International Patients are more than welcome at Dr Freschi's office in Bs. As.
Dr. Freschi's office offers complete assistance to international patients arriving for plastic surgery. We have patients traveling from the all over the world. Our global patients’ program makes the experience easy and enjoyable.
Dr Freschi's office is located in Recoleta, one of the most beautiful and safest neighbourhoods in the city of Buenos Aires, the area features many European style cafes, upscale restaurants, and great shopping.
We assist international patients with all of their needs before, during and after their treatment. Planning each aspect of your travel arrangements from online or over-the-phone consultations, to after surgery patient care, we take care of every aspect to make your plastic surgery experience rewarding and pleasurable.
Dr. Freschi will maintain regular contact in the lead up to your procedure and is always a phone call or email away.
Surgery and Recovery
Surgery is scheduled 24-48 hours after your arrival. We usually advise our patients to remain in the city of Buenos Aires approximately 7-10 days to ensure a safe recovery.
All plastic surgery procedures are done in a certified and recognized Surgery Centre.
If you are traveling alone, we also offer personal aid service to escort you to the hotel room at a lower fee than a nurse. Your safety is our number one priority. You will be discharged from the clinic only after you have been completely stabilized and have meet the standards for discharge.
Typically, medical clearance is required in your country and usually includes at least blood work and EKG (electrocardiogram). This is required by the clinic which meets the highest standards in plastic surgery patients. This is done prior to your surgery and is either faxed or emailed to us.
In the case of breasts and abdominal surgery an ultrasound may be required.
The medical tests can be also done very easily in Buenos Aires, but keep in mind you will need an extra day to get the medical results.

Aesthetic plastic surgery requires that you choose a highly trained and qualified plastic surgeon. If you plan to travel outside your home country for plastic surgery, select an ISAPS member.
