By choosing highly qualified surgeons, as well as clinics that drastically respect hygiene norms, you are limiting the risk of complications.

Yet, it is necessary to fully understand that even a simple surgery is dependant on a certain amount of unpredictable factors.
 
For Plastic Surgery

It is necessary to make a difference between medical complications and unsatisfactory results. Managing these two outcomes is completely different.

In case of medical complications

You should be informed that most of the complications in plastic surgery occur during the surgery or right after. Thus they are treated by the surgeon and the medical staff immediately, the most common example being the hematoma. Obviously, the extra costs involved are not charged to the patient.


The convalescence period in the country imposed by the surgeon, must be observed by the patient because it allows for a close checkup.


In case of unsatisfactory results

The concept of unsatisfactory results is often delicate in plastic surgery because subjectivity plays an important role in it. A patient/surgeon medical relationship based on mutual honesty is key.

Two scenarios can happen:

                            The surgeon accepts another surgery:

After studying the pictures he receives through your Ypsee secure account within 3 to 6 months, if the surgeon notices a lack of visible results that requires an alteration, the total fees (operation + convalescence stay) will be charged to him and the private hospital. However, the plane tickets will be yours to pay.

                             The surgeon is hesitant:

The results of a surgery often require several months, or years before being considered permanent and every patient reacts in his/her own way. The surgeon could then ask you to simply wait.

In case of doubt your surgeon will ask the advice of abrother register as a plastic surgeon with the National Council of the College of your country Physicians he will make him a detailed report of its findings.

- In case of confirmed  intervention

The total costs (of consulting surgeon + intervention + living convalescent) will be charged to the surgeon and clinic. The air travel remains at your expense.

If there was any wrongdoing, it is imponderables or simply a result which is not suitable to the patient, the surgeon may refuse to operate again. You have the possibility as is the case in your country to seek judicial redress provided, of course, to prove fault.

At this juncture, we wish to recall that surgeons are primarily professionals who, from a moral and ethical, always act in the patient interest.

 The patient also has responsibilities and obligations that he has assumed as :


-the accuracy of statements concerning medical history

-compliance with the recommendations pre procedures (smoking, drug taking prohibited, young ...)

-compliance with medical recommendations post operative (time of convalescence, physical exercise, healthy lifestyle, scars not sun exposure…)

For dental surgery

The dental clinics establish a written guarantee contract that is given to the patient as soon as the treatment ends. The guarantee can only be claimed to the clinic who took care of the surgery.

The implant guarantee is only valid if the clinic did all the work (implantation + pillar and corona, or bridge on implant)
