I had a client of mine that returned from Colombia after having a mommy makeover. Even though I had been doing my research, I had never considered doing surgery overseas. After checking in with Realself I came across Premiumcare and Dr Campbell and Dr Restrepo. I loved how natural their results were. I am 50 years old and didn't want a "doll" like appearance so I was happy to discover a minimalistic approach to surgery. I also was impressed at how they work on you as a team to enable to get more surgery but under anesthesia for a shorter period of time. Once I arranged a consultation I was sold. I sent my deposit in the very next day. Another selling point for me is how professional their entire team is. Everything down to my emails were answered in record time which also reassured me I was in safe hands, especially as I was travelling out of the country. I arrived 2 days before my surgery and was escorted to my recovery suites. Everything was organized and exactly as advertised. I had my preop the next day and surgery the day after that. During my recovery I was emotional at one of my follow up appts and Dr Restrepo held my head and stroked my hair and reassured me it was totally normal. She is so compassionate and even at my age I needed that. I will always remember how nurturing and kind she was. I had a whole team taking care of me. Everyone from nurses, housemaids, drivers and massage, you name it. You were only a message away from help at anytime. I have now returned home and 18dpo and couldn't be happier. My incisions are healing beautifully and I feel wonderful. So good in fact, I will be returning in 3 months to get a face/neck lift.
I have already referred 2 friends. One has already had surgery too and he is very happy. If you are unsure about travelling overseas to get plastic surgery, don't be. If you pick the right team you will save a ton of money and all your friends will be kicking themselves for not making the same choice.

Did the $10,500 include the recovery suite and after care? Do they offer a drainless option?

Not sure about a drainless option. I went along with whatever Dr Campbell and Dr Restrepo did. The recovery suite was extra but totally worth it to be waited on hand and foot with a nurse always available.

Approximately, how much is the recovery suite? How much would it be per night?

I travelled alone, I don't speak a word of spanish and I never had to worry. Everyone spoke English with the Premiumcare team and accompanied me to any appts where I would have to converse with anyone else. I stayed for 2 weeks and had a final followup with the doctor before I was released. So at that point, I was totally fine to fly home.

I was able to get around and do things at 2 weeks, just no lifting over 25lbs for 6+ weeks while your MR is healing. I flew home with luggage at 18 days.
