Is it safe to get plastic surgery in Brazil?

Question

I want a nose job, but I'm worried about the safety factor of getting it in brazil where it's cheaper. Also, once you get a nose job, do you have to have another one after a few years?

Answer 1

You need to select a good doctor, same as you would do at home. Also, make sure you speak a common language.
Is it really cheaper when you figure in the cost of travel and accommodations?

Answer 2

Well, Brazil is indeed very famous and advanced in plastic surgery and is the one which introduced a lot of innovative techniques to the world. But honestly all I can say is no matter where you go and how qualified the doc is, Nothing just like anything else in life is 100% guaranteed, although better the doc better the success rate of course. Surely american doctors will say they are poorly trained, etc... Actually they would say bad things about anyone who are taking their clients away. I got a piece of an article as evidence to what I said. "The acknowledged founding father of plastic surgery is Brazil's Ivo Pitanguy. The surgeon, 80, has performed face-lifts, breast enhancements and other operations on thousands of patients. He has taught more than 600 cosmetic surgeons, who are practicing in at least 43 countries, and is the inventor of procedures reproduced around the globe, including techniques for minimizing scarring, and the "Brazilian butt-lift," in which flesh is added to a patient's behind to make it rounder." *Not all stuff in third world countries are bad, mostly yes but not all otherwise you wouldn't see big Mansions, Ferraris and Lamborghinis hanging around in such "poor" places. lol Besides, good lucky. :)

A nose job doesn't need to be redone. Unlike a facelift that will sag back down again over time, a nose job is pretty much permanent.

I don't know anything about Brazilian plastic surgeons, but keep in mind you have to add the cost of travelling there and staying there for an extended period of time, so it may not wind up being cheaper at all.

Excuse me, but your question sounds full of prejudice. There are lots of wealthy people here in Brazil (like me), where do you think those people make their surgery? In a dirty hospital? Come on, don't be so close-minded there is a HUGE world outside North America-Europe. Do you know who Niki Lauda is? Well, Niki Lauda was World-famous Austrian races, in a terrible accident he had his face destroyed. Do you who made the surgery that fixed up the face of Lauda? A Brazilian surgeon, Ivo Pitanguy, the surgery was made in Brazil, by the way.

Only because Brazil is a country where whites are not the majority...

Racis...

Never mind.

Nose Job surgery has become very common now. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America.

Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.

Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices.

I wouldn't even consider it. Please see a reputable doctor such as Denenberg, Davis or Toriumi. It might cost more, but you will end up paying a lot more in revisions if a surgeon abroad messes it up!

And once it's done, it is permanent. HTH : )
