What we currently refer for
Seven low-risk procedure categories where the trip math, recovery profile, and continuity-of-care plan all check out. We've deliberately narrowed the offer until our patient cohort is wider than it is today — every case is clinically reviewed before booking, and some patients are told to stay home.
cosmetic
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
Upper or lower eyelid surgery — day procedure, fast recovery, fits a 5-7 day trip. About 60% cheaper than Canadian private clinics with the same surgeon training pedigree.
CA wait
3-8 mo
Abroad cost
$1,500–$2,800
dental
Dental implant
Single-tooth or multi-tooth dental implants from internationally-trained surgeons. Same industry-standard implant systems as Canadian clinics, half the cost.
CA wait
1-6 mo
Abroad cost
$1,500–$3,000
fertility
IVF (in vitro fertilisation)
A full IVF cycle — stimulation monitoring, egg retrieval under sedation, and fresh or frozen embryo transfer — at JCI-accredited Vietnamese fertility centres for roughly a third of Canadian private pricing. Hormone protocol coordinated with your Canadian fertility clinic before you fly.
CA wait
6-18 mo
Abroad cost
$4,000–$8,000
ophthalmology
LASIK / refractive eye surgery
Laser refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK, SMILE) on modern excimer / femtosecond platforms. Same generation of laser as Canadian private clinics, roughly a third of the price. The case for going abroad is cost, not wait — Canadian private LASIK is fast; it's just expensive.
CA wait
0-2 mo
Abroad cost
$900–$1,600
imaging
MRI scan (3T)
Diagnostic MRI imaging on a current-generation 3T scanner. Contrast and non-contrast studies. Reports in English. Skip the 14-month Canadian public-system queue.
CA wait
6-18 mo
Abroad cost
$350–$600
minimally-invasive
Prostate artery embolization (PAE)
Catheter-based BPH treatment under fluoroscopy. 60-90 minute day procedure, no urethral instrumentation, no catheter for weeks. Travel-friendly recovery — fly home in 5-7 days.
CA wait
6-14 mo
Abroad cost
$4,000–$6,000
minimally-invasive
Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)
Catheter-based fibroid treatment without hysterectomy. Day procedure, 5-7 day recovery, preserves the uterus. The first-line option that Canadian academic IR offers but provincial referral pathways often don't.
CA wait
4-12 mo
Abroad cost
$3,500–$5,500
Not in current scope
Common cosmetic procedures we get asked about. They sit outside our current low-risk scope — general anaesthesia plus week-plus recovery windows make the continuity-of-care math harder than what we'll book today. We keep these pages live so you can read our honest take, and we'll let you know if scope expands.
cosmetic
Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation with internationally-certified implants (FDA / CE-marked). Same systems used in Canadian clinics, transparent fixed pricing, structured 7-10 day recovery.
CA wait
3-9 mo
Abroad cost
$4,000–$6,500
cosmetic
Rhinoplasty
Functional and cosmetic rhinoplasty by internationally-trained surgeons. Same techniques used in Canadian private clinics — typically 50-60% less, no Canadian wait.
CA wait
4-12 mo
Abroad cost
$3,000–$5,500
