Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation often referred to as augmentation mammoplasty or “boob job” is the world’s most popular cosmetic surgery procedure. The procedure involves placing breast implants or fat transfer to enhance the size and appearance of breasts. Implants are also used for reconstructive breast surgery after mastectomy or any injury.
Cosmetic surgery tourism, a sub-niche of medical tourism, is driven by people seeking breast augmentation beyond the borders. Medical tourism advisors get a lot of inquiries about the breast augmentation procedure. Breast augmentation can restore the lost breast size from weight loss or pregnancy and help in achieving the desired shape and natural breast symmetry. The procedure of transferring fat from another part of the patient’s body to increase the breast volume is known as fat transfer breast augmentation. Turkey, Thailand, Croatia, and the UK are some of the destinations well known for breast augmentation procedures.

Breast Reconstruction
This is a total reconstructive process of either one or two breasts to give a normal shape and size, especially after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or other congenital deformities. It involves a series of processes that can start during mastectomy or be done later. This procedure falls under two categories- implant-based reconstruction and flap reconstruction. You can see a medical tourism consultant or a facilitator to know more about the differences between breast reconstruction and breast augmentation.
In implant-based reconstruction, an implant is used to form a new breast while the flap or autologous reconstruction is done by taking fat from other parts of the body. The surgeon should consider several factors while choosing the right procedure like the nature of mastectomy done on the patient, ongoing cancer treatments, and the patient’s physique. If one breast needs constructive surgery, the surgeon may recommend breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction for the other breast to bring symmetry.

Breast Lift
Breast Lift, also known as Mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery to lift and reshape your breast giving it a firmer look. It may also involve removing extra skin surrounding the breast and reducing the size of the areola, the dark part around your nipples. Those with sagging breasts caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or sudden weight changes opt for this procedure. According to experienced medical tourism advisors, it is also one of the sought-after cosmetic surgeries in medical tourism.
A surgeon applies different techniques to give the desired shape and appearance. A cut is made around the areola that extends down the breast. The operation may need several cuts. You may feel soreness in your breasts for 2 weeks. It may take 2-12 months for the breasts to get into a final shape.

Liposuction
Liposuction is another popular procedure in cosmetic tourism where pockets of stubborn fat are removed from different parts of the body like hips, abdomen, buttocks, thighs, neck, or arms. Individuals opt for this procedure when diet and workouts no longer work to reduce fat. This is an invasive procedure that needs cutting, resizing, stitching, and anesthetizing to create the desired body contour.
Your surgeon may choose from tumescent liposuction (the most common procedure), Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL), Laser-Assisted Liposuction (LAL), and Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL). The patient is given local anesthesia or general anesthesia based on the technique chosen. Liposuction could be a solo procedure or done along with a facelift, breast reduction, or tummy tuck. However, liposuction is not a remedy for obesity or a substitute for exercise and diet. A medical tourism advisor can offer you suitable guidance on this. This cosmetic surgery is available in almost all popular medical tourism destinations in the world.

Cool Sculpting
Cool sculpting, also known as Cry lipolysis, is an FDA-approved non-invasive cosmetic treatment popular in medical tourism that helps in removing stubborn fat. The process freezes the fat cells and breaks them through the process. It does not involve any cut or anesthesia or any mechanical device implantation. The process is less risky than liposuction but not without any side effects. The surgeon cools the fat cells of a particular area with an applicator making the site feel numb.
The procedure may take around 35-60 minutes depending on the area and volume of fat. The recovery is fast since there is no injury to the skin tissue. After the procedure, fat cells may take 4-6 months to leave your body decreasing the area by 20%. The success rate and customer satisfaction in Cool Sculpting are much higher. The process destroys fat cells and the effects can last for 6-9 years through proper food and lifestyle management.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery popular among medical tourists. The process involves enhancing the appearance of the eyes by removing loose skin and excess fat from the eyelids. Drooping eyelids, eye bags, wrinkles, and other aging effects on eyelids can be rectified with Blepharoplasty. For upper eyelid rectification, the surgeon will make a cut along the eyelid fold and remove excess skin and fat. In the case of lower eyelids, the cut will be just below the eyelid crease or inside the lower lid. After removing fat and excess skin, the surgeon will close the wound. It is a same-day discharge procedure. You may experience blurred vision, watery eyes, light sensitivity, double vision, mild pain or discomfort, numbing, swelling, or bruising for a few days. You can reach out to a medical tourism advisor for more details.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
Abdominoplasty or Tummy Tuck is a highly sought-after cosmetic surgery in medical tourism. In this procedure, a surgeon removes excess fat from the abdomen and tightens the surrounding muscles to give it a flat appearance. Inquiries for abdominoplasty are common with medical tourism advisors and facilitators. A tummy tuck should not be confused with liposuction although your surgeon may include this procedure as a part of the tummy tuck. Those with loose abdomen muscles and fat especially after pregnancy or drastic weight loss can go for this cosmetic surgery. Complete abdominoplasty, partial or mini-abdominoplasty, and circumferential abdominoplasty are three types of procedures followed. The outcome of this surgery is highly satisfying in most cases although people may have to bear with pain, discomfort, and cautious movements for some days. This is a normal part of healing. It may take months to get back to your normal self.
Gynecomastia
Gynecomastia or male breast reduction surgery is one of the known cosmetic surgeries preferred by men with enlarged breasts. This happens when excess breast tissue gets accumulated that you cannot get rid of through exercises or other weight-loss strategies. An excess fat build-up in breasts due to obesity leads to another condition called pseudo gynecomastia. Gynecomastia involves two techniques- Liposuction and Excision. Liposuction is done when this condition arises due to excessive fatty tissue. The excision technique is followed when there is a need to remove glandular breast tissue and skin. Sometimes both techniques are applied based on the condition to be treated. The normal recovery period is 6 weeks with rare occurrences of complications. If you need details of medical tourism options for this procedure, reach out to a reliable medical tourism advisor.
Brow Lift
The brow lift, also known as a forehead lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure to reduce wrinkles and frown lines on the forehead and give proper shape to eyebrows for a youthful look. Often with aging, the eyebrows become sagging creating a hood over the upper eyelids. This surgical procedure positions it properly on the forehead. This procedure is often combined with blepharoplasty, facelift, and skin resurfacing techniques. Three different techniques are used based on the desired outcomes.
Endoscopic brow lift where small incisions are made behind the hairline, coronal brow lift where an incision is made behind the hairline on top of the head, and hairline brow lift where the surgeon makes an incision between the start of the hairline and top of the forehead. After the procedure, your forehead will be wrapped loosely to minimize swelling. The wound will heal within 10-14 days but complete healing will take a few weeks.
Facelift
Facelift, medically termed as Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing visible signs of aging from the face and neck. Sagging skin, folding lines, jowls in cheeks and jaw, loose skin in the neck, and double chin can be minimized with this cosmetic surgery procedure. This procedure is quite common in aesthetic tourism.
Three types of facelift are done – Mini-facelift that repairs loose skin on the neck and jawline, Mid-facelift known as cheek lift that targets sagging skin from the upper mouth to the eyes, and nonsurgical facelift that doesn’t need any cuts and stitches but still rectifies aging signs and sagging skin, wrinkles, and creases.
A traditional facelift means incisions at the hairline extending towards the ears and lower scalp. The fat either is sculpted or redistributed to give a firm appearance and the loose skin is cut off. It may take 2-4 weeks for complete recovery.
Neck Lift
This surgical procedure also known as lower Rhytidectomy helps in improving the visible aging signs of the neck and jawline. This cosmetic surgery removes the loose skin and excess fat from cheek jowls and brings back the normal face and neck contour. To match the facial appearance, this procedure can be a good solution. The entire recovery process may take a few weeks or several months.
The swelling will gradually reduce and you will be able to feel the effects. Non-surgical neck lift procedures can also be done which are less risky and less expensive and the recovery is fast. fractionated laser treatment, fillers, Kybella, Ultherapy, and microneedling are done in non-surgical procedures.
Otoplasty
Abnormally long ears, ears sticking out from the head, or deformed ears badly impact your looks. You may consider this cosmetic surgery to rectify this problem. The surgery is done on the pinna to reshape and reposition it perfectly. An incision is done behind the ear and the surgeon may remove some cartilage to resize the pinna. The procedure takes 1-2 hours. The incision scar will be there for some time and fade away gradually.
Incisionless Otoplasty is also possible where a needle is inserted into the cartilage to improve its flexibility.
The surgeon will also make a few stitches to reshape the ear. However, this procedure cannot be done universally as some people may need removal of extra cartilage. Surgery-related soreness and numbing reduce within a few days. It may take several weeks for the effects to be prominent.
Brazillian Butt Lift
Brazillian Butt Lift is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in medical tourism. The procedure involves the transfer of fat from one part of the body (mainly through liposuction) to the butts to give it a fuller and contoured size. The patient may be fully or partly anesthetized depending on the volume of fat transfer.
The butt lift surgery is more popular as it gives a fuller and natural look unlike other forms of surgery that needs silicone implants. The risk of infection is also low in Brazillian Butt lift surgery. You will need extra post-surgery care as you won’t be allowed to sit on your butt for two weeks or so. The buttocks may remain swollen for a few weeks.
Although it is a popular cosmetic surgery, it may not be suitable for everyone. Make sure to get an expert consultation before deciding about this treatment.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are gel-like cosmetic materials injected into the skin to remove wrinkles, creases, and lines to give you a youthful look. These fillers normally constitute of Hyaluronic Acid, Poly-L-Lactic Acid, Calcium Hydroxylapatite, Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and autologous fat injections. It is tough to choose the right dermal filler as there are countless varieties available in the market. This is a minimally invasive procedure where the cosmetologist will inject a specific volume of fillers into the area that needs to be rectified. The downtime is very low. Mild soreness and bruising may persist for 1-2 days. You can return to normal activities within a day or two but your cosmetologist may advise you to take a full day off after the procedure.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure where lasers are used to improve skin tone and appearance. This cosmetic treatment is also highly demanded in medical tourism. Based on your needs, the dermatologist will suggest ablative or non-ablative lasers. Ablative lasers are those using carbon-di-oxide or Erbium. The former is used to remove scars, deep wrinkles, and warts while the latter is used to treat fine lines, and wrinkles and make other superficial skin corrections. Non-ablative lasers do not remove any skin layer and are effective in cases of spider veins, acne scars, and Rosacea. Laser skin resurfacing needs some pre-skin conditioning before lasers are applied. The recovery may take 3-10 days, the deeper the skin resurfacing process, the longer will be the recovery time. Your health insurance may not cover this cosmetic procedure. You can reach out to medical tourism advisors and facilitators for less expensive options outside your home country.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a hi-tech cosmetic treatment where concentrated light technology is used to remove unwanted hair from the body and prevent further regrowth. Concentrated laser beams target the hair follicles that get instantly absorbed and vaporize the hair.
The hair pigment plays a vital role in absorption, so the darker the hair more effective the procedure. Those with dark hair and light skin are the best candidates for this treatment. People with dark skin need a special type of laser to successfully detect the hair. Those with blonde, gray, or white hair will not benefit from this treatment.
This popular non-invasive cosmetic surgery treatment in medical tourism requires minimal recovery time and you can get back to your normal activities right after the treatment. After the first treatment, you can expect a 10-25 percent reduction in hair growth. Typically, one needs 3-8 sessions for permanent hair removal.

Microdermabrasion
Those looking to renew skin texture and tone, microdermabrasion will be the right cosmetic treatment. This is a minimally invasive procedure to reduce sun tan, wrinkles, aging spots, fine lines, acne scars, melasma, and other skin conditions.
A special applicator fitted with an abrasive is gently rubbed on the skin surface that slowly removes the outer layer of the skin giving it a rejuvenated look. In a different technique, fine dust of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate is sprayed over the skin and a similar abrasion is done with a suction.
Crystal microdermabrasion and hydra-dermabrasion are other techniques. No such pre-treatment preparation is needed but a prior skin consultation will help. The procedure takes an hour and you can resume your normal activities right after the procedure. You will notice the outcome almost immediately. Some individuals may need several microdermabrasion sessions based on the severity of the skin condition.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are used to remove the damaged outer layer of the skin to bring up the healthier skin from beneath.
This cosmetic treatment popular in medical tourism is effective in treating wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, scars, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, melasma, and uneven skin tones. Peels can be light, medium, and deep depending on your requirements. Chemical solutions like alpha-hydroxy acid, trichloroacetic acid, glycolic acid, and phenols are used for different types of peel.
Chemical peeling is mainly an in-office procedure but deep peels are done in an outpatient surgical setup. The procedure takes 30 mins or more. A pre-treatment consultation with the skin specialist is important to know the dos and don’ts. Recovery time for a light chemical peel is about 4-7 days and for deep chemical peel is about two weeks.
