Good preparation makes a consultation more useful and a trip easier to organise. Start with your health information and priorities, then confirm the hospital’s instructions before arranging travel.
Prepare your consultation file
Include unfiltered photographs in the requested views, previous surgery details, medical conditions, allergies, medicines, vitamins and supplements. Explain your goals and the features you do not want changed.
Confirm the hospital’s plan
Ask who will operate, what tests are required and how the hospital handles emergencies. Obtain the fasting and medicine instructions directly from the treating team; do not change medication on your own.
Plan beyond the operation
Confirm the consultation, procedure and follow-up dates, including stitch removal where relevant. Ask how long to remain nearby, how the return flight will be assessed and how reviews will continue at home. Keep contact details and written instructions accessible.
Before you book
Make sure you understand the proposed benefits, risks, alternatives and recovery commitments. Santongsuai can help coordinate the information and appointments, while your surgeon assesses suitability and determines the medical instructions.
