Plastic Surgery Abroad

Pamela B. Rosen, MD answers: Is 10 recovery days enough for multiple procedures abroad?

I'm thinking of going abroad to have a breast lift, tummy tuck, back liposuction. Will 10 days be long enough?

 The procedures you are contemplating involve a substantial amount of risk and will require careful followup by your plastic surgeon.  Ten days is not enough time for you to recuperate before getting on a plane and possibly risking complications such as pulmonary embolism (blood clot to the lungs).  My advice is to have the surgery done in your own country by a reputable plastic surgeon who will be there for you should future problems arise.
