Time On Holiday
If you plan to have surgery abroad, you may want to think about the length of holiday necessary to recuperate – corresponding to the procedure and the healing process. You should stay long enough for the wound to heal. Then, once the healing process has ended or in final stages, spend some a few days relaxing in the travel destination because after all, you are in a tropical paradise. Proper planning will allow you to come back home feeling refreshed and fully recovered.
Our standard recommendations for length of holiday were designed based on adequate healing and recovery periods, based on our surgeons’ recommendations. And you can and should only return home once the surgeon has given the green light. We encourage you to plan your time off – from work and family, based on these suggested standard minimum time (popular single and multiple procedures) for your holiday:
Single Procedures
- Full Facelift – 14 days
- Lower Facelift – 10 days
- Browlift – 14 days
- Breast Augmentation/Reduction/Lift – 10 days
- Tummy Tuck – 14 days
- Liposuction – 10 days
Multiple Procedures
- Ultimate Makeover – 21 days (Body lift with Facelift or Breast lift)

- Lower Facelift, Breast Augmentation – 14 days
Recovery time varies widely, some heal quicker than others, particularly if you are engaged in wellness activities at least 2 months prior to surgery. A healthy diet and exercise regime can help your body bounce back much faster post surgery. If you can build a healthy lifestyle pre and post surgery, allow enough time for yourself to recuperate during and after your holiday, you’ll be sure to have a successful procedure and an enjoyable holiday.
