Question Arm Lift Recovery

Deposit paid for arm lift, now second guessing recovery alone

Berlin patient
I paid the deposit last week for an Arm Lift and now I am doing that thing where I read every bad story at 1am. I live in Germany but will travel to Istanbul in May. Originally my cousin was coming, then her work changed and now maybe I go alone. The clinic says airport transfer, hotel and translator are included. They also say I can message on WhatsApp after I fly home. That sounds fine but also very general. I asked how many in-person checks before leaving and they answered, but I forgot to ask what happens if I need help with simple things at the hotel, like carrying bags or changing clothes. Maybe this sounds childish but arms are involved in everything. I am not asking if I should do surgery. I already had consultation and I know only doctor can answer medical stuff. I just want to hear from people who travelled for body procedures: did you regret going without companion? Was hotel staff enough for normal daily things, or better to postpone until someone can come?

Not childish at all. Recovery logistics are real, especially when both arms are sore or limited.

I went alone for a different body procedure and the hardest part was not pain, it was small tasks. Opening bottles, moving luggage, reaching things in the room. I paid for extra baggage help at the airport and asked the hotel before arrival if they could assist with bags. I would get very specific answers before you decide.
