Visiting Istanbul?
Begin here.
Travelling from abroad for a medical aesthetic consultation? This guide explains how to prepare, what to expect at the clinic and what to consider before returning home.
A preliminary conversation is not a medical diagnosis or confirmation of treatment suitability.
A little preparation makes a difference.
Rather than offering a fixed itinerary, we start with a few practical details. This helps the clinic discuss appointment options that take your travel plans and medical needs into account.
- Your dates in IstanbulInclude your arrival and departure dates, with some flexibility if possible.
- The reason for your visitTell us which area or skin concern you would like assessed. A treatment choice can be discussed in person.
- Relevant medical detailsMention previous procedures, medication, allergies or medical conditions that may affect planning. Share sensitive information only when requested through an agreed channel.
- Your timing constraintsLet us know about important events, sun exposure, long flights or a schedule that leaves little room for recovery.
Three moments. One considered plan.
Everything is arranged around medical suitability, not the pressure to complete a procedure during a short stay.
Before arriving
Share your travel window and questions. The clinic can discuss consultation availability and whether particular treatments may involve downtime or repeat visits. A photograph review may help preparation, but cannot confirm suitability.
At the clinic
Meet Dr. Fuat Yurtseven for an in-person assessment of anatomy, skin, previous treatments and expectations. Risks, alternatives and the possibility of postponing or avoiding treatment are discussed before any decision.
After your appointment
Receive procedure-specific aftercare and follow-up instructions. Once home, remote communication may help with routine updates, but urgent or unexpected symptoms require timely in-person medical care.
Plan the appointment, not just the flight.
A short trip can make recovery and follow-up more complicated. The appropriate plan depends on your examination, the treatment and your itinerary.
Consultation and treatment can sometimes happen together, but this depends on medical findings, timing and the specific procedure.
Some procedures may involve swelling, bruising, skin sensitivity, staged sessions or a planned review. Do not make non-refundable travel commitments on the basis of a photo review alone.

A clear destination in Istanbul.
The clinic is at Akasya Acıbadem in Üsküdar, on Istanbul’s Asian side. Please allow extra travel time, especially around flights and peak city traffic.

Your appointment timing should be confirmed with the clinic before you travel to the address.
Journey times vary significantly with your hotel, airport, time of day and traffic conditions.
Hotel and airport-transfer packages are not provided through this page. The clinic can help with treatment-related appointment information.
What international visitors usually ask.
Direct answers to practical questions, without promising a particular result or treatment before examination.
Can I confirm whether I am suitable before buying flights?
You can share a description of your concern, tentative dates and relevant history for preliminary planning. Final medical suitability cannot be determined from messages or photographs alone.
Can I have a consultation and procedure on the same day?
It may be possible for selected treatments, depending on findings, scheduling and safety. It is not guaranteed and some plans should be staged or postponed.
How many days should I stay in Istanbul?
There is no single correct duration. The recommended timing depends on the treatment, expected recovery, possible side effects and the need for follow-up. Discuss this before you finalise travel plans.
Is it okay to fly after Botox, fillers or device treatments?
The answer depends on the procedure, symptoms, risk assessment and time available for early review. Ask the clinician for advice specific to your plan rather than assuming all treatments have the same travel recommendations.
Will someone be able to help me after I return home?
The clinic can advise on routine follow-up through the agreed communication channel. Remote contact does not replace an examination, and urgent symptoms should be assessed immediately by a local clinician or emergency service.
Do you provide hotel and airport transfers?
No hotel or transport packages are offered here. The page is designed to help with medical appointment planning and visiting the clinic.
