Question EN Blepharoplasty Travel

Flying alone for blepharoplasty in March

solo_march
I booked a consultation for upper blepharoplasty in Istanbul for March and I will travel alone. I am 42 and generally calm with travel, but this is my first surgery outside my country so my brain keeps making small worries bigger. The clinic says airport pickup and hotel are included. Hotel is about 10 minutes walking from the clinic but they said I should use the driver for appointments. I asked about follow-up and they said there is one check before flying back, then WhatsApp if I have concerns. For people who went alone, what practical things helped? I am thinking: button shirt, sunglasses, easy food in room, maybe not planning any sightseeing. I do not need medical advice, just trying to imagine the boring parts like checking out of hotel, airport queue, waiting if eyes are swollen etc.

I went alone and the boring prep helped more than anything. I brought a small crossbody bag, downloaded the airline app, and kept all clinic papers in one folder. Airport was fine, just slower.

Do not plan tourist days. I thought I would walk around, but I mostly rested and ordered soup.

I travelled with my sister but honestly she mainly carried snacks. Ask the hotel if they have room service or nearby delivery before you go.

Sunglasses and a loose hoodie helped me feel less stared at. Nobody at the airport cared as much as I imagined.
