But the success of your procedure starts before you even board the plane. Here’s your ultimate guide to preparing for breast surgery in Cyprus & Turkey, from travel essentials to aftercare tips.

✈️ 1. Confirm Your Surgery & Travel Details

Before you travel for your breast surgery in Cyprus or Turkey, make sure every detail is finalised:

  • Flights – if possible book flexible return dates.

  • Accommodation – your patient coordinator will help you choose somewhere comfortable, close to the clinic or hospital.

  • Transfers – our all-inclusive packages include airport, hotel, and clinic transport for stress-free travel.

✅ Tip: Save all your bookings, confirmations, and medical forms both digitally and on paper.

💊 2. Medical Preparation Before Breast Surgery Abroad

To ensure your breast surgery in Cyprus & Turkey is as safe as possible, preparation is key. You’ll need to:

  • Complete pre-operative blood tests (arranged by our team).

  • Share your medical history and current medications

  • Stop smoking and avoid alcohol at least two weeks before surgery to aid recovery.

  • Pack essential medication in your hand luggage with copies of prescriptions.

✅ Tip: Good health and hydration before surgery support smoother healing and better results.

🎒 3. What to Pack for Breast Surgery in Cyprus & Turkey

Pack light but smart — comfort and practicality matter most after breast surgery. Include:

  • Loose, front-opening tops (you’ll want easy dressing post-surgery).

  • A supportive post-surgical or sports bra as recommended by your surgeon.

  • A travel pillow for your flight home.

  • Wipes and dry shampoo for convenience during early recovery.

  • We will supple compression garments  where needed and these are included in the cost so no need to pack them in advance.

✅ Tip: Cyprus and Turkey have warm climates — breathable clothing and UV protection will help protect your incisions from the sun.

💳 4. Organise Travel Documents & Insurance

Before flying out for breast surgery in Cyprus or Turkey, double-check that you have:

  • A valid passport (with at least six months remaining).

  • Travel insurance covering medical procedures abroad.

  • A fit-to-fly certificate for your return journey (our clinic provides this before you leave).

✅ Bonus: Make sure your phone plan includes roaming or Wi-Fi access so you can stay in contact with our team.

🩺 5. Understand What Happens After Surgery

After your surgery, most patients:

  • Stay locally for 6–8 days for follow-up checks and dressing changes.

  • Experience some swelling, bruising, or tightness for the first couple of weeks.

  • Return to everyday activities within 10–14 days, though heavy lifting and exercise should wait a bit longer.

Our team will provide full aftercare instructions and 24/7 support to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery before you fly home.
