What is medical tourism?
Medical tourism is simply the process of traveling abroad to a specific destination to obtain certain medical procedures. Medical tourism is certainly not a new concept. Canadians and some Europeans have been traveling outside their regions for years to obtain medical procedures due the long waiting periods associated with socialized medicine. The global elite have been traveling to the US for years, for specific procedures, to our world renowned hospitals, such as Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and MD Anderson. Now US citizens have an excellent opportunity to seek top quality procedures outside the US, where they can recover in anonymity and luxury at more affordable rates.

Why should I consider plastic surgery in Brazil ?
Brazil is the n°1 country in the world for the number of plastic surgeries overseas per annum, with now more than 400,000 procedures every year, according to official statistics. The brazilian school of plastic surgery is the most famous worldwide, and many plastic surgeons from Europe of the USA go and have a post-doctorate training course in Brazil. Many of the new operation techniques were born in Brazil, too. Brazil is THE place in the world for plastic surgery.

Besides, the cost of the medical procedures in Brazil is much less expensive than the same procedures in the US. This cost differential enables you the opportunity to have a vacation in an exotic country, recover in a nice resort in complete anonymity, and then return home having spent less than the procedure alone in the US.

Is cost the most important factor that I should consider?
Cost is always an important factor to consider when seeking medical care. However, we do not encourage you to travel abroad for surgery because it is cheaper. Surgery is a risky procedure, regardless where it is performed and should be taken very seriously and discussed with your family and other professionals. If you are serious about a plastic surgery abroad, we will help you find the best hospitals and doctors to perform your surgical procedure and save money.

What is the typical cost difference of medical procedures abroad?
The difference in price depends upon the medical procedure you choose. In reviewing the cost of many procedures in the US, versus the same ones performed in Brazil, costs are typically 30-70 % lower. The greatest cost savings is typically found in multiple procedures. This significant cost reduction enables you purchase a round trip air ticket, recover in a nice resort, buy a new wardrobe, and return home saving money.

Why is medical care so much cheaper in certain countries?Although many countries have imitated our world-renowned health care system in terms of quality and technology, they have not adopted our legal system completely. Doctors in the US are required to pay medical malpractice insurance that usually cost over $100,000 annually. Foreign doctors are required to pay medical malpractice insurance as well, but their costs are as low as $4,000 annually. In addition to this insurance, the brazilian economy is at different stages of development than the US. This absolutely does not mean that their healthcare technologies and institutions are behind the US. In fact, the private hospitals in our network use exactly the same machines and instruments as the most advanced hospitals in the US.

How can I trust the quality of the foreign doctors?
To begin with, one of our key service offerings to you is to provide all the information to you about the doctors in order for you to make the most educated decision possible. We will provide you with a resume. If you are still not comfortable, we will work to provide you with the information about the doctors that is important to you.

How can I correspond with a doctor in a foreign country?
As part of our service, we will help facilitate the initial consultation between you and the doctor. Additional correspondence before traveling can be conducted via phone, email, and/or video-conference, if desired. For cosmetic surgery, the doctors will want to see images of the designated regions for surgery. These images can easily be sent via email

Are the hospitals safe?
We will do all that we can to insure that you are comfortable with the hospitals that you review. A large part of our value to you is that we have visited this facility personally and can attest to their standards of hygiene, modernity and use of technology. The hospitals in our network have accreditation from their government and non-government entities.

Why have you selected Brazil as your medical tourism destination ?
Brazil is widely considered as the n°1 country in the world for cosmetic surgery. The brazilian school of plastic surgery has the most established, most experience and highest quality. Many experienced plastic surgeons from the US and Europe come each year to train under the supervision of their brazilian peers.

What if I don’t find the procedure that I am interest in on you website?
If you are interested in or require a certain procedure that is not listed on our website, please contact us so that we may assist you in your search. Our network covers a wide spectrum of medical procedures, from the least invasive procedures to the most advanced procedures.

What if my family doctor advises against a medical procedure abroad?
Such advice is certainly to be expected. Rest assured that the US is not the only country hat has rigorous healthcare standards and strong patient rights. If fact, you may be surprised to learn that your local hospital has lost accreditation due to poor quality standards.

How can it be safe to travel so fast after a surgical procedure?
Your travel plans will be entirely dictated by the surgical procedure you select. Many procedures that are non-invasive and will enable you fly out the same day as the procedure. Once you select a procedure and destination, we inform you about the recommended recuperation time required before return travel.
