FAQ
We've compiled some of the most frequently asked questions here.
If you still have questions, click the button below and talk to us, we’ll be happy to assist you.
Is it safe to have surgery in Brazil? Are the hospitals reliable?
Absolutely. Brazil is a global leader in medical tourism and the second-largest country in the world for plastic and metabolic surgeries. Dr. Lenzi operates exclusively in accredited hospitals equipped with world-class ICUs and technology that meets or exceeds U.S. safety standards. You get the same level of care you’d expect at home, often with more personalized attention.
Why is the cost so much lower than in the USA? Is the quality lower?
The lower cost is strictly due to economic factors, not medical quality. The favorable exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Brazilian Real, combined with lower administrative and malpractice insurance costs in Brazil, allows us to offer premium care at 30-60% less. You are saving on the “system,” not on the surgeon’s expertise.
Does Dr. Lenzi and the medical team speak English?
Yes. Dr. Hugo Lenzi is fluent in English, ensuring clear communication during your consultation, surgery, and recovery. We also have bilingual staff to assist you at the clinic, so you will never feel lost or misunderstood.
How long do I need to stay in Brazil?
For bariatric procedures, we typically recommend a stay of 10 to 14 days. This allows for pre-op exams, the surgery itself, and a safe initial recovery period before you fly back. Dr. Lenzi will clear you for travel only when it is medically safe to do so.
Do I need a Visa to enter Brazil?
Entry requirements can change. Currently, U.S. and Canadian citizens may require an electronic visa (e-Visa). It is a simple online process. We recommend checking with your local consulate or asking our concierge team for the latest travel guidelines.
Can I bring a companion/family member?
Highly recommended. Having a support person is great for your emotional well-being and helps with small tasks during recovery. We can suggest accommodations that comfortably host both of you.
Do you accept U.S. Health Insurance?
Most U.S. insurance plans do not cover medical tourism or elective surgeries abroad. However, because our full concierge package is often less than a typical U.S. deductible or co-pay, many patients find it more affordable to pay out-of-pocket with us than to use their insurance at home. We accept wire transfers and major credit cards.
