LIPOTOURISM©
Combining Cosmetic Plastic Surgery and Tourism

Cosmetic surgery away from the eyes of nosey neighbors appeals to many people. Many people choose to be tourist and patient at the same time. It has many good points but it also has some problems. You have to decide if the combination of vacation and surgery is worthwhile.

Lipotourism© (a term invented by Dr. Hudson) is not for everyone but may suit some patient's needs very well. Thinking about all aspects beforehand will allow you to prepare and enjoy the experience.

Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your surgery away from home.

Choosing a doctor: find the right doctor and see if the standard of training is good enough
Background check: with a little help and the internet you can find out a lot before you leave home and avoid unpleasant surprises
Thrombosis (DVT) and embolism: surgery and long distance travel can be a lethal combination
Location and picking a good place: a good vacation spot is not always the same as a good place to have surgery
Water and food: local conditions may make the difference between a successful outcome and a disaster
Get a physical exam before you leave home: make certain that you are a safe candidate for surgery from a doctor you already know and trust
Suitable operations for long distance surgery: not every operation is suitable to be performed a long way from home
Check the facility: make certain you know where the operation is going to be done
Payment and cost: advice on how to pay for surgery and avoid fraud
Places to stay after the surgery: advice and information about accommodations after your operation
Doctor visits before and after surgery: make certain you know how many visits you will need before and after surgery and when it is safe to go home
Travel companions: consider a travelling companion, you won’t feel so lonely with a friend around
Allow time for recovery: don’t rush yourself or return home too soon
Air travel tips: flying at anytime has problems, even more so after surgery
Car travel tips: even a long automobile trip is not without problems
