| Step by Step Guide |
|
Accurate information is vital to both the surgeon and us. All information received is treated with the strictest confidence. |
|
General Enquiry Form
The first step is to complete the General Enquiry Form. All information will be passed on to the relevant Surgeon. A cost estimate including procedure, accommodation and holiday and safari option will be forwarded to you. Please feel free to ask any questions. |
|
Medical Form
Once you submit the General Enquiry Form, you will be asked to complete the Medical Form. This information is vital to both you and the surgeon, to facilitate the initial evaluation. Once this has been done, we will set up a telephonic consultation or, if you are in the UK, a face-to-face consultation. If you have x-rays or photographs, please submit these with your Medical Form. |
|
UK Consultation
DRSA encourages a consultation in the UK to evaluate your procedure. By having a consultation at home, the surgeon will be able to assess your suitability for the procedure before your arrival in South Africa and thus disappointment can be avoided.
|
|
Booking Form
Once you have made your final decision, you will complete the Booking Form with your flight details. We will invoice you, and a non-refundable deposit of 25% is payable. The balance of your invoice is payable directly to the Dentist / Plastic Surgeon on the day of the procedure. This amount will be confirmed with you at your initial consultation. |
|
Arrival
On arrival in Cape Town, you will be met by a representative of DRSA and transferred to your designated accommodation. |
|
Pre-operative Consultation
A representative of DRSA will accompany you to your pre-operative appointment, to meet the surgeon, who will answer any questions. You and the surgeon must concur on expectations for the surgery. Please discuss any alternatives and understand the risks of the procedure before signing the consent form. The surgeon will confirm the cost of your procedure. Remember that the final decision is yours. A representative of DRSA will accompany you on the day/s of your procedure and ensure that you are comfortable and your needs provided for. |
|
Post-operative Check Up
We will keep in touch on a regular basis after your return. Your after-treatment progress is as important to us as your surgery was. A face-to-face follow-up consultation will be arranged once you return to the UK, or by email or telephone if elsewhere. We strive to improve our service, and any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. |
