People seeking cosmetic surgery abroad tend to focus mainly on low prices, cost saving being the only reason for them going abroad for treatment. This situation is usually handled with expertise by intermediary tourist agencies – medical tourism middlemen who work on a commission basis only and are not particularly concerned about medical issues. Provided they manage to lead a patient to a particular place or doctor, who hires their services, they will get their money and have no more responsibility about it. |

In the main these “medical tourism salesmen” will play the “nice guys”. They will appear extremely friendly, willing to take you sightseeing, even meeting their families, to fulfill their role. However, in doing this they are covering up for their lack of organization and medical knowledge, and thereby justifying surgery delays, doctors’ absence, last minute scheduling, waiting for operating room availability and many other related problems. |

In our opinion, cosmetic surgery abroad should be viewed either as a cheap health tourism adventure where you get what you pay for or, as good quality medical services, still competitive enough to stand comparison to the medical fees charged in your own country for the same quality medical skills. Another important reason to take the opportunity offered by health tourism to visit a place abroad should be gaining the experience in procedures that are not performed in your country. |

In our case we do not depend on travel agencies, sponsors, promoters, dubious referrals, manipulating people through PS chats and forums, beauty coaching, etc. People get visit approval only if they fulfill terms we work under and if they are good prospects for the procedures they wish having performed. |

Since we own the clinic, which is dedicated to plastic surgery, we are able to control patients’ schedules. Unless a patient wishes to have some relaxation days prior to surgery, our normal working scheme is focused on the patient arriving one day before actual appointment, to undergo medical clearance tests and surgery the very next day. This way patient is able to precisely plan their arrival and departure dates without unnecessary waste of time, thereby optimizing his/her budget. |
