BienPoMD Aesthetics
Balikbayan Priority Program
We help overseas patients prepare their travel dates, laboratory requirements, consultation, treatment planning, recovery, follow-ups, and return trip so their limited time in the Philippines can be used more efficiently.
How Balikbayan Priority Works
We understand that overseas patients often have a limited vacation in the Philippines. The program helps coordinate consultation, medical requirements, and treatment planning efficiently while maintaining patient safety.
Our team will do its best to optimize your schedule within your available stay.
Important
Scheduling remains subject to completed tests, medical clearance when indicated, an in-person consultation and physical assessment by Dr. Bien Po, medical suitability, and surgeon and facility availability.
How to Prepare
Early preparation may improve scheduling efficiency. It does not guarantee a surgery date.
Our Clinical Standard
A cosmetic surgery consultation is more than discussing photographs over a video call.
Proper planning may require in-person assessment of facial or body proportions, skin quality and elasticity, tissue thickness, soft-tissue movement, scars, previous procedures, underlying structures, symmetry, functional concerns, and overall medical suitability.
Photographs and video calls may help with general information, but they cannot replace a physical examination.
Three-Stage Patient Journey
Each stage protects time for proper evaluation, safe treatment planning, and recovery.
Explore procedures, prepare records, complete requested tests when appropriate, submit travel dates, and contact the clinic for general planning help.
Start Pre-Planning →Your formal assessment begins: consultation, physical examination, history and laboratory review, suitability, expectations, and treatment planning.
The procedure date is finalized only after evaluation and remains subject to availability.Allow time for initial recovery, follow-up, suture removal when applicable, return-to-work planning, and travel-clearance assessment.
Prepare Your Laboratory Tests Before Arrival
Completing requested tests before arrival may help us review requirements earlier. Results must still be reviewed; added, repeated, or clearance tests may be required.

Eligible patients may receive priority consultation booking and surgery consideration after all requirements and the required in-person consultation are completed.
Patient safety, appropriate medical assessment, and individualized planning take priority over scheduling convenience.
Vacation & Recovery Planning
Leave flexibility for testing, follow-up, visible recovery, schedule changes, and long-haul travel.
Fitness to travel depends on the procedure, recovery, postoperative findings, risk factors, complications, and final physician assessment. Treat any timeframe as an estimated travel planning window.
Do not book a non-refundable return flight based solely on an estimated recovery period.
Timing differs for desk or remote work, public-facing work, light physical work, and heavy physical work. Medical recovery and socially acceptable downtime are not always the same.
Allow extra flexibility whenever possible.
Overseas Patient FAQ
General planning guidance only; final recommendations follow an in-person assessment.
We can help with pre-planning and priority coordination, but the procedure schedule is finalized only after the required in-person consultation, medical and laboratory review, and confirmation of availability.
A video call cannot fully assess tissue quality, elasticity, anatomy, scars, movement, and other findings that may affect planning. BienPoMD requires an in-person consultation before surgery.
Photos may help the clinic understand your general concern for planning, but they do not replace an in-person medical assessment.
When appropriate, you may complete requested tests before arrival. Results remain subject to review, and added or repeat testing may be requested.
No. Advance preparation may improve efficiency, but scheduling remains subject to consultation, medical clearance when required, and availability.
Eligible patients may receive priority consultation scheduling and priority surgery consideration because of their limited stay. All requirements, medical suitability, and availability still apply.
This depends on the procedure and individual recovery. Allow time for consultation, possible testing, the procedure, early recovery, follow-up, and travel clearance when required.
Travel timing depends on the procedure and recovery. Final fitness to travel depends on postoperative assessment and should not be assumed before surgery.
Not always. Timing depends on the procedure, work demands, recovery, and whether visible swelling or bruising matters for your job.
