Plastic surgery is becoming increasingly popular amongst men and women to improve their appearances, but with very few procedures being carried out by the NHS and without health insurance, people must pay large sums of money to have the work done.
Therefore, many people are opting to travel abroad for plastic surgery in an effort to reduce costs, and some companies offer Surgery/Holiday packages, which include flights, accommodation and after-care services for a fixed price.
In the UK, liposuction costs an average of £3,000, including hospital and doctors’ fees, whereas it can be as little as £517 in Brazil, according to the Treatment Abroad Price Watch Survey 2008. (1)
This is a saving of 83%, but doesn’t include the extra costs that traveling abroad ensues, such as flights and accommodation, and there is no guarantee that hospital facilities will be of high quality.
Breast implants cost around £4,350 in Britain, and a mere £713 in Cuba.According to Treatment Abroad
People wanting to ensure that their surgery abroad is safe are consequently opting to travel with companies such as Gorgeous Getaways and Cosmetic Surgery Holidays.co.uk, which offer surgery packages in countries such as Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
Liposuction to the abdomen, hips and thighs costs £2,707 with Gorgeous Getaways, which includes ten nights stay in a five-star accommodation in Sri Lanka, after-care services and transfers to the airport and hospitals.
Gorgeous Getaways claim to have a 99% satisfaction rating, but Beauty Treatment Experts (2) warn against getting plastic surgery abroad, as not all results are positive, and surgery can sometimes lead to infections, scarring and bruising.
