Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Medical Tourism?

​Medical tourism refers to the practice of traveling to another country to receive medical treatment, often at a more affordable cost than in your home country. It can include procedures like cosmetic surgery, dental work, beauty treatments, and non-invasive procedures. Many patients choose medical tourism to access high-quality healthcare, experience a new culture, and save on costs.

 

2. Why Should I Consider Medical Tourism for Cosmetic Surgery?

Choosing medical tourism for cosmetic surgery allows you to access top-tier surgeons and medical facilities at a fraction of the cost you might pay at home. Countries like Colombia are renowned for their skilled plastic surgeons and advanced medical infrastructure, making them popular destinations for procedures like liposuction, rhinoplasty, and breast augmentation. Additionally, you can enjoy a relaxing recovery in a beautiful, tranquil setting.

Ora works closely with local legal experts to ensure that all procedures comply with international laws and that you are fully informed of your rights and responsibilities.

 

9. How Do I Prepare for a Medical Tourism Trip?

Preparation is key to a successful medical tourism experience. Start by consulting with your chosen medical professional to discuss the procedure and recovery process. Make sure to arrange for travel and accommodation well in advance, and consider taking out medical travel insurance.
