When people travel to other countries to seek health care, the rapid growth of medical tourism is greatly affected by cost factors - the price of medical procedures may be two to ten times lower than the price of foreign countries. Consumers in developed countries have found that in some developing countries they can get high quality treatments cheaper. As the demand for plastic surgery procedures continues to increase, many people also travel abroad for plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery.
For many people, the idea of a full cosmetic surgery, not to mention going abroad, can be frightening. However, a recent study conducted by Mintel in the UK showed that 690,000 cosmetic surgery was performed on British adults in 2006 alone. But the prices charged by UK clinics are high, so the British seem to be increasingly looking for better deals.
According to a recent survey conducted by "Cosmetic Surgery Answers", 70% of British citizens will travel to Europe for cosmetic surgery, and 17% will choose Eastern Europe.
One of the countries representing Eastern Europe is Lithuania. The Lithuanian Plastic Surgery Clinic [almost all established in the capital Vilnius and the second largest city of Kaunas] has the most advanced equipment to fully meet the needs of Westerners. need. Surgeons' gained experience abroad and years of surgical practice at home have helped thousands of patients improve their appearance and confidence. Last but not least, British residents and people in other European countries can perform cosmetic surgery at twice the price.
In Lithuania, the British can perform cosmetic surgery at a price 2-3 times lower than in the UK. Renovation can cost around £4,000 in the UK and £1,800 in Lithuania. Ear surgery costs about £2,000; in Lithuania, it costs £700. In the UK, Tummy-tuck surgery costs about £3,500 and Lithuania costs £1,700.
Foreigners who have undergone plastic surgery in Lithuania seem to be satisfied with their choices in all aspects. A few years ago, Robert Wilson from the United Kingdom underwent plastic surgery in Kaunas.
"When I came here from the UK, I was not entirely sure what would happen. But I was impressed with the level of courtesy from the first moment I met at Vilnius Airport until post-operative care and rehabilitation. The medical staff showed professionalism and expertise," he said. "I am very satisfied with the early results of the operation. Lithuania itself is great - Vilnius and Kaunas are beautiful, pleasant cities. Modern, well equipped , spacious - & there, the staff is also very pleasant and polite. I may support such travel for anyone from a medical and tourist perspective at a very reasonable price."
