UK-based Treatment Abroad has released a new and independent guide for people intending to travel overseas for cosmetic surgery.
Called Treatment Abroad for Cosmetic Surgery Abroad, the guide is the first of its kind in the UK and aims to help people to make a more informed decision by explaining both the potential advantages (including savings) – and the risks of cosmetic surgery abroad.
The guide sets out in easy-to-understand language everything patients need to consider before going overseas for cosmetic treatment, including checklists of questions to consider or ask your prospective surgeon.
The guide covers important topics such as: Which are the top destinations for cosmetic surgery?; how do I compare countries, clinics and surgeons?; how do I compare the costs in different countries and currencies?; how is cosmetic surgery abroad regulated and what happens with aftercare and/or if something goes wrong when I get home?
The guide also considers topical issues such as the recent UK PIP implant scandal and the need to understand issues such as the provenance of any implant or medical device used.
The guide has been written by Treatment Abroad, including by the UK expert on medical tourism, Keith Pollard, who has worked in the sector for many years and regularly speaks at medical tourism conferences around the world. The guide is impartial and aims to give a fair assessment of the pros and cons involved in travelling to another country for treatment.
