Planning for a hair transplant to Turkey couldn’t be much easier. That’s because most reputable clinics will do virtually everything for you. Check with the clinic if you need any visas from where you are travelling from. And then aside from packing your suitcase and booking your flight, there’s really not much left to do. Follow these tips to make sure it all goes smoothly.
You should check with the clinic which airport you need to land at. There are two main airports, Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW), but they are 62 km apart. So make sure you are arriving at the preferred airport. With that in mind, you can book your flights. Platforms such as Google Flights, Skyscanner, and Cheapflights are good ports of call to pick up available flights at the best price.
If you are flexible with your dates and want to grab a great price at off-peak times in the winter, then it’s easy enough to grab a deal and a return flight under £100 from London airports. Flights from other major European cities, including Dublin, Glasgow, Paris and Frankfurt, may cost a little more, but you can still get return flights for under £200.
If you want to go at non-peak times and enjoy some hot weather, then the most expensive times are August and flights are still very reasonable, and you should be able to pick up a deal from London to Istanbul for less than £200. Once you have booked your flight, simply send the details to your chosen clinic, who will then send you your itinerary.
Jump in the car, and you’ll either get whisked to the clinic for blood tests or straight to the hotel to relax. The morning after, the driver will come again to take you to the clinic for your transplant. After the transplant is done, the driver will come to take you back to your hotel once again. The driver will also come for you the day after to have your bandages changed and show you how to wash your head.
Some clinics will arrange for the driver to come for you on day three and a sightseeing tour of the city. When it’s time to go home, your driver will take you back to the airport. So really, other than packing weather appropriate clothes and bringing some sunscreen during the scorching summer months, it’s super easy to access medical tourism in Turkey, where every last detail is taken care of for you. What you must do, however, is avoid the following things before your surgery.
