Fundamental #1: Think Twice About Tropical Regions

Exposure to foreign tropical type diseases without having built up a natural immunity can be a hazardous for weakened individuals, specifically for gastrointestinal diseases (examples: Hepatitis A, amoebic dysentery, bacteria).

Fundamental #2: Select the Right Provider...and For the Right Reasons

Medical tourism is a serious decision to make. It is a surgery before being a vacation package.

You must realize that choosing a medical provider on the basis of cost alone (i.e. "the best offer") WILL expose you to serious risks, as that provider likely cut corners somewhere (inexperienced surgeons, low-level clinics, little assistance...).

Good medical tourism operators carefully screen and select the best doctors for procedures.

It is better do pay a little more and get a lot more; than pay a little less and get a lot less...
Your face and body are not on sale.

Fundamental #3: The More Questions to Your Surgeon, the Better

A medical procedure is a highly personal decision. You should always:

(1) Have your complete medical records thoroughly reviewed by your surgeon to ensure that you are a qualified candidate

(2) Clearly communicate your objectives to your surgeon and have his detailed feedback

(3) Evaluate the credentials of your surgeon and ask to speak to former patients

It is highly advised to submit digital pictures of yourself for a very accurate diagnostic.

Fundamental #4: Do Not Travel Too Soon After Your Surgery

American & European Medical Associations correctly advise that you should wait at least 6 to 7 days post Body procedures and 7 to 10 days post Facial procedures, before flying back to your country.

Traveling soon after your surgery can increase the risk of complications. And do not consider vacation activities post surgery.

If you do, scars will be darker and more noticeable if they sunburn while healing.

Fundamental #5: Enquire About the Follow up Care and Ask what Guarantees (if any) Your Medical Provider Offers

You MUST request rigorous on site follow up care, post surgery. Your experience manager should guide you through all post operative check ups, to ensure that your recovery is tightly controlled.

You must also ensure that your medical provider offers you a GUARANTEE in case of unsatisfactory results.

This guarantee should cover all medical costs associated with a re-intervention as well as all on-site expenses.
