Packing for a medical trip is packing for recovery, not for a holiday. The universal rules: documents in your hand luggage, clothing that never touches the treated area, and twice the comfort you think you need.
The Universal Kit (Every Procedure)
- Passport, treatment plan, clinic correspondence and guarantee documents — printed and digital
- Any medical reports or scans the clinic requested
- Your regular medications in original packaging
- Comfortable loose clothing and slip-on shoes
- Travel pillow, phone charger, power bank and an unlocked phone for the clinic's WhatsApp contact
- Payment method confirmed with the clinic in advance
Hair Transplant Trips
Button-up or zip-up shirts only — nothing pulled over the head after surgery. A travel pillow for elevated sleep, and sunglasses plus the clinic-approved head covering for the flight home. Skip hats, helmets and hair products; the clinic provides the aftercare kit.
Dental Trips
Soft foods are your first days' menu, so plan accordingly. Bring lip balm (long appointments), any night guard you already use, and — if your treatment spans two visits — a folder for the lab records and shade codes the clinic gives you.
Surgery Trips (Rhinoplasty, Aesthetic Procedures)
Front-opening tops, loose waistbands, and any compression garments your surgeon specifies (confirm whether the clinic provides them). Add saline spray and high-SPF sunscreen for rhinoplasty recovery, and book accommodation with an elevator rather than stairs.
What to Leave at Home
Valuables, tight clothing, ambitious sightseeing plans for the first post-op days, and alcohol plans — most surgeons restrict alcohol and smoking around procedures. Recovery first; Türkiye's highlights will still be there on your follow-up visit.
How Itinerary of Türkiye Helps
Every client receives a procedure-specific preparation list from us before flying, matched to their clinic's protocol — plus hotel, transfer and companion planning built around recovery.
Frequently asked questions
What should I wear after a hair transplant?
Button-up or zip-front shirts that never touch your scalp, plus the clinic-approved loose head covering for travel. Avoid anything pulled over the head for the first weeks.
Should I bring my medical records to Türkiye?
Yes — bring printed and digital copies of any reports or scans the clinic requested, along with your treatment plan and guarantee documents. Keep them in hand luggage, not checked bags.
Can I sightsee during a medical trip to Türkiye?
Plan sightseeing before the procedure or keep it very light afterwards, following your doctor's guidance. Many clients return for a proper holiday at their follow-up visit.
