Searching for a locale where you can enjoy the sun and the seaside while undergoing plastic surgery? Dubai is increasingly becoming a popular among medical tourists looking for a truly remarkable vacation destination where they can also go under the knife to get affordable cosmetic surgery.
Traveling abroad for surgery offers patients plenty of privacy as they heal. And of course, there's the chance to enjoy the beach at the same time. Whether you're looking for rhinoplasty, liposuction, or any other plastic surgery, many patients are finding waking up at a five-star, beachside hotel to be a more attractive option than spending their time recuperating in their hometown, where they might be spotted by friends or coworkers.
Dubai's The National says that Dubai has joined a growing list of areas where patients flock from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. They say “Medical tourism has emerged as the cost of private healthcare in first-world countries, including the US, UK, Canada and Australia, has skyrocketed, making both cosmetic and more vital medical procedures in India, Thailand, South Africa and South America more attractive.” In Thailand, for example, a facelift normally costing around $8,000 in the US costs just $4,000.
