Plastic Surgery Abroad: Medical Tourism
Undergoing plastic surgery abroad belongs to a phenomenon that has more and more success: medical tourism.
Medical tourism is about taking advantage of the lower cost of living in a country to perform cheap medical procedures. This is the case for example for breast implants or face lift.
Tunisia is one of the countries that offer more and more this type of care. Thousands of European patients are flying to Tunisia to undergo cosmetic surgery because it offers attractive prices since they align their costs with the cost of living in the country.
However, you must know which agency to contact and you have to be more vigilant because many Cosmetic agencies abroad don’t ensure medical complications.
Advantages of Plastic surgery in Tunisia
When you decide to undergo your plastic surgery abroad:
You have the opportunity to choose your cosmetic surgeon, to see him in person, to easily check his qualifications, to question him all the things you want to know, to ask to see before/after of former patients.
The surgeon will give you complete information about the intervention, its risks as well as its possible complications. For example, if you smoke, he will remind you that you should stop smoking at least 15 days before the intervention for better healing. The surgeon will also examine carefully the future operated area.
Your cosmetic surgeon will also provide post-operative care. This is probably the most important point because once the surgery is done, there is the postoperative care (Like how to deal with the swelling, bruises, and pain).
It is also important to ensure that the result is well achieved, that the scar improves favourably, and that there is no particular complication. If it is necessary to retouch or to see a scar, the surgeon will do the act more often without asking for additional fees.
You can see the clinic where you will be operated. Although in Tunisia, there are no real worries about the safety of health equipment. It’s even one of the big strengths of the country. All our partner clinics have an activity in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery have been approved by the Ministry of Public Health in Tunisia to practice this activity in the optimal conditions of safety (qualification of the nursing staff, the safety of the patient in the operating room, traceability of products and materials used in the intervention, etc…).
Last but not least, by undergoing your plastic surgery abroad, you will economize thousands of Euros. All the agency services costs will not exceed 20% of the total cost of the same surgery if you were to undergo it in Europe.
It is not uncommon to find prices up to 50% lower than in the UK, including an exotic holiday! For example, liposuction costs on average 2,000 to 4,000 € in the UK, against 1,000 to 2,000 € in Tunisia!
Cheaper does not mean lower quality treatment. The medical services offered abroad are cheaper because the charges are lower.
In addition to its cheap price, undergoing your plastic surgery abroad allows you to benefit from calm and pleasant holidays.
