All about Getting Plastic Surgery Abroad

All about Getting Plastic Surgery Abroad
The United States is well-known for its state-of-the-art
medical care, including plastic (or cosmetic) surgery. This
being the case, why are so many people choosing to obtain
their plastic surgery abroad?

The answer, typically, comes down to the "almighty dollar."
Plastic surgery abroad is often much less expensive than if
it were to be performed at a medical facility within the
United States.

Since, in the US, "money talks," the insurance companies
and the Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) either will
not cover elective plastic surgery at all, or else will
charge the patient an extraordinarily large deductable fee.

Of course there are exceptions to this problem. In many
cases, a patient need not seek plastic surgery abroad at a
less expensive cost if the reason for the surgery is
medically necessary rather than elective.

For example, a child born with a cleft palate or a
seriously injured burn patient will require extensive
plastic, or reconstructive, surgery in order to achieve a
more "normal" appearance and emotional healing. Insurance
companies and HMOs will cover the cost of these surgeries
since they are considered medically necessary.

Conversely, procedures such as liposuction, breast
augmentation, face lifts, rhinoplasty and other surgeries
that are performed for the sole purpose of enhancing one's
appearance are rarely, if ever, covered by HMOs and
insurance companies.

Thus, an increasing number of Americans are seeking plastic
surgery abroad. Even if the patient must personally pay for
the procedure, it is much less costly than it would be in
the United States.

This is most often because of the low cost of living in
other countries, meaning that wages for top-quality
physicians and registered nurses are lower. Having plastic
surgery abroad passes these savings along to you.
Procedures in the United States are more expensive because
our cost of living so is very high.

What about standards of care? If you decide to obtain your
plastic surgery abroad, the price of the procedure will be
less, but will the quality of your surgery and
post-surgical care be as great as in the United States?

Whatever medical facility you choose, look for a surgical
staff whose credentials state "Board Certified F.R.C.S."
(Fellow, Royal College of Surgeons) if the surgeon was
trained in the UK, Australia or New Zealand.

When you have plastic surgery abroad at a qualified medical
facility, you can be assured that you will receive the
finest standard of care globally available, both in your
surgical procedure and your post-surgical care.
