An Overview of Plastic Surgery in India

In India, plastic surgery can be performed at 50% to 90% of the cost in western countries.  The quality of services provided by plastic surgeons in India is equally as high as in the developed countries and hospitals and clinics are internationally accredited.

Plastic surgery used to be the domain of wealthy people and movie stars. However, average citizens are also now deciding to do something about parts of their bodies that do not make them happy.  They too deserve to have features distorted by disease or accident fixed, or to have something more attractive than what they were given at birth.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), 1,555,614 plastic surgery procedures were performed in the United States in 2010.  This indicates that the plastic surgery market is in high demand.  No doubt advances in medical technology have made it possible to have procedures done more easily and cheaply.  However, in western countries like the United States it is still very expensive and not available to the vast majority of people who would like to get it done.

The surgeons, clinics and hospitals in India are state-of-the-art. The reason fees are so much less expensive than in the western world is that the cost of living in India is much lower.  Doctors, medical staff, hospitals and the medical tourism industry are able to pass those costs on to patients and provide them with services that are easier on the budget.

Different Plastic Surgeries Procedures in India
Every possible procedure is available. Major procedures such as breast augmentation, breast implant removals, nose job, tummy tuck, vaginal rejuvenation and many others are regularly done. Minor procedures such as chemical peel, laser hair removal or soft tissue fillers are also done.  Sex reassignment surgery is possible too.

Getting Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery in India
The best advice is to do all the possible research on what medical tourists must know before travelling to any foreign country for medical care. Ask what guarantees can the surgeon and clinic provide, and what avenues of compensation there are if the service is not satisfactory.

Much of this can be handled by a medical tourism agency that is specialized in knowing the accredited doctors and clinics with the highest reputation.  A medical tourist agency can do all the hard work of arranging the medical details and making all travel and hotel arrangements. 

The agency can also arrange vacation, sight seeing and visits to attractions if the medical tourist wants time to relax before or after the procedure.  This is an excellent chance to combine getting a new beautiful body and travel to an exotic ancient country at a cost that is cheaper than staying home.
