Optional video call (not standard): Short call on request for expectation-setting. Final medical decision and plan are always made in person on site.
  • Prep e-mail: Checklist after booking (fasting for anesthesia, fluids/nicotine pause, any medication holds only with physician approval, skin/hair care, sleep position, need for an escort after larger procedures).
  • Pre-tests: Required labs/ECG/imaging are organized at the clinic; bring existing results if available.

2) On arrival – consent, consults, pre-ops

  • Informed consent: Clear explanations in German/English/Turkish; questions answered, forms signed together.
  • Consult with your surgeon: On arrival day, the day after, or on surgery day—depending on schedules. Goals, technique, alternatives, risks, and aftercare are finalized.
  • Pre-op & anesthesia clearance: Bloodwork, exam, ECG/imaging as needed; anesthesiologist’s approval.

3) Surgery day

  • Follow fasting rules; arrive on time.
  • Skin markings & final run-through; confirm consents.
  • Anesthesia: sedation or general—procedure-dependent.
  • Surgery → monitored recovery.
  • Initial care: Pain control, antibiotics if indicated, dressings/splint/garments applied; you receive a personalized care & medication plan.

4) Local aftercare

  • Day 1: Surgeon check and dressing change.
    • Body/Breast: mobility guidance, compression, drains if present.
    • Face/Nose: swelling control, cooling, sleep position.
  • Day 2–3: Second check; fit-to-fly assessment; adjust meds.
  • Day 5–7 (if still in Istanbul):
    • Rhinoplasty: remove splint and/or sutures.
    • Facelift/Eyelids: remove sutures/staples; scar care.
    • Body/Breast: further checks; wound & scar management.
      (If you leave earlier, we arrange suture removal near home and support you digitally.)

5) Suggested stay (guidance)

  • Hair transplant: ~2–3 days.
  • Single face/breast/body procedure: usually 3–5 days.
  • Combined procedures: add +1–2 days for observation/recovery.

6) After you return

  • Digital aftercare with photo/video check-ins (e.g., at 1, 4, and 12 weeks).
  • Access to your aftercare plan, 24/7 urgent contact, and clear “call us now” criteria.

Quick checklist

  • Current medication & allergy list; relevant letters/results
  • Comfortable front-opening clothing (handy after face/breast procedures)
  • Any prescribed compression garments/cold packs
  • Charger, lip balm, gentle skincare per instructions
