The short answer
A comfortable seven-day trip usually runs: arrive and rest, assessment and plan confirmation, procedure day, two light recovery days, a follow-up review, then fly home. Keeping recovery days before departure lets the clinic review you before you leave the country.
Days 1–2: arrival and assessment
- Stay near the clinic to minimise travel
- Rest well before the assessment
- Bring every document and test result
- Confirm plan, price, and schedule with the interpreter
Day 3: the procedure
- Arrive on time, ideally with a companion
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing
- Keep the rest of the day free
- Note how you feel that evening
Days 4–6: recovery and review
- Light activity such as indoor walking
- Avoid saunas, alcohol, and heavy exercise
- Attend the review and ask outstanding questions
- Collect the complete treatment summary
Day 7: a comfortable flight home
Before boarding, confirm you have all documents, a clinic contact channel, and a clear list of symptoms that warrant immediate medical advice.

- Recommended, especially on procedure day, for transport help and note-taking.
- Can I sightsee while recovering?
- Light sightseeing is usually fine as advised — avoid long walking and extreme heat.
- Should I book a flexible ticket?
