Travelling to Kelowna for Plastic Surgery

You don’t have to travel to another city when you’re looking to buy a new car – the majority of local dealerships will suffice. But when it comes to cosmetic surgery, travelling to Kelowna to have an experienced board certified plastic surgeon is worth it. After all, we are talking about big physical changes to your body; you want the best possible surgeon to perform the procedure. It’s the two birds with one stone analogy; world-class cosmetic surgery, and a visit to Canada’s vacation mecca, Kelowna.

Travelling for plastic surgery purposes is becoming increasingly popular; however, remember that depending on the procedure, there is a recovery period for all surgeries. As safe as having breast augmentation surgery is, you won’t be jumping into the Lake Okanagan the following day. If you are travelling to Kelowna for breast augmentation, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or any other cosmetic surgery, Dr. Peterson highly recommends bringing a family member or close friend that has the ability to help during the recovery period. Cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation will require dressings to be changed and you will have limited mobility. Along with bringing a family member or friend, make sure to book a hotel or have a place to stay in advance of your travels, preferably somewhere close to the clinic.

Whether you’re travelling to Kelowna or remaining in your home city, Dr. Brian Peterson advises on doing due diligence when researching both the procedure and the surgeon who will perform it. Always have a board certified plastic surgeon perform any cosmetic surgery. Check out both reviews and websites, and make sure you communicate directly with the clinic’s staff.

Visit Kelowna in advance of your procedure, and use the time to settle-in and enjoy what the Okanagan has to offer. Dr. Peterson’s primary concern before and after any procedure is patient care. He will monitor your recovery and make sure that the “new you” is safe to travel back to your home city.
