Back to towns in A Guide to Travel Advice and Tips
Looking for an extreme makeover or just a little Nip/Tuck?
Are you aware of the growing trend of medical tourism? If not,
consider this, have the vacation adventure of a lifetime in an
exotic country, with sun, sea and pristine white beaches. Your
personal assistant awaits you at the airport, accompanied by
car and driver. You are whisked away to a luxury beach hotel
where you are warmly greeted and everything has been made “just
right” for your arrival. Sound great so far? Now add world class
plastic surgery. Got your interest?
The kicker, the price tag! This “lifestyles of the rich and
famous” treatment will run you half the cost of staying home
and having just the surgery. Yes, you heard right half the cost
of staying home and having just the surgery! Imagine all this
and medical treatment or plastic surgery performed by some of
most qualified surgeons in the world. No wonder hundreds of
thousands of people annually are exploring the advantages of
medical tourism.
A well-known Dallas socialite who travels every year to have "a
little work done" said "Why in the world would I pay double the
money for half the quality?" That's a good question. She went
further adding, “I could never afford the top surgeon in
Dallas, but abroad I can, and would I really want to trust my
face or body to my second choice because my wallet couldn’t
stretch far enough?
Plastic surgery and medical tourism trends continue to grow
every year. Medical tourism is expected to be a global $2
billion dollar market by 2012. Countries where medical tourism
is being actively promoted include South Africa, India,
Malaysia, Philippines Singapore and South America. The latter,
South America is known for being home to arguably the best
plastic surgeons in the world.
There is no end in sight for the worldwide growth of medical
tourism, in fact, Malaysian Airlines recently announced their
plans to become the first airline to book medical holidays
direct from their travel agents and ticket counters. The giant
tour operator Thomas Cook has also announced plans to market
medical holidays in the near future.
The worldwide demand for plastic surgery rises every year and
as more individuals who desire a “Nip/Tuck” realize they can
afford VIP treatment with a top surgeon in another country
they’re packing their bags and heading to the airport.
