Frequently asked questions
How long do I need to stay?
It depends on the procedure: about 2 days for a hair transplant, around 10 days for body surgery. The recommended length is shown on each procedure page, and the exact length in your programme.
Who looks after me during my stay?
Your Contessa Med coordinator arranges travel, transfers and accommodation, and remains your contact before, during and after the procedure.
How does follow-up work once I'm home?
Back home, your coordinator remains your contact and organises follow-up with the practitioner (photos and messages via WhatsApp, then through your secure patient area once it opens).
What formalities should I plan for?
A valid passport. Depending on your nationality, a visa may be required: check entry requirements with the official authorities before booking.
