This page presents the practical steps of a facelift journey in Istanbul. Facelift and bodylift respond to different indications and must be evaluated separately.
Preparation is not limited to the trip. It concerns the state of health, the history of healing, the help available after the intervention and the actual time that the patient can devote to his recovery.
What to prepare for the evaluation?
- Unretouched photographs according to the views requested.
- History, previous operations, allergies and treatments.
- Recent weight variations for a body lift project.
- Expectations, work constraints and possibilities for return assistance.
How to plan the length of stay?
The duration depends on the planned intervention, hospitalization and checks. It must be confirmed before booking the flight. A stay that is too short can make organizing checks and returns more difficult.
Accommodation must allow rest and transfers to the establishment. Estetic Univers facilitates this coordination in French.
How to anticipate recovery?
Before departure, the patient should understand care, possible clothing, activity limitations, scar management and follow-up schedule. The needs are not the same after a facial lift and a body lift.
Resumption of flying, work, sport and driving must be discussed with the medical team depending on the intervention carried out.
Questions to ask before confirming
- What goal is realistic for my anatomy?
- Where will the scars be located and how will they be tracked?
- How many nights and checks are necessary?
- Who should I contact after my return if I have any questions?
Results and recovery are individual. This page constitutes neither a surgical indication nor a promise of results.
