Overseas Consultations

Finding the right surgeon is important before proceeding with any surgery. I would recommend you look for a board certified specialist who can assist you in achieving the results you seek. For our international patients, we are able to do phone consultations if you provide photos.

Web Consults

I would suggest contacting a surgeon in a city wherein you can spend a couple of weeks . Perhaps one where you have a US residence or close friends or relatives .
