Yes, Dr. Siegel puts a video camera down the throat when doing trachea shave. It ensures that the vocal cords are not damaged.
Marbella, Spain is a tourist mecca for Europeans so English is commonly spoken there. In all my interchanges with the Facial Team, I never once noted a difficulty with English.
BTW, the least expensive FFS quote I got, even considering travel cost, was from Dr. MDM (Macelo Di Maggio) in Buenas Aires. I think it's because of the favorable peso/dollar exchange rate right now. Dr. MDM has a fine reputation, too. What's more, he has a 2 step surgery package to do FFS+Face & Neck Lift in two steps separate for 7 to 10 days all in one trip. That is very tempting. He does a cephalogram x-ray before surgery as well.
On the negative side (from my perspective), MDM is awfully far away (14 hrs vs. 7 for Spain and 2.5 for Boston), they provide an interpreter for you because almost no one speaks English fluently, and, interestingly, Dr. MDM removes the mucous lining of the frontal sinus wall before resetting. He does this because he resets the frontal bone without titanium plates and screws by mixing bone burrings with a bone adhesive and basically glues it in place. No one else does it this way that I'm aware. I'm not sure if that is a good idea or not.
