The first step is the ONLINE CONSULTATION. For this you must complete the consultation form. The aesthetic and functional goals should be clearly explained. It is also important to attach photos from different angles: front view, profile, three-quarter view and base view. These can be taken with a digital camera or cell phone; this means there is no need for professional photos. Drs. Chinski personally assess both the pictures and the case, decide the best course of action and envision a goal for the surgical result. Communication is done by e-mail, but you may also contact Dr. Luis Chinski https://www.instagram.com/dr.luis.chinski.rinoplastia or Dr. Hernan Chinski https://www.instagram.com/dr.hernan.chinski.rinoplastia/ thru their profiles in instagram. patients are welcome to ask all the questions and concerns they may have, which are personally answered by Drs Chinski.

Patients are advised to stay in Buenos Aires for about 10 /15 days. You should arrange your trip so that your consultation is made on the first day of your arrival and the surgery done the following. Since rhinoplasty is an outpatient procedure, the patient can return to his/her hotel the same day, and keep in touch with us. On the next days, post surgical checks are made at our office. Exception: those traveling from Uruguay can return to their country the day after the operation and come back to Buenos Aires for follow up 12-15 days later.

Doctors Luis and Hernan Chinski are the only ones who evaluate the case and perform the surgery. The organization and communication is done mainly by e-mail, nevertheless, patients are also welcome to make phone calls to define details and clear out doubts with doctors Chinski. For all cases, a PERSONAL CONSULTATION is arranged in advance a day or two before the surgery at Dr. Chinki’s office. In this consultation, patients meet Dr. Chinski in person for the first time. Dr. Chinski evaluates the case, takes professsional pictures and assesses the nasal function by the use of a fiberoptic endoscopy. During this consultation you speak at ease and different surgery options are analysed again; you are given advice on the best course of action to be taken and all the details are arranged. Photoshop simulation is performed as well to have a preliminary view of the expected outcome.

The photographic evaluation and written comments via e-mail are enough for surgical budgeting fees which cover surgery, all consultations, all costs of hospitalization and anesthesia. The budget does not include the cost of air travel and accommodation. Payment is made in full before the intervention, may be even on the same day of surgery. Should the surgery be paid but not performed, regardless of the reason for the cancellation, patients will receive a full reimbursement. Cash or Paypal are both accepted.

Yes. All patients undergoing surgery must have pre-op tests done. The studies include:
1. Blood Tests: CBC, glucose, urea, coagulation and HIV serology (optional).
2. Preoperative cardiac risk assesment
These studies can be performed either in your city of residence or in Buenos Aires, days before the operation or even on the same day of surgery. Patients are recomended to have their pre-op tests done in advance, prior to the consultation so as to have the results previously checked. Most of the times these studies are often performed here in Buenos Aires.

If there is a prior nasal functional pathology, respiratory obstruction or chronic sinusitis, a craniofacial computed tomography (also called CT scan paranal sinuses) could be done before the trip and pictures sent by e-mail for our assesment and appraisal. In that case, the nasal function is assesed on the PERSONAL CONSULTATION before surgery. Should a pathology be confirmed during the preoperative consultation which could be surgically solved, a functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty are performed at the same time. Common issues like septal deviation and hipertrophy of the turbinates could be solved at the same time of the surgery

PREOPERATIVE and POSTOPERATIVE instructions.

The Hotel’s choice will depend on the patient’s preference and its closeness to our offices and surgical centers. We recommend the neighborhood Palermo, which is quite close to both the office and the surgical centers. Eventually we can provide a list of suggested hotels where our patients usually stay.

The Airport “Ministro Pistarini” known as Ezeiza (EZE aeronautical nomenclature) is for international arrivals. It is 25 km from the City of Buenos Aires, an estimated driving time of 50 minutes. The Aeroparque “Jorge Newbery” (AEP) is the airport for national and regional traffic. It is quite centrally located in Buenos Aires, 15 minutes from our office and the surgical center.

Most patients usually arrive one or two days before surgery. After the personal consultation, patients often go sightseeing. After surgery , we recommend staying at the hotel for two days without leaving. After those two days, you will be able to go for short walks and to travel by taxi or tour bus. You should always wear sunscreen.

All patients are given the cellphone numbers of Drs Chinski, which are available to take care of their patients. There are also 24 hours medical centers with specialized otolaryngologists, who work together with Drs. Chinski for any unexpected situation.

The controls usually scheduled are two or three, depending on the time of your stay. If necessary, there will be more controls. When you return to your country, you can continue free consultations via e-mail or whatsapp. You will have doctor´s and asisstance´s phones numbers in case you wil need to contact. If you come back to Buenos Aires on another occasion, we encourage patients to visit our offices to take pictures and assess their satisfaction with the surgical outcome.

A few years ago, as a result of complex macroeconomic policies, Argentina devalued its currency. Foreigners will be able to see how unexpensive products and services are in comparison with prices from their country ( Argentinians do not think likewise). Therefore, and on a comparative basis, the cost of a high quality rhinoplasty in Europe or in the United States (with top professionals as experienced as Drs Chinski ) costs more than double. Buenos Aires (metropolitan area) has more than 10 million inhabitants. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis with surgical centers and technological advances of the same level as those major cities of Europe and the United States. Buenos Aires offers a variety of interesting tourist attraction. It has been awarded Travellers’ Choice ™ 2012 and it is considered one of the most attractive cities in the world to visit.
