Medical tourism has boomed over the last 2 decades. Prices for cosmetic procedures have increased in the United States and Europe quite considerably. Many developing countries now have excellent health services and are a viable and cheaper option for your operation.
What Affects Liposuction Costs?
There are 3 main factors in the price.
1. The Plastic Surgeon - If your surgeon is well trained and qualified he or she is likely to charge more. Each country trains their surgeons differently so do a bit of research. If they are experienced they may charge more as well.
2. Amount and place of surgery - You may just need a small area to be treated or several at the same time. This will directly affect the price. Is the surgery in the surgeons' office, day care centre or hospital?
3. Areas treated - the typical areas for liposuction are abdomen, back, knees and thighs. Each is one area and prices increase as more areas are treated. Interestingly male fat is tougher than female, which increases the cost for men.
