When should I book the flight ? Which airport should I choose ?
Please book your flight after confirming your surgery date with Doctor Be+ Clinic Team. Doctor Be+ Clinic and SAW (Sabiha Gökçen) Airport is on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. Istanbul Airport (IST) is located on the European side of Istanbul. Both can be utilized but SAW is more approximate to both hospitals and our clinic. Please check our logistics map for convenience.
Should somebody accompany me ? Can I come alone ?
Lots of patients travel to Istanbul alone to have facial plastic surgery. Some patients come accompanied by sometimes a friend, a relative or significant other. Both is possible. Our experience showed us that having emotional support of someone you know is a better option. But if you decide to/have to come alone we try to take care of you as much as possible.
Important Things Checklist
⬜ I’ve informed my doctor all previous facial & nasal surgeries I’ve had
⬜ I’ve informed my doctor all medical conditions I have and all drug allergies I have
⬜ I’ve informed my doctor about all medical or nonmedical drugs I am using
⬜ I’ve stopped taking supplements, vitamins, herbal teas at least 15 days before surgery and
I don’t eat cherry (blood thinner)
⬜ I know that getting infected or testing (+) for COVID means I’ll not be having a surgery so I
act accordingly and I’m very precautious. I am taking all the necessary measures
preoperatively to make sure I will have a healthy surgery and postoperative period.
⬜ Do I need to bring any medications with me ? Not if you don’t have a medical condition,
otherwise we provide all medication during your perioperative period in the hospital.
Postoperative prescribed medication is also provided in your postoperative kit (complimentary)
⬜ (For rhinoplasty patients) I know I won’t be able to use optic or sunglasses in the early
postoperative period, so I have my contact lenses.
