Planning Your Trip to Turkey
It is crucial to know what type of documents are required to enter Turkey. If you plan to stay for an extended period and your current visa does not allow it, we can assist you in obtaining an e-visa, regular visa, or residence permit. You can find everything you need to know about the process on our Visa Application page.
We also recommend booking your flight tickets well in advance so that you don’t risk missing your surgery date due to sold-out flights.
Upon your arrival in Istanbul, our team will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your 5-star hotel for a well-deserved rest. The next day, you will enjoy a guided city tour of our beautiful Istanbul, savoring local cuisine and visiting the city’s most iconic sights.
Istanbul Tour
What better way to experience history than to visit Turkey? From the Hittites to the Ottoman Empire, from the Greeks to the Romans, this land has been the crossroads of civilizations that shaped both its own and the world’s history. Positioned between Europe and Asia, Turkey embodies distinctions and paradoxes — a place where antiquity meets modernity, and religion coexists with secularism.

Physical Examination, X-ray, Blood Tests, and Hospitalization
A private driver will take you to the hospital for essential tests to confirm your eligibility for the surgery. These include an X-ray and blood tests, with results typically available later the same day or the following day.
Afterwards, you will have an in-person consultation with your doctor. During this meeting, the doctor will explain:
- The surgical procedure,
- The hospital stay duration,
- The importance of post-operative care,
- The estimated height increase achievable, based on your X-ray results and physical examination.
Once all pre-surgical steps are complete, you will be asked to sign a consent form on the day of surgery. After giving your consent, you will proceed to the operation.
Following the surgery, you will stay in the hospital for about 5 days, during which a caretaker will be provided to assist you.
