Cosmetic Surgery Overseas?

When we're talking about a cheap, overseas procedure, we're talking about you visiting a developing nation that doesn't have the same medical standards or expectations that the developed countries have such as Australia or the United States. This is where you can get a cheaper cosmetic procedure done, and because people see the nation as being "developing" instead of "developed," they associate a similar procedure being done, but for less of a cost because their monetary unit is worth less than ours.
The simple truth is that the money you save on a cheap cosmetic procedure that you get overseas will likely be offset by the cost of needing to have a doctor here at home correct the damage that occurs. With different standards of medicine, one of the biggest risks that patients face during an overseas procedure is an infection. If too much botox was used, well then... your overseas doctor wishes you the best of luck with your new face. One of the primary reasons beyond cost that people choose to pursue the medical tourism industry and go overseas for a cosmetic procedure is that people won't know who they are. What if you have an allergy to penicillin? What is you have something in your medical file here at home that is preventing your doctor from performing the cosmetic procedure you want? Doctors overseas are notorious for not taking any medical history questions, or even caring about what has happened to you from a health perspective. The medical tourism industry is a $35 million industry - and that is also about the same amount of money that is spent by people correcting faulty surgeries done by overseas doctors.
Don't get stuck trying to fix a cheap doctor's mistake - in Australia, we're privilege to have the best in cosmetic surgery care before, during, and after any procedure. Our patients always hold the utmost importance, and that shows in the quality of care that you receive... even if it does cost a little bit more.
