Is it safe to get a facelift overseas?

Dear Susanqhk,

Thankyou for your question. As a simple answer such procedures should be addressed by experts around the world regardless of the location or country. It is better to go to a reputable surgeon so that there are no complications in the future. In the case of travelling for surgeries, I recommend to stay in the country following post-surgery for 7-10 days for close follow up.

Thankyou for your question. I trained and practiced for several years in the U.S. before coming back to India about fifteen years back. As with all procedures, when you get a facelift down outside your home country or state , you should find an experienced Board certified plastic surgeon with appropriate qualifications. Please make sure that he or she does face-lifts frequently and has a good track record. You should also discuss the means of follow up after the surgery. You will need to stay in that country for eight to ten days and that cost should be added to the cost of the procedure, although most surgeons will allow sightseeing and local travel after the first couple of days. All the best!

Thanks for your question! Fees are in place here for a reason. In the United States, we have incredibly high safety standards. More importantly, if you have a surgery overseas, head home and then have a complication, you may end up paying more in care. My recommendation would be to save up and have surgery (relatively) locally. Good luck!
