Medical Tourism
Medical Tourism may seem like a cost effective way to combine cosmetic surgery and a “holiday”. There are many concerns patients must consider when contemplating medical tourism.
- It is often in countries with less regulation and therefore less patient safety.
- The surgical facilities do not meet the standards of the facilities used by CSAPS members.
- The surgeon will be less qualified than a CSAPS member.
- The decision for surgery should be in person, unrushed and complete.
- Internet consultations are inadequate and potentially unsafe.
- Patients need to have a relationship with their surgeon and trust their surgeon.
- Immediate short term and long term follow up is critical for optimal outcome – this is not possible with medical tourism.
- Many CSAPS surgeons have seen patients with complications after medical tourism.
- If you have a complication after medical tourism, you will need to travel to that location for corrective surgery.
- There are complications associated with long air travel soon after elective surgical procedures.
