Before you book flights
Why stay length matters more than the flight price
Underestimating recovery time is one of the most common planning mistakes in medical travel. A return flight booked too early can mean travelling with fresh stitches, swelling or a higher risk of blood clots.
Planning the right number of nights from the start keeps your follow-up visits in Türkiye, gives your doctor time for the fit-to-fly check and avoids costly last-minute flight changes.

Recovery planner questions
Are these stay lengths guaranteed?
No. They are typical values for an uncomplicated case. Your treating doctor confirms your personal plan after reviewing your records and may change it during your recovery.
Can a companion travel with me?
Yes. Many patients travel with a companion. Your coordinator can include their travel and accommodation in your plan.
What is a fit-to-fly check?
It is a final examination before departure in which the doctor confirms that it is medically safe for you to fly.
What happens if I need to stay longer?
Your coordinator helps you extend your accommodation and change your flights. Decisions about extra medical days are always made by your doctor.
Can I combine two procedures in one trip?
Some procedures are often planned in one stay; others are usually separate trips because of anaesthesia load or overlapping recovery. The planner shows general guidance, and your doctors decide the final sequencing.
Where do these numbers come from?
They are indicative values for typical, uncomplicated cases, based on published recovery guidance. They are not a personal medical plan: your treating doctor confirms your own timeline. The dataset date on this page shows when they were last updated.
