Can my family watch my surgery happen in real time?

Published

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.

A

Yes — this is something we hear a lot of relief about from international patients' families. Rather than waiting for hours with no information, your companion can watch your surgery live via CCTV footage from the operating room, streamed to the waiting area.

This kind of transparency reflects a broader philosophy at our clinic: patients and their families deserve honest visibility into their care, not a closed door and a long wait. It also means your companion can see for themselves that your surgery is progressing as planned, rather than relying solely on updates after the fact.

Consultation Tip

Let your coordinator know in advance if a companion will be joining you on surgery day — they'll make sure the waiting area setup is ready for CCTV viewing when your procedure begins.

What follows is general guidance. The actual cause and surgical approach are decided only after an internal examination, a CT scan and a review of your previous surgical history.
