Your treatment doesn’t end when you leave the clinic — proper aftercare helps you heal comfortably and protects your long-term results. Whether you’ve had dental implants, veneers, a tummy tuck, or other cosmetic procedures, this guide by Tour Medical explains practical recovery steps and when to seek support.

Why Aftercare Matters
Proper aftercare is just as important as the procedure itself. Following your surgeon or dentist’s instructions helps minimize swelling, reduce infection risk, and improve scar or gum healing — so you can enjoy stable, natural-looking results. In Turkey’s relaxing environment, your recovery can even feel like a wellness retreat, especially when your logistics are handled through all-inclusive packages.
Aftercare for Dental Treatments
1. Implants and Crowns
Avoid biting hard foods for the first few days. Stick to soft meals such as soups, yogurt, or mashed vegetables. Brush gently around the treated area and use an antibacterial mouth rinse recommended by your dentist. If your treatment includes implants, review additional guidance on our dental implants in Turkey page.
2. Veneers or Smile Makeovers
Sensitivity to hot and cold is normal for a few days. Avoid strong staining drinks early on to help maintain shade stability. Schedule follow-up polishing or checks when advised. If you’re planning a full smile transformation, see what’s included in our smile makeover packages.
3. Whitening or Composite Work
Avoid staining foods for at least 48 hours. Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft toothbrush to protect enamel and preserve shine. If you’re unsure which recovery rules apply to your exact plan, you can get a free quote and receive a personalised aftercare checklist.
Aftercare for Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
1. Tummy Tuck & Liposuction
Wear your compression garment as instructed. Short, slow walks help circulation and swelling. Avoid bending or lifting anything heavy for 4–6 weeks (or as advised by your surgeon). If your surgery is part of a combined plan, explore our all-inclusive surgery packages for typical aftercare support.
2. Breast Lift / Augmentation
Sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated. Keep incisions dry and clean; use prescribed solutions only. Wear the recommended surgical bra until your follow-up review.
3. Minor Procedures (Labiaplasty, Botox, Fillers)
Follow hygiene and cooling instructions closely. Avoid hot baths, sauna, or swimming for at least a week (or per your clinician’s advice). If you’re scheduling multiple procedures in one trip, start with a free consultation to confirm safe timing.
General Recovery Guidelines
- Hydration: Drink enough water to support circulation and recovery.
- Nutrition: Prioritise protein and nutrient-rich foods to support tissue repair.
- Rest: Sleep well — recovery happens fastest during deep rest.
- No Smoking / Alcohol: Both can delay healing and affect wound recovery.
- Sun Protection: Use SPF on scars or treated areas for at least 3 months, as advised.
If anything feels unusual, it’s better to ask early. Our team can advise via free consultation and guide next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fly soon after my procedure?
For many dental treatments, patients can travel quickly. For surgery, allow several days of monitoring and recovery before flying, based on your doctor’s clearance.
What if swelling persists?
Mild swelling is normal for days or weeks, depending on the procedure. Contact the team if swelling increases suddenly or you notice worrying symptoms.
Will I need follow-up when I return home?
Often yes. Many patients schedule one local check (dentist/GP) within the first month, plus online follow-up with Tour Medical.
What are the warning signs I should not ignore?
Contact your care team if you experience fever, increasing redness, unusual discharge, severe pain that worsens, or shortness of breath. When in doubt, message us via free consultation.
How can I reduce swelling faster?
Follow your clinician’s advice on garments, gentle movement, hydration, and rest. Avoid smoking and excessive salt intake, and keep follow-ups as scheduled.
