International and Out-of-Town Patients
For patients travelling from outside Kayseri and from abroad, the examination, the procedure and the follow-up appointments need to be planned so that they fit together. This page explains the process for out-of-town and international patients for informational purposes. Because every patient medical history and expectations differ, the steps below may vary from one person to another; a definite plan can only be made after an examination and assessment.
Initial contact and remote assessment
The process usually begins with a phone call, a WhatsApp message or the contact form. At this stage you describe the subject you would like information about and general information is given. Without an examination no definite statement can be made about the procedure, its duration or the technique; under Turkish health advertising legislation fee information cannot be shared over the internet either. A remote conversation only helps to plan how the process will proceed.
Preparation before travelling
- Examination first: Having the first examination before the day of the procedure is important both for a sound assessment and for completing the preparation stage.
- Tests: Blood tests, any imaging considered necessary and an anaesthesia assessment are completed before surgery.
- Medication and habits: Smoking, blood-thinning medicines and herbal supplements are discussed separately during this period; no medication should be stopped on your own.
- Companion: Whether a companion is needed is clarified at this stage according to the procedure.
Length of stay in Kayseri
The length of stay depends on the procedure performed and on the course of healing. As a general framework: one day before the procedure for the examination and preparation, the day of the procedure itself, and a few days afterwards for the first check-ups. In rhinoplasty the stay may be planned longer because the internal splints are removed on days 5-7 and the thermal splint on days 10-14. When the return journey is appropriate depends on the procedure and the healing process, and is determined by your doctor.
Travel and accommodation
Kayseri can be reached by air and by road from within Turkiye and from abroad. The practice is located in the Melikgazi district. The choice of accommodation is yours; information about the expected length of stay is given during appointment planning so that bookings can be made accordingly.
Language support
Website content is available in Turkish, English, German, Dutch, Russian and Arabic. Contact can also be made via WhatsApp.
Check-ups and remote follow-up
Follow-up appointments are planned to observe how healing progresses. Early check-ups are more frequent and become less frequent later on. After you return home you can stay in contact about the process; however, situations requiring examination need a face-to-face assessment. In case of bleeding that does not stop, increasing pain, fever or sudden swelling, contact your doctor or the nearest healthcare facility without delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many times do I need to come to Kayseri?

When am I allowed to fly?
The timing of a flight depends on the procedure performed and on how healing progresses individually. No single period applies to everyone; the decision is made by the doctor.

This depends on the procedure. For operations under general anaesthesia a companion during the first days is usually recommended.
