RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
Prior to any
surgical procedure, the Client must sign a consent form–a legal document–in
which he/she declares his/her express consent to undergo the specified
surgery, being fully-aware of the risks arising from said surgical
intervention, the Client shall inform his/her Health Care Professional
during the pre-operative consultation of any and all the antecedents in
his/her clinical history, besides seeking clarification during this
consultation regarding any and all doubts with regards to the possible
complications, characteristic risks of the surgery and post-operative
procedures.
All the corresponding risks to anesthesia, any allergic reactions, and
post-operative processes will also be analyzed at this time.
The Health Care Professional will determine if it is feasible to combine
several procedures into one single surgical intervention without putting at
risk the security and safety of the patient. If necessary, the surgeons will divide
any surgical procedure into two or more interventions.
11)
SURGICAL
GUARANTEE
Should the need arise
for a second surgical procedure to correct some flaw arising from the first
surgery; these costs will be borne by the medical team. Makeover Travel will assume all the expenses of transportation, lodging
in the hotel and extended hospitalization for the time required for recovery, up to a maximum of one week
following the second surgery, guaranteeing in a similar manner, the same
conditions of hospitalization, transportation, recovery and stay.
In case of implant surgery complications: The surgeon will guarantee for the
client that the implants or prosthesis used comply with the necessary health
and quality standards. However, as with any operation there are certain
risks with implant surgery: - Body implants (Breast and Buttock
implants) - Facial implants (Cheek, Chin, Nose). The most common risks
include bleeding, infection, body rejection, asymmetry, and scarring.
Although these events are usually infrequent, they sometimes can occur.
Our surgical guarantee covers implants complication relating to asymmetry,
any technical problem or a surgeon’s mistake;
so you will not be charged for a revision operation to correct an
undesirable result. In case of body rejection of the implant, the
surgeon may decide to remove the implant(s) from the patient's body not to
put his/her health at risk. If this should occur there is no charge
for our medical team's professional services (surgeon's and anesthesiology
professional services), but surgery center facility charges, and any other
ancillary expenses are the responsibility of the patient.
12)
WAIVER
If, once the Client has had the pre-operative consultation, the Health Care
Professional verifies that there exists physiological impediments or if
there are very high risks associated with the intervention, Makeover
Travel and the Health Care Professional are entitled to refuse to provide the surgical service, and
we will
only bill for the lodging expenses, local transportation, and contracted
services.
If for any reason the Client doesn’t arrive on the date mentioned in the
contract, the makeover Travel retains the right to cancel the other
services or to change the date of the surgery.
If for any reason, the Client decides to interrupt his/her trip, reduce it,
or not make use of any of the services offered by the Company, the latter
shall not be entitled to reimburse any amount paid.
Should Makeover Travel will have to cancel the Client’s surgery for any reason,
Makeover Travel will reimburse the entire amount paid previously.
