How to travel for Rhinoplasty?

October 20, 2015
Asked By:Minn123 in Vancouver, BC

I live in Canada near Vancouver, but so far online I haven't found many doctors before and after pictures that I really like. There's some in LA and the states that I do find fabulous, so I'm considering travelling for surgery. Is this advised? How long would I need to stay in the states, and is it safe to fly home a week or ten days later? What about the consult and follow up appointments? Any info on travelling for rhinoplasty would be helpful.
