Six things to think about if you are considering overseas surgery
When asked about patients who go overseas for plastic surgery, our surgeon Richard makes the following points to consider:
Know and ask about the training and credentials of your surgeon.
Ask about their experience and training with your operation.
- How well are you prepared for your proposed surgery? This often takes a minimum of two to three consultations.
- Has your surgeon listened carefully to your wishes and concerns and planned your individual treatment?
- Has your procedure been explained in depth, especially the risks and complications? How are these to be managed both medically and financially? You need unrushed time to consider your surgery care.
- Follow up visits are often frequent and may be required for up to six months to prevent problems and achieve optimal results. Overseas and capital city travel make this difficult if not impossible to achieve.
The ability to access best practice plastic surgery right here in Bendigo makes it easier than ever to achieve your desired outcomes without the inconvenience of travelling overseas or commuting back and forth to the city for surgery.
