What procedure will be better for my needs?

When looking for a better appearance you are very aware of your problem area but you might no be so aware of the strategy
for achieving the best results.

Your surgeon needs to look at your problem area to recommend the best way to address your problem.  Pictures sent by email
or a first consultation are very important tools to help you and your surgeon evaluate your needs.

In your first consultation is very important that you be very explicit in your needs and expectations.  That way your surgeon will
be able to give you all the information you need to make a better surgical decision.

When can I have my procedure done?

After you decide the details for your surgery is time to schedule according to your calendar.  It is very important that you ask
how much recovery time you will need.  Recovery time takes a minimum of 7 to 15 days inside the country depending on the
kind and amount of procedures you want to get.

Are there any requirements before the surgery?

There are some tests that are required in order to assure your safety during the procedure.  These tests vary with age, health
status and your surgeon’s personal protocol.

Some of the usual ones are:

Complete Blood count with platelets
Prothrombine Time
Partial Thromboplastine Time
HIV
Hepatitis B and C.
Fasting Blood Sugar

Chest X Ray
EKG
And a Medical Clearance performed by a Cardiologist or an Internal medicine MD.

The results from these tests must be sent to your surgeon’s office within a month prior to surgery or you may coordinate to
have them done after you arrive to Costa Rica.  
They usually request a deposit at least one month prior to surgery in order to secure a space in the Operation Room.
