Over 2 million international patients travel to India annually for medical care. Plastic surgery is one of the fastest growing specialties for medical tourism. The reasons are clear.
Cost savings of 60 to 75 percent compared to USA and UK. Rhinoplasty costs 850 to 2,200 USD in India versus 8,000 to 15,000 USD in USA. Gynecomastia costs 600 to 1,800 USD versus 4,000 to 8,500 USD. Even with airfare and hotel the total is far lower.
Indian plastic surgeons are trained to international standards. DNB Super Speciality is equivalent to Western residency programs. Hospitals are NABH accredited. The same FDA-approved implants used in USA and UK are available. English-speaking staff and short waiting times make the experience smooth.
Hyderabad is especially convenient with direct flights from Dubai at 3 hours London at 9 hours and many US cities. The IT hub area has world-class hotels at one-third Mumbai prices. Post-surgery follow-up continues via WhatsApp video for 90 days after you return home.
