FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the patient journey, travel plan and postoperative follow-up.
Photos, expectations and basic health information are shared via WhatsApp. Front face, profile, 45-degree and basal nose views make assessment easier. This stage is not a definitive surgery decision; it provides initial information about suitability and process.
A general process plan (date, hospital, accommodation, transfer) can be created; however, the final surgical plan becomes clear after online assessment, medical suitability and in-person examination.
For international patients, about 8 nights are often planned (example: 1 night hospital + 7 nights hotel). Exact duration varies by surgery and recovery. Early return flights should not be reserved without doctor and medical team approval.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is generally preferred. After flight details are received, airport meet-and-greet, private transfer between hotel and clinic/hospital, and accommodation schedule are organized according to the surgery plan.
Early check-ups are planned during hospital and hotel periods; fit-to-fly is assessed at the final check. After return, the process can be supported via WhatsApp with photo sharing when needed.
