A safer cosmetic-surgery journey starts with direct consultation with the professional who may operate—not only a sales conversation. Verify the professional and facility, understand alternatives and material risks, allow time for informed consent, and agree in writing how recovery, complications, records and follow-up will work after you go home.
What to confirm before you book
- Speak with the proposed surgeon and verify professional and facility details.
- Request the exact procedure, alternatives, risks and likely recovery in writing.
- Do not let a flight date or discount determine a clinical decision.
- Confirm local support, emergency arrangements, records and home-country follow-up.
Ask for a written plan
The written plan should identify the treating facility and professional, explain what is included, state the follow-up route and separate clinical decisions from travel coordination.

Frequently asked questions
- Can a coordinator decide which operation I need?
- No. A coordinator can organise information and travel; only the appropriately licensed treating professional can assess and recommend clinical care.
- Should I book flights before clinical assessment?
- Avoid non-flexible plans until the treating team has assessed you and advised on timing.
