Ypsée Passport Services

Ypsée is the only website that allows you to submit your requests at once, whatever the surgery type (cosmetic or dental), and directly to the partner surgeons that you will have selected.

For that end, first choose the type of surgery needed, select one or more surgeons, fill our online medical form (you can ask your general practitioner for help), submit your pictures and write your requests/motivations/expectations.

A few recommendations on the right pictures to enclose with your medical form:

• Plastic surgery
Take 3 to 4 digital color photos of the areas to be operated.
For the body (full-frontal photos, rear view, left and right profiles)
For the face (full-frontal photos, left and right profiles)
• Dental surgery
Take photos as shown below:

(right, left, full-frontal, from above, from under)
A panoramic radiography is required for the quote.
      
       

To enclose the Panorex on your secure online account, you have two options:
-Do a scanner of your radio
-Ask to have it made in the digital format by your radiology center.

You can enclose any element that you consider useful in order to provide information to the surgeon on the results you want to get:
• opinion from a consultation you did in your home country (treatment plan of your dentist, opinion of another plastic surgeon)
• magazine picture (often used to show the breast shape wanted)
• results of your morphing
Please be advised that these elements are not contractual, and do not commit the surgeons on your surgery results, but help them better understand your wishes.

Surgeon(s) answers : 
You will receive an email within 7 days at the most, inviting you to check out the surgeon answer(s) in your secure Ypsée online account.
The answers will comprise the following elements:

For plastic surgery :
Agreement in Principle or Refusal (in that case, there will be an explanation)
If Agreement in Principle:
• length of stay in the clinic (number of nights)
• required convalescence stay at the hotel (number of nights)
• breakdown of the operation cost
An information brochure issued by the French Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (SOFCPRE) detailing all the risks linked to your surgery will be given to you. 

Dental surgery :

• The treatment plan (techniques and material considered for the job)
• Necessary time for the job completion (number of trips and number of nights)
• Breakdown of the operation cost

Direct contact with the surgeons

After you receive your answers, an interview via videoconference or by phone will be organized with the plastic surgeon(s) you have chosen.
Please notify on your secure online account the best time to reach you.
During this meeting, the surgeon will tell you what preliminary tests you need to take in your home country depending on the surgery type. (in most cases: blood test, mammography, echographia...). These tests will have to be given to him if needed before departure.
If this first contact was satisfactory on both sides (the choice to be operated belongs to you, as well as the choice to do the surgery or not depends also on the surgeon), the surgeon will forward you a “consent form”. This document will have to be dated and signed by you, 15 days prior to the scheduled surgery date.
The surgery date will be scheduled depending on your availability and the surgeon’s. Then you can start to plan your trip.

Welcome at the airport

The payment

 Postoperative care in the country of surgery
- During your stay at the clinic

It is obviously taken care of by the surgeon and the medical staff who monitor to ensure there are no complications.

- During your stay at the hotel

The replacement of wound-dressings will be assured by nurses who meet with you at your hotel. The check-up visits with the surgeon are organized with your local customer representative.
Upon approval by your surgeon, you will be able to add an optional recovery package, that comprises massage therapy (example: lymphatic drainage for liposuctions), thalassatherapy or balneotherapy. These last two are recommended in particular cases to get rid of the postoperative pain and accelerate your convalescence.
