Care for patients outside São Paulo: how to get otoplasty in Brazil safely

If you don’t live in São Paulo — or even outside Brazil — it is entirely possible to undergo otoplasty in Brazil with safety, proper planning, and full follow-up.

Brazil is currently one of the leading destinations for medical tourism, especially for plastic surgery in São Paulo, which is home to some of the country’s top specialists.

Dr. Rafael Zatz, a plastic surgeon specialized in ear procedures, treats patients from all over Brazil and internationally, offering a structured model for those seeking ear surgery in São Paulo, even from abroad.

How does ear surgery work for patients living outside São Paulo?

1. Initial video consultation (online assessment)

The first step is a video consultation, ideal for patients who want to:

  • Undergo otoplasty in Brazil
  • Have ear surgery in São Paulo
  • Start treatment remotely with safety

During this consultation, we assess:

  • Type of ear condition
  • Medical history
  • Patient expectations

From this, it is possible to:

  • Define the diagnosis
  • Recommend the best treatment
  • Explain the full surgical and post-operative process

In most cases, the entire plan is already defined at this stage

2. Travel planning (medical tourism in Brazil)

After the consultation, our team provides guidance on:

  • Ideal length of stay
  • Travel planning
  • Treatment logistics

For patients seeking plastic surgery in Brazil, we recommend a minimum stay of 7 days in São Paulo

This includes the 3 essential in-person steps:

  • Preoperative consultation
  • Surgical procedure
  • First post-operative follow-up

Important: this timeline is flexible and can be adjusted to each patient’s needs

3. In-person consultation in São Paulo

Upon arrival, we perform an in-person consultation to:

  • Confirm the previously defined plan
  • Evaluate specific details

A crucial step to ensure safety and precision

4. Ear surgery (otoplasty in São Paulo)

The procedure is performed:

  • The next day
    or
  • Within two days after consultation

This model is ideal for patients seeking otoplasty in São Paulo with convenience

5. Early post-operative care

After surgery:

  • Follow-up visit in 3 to 5 days
  • Dressing removal
  • Detailed care instructions

6. Return home + follow-up

After this, the patient returns home.
