What to ask before travelling for aesthetic surgery

Verify who is responsible for your care

Ask who the lead surgeon is, whether that same person conducts your consultation and who you will see on surgery day. A serious clinic should be comfortable sharing credentials, experience and a realistic explanation of the procedure.

You should also understand where the operation takes place and whether overnight observation is recommended for your case.

Plan your stay around recovery, not only the operation

Patients often focus on surgery day, but the recovery window is just as important. Ask how long you should remain in Albania, when the first check takes place and what kind of activity restrictions to expect before flying home.

This helps you plan accommodation, travel timing and support with less stress.

Know what follow-up looks like once you return home

Before you book, ask how the clinic handles check-ins, wound photos, medication questions and urgent concerns after you return home. The best experience feels coordinated from the first consultation to the final recovery stage.
