International Patient Journey
Before travelling
- Share an accurate medical history, medications, previous operations and requested photographs.
- Receive a preliminary assessment; this is not a final diagnosis or guarantee of surgery.
- Confirm the planned facility, estimated stay, companion needs and financial terms.
In Izmir
A face-to-face examination and anaesthetic assessment are required before final consent. The plan may change or surgery may be postponed if a safety concern is identified.
Returning home
Flight timing depends on the procedure and recovery. Patients should travel only after postoperative assessment and must arrange follow-up after returning home.
