TrustMed Clinic : Planning Your Body Surgery Trip to Turkey

Why Plan a Surgery Trip to Turkey?

Over the past decade, Turkey has become a leading destination for medical tourism, particularly for plastic and aesthetic surgery. With expert surgeons, internationally accredited hospitals, and affordable all-inclusive packages, patients from around the world travel to Turkey for procedures like:

• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
• Liposuction (standard or VASER)
• BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
• Arm and thigh lifts
• Post-weight loss body contouring
• Mommy makeovers

Planning ahead is essential for a safe, seamless, and rewarding experience. At Trustmed Clinic, we help you every step of the way—before, during, and after your trip.

Step-by-Step: Planning Your Body Surgery Trip to Turkey

1. Start With a Free Online Consultation

Begin by contacting your chosen clinic for a virtual evaluation. At Trustmed Clinic, this includes:

• Medical history and lifestyle review
• Sharing photos of treatment areas
• Video consultation with a board-certified surgeon
• A 3D simulation of your expected results
• Clear treatment options and pricing

This step ensures you receive a customized plan and know exactly what to expect before you even pack your bags.

2. Review the All-Inclusive Package

• Ask for a detailed, written offer that includes:
• Pre-op consultation and lab tests
• Surgery and anesthesia
• JCI-accredited hospital stay
• Hotel with nurse assistance
• Compression garments and medications
• Airport–hotel–clinic VIP transfers
• Translator services
• 1-year follow-up care
• 4X Insurance Protection Program

Trustmed Clinic offers transparent pricing with no hidden costs, giving you peace of mind from the start.

3. Book Your Flights

Once your surgery date is confirmed:

• Choose direct flights where possible
• Plan to arrive 1–2 days before surgery for pre-op exams
• Stay 7–10 days total for surgery, recovery, and final check-up

The earlier you book, the better the prices and seat options—especially if you’re traveling with a companion.

4. Prepare Your Travel Documents and Luggage

Make sure to:

• Check if you need a visa (many nationalities can apply online)
• Have your passport valid for 6+ months
• Print your clinic confirmation, insurance documents, and flight details

• Pack:

  • Button-up or zipper-front clothing

  • Slippers and compression socks

  • Travel pillow, charger, and hygiene items

  • Medication (with prescriptions if needed)

Trustmed’s coordinators provide a complete packing checklist before your departure.

5. Arrival and Pre-Surgery Preparation

Upon arrival in Istanbul:

• You’ll be picked up at the airport by a private driver
• Taken directly to your recovery hotel or clinic for pre-op testing
• Meet your surgeon in person to confirm your plan
• Complete lab work, ECG, or any required imaging

You’ll have time to rest and hydrate before your scheduled surgery, with 24/7 assistance from the Trustmed team.

6. Surgery Day and Hospital Stay

Your procedure will take place in a JCI-accredited hospital. Depending on the complexity:

• Surgery duration: 2–4 hours
• Anesthesia: General or local (based on procedure)
• Hospital stay: Usually 1–2 nights

You’ll be monitored closely by a team of nurses and medical staff until cleared to return to the hotel.

7. Post-Surgery Recovery in Comfort

After hospital discharge, you’ll continue recovery in a medical hotel with:

• Daily nurse visits and wound care
• Post-op medications and pain management
• Compression garment assistance
• Light meals and room service
• 24/7 access to a patient coordinator
• Optional light activity or terrace walks (when cleared)

8. Final Check-Up and Travel Clearance

Before flying home, your surgeon will:

• Remove drains (if applicable)
• Review healing and mobility
• Provide written post-op instructions
• Approve return travel
• Schedule your remote follow-up timeline

Trustmed Clinic also gives patients access to the 4X Insurance Protection Program, covering complications, travel issues, and aftercare in your home country.
