They have had rigorous and long training that continued beyond obtaining their university degrees.
To obtain the title of Surgeon and practice his specialty in Bolivia, the surgeons were required to take and pass All Required Certification Exams and complete a minimum of two years of medical residency.

The path to becoming an accredited Plastic Surgeon in Bolivia involves many years of training in a multitude of fields:
- 6 years at University to graduate as a General Doctor.
- 2 years rotatory residency.
- 3 years General Surgery postgraduate degree.
- 3 years Plastic, Reconstructive and Maxillofacial postgraduate
                degree involving the following fields:
   • Surgery for burned patients          • Maxillofacial Surgery
   • Reconstructive Surgery                • Reconstructive Oncologic Surgery
   • Pediatric Plastic Surgery               • Implantology
   • Microvascular Surgery                  • Body & Face Plastic Surgery.

The entire process takes an average of 14-15 years to become an accredited specialist and be part of the Bolivian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery which is the Bolivian equivalent of the U.S. American Board of Plastic Surgery.

From this time onwards, every plastic surgeon must begin a hard task of participations, exposures in as many national and international courses, fellowships, congresses and seminars in order to widen his career; this would be a continuous work during all his professional life.
Furthermore Bolivian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery demands to their member surgeons to renovate periodically their accreditation with the aim of staying current with the new techniques of their field of specialty.
Our surgeons have studied the world’s best techniques permitting them not only to achieve their current level of excellence but also to have an exquisite sense of aesthetics always respecting their patient’s likes and needs.

For their professionalism, our surgeons have been in charge for years of preparing international top models and miss to compete in the leading international beauty contests.

     is important that the patient is monitored closely during the period in the
     recovery room.

We shall be at our most attentive towards you following the treatment.
The factor that always differentiates Makeover Travel from its competitors is the priority we always give to our patients and their needs, which is why we shall give you most attention after the treatment.
As a factor that makes us different, our postoperative attention is a key to our product.

 In compliance with the code of practice of medical ethics in Bolivia, we are not at liberty to disclose the identity of our surgeons for publicity purposes. However, the name and the CV of the surgeon will be passed on to you after receipt of your medical history form.

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.
