Bolivia is undoubtedly one of world’s leading countries for cosmetic and plastic surgery.
Cosmetic surgery tourism is not new phenomenon in Bolivia. For years, savvy travelers have traveled to Bolivia for medical, dental and cosmetic surgery procedures, seeking and finding significant cost savings without sacrificing quality of care.

The prices are extremely competitive in Bolivia.
One of the main reasons for going to Bolivia for cosmetic surgery is undoubtedly the professional excellence, the exquisite Latin Sense of Aesthetics of their surgeons, and cost saving.

Why have we chosen the city of Santa Cruz for your trip?
In Santa Cruz, you will find cosmetic surgeons with outstanding skills, wide experience and innovative techniques. Many foreigners had surgery in Bolivia and experienced surgeons who treated them in their warm friendly way, with a very sensitive feeling for aesthetics and with there capability to leave almost invisible scars.
Forest, rivers and prairies. Hallucinated places of exuberant vegetation, rural and suffocating corners conform the territory of the department of Santa Cruz de la Sierra located in the oriental part of Bolivia.
Prosperous city of modern shades, Santa Cruz has became the economic heart of the country. Thousands of Bolivians decided to tempt fortune in the hot Orient, attracted by the vertiginous commercial and agricultural development… the borders extended and the old urban helmet was surrounded by showy buildings and very transited avenues.
Santa Cruz is also renowned for having the best hospitals for surgeries in Bolivia, where some of the most complex surgeries like hip or knee replacement surgery or cardiac surgery can be done in just a few days, at a fraction of the cost compared with the Western World.
Sensual and festival. Warm, modern and agitated. That is Santa Cruz de la Sierra, the tropical paradise of South America.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra is a very safe cosmopolitan city, that offers an impressive variety of tourist activities and a great diversity of International restaurants, with a cost of live that you will not find in none of other country…
a young and authentic city with an unique style.
If we have chosen Santa Cruz for your Image transformation
it is not a coincidence.
We could have chosen for your “vacations” another city than Santa Cruz, or another place like “a beach” place for example; or one of those thousands of places you can find in Bolivia with mountains, snow; where you could practice “amazing” activities as swimming, riding, parasailing, or skiing…
But we have decided not to do it for a simple reason:
Not to put the health or life of our patients in danger!
Certain medical procedures due to their nature and required post surgery care do not permit vacations.
We mention this because some plastic surgery clinics overseas position the surgery package as a way to have some fun while you are in recovery.
That is why apart from airfare and hotel, they also throw in spa services and sightseeing. Our recommendation is that you get the plastic surgery done right in one trip and think about a pleasure trip some other time.
In case of certain treatments like Hair Transplant, Rhinoplasty, some face surgeries and Dental treatments where hospitalization is not required, Makeover Travel makes an arrangement to combine with beautiful and memorable holidays (strictly as per medical advice).
We will pamper you with a trip of a lifetime!
No clinic at home could ever offer this combination of service, quality and great prices.
At Makeover Travel, we have one goal…to provide quality and compassionate care for each individual patient, because that is what you are, an individual with an unique set of circumstances, symptoms and healthcare needs.
At Makeover Travel, we meet your needs by reaching a new level of healthcare…total healthcare.

With us you will enjoy a trip of dream, responding to the different needs from the human being; plenty of emotions, of scents and flavors that you will never forget, a unique and wonderful trip that will allow you to reach not only the body you always dreamt, but also the happiness that you looked for during so much years!

Financing Your Plastic Surgery with Credit Cards or Personal Loans
Plastic surgery today is something that many people just like you and I consider for one reason or another. For some people, plastic surgery is needed to fix the aftermath of an accident or illness, while other people simply choose to improve upon their natural born body.
With this new availability of plastic surgery to the masses, the issue of how to pay for procedures is on a lot of people’s minds these days.
Unless your plastic surgery procedure is medically necessary, most insurance companies will not pay for it – at all. Thankfully, today many financial companies realize the need for loans designed especially for people who want to have expensive medical or dental work performed.
Rather than have to charge thousands of dollars to a high interest credit card, many financial institutions now offer what are referred to as “medical loans.” With a medical loan you can finance the cost of your surgery and make payments on it over time. And, unlike credit cards, the interest rate on a medical loan is usually at a very reasonable rate as long as you have decent credit scores.
Some people have a hard time justifying the financing of their plastic surgery. It is an elective procedure. However, it is often helpful to think of it as an investment in yourself in your self-image and self-esteem.
For example, if your vehicle needed to have body work done on it, you would take it to the shop and if you couldn’t afford the bill all at once, then you would put it on a credit card. This allows you to drive around in a nice car and make payments on the work that was done.
Similarly, financing your plastic surgery procedure allows you to have the work done to improve the look of your body and then pay it off over time, rather than having to come up with a large amount of money all at once.
If you need assistance in paying for your plastic surgery procedure, the first place you should start is at your doctor’s office. Many physicians’ offices can help guide you to reputable finance companies who offer medical loans. Medical loans from financial companies are generally available for amounts between $1,000 and $25,000 and usually offer terms of payback over 24 to 60 months.
If you would prefer not to work with a bank or financing company, many plastic surgery clinics can work with you directly to offer you a payment plan. Some plastic surgery clinics will allow you to pay for part of your surgery up-front and then make payments, while others will allow you to have the procedure and make payments after it is completed. The exact payment options depend on the plastic surgery clinic you choose to use.
Just as with any other financing you agree to in your life, make sure that before you ever sign anything promising to pay, you completely understand the terms of repayment and the exact costs of the loan as well. If the interest rate or payments are too high for you, shop around and find yourself a better deal.
Financing plastic surgery can be a great way to get the medical care you need or want today, and to spread the cost out over time to make it more affordable. However, you need to understand your financing options and choose from them wisely. By working with your plastic surgery clinic, you can find the best financing terms available to you.

Avoid Bad Plastic Surgery – Ten Precautionary Steps
Bad celebrity plastic surgery consistently gets blizzards of media coverage. However, these mishaps are not confined to celebrities. Cosmetic surgical procedures can produce wonderful, sometimes astonishing transformations in appearance, feelings of self worth and self confidence. What the media barrage points up is that plastic surgery gone wrong has no respect for who you are.
If you are contemplating elective plastic surgery, what can you do to elude the polar opposite of a marvelous outcome? Here you’ll see a roadmap to assist you in fulfilling your end of the equation to avoid what sometimes is popularly called “awful plastic surgery”.
1. Ask if your doctor is Board Certified: Be sure that the cosmetic surgeon you select is board certified. The doctor you select choose be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. This assures that the physician specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, has received years of cosmetic surgery training, undergone stiff examinations and established the necessary competence in the specialty.
2. Verify that your Doctor specializes in the procedure you’re seeking: A plastic surgeon whose specialty is breast implants may not be the best choice to rearrange your nose.
3. Your expectations should be realistic: While cosmetic surgical procedures can deliver astounding improvements in appearance, the precise aesthetics you desire, in reality, may not be attainable. Scrutinize your motives and be realistic and levelheaded.
4. Determine that your physical and emotional health is good: A complete examination of your past and present physical health, emotional health and motives for wanting plastic surgery should be conducted by your doctor.
5. STOP SMOKING! – if you’re a smoker: Smoking can lead to complications and hinder achieving the desired result.
6. Consult at least one more physician: Too many unqualified fraudsters seek to entice patients in this field. They can sound very convincing. Be wary, and check, at a minimum, that they are a Board Certified plastic surgeon.
7. Get pictures and testimonials: Any doctor who has a good track record will show you pictures of former patients and provide testimonials. It’s a good idea to see if you can speak with prior patients.
8. Be certain you understand the costs of cosmetic surgery: A doctor offering a cut rate may be unqualified. If you are considering leaving the United States for cheaper surgery, bear in mind that many other countries do not adhere to U.S. standards. Do the math, including air fare, hotel, meals, etc.
9. Be aware of the risks of plastic surgery: All surgeries carry risks. Among the risks are infection, anesthesia, reaction to medications, blood clots, respiratory difficulties and death. Plastic surgery is no different.
10. Think twice about having multiple surgical procedures done simultaneously: This poses increased risks, all of which should be discussed with you by your surgeon.
A couple of additional points need to be considered:
Cosmetic plastic surgery is elective and is not covered by most forms of medical insurance. For those on a limited budget, it’s well to think about whether paying for surgery for cosmetic reasons will leave you so financially strapped that the anticipated outcome will fail to outweigh the distress of financial hardship.
This raises the question of having plastic surgery performed in another country. While costs can be substantially reduced in countries like Thailand, Brazil and India, you need to take into account the costs of air fare, hotels, meals, etc. Many seemingly attractive packages are promoted, but, in the final analysis, many people report that the only justifiable rationale for exiting the U.S. is for the sake of anonymity (many celebrities do this) or simply to mix the surgery with a vacation.
Your own common sense, armed with the information you assemble following the steps suggested here, will strengthen your chances of having a wonderful new you and preclude a bad plastic surgery outcome.

Computer-aided Plastic Surgery – the Nose Clinic, South Africa
Want to preview the likely results of your Nasal Surgery? The Nose Clinic uses advanced computer-aided technology, the Mirror 2000 system, to provide a photographic preview of the proposed Rhinoplasty outcome.
This exciting, positive and co-operative process involves full-face digital photographs, taken from different angles, on a computer screen. Patients are invited to view and approve the proposed changes, even taking the photographs home before committing themselves to surgery. After all, our patients live with the results of our work.
Nasal Surgery is usually conducted in hospital under general anaesthesia. But this inherently risky gas-induced procedure can have debilitating side effects. The Nose Clinic, by contrast, offers a safe, swift and pain free alternative — conscious sedation for Rhinoplasty. This form of surgical sedation for Rhinoplasty was pioneered and perfected by our expert specialist surgeon and is internationally accepted by medical experts. With conscious sedation, Rhinoplasty patients are discharged just a few hours after surgery is completed, allowing them to recover in comfort at home or in an excellent guesthouse close to the Nose Clinic. And the benefits of conscious sedation for Rhinoplasty don’t end there! Thanks to the fact that this procedure is less invasive than general anaesthetic, there’s less bruising and swelling around the operative areas, meaning a swifter and happier recovery.
Contrary to what many of us believe, the discomfort from most injections is not caused by the needle penetrating the skin, but by the flow of anaesthetic into the tissue — and that is precisely where our pioneering work in Rhinoplasty anaesthetic begins. The key to conscious sedation for Rhinoplasty is the computer-aided WAND™ system. A microprocessor calibrates and delivers local anaesthetic in conjunction with a tiny, bevelled needle that works at a constant pressure regardless of variations in tissue density. This creates a smooth pathway for the flow of anaesthesia — and, importantly for our patients — is both pain free and safe. Conducted in conjunction with a sedative, conscious sedation is so patient-friendly that most patients doze comfortably for the duration of the procedure.
