Reshaping procedures such as rhinoplasty, facelift and body contouring. Every quote covers the procedure, hotel, transfers and 12 months of aftercare — written down before you fly.
A plain-English guide to ear surgery (otoplasty) abroad — real price ranges, how to judge a clinic, and how the trip actually works.
Plastic and cosmetic surgery reshapes what exercise and time cannot: rhinoplasty, facelifts, breast surgery, liposuction and tummy tucks. Every one is real surgery — the result depends on the operating surgeon's judgement and caseload far more than on the destination, which is why board certification and standardised before/after sets are the currency that matters.
Accredited hospitals abroad price major cosmetic procedures 50–65% below UK rates — a rhinoplasty at €2,400–€4,500 versus £7,000–£10,000, a mommy makeover at roughly the UK price of a single procedure. Packages include the hospital stay, nights in a recovery hotel, transfers and a translator, so the quoted number is the trip's real cost.
Verify three things: the surgeon's board certification, that your procedure happens in a licensed hospital (not an office), and the revision policy in writing. Meet the operating surgeon on video before you commit — the person who assessed your photos should be the person holding the instruments.
Plan for 7–10 days on site for most procedures: surgery, drains and compression garments in week one, and a surgeon's clearance before you fly. Swelling resolves over months — honest clinics show results at six and twelve months, and your aftercare reviews run on the same schedule.
Share your case once — photos and a short history. Up to three verified clinics review it and return fixed, all-inclusive written quotes, usually within 24 hours. You meet the treating doctor on a free video consultation before committing to anything, pay nothing to be matched, and every package includes 12 months of structured aftercare after you're home.
Every surgeon on GetClinic is board-certified with hospital operating rights, and their annual caseload for your procedure is part of the profile. Ask for standardised before/after sets — same angles, same lighting, six months or later.
It depends on the procedure: typically 5–7 days after rhinoplasty or liposuction, 7–10 after a tummy tuck or facelift. Your surgeon clears you at the discharge review, and your itinerary is built around that, not around a fixed package length.
Revision terms are written into the quote: what qualifies, who operates, and who pays for travel. Complication cover is included in every GetClinic package — you see the policy before you book.
Often yes — combining (e.g. liposuction with a tummy tuck) shares one anaesthesia and one recovery. Whether it's safe for you is a surgeon's call based on operating time and your health screening.
