Can You Change Your Treatment Plan While You’re in Turkey?

Coming to Turkey for your surgery, you might feel jittery and excited. If you’re having cosmetic plastic surgery for the first time, you might be feeling a thousand emotions. Conflicting thoughts are a part of the process. Our mind likes to fixate on the negative more than the positive. Whenever you feel that happening, try and balance the number of negative thoughts that you’re thinking with the positive ones. You have decided to go ahead with one of the biggest decisions of your life so that you can feel happier. Undoubtedly, you’ll feel nervous and anxious. Some clients feel excited and rejuvenated at the prospect of renewing and refreshing their look. This is why they sometimes end up changing their treatment plan while in Turkey.

The good news is that you can change your treatment plan. There are no restrictions about it. You can add or remove treatments from your treatment plan. Longevita facilitates access to a diverse range of services in cosmetic surgery, dental treatments, and hair transplants. We are more than happy to assist you if you want any changes to your treatment plan. It is understandable if you want to take such a decision. It’s okay if you feel overwhelmed or confused. We will help you until your appointment is confirmed. In this guide, we will explain which steps you need to follow to change your treatment plan.

If you want to change your treatment plan once you are in Turkey, discuss it with your clinician. Any change, and its price, is their decision, and they will tell you whether it affects how long you need to stay.

If you’re travelling to Turkey to have cosmetic surgery, you can add another cosmetic surgery to the treatment plan. Sometimes clients come to us to have a tummy tuck only but end up deciding to have a breast uplift too. This makes it possible for them to experience a more dramatic body transformation.

You can decide to have a rhinoplasty with liposuction or breast surgery. However, you must remember that each treatment will have its own healing time. It may require you to stay in Turkey for a different number of days. Your independent clinician will confirm whether you can heal in time and are fit to fly home. They will also provide you with a fit-to-fly certificate when the time comes.

For Non-Surgical Treatments

The route for an additional treatment is the same: discuss it with your clinician. However, some details will be different.

If you’re getting PRP injections, dermal fillers, Botox, or teeth whitening, discounted pricing may be available through Longevita for these additional treatments. Make sure to reach out to us once you’ve decided to get a non-surgical treatment while in Turkey. We’ll start making arrangements accordingly.

Usually, these treatments do not take long — only an hour or so. If the client has enough time between their other appointments, we can make the arrangements and assist accordingly.

For Surgical Treatments

If the treatment you want to add to your treatment plan is surgical, we would need to consult the independent clinicians at the treating facility. That’s because it can be clinically inadvisable for a client to undergo certain combinations of surgeries. There are some things that cannot be done safely during the post-treatment recovery period.

Another major invasive surgery might take a toll on your health, which is why careful consideration is essential. In some cases, it won’t be possible to have all desired procedures in one trip. For example, a hair transplant is not advisable if you are already having a rhinoplasty, otoplasty (ear correction surgery), or breast surgery.

During a hair transplant, you will need to lie face down for 2–3 hours. Sometimes, the clinician needs to turn the head to the sides to harvest grafts. This can damage a newly-reconstructed nose and/or ears and even affect the stitches. Clinicians usually advise clients to be careful about this.

Regardless, if you want to have a rhinoplasty and hair transplant in one trip and prefer to have the hair restoration surgery performed before the rhinoplasty, you would need to wait 5–6 days to allow the hair grafts to settle. The clinical team may also unintentionally affect the newly transplanted hair during surgery as they work on the face area with various instruments. The independent clinicians will be consulted and you will be informed about all possible risks.

What About Your Flight Tickets?

If the change in treatment plan requires you to extend your stay in Turkey, you would need to update your return ticket. You may need to stay longer than originally planned, as post-operative appointments including check-ups will need to be arranged.

These are very important and should not be skipped. The independent clinicians need to confirm you are in good health following the procedure. If a complication has arisen, they will address it then and there. If something is concerning you about the surgery, the independent clinicians will discuss your concerns at those appointments.

Your clinician will tell you whether a change is possible, how long you may need to stay and any change to the price, under their own terms.

We completely understand if you decide to cancel a particular procedure in your treatment plan. The decision is yours to take. Any cancellation of your treatment follows your clinician’s terms. Please note that written notification is required for any cancellation of a booking.

We will explain the fees and what happens if you cancel.

As the clinic clears its calendar to accommodate a client, a cancellation represents the loss of another potential client’s appointment. If you would like to know more, please get in touch with your representative.

Before your appointment is confirmed, your representative is your contact for any change to your booking.

Once you are in Turkey, discuss any change to your treatment plan with your clinician. Any change, and its price, is their decision, and they will tell you whether it affects how long you need to stay.

We hope this guide has helped you understand the steps involved in changing your treatment plan while in Turkey. Any change needs to be carefully considered by the independent clinician.

Sometimes it is not advisable to perform two different kinds of invasive surgery in close succession. Your clinician will tell you the recommended timeframe between procedures, and it is possible that you will need to extend your stay in Turkey.

If you’re looking to arrange a surgical or non-surgical cosmetic procedure through Longevita, make sure to book your discovery call — there is no obligation. Your case will be assessed by an independent clinician, and you will receive their Treatment Plan and Quote. While in Turkey, why not consider an additional treatment you’ve been thinking about? You can arrange it all in one trip. And with your stay extended, you might even have the opportunity to explore the beautiful city of Istanbul.
