Hi Gaby!Nice to meet you!
I am happy to know that you are going to Bolivia because I know that you will be in very good hands, I know there are many other countries to go to have cosmetic surgery but in my experience Bolivia is an excellent place, not just because of the price, that is far the best I think, but also because is important to know who you are trusting your life and your appearance.
I don’t really know how is the recovery period of the tummy tuck, I think that is longer and you need to stay many days recovering at the hotel, so make sure to take a good book to read because sometimes watching tv is kind of boring, at least for me.
Well I guess you will live a big transformation, are you ready for that? I am sure you will be completely happy afterwards because is a big change, be ready for all the admirers you will have in the future!
You asked me about money, I guess everything depends on the kind of person you are and what you like, if you are going shopping etc.
Bolivia is not a expensive country, I spent like $15-$20 a day eating in some of the best restaurants, the meals they give you for $10 are just amazing! if it a pizza is a very big pizza like for 3 people, if its a stake is a big stake with fries, salad and rice, everything is big!
Transportation is really cheap, $2 dollars to go anywhere in the city.
You need to pay your own medication, garments and other exam, you need to ask the price of it now, I didn’t need a garment but they mentioned to me that the price of the garments are between $100 and $150 I think, the exam $40 or $50 I don’t remember and the Medication something like $80 but depends on what the surgeon prescribe you and the kind of surgery you are having.
If you are an American citizen you will need a VISA but you can buy it at the airport.
You will also need yellow fever vaccination but you can have it done at any clinic, make sure to do it with time so you won’t be in a hurry at the last moment!
Then you asked me if I was afraid, well what can I say, I think I was a little afraid of everything, of the country, of the experience, of the surgery but once I was there everything changed because the people that were looking after me were very nice, I loved my surgeon, my assistant and the clinic was nice, of course is not like a clinic in our country but is a nice clinic.
When you go abroad you must know that everything is going to be different that in your country, everything! but you will have a nice experience if you don’t compare everything and you just enjoy your experience.
It’s a place that I can recommend, that I know that is not dangerous at all, is very safe and is a place I know that has a very good quality in cosmetic surgery, I always talk based in my own experience, I am very happy as you can see, I think I met the right people and I went in the right moment and I am glad of it.
If you have more questions let me know it ok!
Good luck and say hello Dr.Cossio for me
The name is Makeover Travel and they are in Santa Cruz.
I had a very good experience with them! So I am not afraid to tell you to go with them because I am very happy with my results.
I know that is difficult to go alone but once you are there you feel better because you start knowing people, in my case my assistant was lovely , so I have no complains.
Good luck to everybody!
By the way my aunt is travelling in 2 months, she decided to go to Bolivia, I hope she post her pictures in a future, she is having her nose done, tummy tuck, liposuction and Brazilian butt lift.
My advice is to go with a positive attitude, its important to understand that is a different country than ours and everything is different, but this is also a reason why we are travelling abroad, to know other people, other culture and learn about all this.
The surgery for sure will be excellent, I know it because of my own experience, my sister’s experience now that she is there and for a lot of patients I met when I was there!
Other advice is that you take the Spanish and English dictionary so you can understand the people and you can also learn Spanish in some way and for that short period of time.
I will think of more advices and I will let you know ok!Let me ask my sister also!
By the way my surgery wasnt butt augmentation but I met like 3 girls who had their butt done and was amazing!
I had my nose done and some other procedures like you see in my picture.
