 From
this time onwards, every plastic surgeon must begin a hard task
of
participations, exposures in as many national and international

Why can't I find much information about the hospitals and
surgeons on the web?
Plastic surgery profession in Ibero American countries is ruled
by a common code of ethics which is of obligatory fulfilment by
all the plastic surgery boards affiliated to the FILACP, a
prestigious federation that gathers together the majority of
plastic surgeons societies and boards in Spanish and Portuguese
spoken nations.
The code of ethics explicitly prohibits to its members making
publicity and advertising in media, websites, TV, etc. For this
reason you will not find their credentials listed here since all
of them are doctors with a professional career, important
positions at hospitals and universities, many of them also
involved in scientific research activities. However, patients
will have all needed information regarding plastic surgeons
assigned to their case according to type of surgery and
experience needed for each particular procedure, in a
confidential way through the Personal Information Panel.
Makeover
Travel
has done all the hard work and due diligence for
you.
Over the years, we have interviewed and
met just about every surgeon and private clinics in Bolivia. We
selected the few clinics and surgeons to work with based on the
most important factors: evidence of excellent past work, a
flawless track record, experience, service and price.
As we found out, this combination is extremely difficult to find
and hard to come by.
There is a great deal of research that goes into finding the
best surgeons and clinics, and we strongly recommend travelling
with us just for this reason.
It is extremely risky choosing a surgeon or hospital via the
internet alone, and you will not get the attention, the
Surgical Guarantee
and service from the clinics and surgeons if you travel alone
rather than with Makeover Travel.
