Unfortunately that is not possible.

You can also visit attractions in Istanbul by yourself. You can find a few in the travel guide – which we send out with the booking confirmation.

For hair transplantation you can buy a cotton cap if you want. This should be a bit loose, so that the transplanted hairs and the points of extraction are not under pressure. Feel free to take several variants and ask the doctor directly, which would be the most suitable. Please also ensure that you take buttonable shirts / blouses which open at the front.

After laser eye surgery because your eyes will react very sensitively to light, it is vital that you take sunglasses with excellent UV protection with you.

After breast surgery, you should wear a special bra. You will receive one from the clinic. Experience shows, however, that this might not be sufficient, because you should wear it day and night.

For this reason, we recommend that you buy a second bra at home, as the special bras are very expensive in Turkey.
