Danish plastic and cosmetic surgery, or "plastik og kosmetisk kirurgi", is called when used locally and is becoming more popular in the country. It is just one of the myriad performances of health and fitness driving. In the past few years, the country's witnessed economic boom has also made the affordability factor no longer a consideration. Indulgence of cosmetic beautification has attracted young people and the elderly, both men and women, have touched towns, cities and villages.
About 320,000 Danes have been attacked, in other words, 8% of the total adult population in Denmark - and these numbers are planned to increase further. The latest research shows that the number of Danes seeking cosmetic surgery is expected to increase by 20% to 30% in the next few years. Interestingly, every 17 women over the age of 17 are actively considering cosmetic surgery, and every ten women have completed cosmetic surgery. Eighty percent of Danes find the concept of cosmetic surgery completely acceptable. Currently, about 30,000 cosmetic surgery is performed every year in the country.
What is even more fascinating is that males account for a large proportion of all cosmetic surgery performed in Denmark. Every three Danes who have experienced or are considering cosmetic surgery are male. Five percent of the adult Danish male population, about 100,000 people are already under the knife, and 15% to 25% of patients in plastic and cosmetic surgery clinics are indeed male, many of whom are urban males.
The type of plastic and cosmetic surgery that produces the greatest patient interest in Denmark is related to breast treatment, eyelids, nose, liposuction, laser hair removal, abdomen and stomach, and last but not least, facial lift.
The surge in interest in cosmetic surgery is putting pressure on the Danish public health system in a number of ways: [i] the smartest plastic surgeon is breaking into private clinics, thereby reducing the pool of talent in the public sector; [ii] in private hospitals The cost of certain plastics and cosmetic surgery is still paid for by the public system - such as eyelid surgery, breast reduction and obesity surgery, and patients can easily claim that the surgery is necessary for the health function of the body, not because of any cosmetic problems. According to Danish law, all cosmetic surgery is privately funded by individuals. However, this gray area, which is necessary to explain cosmetic and physical health functions, has begun to tax the Danish public budget. Given the recent increase in interest in cosmetic surgery, this problem is bound to worsen. The Danish public health care system is likely to have to give up and refuse to pay for this gray area surgery. If this happens, it is clear that the demand for cosmetic surgery in private hospitals will increase further, so the waiting period will be the same. For example, Hamlet private hospital, one of the most famous private hospitals in Copenhagen, has tripled the cost of cosmetic surgery over the past six years. However, in some cases, the waiting period for a private hospital may be as long as two and a half months, from initial consultation to actual treatment.
Traditionally, cosmetic surgery has never fully covered health insurance, both in Denmark and in most parts of the world. Therefore, as we all know, this can be an expensive task. Plastic surgery in Denmark is expensive. Give an example of the price of several private hospitals:
[i] Eyelid surgery: ranging from 7,000 DKK to 13,000 DKK [$1,100 to $2,100]
[ii] Breast reconstruction: Surgery costs up to 65,000 Danish kroner [$10,800];
[iii] gastric liposuction: 21,500 Danish kroner [$3,500];
[iv] Laser hair removal: 12,000 Danish kroner [US$2,000]
[v] Hair transplantation: ranging from DKK 40,000 to DKK 350,000 [US$6,600 to US$58,000]
The high cost of plastic and cosmetic surgery and the considerable waiting time have led to a significant increase in medical travel to other countries, where the cost of the same treatment is lower and therefore more affordable for Danes. Popular treatment destinations include Turkey, Poland and Hungary. More and more Danes are now heading to Asia, where they can get the benefits of quality surgery at the most competitive price, and they can choose to make this trip a leisure trip. Now, given the waiting list for cosmetic surgery in Danish private hospitals, it is natural for Danes to continue to travel abroad.
India may be the next destination for Danish medical tourists. For foreigners, India's medical expenses are the cheapest, if not the most competitive, in the world. In Asia, it even surpasses the cost advantages of Thailand and Singapore. The quality of treatment is world-class, second to none, and if not superior, treatment is available in the United States and the United Kingdom. In 2002, the number of foreign patients who went to India for treatment was 150,000. In 2005, the same number was close to 500,000. The journey to India for treatment is gaining momentum - India is a fast-growing tourist centre that offers a splendid cultural richness through the natural beauty of India. The patient is now able to take the trip to India for medical treatment and spend a full-fledged holiday.
