I am an Indian plastic surgeon and have had the opportunity to treat scores of overseas patients from Australia, US and Europe over the past 15 years. They all come back again and get their friends and relatives in tow.
I practice at Chandigarh which has maximum people with relatives in USA and hence get a large number of such patients. What amazes them is superior results at a third of the price.
i think it is more expensive in the US because it is a lucrative business. people see money signs and soon enough there are plastic surgeons popping up in 7-11′s to save on overhead!

Cosmetic Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.As a doctor i personally believe that your cosmetic surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.If you still havent got your surgery done,you are better off getting it done in India.

Prices depend on the cost of living in a certain country and also depend on the currency exchange from the £ GBP to the £USD, but if you are looking for affordable cosmetic surgery, look for cosmetic surgery abroad, in a neighbouring country. If you live in UK , Tunisia would be the best destination for cosmetic surgery, all cosmetic surgery procedures over there cost between £1,100 and £ 2,000 including food and accommodation.

cosmetic surgery is cheaper in the US. In the Uk it isn’t as socially exceptable to have the surgery therefore its not as lucrative a market as the US. This in turn means in the UK there arn’t as many companies offering the surgery and therefore they don’t need to keep prices down to beat their competitors for the business. US $3000, UK $7000 for an average breast implant.
