Answer: Is traveling to another country for Rhinoplasty straightforward? We treat a lot of patients from out of state and out of country. Post-operative care is crucial in this process, and staying at least 2 weeks in town after surgery is recommended. I strongly recommend seeking a qualified Board Certified PS with great experience in Rhinoplasty who utilizes closed technique.

Answer: Traveling to another country for rhinoplasty It is not uncommon for a patient to travel to another country to have a surgical procedure performed, such as rhinoplasty. The patient must plan this in advance though to determine how long the surgeon wants the patient to stay before leaving. There may be a splint or sutures that need to be removed after rhinoplasty. You should discuss the timing of your stay with your surgeon.

It is anything but straightforward, unless you have lived in that country in the past and you are confident in obtaining the best medical care. The success of Medical Tourism Surgery depends on 1. Surgical operation 2. Post op care 3. Local environment with regards to infection. In the US, you are guaranteed of all 3 by virtue of well qualified Plastic Surgeons who practice state of the art medicine. In another country, the onus is on you choose the right one.

Answer: Traveling to another country for rhinoplasty Traveling to another country for rhinoplasty can be problematic if not handled properly. One of the issues is if you develop a postoperative complication and cannot travel back to your original surgeon. This creates a problem because you have to followup with a local surgeon who will not know what you had done during your procedure and this can complicate the treatment. Also, part of ensuring a good result after rhinoplasty is consistent and adequate followup to monitor the nose for changes and address them accordingly. Traveling for rhinoplasty is certainly done, but use caution and consider a local option. Best of luck.
