If all the hospitals and clinics in your area are charging more than you can afford for cosmetic surgery, you may want to look into medical tourism. It's not such a stretch anymore to suggest that someone go outside their own country for medical treatment, especially routine outpatient treatments like plastic surgeries, breast implants and breast augmentation, and even dental work. The improved costs of airfare and the rising costs of treatments in many "western" countries have created a new marketplace that many eager clinics and hospitals have scrambled over one another to get a good place in. The leaders of this race to attract your business are all in Thailand, the land of smiles.

Thailand has been ahead of the curve from the start of the international medical tourism boom offering services like cosmetic surgeries, orthopedics, dental care and even world class cardiology. They were the first country in ASEAN group to have any hospitals that had received the international JCI accreditation, and are still leading the region with the most internationally accredited hospitals. The clinics there have some of most demanding plastic surgeon qualifications and the high volume of traffic that the country sees means that they have as much hands on experience as surgeons could possibly have.

Another thing that sets Thailand apart from its neighbors as a medical tourism powerhouse is its creative take on the hospital or clinical experience. They have married the legendary spa traditions of Siam with modern medicine and highly trained doctors to create an entirely new hybrid. The new clinics are called "medical spas" and they offer all of the modernity in equipment and physician training you would expect in your own country with the very welcome additions of spa treatments like massage and acupuncture. The result is that your time in the hospital is as relaxing and refreshing as could be imagined and you hardly notice any of the unpleasant aspects of cosmetic surgery.

Take some time and find a good medical travel agency that you feel comfortable with. They will be able to give you information about the different clinics in Thailand, work with you to design plastic surgery packages, and answer any questions you have about cosmetic surgery in the country.

Generally, they should also be able to offer you before and after images and past client testimonials to further set your mind at ease before you make a decision and head to Thailand.
