International patients typically follow this timeline: virtual consultation 2-4 weeks before travel, arrival in Lima 1-2 days pre-surgery, the procedure itself, 7-10 days of local recovery with follow-up visits, and remote monitoring after returning home. Lima's Miraflores district offers excellent accommodation options perfect for comfortable recovery.
