How we write, review, and update medical content

Patients who consider medical tourism are making a serious decision. We treat the words on this site the same way our clinical partners treat the operating room: with deliberate process, transparent sourcing, and an audit trail. This page is the public version of our internal editorial standards.

1. What this site is and isn't

Allure RT MX is a concierge medical tourism agency. We coordinate care between US and Canadian patients and our partner specialists in Tijuana, Mexico. Our website's role is to help you understand:

• What procedures are available and what they involve.
• What public market price ranges look like in Tijuana versus the United States.
• What our concierge model includes and how the trip is structured.

Nothing on this site is a substitute for a licensed clinician's opinion about your health. Every patient receives a personalized written estimate and a video or in-person consultation before any procedure is scheduled. The site is the brochure; the consultation is the diagnosis.

2. Where our facts come from

We separate three categories of claim and source each differently:

Public market data (price ranges, recovery windows, eligibility norms)

Cited from independent medical-tourism directories and clinical references such as medicaltourismco.com, placidway.com, bookimed.com, and procedure-specific resources from board organizations and academic centers (American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Mayo Clinic, ASMBS, ISHRS, ISSCR). Where we name a number on a procedure page, the source category is named in the same paragraph.

Allure-specific facts (what we offer, who we work with, how a trip is structured)

Drawn from internal coordinator records and verified case history. Anything that depends on a specific patient's situation is presented as a range or a process, not a guarantee.

Specialist credentials (board memberships, training, hospital privileges)

Verified at intake by our coordination team. Where a specialist's credentials are referenced on this site, that reference reflects current verification at the time of last review (see the per-page stamp). If a credential changes between reviews and you need an up-to-date answer, please ask during your consultation.

3. Review and update cadence

• Procedure pages (the nine specialties): reviewed at least every 12 months by the clinical coordination team and updated whenever public market pricing or our partner-clinic protocol changes meaningfully.
• Blog posts: reviewed at least every 18 months. The "Last reviewed" date on each post and the dateModified in its structured data both reflect the most recent substantive review.
• Pricing context: public market ranges are re-checked at the start of each calendar year and after any significant FX swing.
• Surgeon and specialist references: credentials re-verified before any new patient is referred to that specialist.

4. What we will not do

• We will not invent prices. Where we don't have an Allure-specific number, we cite the public Tijuana market range and frame it as orientation. Your personal estimate comes after consultation.
• We will not invent credentials. Surgeon and specialist memberships are listed only when verified at the time of last review.
• We will not assert medical efficacy claims without a citable source. If a paragraph implies an outcome, you should be able to trace the claim to a board organization, peer-reviewed paper, or named directory.
• We will not soft-pedal risk. Every procedure has risks. They are listed on the procedure page. Your consultation will go deeper into the risks that apply to you.
• We will not pressure you to book. Concierge service exists to make a calm, informed decision easier; not the other way around.

5. AI-generated content

We use AI tools as a research and drafting assistant. Every patient-facing paragraph is reviewed by a human on the Allure RT MX team before it is published. Direct quotes, prices, and clinical claims are sourced and verified by a human. AI-only output is never published unedited.

6. Editorial independence and conflicts of interest

Allure RT MX is paid by patients (concierge coordination, transport, accommodation arrangements) and through standard medical-tourism agency arrangements with our partner clinics. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. We do not let any partner pay to be reviewed favorably. If a recommendation involves a partner from whom we earn a coordination fee, that is part of the concierge model and is not concealed in the body copy.

7. How to flag a correction

If you believe any fact on this site is wrong, out of date, or unsourced, please email us at natalia@allurert.com with the URL and the specific sentence. We respond to correction requests within five business days, log every correction, and update the page's "Last reviewed" stamp.
