Coming to Istanbul
A stay here is not a holiday with an operation attached. How many nights, what is arranged, the quiet days after — named before you leave home. Photographs first. Then you travel.
The nights
Two things named first.
Length of stay, and what waits on the ground. Decided in writing. Not left for arrival.
How long
Hair restoration is usually the shorter stay. Face and form ask for more nights — swelling has a calendar. The number sits in the plan, not in a brochure.
What is arranged
Transfers. The quiet days. The first checks. You arrive with dates already written — not with a week still to invent.
The days
Quiet after. Not a tour.
Not a package. Not a city to consume. By what the work asks, by how many nights swelling needs, by what can honestly be crossed before you fly home. The number is written in the plan. The procedure is carried out in accredited hospital operating rooms.
Consultation
Begin in confidence.
Photographs, in confidence. A first reading for the week before you travel. The clinic replies in private — within four hours on business days.
