Questions to ask any international program

• Who is responsible for my care if a complication occurs after I return home?
• What facility will I be operated in, and what is its accreditation status?
• What is the surgeon's training, case volume, and revision rate?
• What is the written cost breakdown — including device, facility, anesthesia, hospitalization, and follow-up?

Individual outcomes vary. Candidacy is consultation-dependent. Consultation with a qualified physician is required.
