More and more patients are considering medical travel as an option to have cosmetic surgery at more affordable costs. But although price is definitely a factor when considering elective cosmetic surgery such as blepharoplasty, patients seeking quality medical care at very affordable prices should know that choosing the right surgeon is the more important decision they will make. Since the choice of surgeon largely determines the success of the surgery, patients should make the surgeon’s professional qualifications and experience the main consideration in their choice to ensure the best results. When price is the primary factor for choosing a plastic surgeon, the risks of having surgery increase.
When considering medical travel, patients can be assured that there are qualified and well-trained doctors available in the Philippines. There are doctors who have had formal training in plastic and reconstructive surgery, have acquired their postgraduate or fellowship training from well-known institutions in the U.S.A. and have been mentored by leading American plastic surgeons. They speak English fluently ensuring the good communication between surgeon and patient that is essential during consultation. The Philippines’ medical services can rival the best in the world.
However, since it is legal for any licensed medical doctor to perform cosmetic surgery in the Philippines, choosing the right surgeon is essential for the patient considering having blepharoplasty in the Philippines. Since many cosmetic surgeons have not completed advanced training in plastic surgery, it is important for patients to choose a qualified plastic surgeon with the training and experience that is essential for the success of the surgery. It is recommended that the patient choose a board certified plastic surgeon. He should be certified by the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board that is recognized by the Philippine College of Surgeons to certify plastic surgeons in the Philippines.
Cost savings are significant when having cosmetic surgery such as blepharoplasty in the Philippines. For example, if the average surgeon's fee for blepharoplasty in the U.S. is $4000 to $5500, in the Philippines, for both upper and lower eyelids, a board certified surgeon can charge only $1200 (local anesthesia) to $1,600 (including anesthesiologist's fees). Lower overhead costs and professional fees make cosmetic plastic surgery very affordable and it is possible for Filipino plastic surgeons to charge a fraction of the cost of the same procedures in the United States, U.K. and other countries.
With all these advantages, it’s no wonder that many patients are traveling to the Philippines for medical services such as cosmetic plastic surgery. They come not only as patients but also as tourists who go sightseeing and shopping. Affordable airfare and hotel rates are easy to find and the internet can be the quickest way to compare rates and find the best deals and specials. Patients can combine having a vacation in a beautiful tropical country with affordable, quality elective plastic surgery.
