ATHENS – Dr. George Tsakonis, experienced plastic surgeon, shared his thoughts on the growth of medical tourism and the many options available for those seeking cosmetic procedures while on vacation in Greece.
In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the number of patients traveling to different countries for medical tourism. Plastic surgery in particular is one of the fastest growing of the medical fields within medical tourism, Dr. Tsakonis pointed out. Among the main reasons are the lower costs and the shorter waiting lists, as well as the option of combining a medical procedure with relaxation. Furthermore, the development of modern technology in various countries of the world makes medical tourism a great idea.
Of course, it is quite difficult to think of a better place than our beloved Greece. It is the perfect place to combine your vacation with the aesthetic intervention you desire. Certainly, in Greece you will find some of the most modern plastic surgery centers and clinics across Europe.
Types of plastic surgery
The field of plastic surgery consists of two distinct areas: reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. The first is about restoring the patient’s appearance after a possible accident, while the second is about improving our appearance. Cosmetic surgery has been quite popular in recent years as it helps to deal with birth defects of our face or body. As a consequence, it also significantly improves the psychology of patients and increases their self-esteem.
Some of the most common interventions people choose are:
Most surgeries require a very short hospital stay, so they can easily be combined with your vacation. You can make your first stop in Athens, visit a well-trained plastic surgeon, and then continue to one of the most popular destinations in the country.
Advantages
Greece attracts a huge number of patients from various parts of the world. The main incentives are the creation of state-of-the-art facilities, the extensive experience and expertise of plastic surgeons, as well as the much lower prices. Medical tourism to Greece is expected to grow even further over the next decade. Indeed, medical tourism is a very attractive option, as interested parties can save up to 50% to 70% on a given procedure, depending on the type of surgery they choose.
