Seeking Cheap Medical Care From Abroad

by Scott on March 13th, 2008

Thinking about taking a vacation overseas to get some cheap plastic surgery done? Think again. According to Dr. Michael Salzhauer M.D. (www.balbody.com), you should really consider the risks of your cosmetic adventure into the unknown. Sure people do it all the time. They do it all the time in the United States and they know the risks of doing it in their home country. Some people can’t afford the price of medical procedures so they seek a cheaper path by seeking foreign surgeons. Often time these surgeons are not qualified and do not have the proper credentials or facilities.

“Patients may take unnecessary risks, when choosing to go outside of the U.S. for surgery, by unknowingly selecting unqualified physicians and having procedures performed in non-accredited surgical facilities. It’s unfortunate that there are some surgeons who are in this profession for the business and not for the patient’s well-being. I have seen and re-operated on almost all cases of botched up plastic surgeries,” said Dr. Salzhauer

Imagine you do decide that you must have a medical procedure that is costly but much more affordable at a foreign medical practitioner you heard about from a friend or on the internet. Perhaps it’s a last ditch effort to make you feel better about yourself and want to get a face-lift, tummy tuck or whatever. Now imagine you just told your family or loved ones that your just taking a sight seeing trip. You get to your destination and all go everything but well. You get an infection become ill and die. I don’t mean to be morbidly honest, but come on! Is it really worth saving some money and stroking your ego? Don’t be stupid.
