Our Answers

How are pre-procedure checks performed?

Tour Médico will list the pre-surgical tests to be done near the patient’s accommodations. The relevant test results will be delivered to Tour Médico, together with the photos of the areas subject to surgery, following Tour Médico’s directions

What are the pre-surgery tests needed? And which tests are covered in full by the procedure price?

Any tests required by Tour Médico’s medical team will be based on the type of procedure to be performed. The costs of such tests are not included in the total cost of the procedure because they can easily be done in the patient’s country of residence. Broadly speaking, the main tests are blood and heart tests. Other specific tests may be later added as required by Tour Médico’s medical team. Such tests are necessary to determine whether the patient may undergo a procedure in the absence of clinical contraindications, allowing the surgeon and the anesthesiologist to complete the patient’s medical history. Blood tests: hemogram, glycemia, prothrombin, blood clotting time, Kaolin Partial Thromboplastin Time (KPTT), and HIV. Heart Tests: EKG (electrocardiogram), cardiovascular exam, and surgical risk assessment.

Does the patient need to send photos of the areas subject to surgery?

Sending photos of the areas subject to surgery is absolutely necessary to determine whether a procedure is feasible, and to give professional advice providing the best solution to the problem in question. The type, nature and number of photos to be delivered will be requested on the basis of the procedure to be performed.

Una volta in Argentina come si sviluppa concretamente l'organizzazione dell'intervento?

Al vostro arrivo all'aereoporto un autista vi aspetterà per condurvi alla clinica dove incontrerete un interprete che vi aiuterà nei colloqui e nel completamento di tutte le formalità preliminari. Una volta realizzato l'intervento chirurgico, quando i medici lo riterranno opportuno, sarà libero di recarsi in hotel. Nei giorni seguenti, d'accordo con i medici, si sottometterà a visite di controllo post-operatorio con l'assistenza di un accompagnatore. Salire

Once the patient has arrived in Argentina, how is the procedure specifically organized?

When the patient arrives at the airport in Buenos Aires, there will be a driver waiting to take them to the clinic. Once there, an escort interpreter will be ready to assist the patient in communicating and going through all the preliminary formalities. Once the surgical procedure is over, and when the performing doctors consider it appropriate, the patient will be free to go to their hotel. On the days following the procedure, as required by their doctors, the patient will have to see them for post-surgery control, accompanied by their escort interpreter.

What is the minimum length of stay that is necessary for a patient undergoing a surgical procedure?

It varies according to the type of procedure that is required and actually performed. A week’s stay is indispensable to guarantee the patient a thorough post-surgical control, thus allowing them to go back to their country fully relaxed.

Is it possible for a patient to have more than one surgical procedure performed at the same time?

It is often possible for a patient to have more than one surgical procedure performed simultaneously. In this case, our medical team will also evaluate the procedures required.

How can one check the capabilities, skills and expertise of both the performing surgeon and his medical team?

The CVs of the surgeon and his medical team can always be checked either by browsing the Internet or by asking for information from the organizations related to aesthetic-plastic surgery in our country.
