GeneralThe Red Flags of Having Surgery Abroad

During the pandemic, cosmetic interventions became more popular as the industry experienced a “zoom boom.” After spending hours and hours on video calls during the pandemic, many people decided they wanted to alter some of their flaws. Even with the pandemic restrictions ending, the industry is still seeing a gradual increase in enquiries. This also includes people who have experienced complications or issues following surgery carried out by less reputable providers abroad. Below, we explore some of the red flags of surgery abroad.

Be aware of all your options

For a start, you should be aware of all your cosmetic intervention options. Going abroad can seem appealing for lower prices, but this might not make up for the trustworthy, quality aftercare you might receive from other providers. If you’re thinking of going for a tummy tuck, for instance, you should consider all your options and the risks below before making a decision.

The risks

Booking treatment without consultation

Your consultation is a chance for you to get to know your surgeon and to ask any questions about the procedure. At the same time, your surgeon will need to know about your medical history too. You should be wary of booking treatment without consultation, as this is a major step in the cosmetic surgery process.

Aftercare

Aftercare is essential to cosmetic surgery. If you have any issues during your recovery, you’ll need face-to-face care to help you move forwards and heal. Opting for surgery abroad might leave you without this crucial service.

Travel risks

Travel risks are also a red flag. If you’re going under general anaesthetic, flying can increase the risk of issues such as a pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis. Surgery abroad isn’t advisable if you don’t factor in recovery time for your trip.

Communication issues

The language barrier can be a red flag too. You need to be able to communicate clearly with your surgeon. This can allay any fears you have with your surgery while allowing your surgeon to personalise your operation for the best results. If you can’t speak the language, then surgery abroad might not be the best choice for you.

Having surgery abroad is a big decision. If you’re considering it, you should follow the guide above and explore all your options before making a final decision that works best for you and your family.
