What documents do I need to bring for treatment abroad?

Outcomes and side effects vary from person to person. Bleeding, infection, swelling and asymmetry may occur. Please consult our medical team before making a decision.

At minimum, bring your passport, a list of current medications and supplements, and records of any previous nasal surgery if applicable — including operative notes or imaging, if you're able to obtain them from your previous surgeon.

If you have travel or health insurance that might apply to your trip, it's worth bringing that documentation too, along with contact information for a doctor back home in case any follow-up communication is needed after you return.

Consultation Tip

Take clear photos of any documents you're not sure whether to bring physically, and send them to us on WhatsApp ahead of time — we'll tell you what's actually needed for your specific case.
