Bring medication lists, prior surgery notes if revision, and comfortable button-front clothing. Confirm hotel proximity to clinic and hospital.
Frequently asked questions
How many nights should I book?
A common window is about a week after surgery for checks, but complex cases may need longer. Confirm before buying nonrefundable tickets.
Do I need a companion?
A companion helps on surgery day and the first nights. If traveling alone, ask the clinic how transfers and evening contact work.
Where are surgery and consultations usually held?
Consultations may be at the clinic; surgery is performed in a hospital operating theatre. Ask for both addresses in writing.
What if swelling worries me after I fly home?
You should have a remote follow-up channel and guidance on warning signs that require local emergency care.
