Despite the risks I’m hoping to schedule a BBL in London. I’m from Glasgow, Scotland. I want to delay my flight back for as long as possible. I will need post operative care. I’ve had a quick search online and it's coming up with nothing.

Answer: Recovery process Dear ionazarax, your plastic surgeon will have the best information regarding closest recovery houses. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Traveling for surgery and postoperative care I have no idea if there are recovery houses in London. My best guess is that there are no specific recovery houses but I’m guessing some of the top plastic surgeons probably have nurses they hire to help patients after surgery for those who don’t have the support they need.The correct way to do this is to consult with plastic surgeons and during the consultations and assessment is made, the procedure and recovery are reviewed in detail so that Everything is lined up for the procedure.This is the purpose of a consultation. I suggest having several.Generally speaking I steer people away from traveling for elective cosmetic procedures. People don’t appreciate the importance of in person consultations, the complications and revisions actually do happen and the importance of in person follow up care. Of course it’s possible to travel for all the visits and I would encourage people to do that if they’re planning on traveling for the procedure. If local resources are clearly lacking for a certain procedure Then traveling makes sense. Traveling smaller distances or at least having travel arrangements that can be done for postoperative care should be considered.Each plastic surgeon will have their own arrangements for postoperative care. Some providers may leave this completely up to patients and others may have abundant resources available.The recovery homes of developing nations with patients describing possessions being stolen and stacking patients three to a room without anyone with medical background taken care of them does not seem like the way to have a surgical procedure.Find the right plastic surgeon and everything falls into place.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
