We are so excited you have decided to embark on your transformative surgery journey with Azurite. However, before you proceed, it's imperative to understand the following implications risks before undergoing surgery as well as COVID.

Risks and complications

Our surgeons are ISAPS certified Plastic Reconstructive surgeons, but any surgery can come with risks. Surgery is an emotional journey and comes with risks and possible complications (for more information on risks. We cannot guarantee perfect results or post-surgery healing; results vary based on the individual's health, age, weight and desired outcome.

We recommend all clients undertake surgery insurance in the unlikely event that they may require revision surgery. This insurance will ensure your accommodation and flights are covered along with any medically necessary surgical procedures related to the previous surgery.

Azurite's chosen surgeons and hospital provide the highest standard of surgery and hospital care, as well as our trained team on site. Azurite documents the progress of your healing daily to communicate with the surgeon. If you develop concerns during your package, we will take the appropriate steps to ensure you appropriately heal and manage your healing process. However, once you are outside of your package or in your home country, you must ensure you maintain a high level of wound management to avoid complication. Airline travel carries high risk with wounds that are not healed - so you must ensure you keep your wounds clean at all times during the flight home. If at any time, you develop an infection while at home, you must consult your personal GP. It is also highly recommended to check in with your GP when you arrive home. Although it is rare to develop an infection beyond superficial, if you do develop an infection during your stay, Azurite will provide the necessary medication. You can request to be tested for the super bug, (small cost may be applied to your test and responsibility of the client)

Post-surgery aftercare/Medical Advice

Although Azurite can offer suggestions on healing, we cannot legally provide medical advice on surgery or during post-surgery aftercare. You must consult the surgeon during your pre and post-surgery consults for personal medical advice. Azurite quotes based on the surgeon's recommended program of package stay and hospital duration and cannot alter this. Hospital stays are based on one- two-three nights, including the operation night itself, but depending on how you are healing, you may go home a night early. If you find you are not happy with the usual hospital stay of 2-3 nights, you must pay for an additional night directly to the hospital

Once you arrive at the hotel, Azurite provides an onsite nurse, but their services are not 24 hours and are not to be relied on as it is a value-added service at no cost to your package. As part of the package, Azurite allows clients travel with a companion at no extra cost, so it is advised you bring a companion to assist with physical and emotional support.

Depression and anxiety

It is essential to understand that if you suffer from anxiety or depression, surgery can make this worse during the healing process. You must not use surgery to resolve any ongoing mental health issues. Your GP can also be a great source of advice for how to manage this. If you find you are suffering more than usual, you can call the helplines below:</p>
