Cosmetic Surgery Abroad : What to consider

This Guide to Cosmetic Surgery Abroad has been provided by Dr Jesus Benito, of the Clínica Fundació Fiatc in Barcelona, on of Spain’s leading centres for cosmetic surgery.

What to consider

Undoubtedly, one of the main reasons for going abroad for cosmetic surgery is the cost saving. Prices in the UK are at a level where many people can not afford it: going abroad offers a solution. Take a look at our price comparison page for an idea of  what cosmetic surgery costs in countries such as Spain, Greece, Germany, South Africa and Croatia.

Companies offering cosmetic surgery abroad have responded to the increasing demand, and patients can opt for cosmetic surgery in relatively close countries such as Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, or Eastern Europe, or further afield in South Africa, Thailand or Argentina.

However, there are significant differences in the cost of going for cosmetic surgery in these countries. Travel costs within the Euro zone are much lower than flying to South Africa or to Eastern Europe.

Besides cost, other factors might be considered; the distance between your home and the place where the surgery will take place. Will you be fit to fly for 10 hours, one week after having a cosmetic procedure?. What are your feelings about the country and the standards of  the hospitals and surgeons? Will language be an issue?
