Cosmetic Surgery Abroad: Reasons and Benefits



Choosing cosmetic surgery abroad (like medical travel on the whole) has become an extremely popular trend. People seek out cosmetic surgery abroad for various reasons. In some regions, such as the third-world countries, it is difficult to come by the necessary facilities; in other countries, such as the UK, Australia and Canada, people head overseas for medical treatment because they are tired of long waiting lists to receive the needed procedures in their home country.

The development of medical tourism has been largely influenced by the fact that plastic surgery costs differ notably. Naturally, people living in the countries where plastic surgery costs are higher than somewhere abroad, will go abroad. It may be very advantageous because the sum of money left from the difference in prices can cover additional expenses such as for transportation, accommodation and leisure.

Prices for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery (speaking about accredited surgeon’s offices, accredited surgery clinics, accredited hospitals and surgery centres) depend on the type of procedure, region and clinic. It has been estimated that prices for cosmetic surgery are about 20 to 30 percent lower in Western Europe than in the USA. Meanwhile plastic surgery costs in Eastern European countries are yet lower when compared to the same procedures in the USA, the price difference being about 40 to 70 percent.

Popular medical travel destinations are Brunei, Colombia, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Israel, Jordan, Lithuania, Singapore, Thailand, etc. Among the most attractive cosmetic surgery travel destinations are Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Turkey.

People who anyway are planning to travel to one of these countries have an opportunity to combine the excitement offered by travel and changes in their appearance and life. Many clinics offer packages which include personal assistants, trips to top beauty salons, post-operative care in luxury hotels, tours or other vacation incentives. Having in mind favourable currency rates, the deal is really attractive.
