Love my New Nose! Argentina, AR

I had my rhinoplasty performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina by Dr. Hernan Chinski. He's incredible!
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, but I lived several years in Argentina and was aware that cosmetic surgery is significantly less expensive abroad. When the time came that I was tired of looking at my nose bump and the general asymmetry of my nose, I found Dr. Chinski and I'm so glad that I did!
There were several things that I wanted to fix on my nose:
1) remove the dorsal hump
2) remove a dip that had formed on the tip of my nose from frontal view
3) gobal improvement (narrow the dorsum, make more symmetrical and othe minor changes)
I discussed all of this with Dr. Chinski via email and he promptly answered all of my questions. I checked out his website and was impressed by ALL of his before/after pictures, so I immediately booked my ticket for Buenos Aires.
I scheduled the surgery for June 2nd, and I stayed in Buenos Aires until June 18th.
The surgery was quick and the normal swelling and bruising occurred over the next several days. I never experienced any pain! When the cast came off 9 days after my surgery, I was so pleased with the results --- and I love my new nose more and more each day as residual swelling goes down!

Could not be more pleased! I would recommend Dr. Chinski to anyone who is looking for an affordable way to improve their nose!

Dr. Chinski exchanged countless emails with me before I traveled to Argentina. He answered all of my questions and made me feel extremely comfortable. I went to Dr. Chinski's office twice after the surgery for brief check-ups. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and accommodating!

Wow, you made a great decision. Lucky you had experience abroad in Argentina to be comfortable there. I would worry about going abroad if I didn't know anyone there, but I have to admit you had a GREAT result.

Oh whoa! Looks great! Thank you very much for sharing. What was your travel/accommodation experience in Argentina like?

July 6, 2015
Thank you! Because I'd lived in Buenos Aires for several years, my travel and accommodation experiences were quite easy. I had friends pick me up at the airport, and I stayed with other friends and family during my visit.
When I first contacted Dr. Chinski about getting my rhinoplasty done, he offered me the contact information of a reliable travel agent that often takes care of his out-of-town patients. He also has additional information on his website about his suggestions on where to stay, how long to stay in BA, and getting around BA.
I stayed inside for about 6 days after the surgery, but then I was out and about every day exploring the city and visiting old friends.
Please keep in mind that my flight/accommodation was not included in the price of the surgery! :)

I don't know if you're interested, but my flight from Phoenix to BA was just over $1000. I flew from PHX to Houston to EZE (the International Airport just outside of Buenos Aires).
