I'm traveling to Canada from the US for a breast augmentation and I was curious if there was any travelers insurance I should look into just in case there is an emergency or complication. I love the work my doctor has done and he is an accredited doctor worth the travel but I am one of those people who needs to have all of their bases covered

Answer: Give this some thought There is a common thread you can see running through the answers given by all the Plastic Surgeons. As a group, we are much more comfortable operating on patients that we can be available for in the post operative period. It makes it much easier to give patient's post operative advice about making sure the recovery goes smoothly and uneventfully, which is always the goal after an operation. If you have the time and means to travel back and forth to your surgeon in Canada, or stay there for at least 2 weeks, this may make sense for you, particularly if you have already established a relationship with this physician. However, if there are complications and you are far from this plastic surgeon, you will have to seek aid from your local plastic surgeons. That will likely incur more expense, and you may not have the luxury of time to pick the local surgeon you want. All "Food for Thought." Good luck with your decisions.

Answer: Traveler's Insurance For Plastic Surgery Abroad There are many plastic surgeons in the US who do this procedure and do it well. You could avoid this insurance issue altogether. You mentioned you've already had work done by this surgeo. You should direct this question to him as he may best know the answer to your question. His staff helping you with this issue should be included in the fee you've paid him.
