Plastic Surgery Review INTERNATIONAL

With the rapidly growing popularity and variety of cosmetic procedures being practiced around the world, more and more consumers are considering “cosmetic tourism”. They can choose among a wide range of surgeons and facilities, with some even offering low-cost cosmetic tourism packages in exotic locales.

Although statistics are not available on the number of patients who have taken cosmetic surgery vacations - the majority of patients do not solely seek minimally-invasive procedures. Common procedures requested include breast augmentation, liposuction, facelift, tummy tucks, eyelid surgery, and nose reshaping.

Sun, Sand and Surgery!

Cosmetic surgery tourism is a price-driven phenomenon that has experienced increased growth over the past decade. Numerous companies offering all-inclusive vacation packages that include cosmetic surgery are popping up all over the world and can be easily located via the Internet. The offers generally include private hospital services and a “highly trained” and “credentialed” medical staff. Since elective cosmetic surgery procedures are not covered by insurance, price is the major selling point of cosmetic surgery tourism, with entire vacation/surgical packages costing less than individual procedures in the United States.
