What shapes the cost of your procedure
Every plan is built around your anatomy and goals, so your quote comes after your consultation rather than from a price list. These are the factors that move it.
Technique & complexity
The approach chosen for your anatomy, and whether procedures are combined.
Hospital & operating time
Facility fees and time in theatre scale with the procedure.
Anaesthesia & team
Specialist anaesthesiology and surgical support.
Implants or materials
Where applicable — type, size and brand all affect cost.
Follow-up & aftercare
Post-operative reviews are part of the plan, not an add-on.
Your travel & stay
Budgeted separately — the team helps you plan around it.

What travelling for surgery actually looks like
- 01
Before you fly
A virtual consultation sets the plan, then the team coordinates dates and pre-operative testing.
- 02
Your stay
Most patients stay from about a week up to three weeks depending on the procedure. Your exact stay is defined in consultation.
- 03
Bring a companion
Recommended for comfort in the first days. If that isn't possible, local post-operative care can be arranged.
- 04
Once you're home
Follow-up continues virtually — photographs, video calls and scheduled reviews.
A clear, guided process — from consultation to final results
- 01
Personalized planning
Every journey begins with a one-on-one virtual consultation where Dr. López takes time to understand your goals, concerns, and vision. Together you'll create a surgical plan tailored to your anatomy and the results you want.
- 02
The surgical procedure
Your surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a certified hospital where safety, precision, and comfort are the top priorities. Dr. López selects the technique that best fits your anatomy and goals.
- 03
The first days
You'll wear a compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling. Some tightness, bruising, or discomfort is completely normal during the first week — most patients are surprised how quickly it fades.
- 04
Follow-ups and aftercare
Most patients are back to their daily routines within 5–7 days. Dr. López personally checks your incisions, monitors your healing, and adjusts your care plan as needed.
- 05
Final results
Your shape continues to refine over the next 2–3 months as swelling fades and tissues settle naturally, creating long-lasting, beautifully balanced results.
