Many of my patients travel to Madrid for surgery with me, from other parts of Spain and from abroad. If you live outside Madrid, the first step is a video consultation, and my international patient coordinator supports you from first contact through to your post-operative care.<\/p>\n

I trained and have practised in university hospitals in Italy, the United Kingdom and Spain, and I am certified to practise the specialty in Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

With a video consultation. It lets us get to know each other, answer your questions and guide you before you book any travel. It costs \u20ac90, the same as an in-person consultation, and that amount is deducted from the price of your surgery if you have it with me.<\/p>\n

The examination and the final decision always take place in person, at my consulting rooms in Madrid. What that appointment is like is explained in The First Consultation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To book the video consultation, send a WhatsApp message to +34 722 77 10 78<\/a> or email consultacirugia@drmarcoromeo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”How many trips will I make and how many days do I stay in Madrid?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Usually just one trip: the in-person consultation and the pre-operative assessment take place in Madrid in the days before surgery. For certain operations (rhinoplasty, for example) you can go home and come back to my clinic for the first check-up. We decide this before you go into the operating theatre.<\/p>\n

After your operation you stay in Madrid until the first check-up. As a guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Rhinoplasty<\/a><\/th>\n8 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Facelift<\/a><\/th>\n12-15 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Blepharoplasty<\/a><\/th>\n7 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Breast surgery<\/th>\n7-12 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Body surgery<\/th>\n15 days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

I give you the dates for your case in the video consultation, so you can plan your trip with time to spare.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Where will I have surgery?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

In hospital, never in a clinic: at Hospital HLA Universitario Moncloa or Hospital Universitario Vithas Madrid Aravaca, both in Madrid. HLA Moncloa is the only hospital in Madrid certified for health tourism. Depending on the procedure, you go home the same day or stay one night. I explain it in Where I Operate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What is follow-up like once I am back home?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

The first check-ups are in person, at my consulting rooms in Madrid, before you go home. After that, some of the long-term appointments can be done by video consultation. Between appointments you are not on your own: my team and I are available at any time, by phone or WhatsApp, and a photo helps a great deal in assessing a wound or swelling from a distance.<\/p>\n

All follow-up appointments are included in the price of your surgery, and I carry them out myself. What each stage is like is explained in Recovery and Post-Operative Follow-Up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”What language will I be seen in?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

I see patients in Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese. If you speak another language, my team will arrange an interpreter. We have interpreters for Russian, Arabic and Danish, among others.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Do you help with travel and accommodation?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Yes. My international patient coordinator supports you from first contact through to your post-operative care: she helps you arrange your travel, a hotel in central Madrid and an interpreter if you need one.<\/p>\n

She can also arrange your airport transfer and, if you wish, a car with driver or a personal shopper.<\/p>\n

Your whole process is confidential from start to finish.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Will I know the price before I travel? How do I pay?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

After the video consultation I give you an exact quote, so you can decide before booking your trip.<\/p>\n

The fixed quote is given in writing, as it is for every patient. Financing is only available to residents in Spain. What the quote includes and how payment works is explained in Financing and Your Quote<\/a>.<\/p>\n
