A Guide To Cosmetic Surgery Abroad
This Guide to Cosmetic Surgery Abroad has been provided by Dr Jesus Benito, of the USP Dexeus Universitary Institute in Barcelona, one of Spain’s leading centres for cosmetic surgery.
Going abroad for cosmetic surgery is becoming a popular option for people in the UK nowadays, despite concerns about overseas cosmetic surgery which have been raised by various representatives of the Plastic Surgery profession in the UK.
One of the areas of concern is aftercare. However, there would be little difference between a patient living in the North of Scotland who decides to go to London for surgery or a patient living in the UK who decides to go to another country, 2 hours flight from the UK. In both cases, the surgeon will be far from the patient’s home if a problem arises.
All patients are concerned and anxious before a cosmetic procedure (which is, by nature, an elective surgical procedure). Even at home, it is normal to have some doubts about the surgeon or the clinic. Going abroad raises more concerns about safety, the surgeon, the care and so on.
The more information you can get in advance, the more confident you will be when you travel for surgery.
