Rehabilitation & physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is not included in the base surgical package — it is sold separately within optional 3-month accommodation packages (roughly $6,750–$10,900). Budget for structured post-discharge rehab as an added cost; the delivery model (in-house vs referred) is not confirmed.

Verification covers: named surgeon credentials, hospital affiliation, methods offered, public-facing website, and regulatory status. We re-verify quarterly. If a clinic fails a re-verification, we add an editorial note or demote its tier — we do not quietly remove it.
This directory is editorial. It is not medical advice, an endorsement, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified surgeon. Pricing and availability change — always verify directly with the clinic before making decisions.
