It is a video call, and we send you a guide for the photos and videos we need beforehand. You only travel once surgery has been indicated and you have decided to go ahead.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"tlac-faq-item\">\r\n        <h3>Will I be understood in English?<\/h3>\r\n        <p>Yes. Dr. Carballeira speaks English and Portuguese, and the team attends international patients in English. For other languages we arrange an interpreter.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"tlac-faq-item\">\r\n        <h3>Why fifteen days?<\/h3>\r\n        <p>Because recovery after lipedema surgery is monitored, not just waited out: dressings, compression, lymphatic drainage and checks before you are cleared to fly. Leaving earlier would mean flying without that supervision.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"tlac-faq-item\">\r\n        <h3>Can someone come with me?<\/h3>\r\n        <p>Yes, and we help organise their accommodation too.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"tlac-faq-item\">\r\n        <h3>What if something happens once I am home?<\/h3>\r\n        <p>You have a 24-hour emergency line, weekly video follow-ups with the nurse in the early stage, and reviews with the doctor at 3, 6 and 12 months, for a full year until discharge.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"tlac-faq-item\">\r\n        <h3>Do you offer financing or work with insurers?<\/h3>\r\n        <p>No. There is no financing for international patients, and we have no case of a foreign insurer covering this surgery.
