With so many people from around the world flocking to South Africa to undergo cosmetic surgery, you may be wondering what the attraction is.

Surely it would be simpler and less expensive to stay home and have your local surgeon operate?

You may think only celebrities can afford to fly to exotic destinations for plastic surgery. Or perhaps you are concerned about the qualifications of ‘foreign’ doctors and the quality of the facilities in Africa.

Cost

The exchange rate for most visitors to South Africa is exceptionally favourable, making this beautiful country one of the top travel destinations in the world. For plastic surgery candidates the procedures are available at a fraction of the cost compared with the UK, Europe and the USA, and this is a major draw card for many patients.

Surgeons

South Africa boasts some of the world’s leading plastic surgeons. The quality and care you’ll receive is world-class – you’re getting the best for a whole lot less! Governing bodies such as the Health Professions Council of South Africa, (HPCSA), the Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons of South Africa (ISAPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery keep tight control of the standards of their members, so when you select a surgeon we make sure they are affiliated to these boards and you will be assured of the highest possible standards of medical care.

Facilities

If you choose a good surgeon you can be sure they will operate in one of the many excellent private clinics and hospitals in South Africa. You need not concern yourself with fears of ‘third-world’ facilities here!

Recovery

Due to the increase in cosmetic surgery holidays, many of South Africa’s top hotels and guest houses now welcome patients and cater for their specific requirements during the recovery period. Whether you need two days or two weeks you will be able to stay in comfortable and luxurious accommodation where the staff is trained to assist you in every way during this crucial post-operative phase. Privacy and total confidentiality are guaranteed.

Destination

Because the medical aspect is so much more affordable in South Africa, you will find that you can also afford to enjoy the wonders of the country either before or after your procedure. The majority of plastic surgery patients who come to South Africa incorporate a real holiday into their stay, taking part in big game safaris, touring to various attractions or lazing on one of the beautiful beaches along the country’s coastline. By choosing South Africa you can experience the vacation of a life-time and return home with much more than a great tan – smoother skin, perkier breasts - maybe even a whole new streamlined figure!
