Surgery News & ResourcesCosmetic Surgery Vacations - Pain in Paradise
COSMETIC SURGERY VACATIONS: PAIN IN PARADISE! Cosmetic Surgery Vacations - Pain in Paradise (HealthNewsDigest.com)..RIDGEFIELD, CT- For years, it has been a common practice to combine an exotic vacation with cheap plastic surgery. The rarely publicized outcome of many such vacations is a botched procedure by a non board-certified, under-trained physician. Unfortunately, many patients who have traveled to abroad with the hopes of saving money on their surgery while recuperating in paradise have found the old saying “You Get What You Pay For” all too true! Most foreign countries have lower medical standards and less quality control than the United States. While many patients have successful procedures in such countries, should there be a problem with the specific surgery, the outcome can be devastating and costly. “In our practice, we’ve seen patients return from one of these trips with serious infections, horrible disfigurements and other life-threatening maladies,” said Dr. David Goldenberg, a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon at Advanced Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery in Ridgefield, CT. “Unfortunately, reversing and repairing these procedures can be extremely painful and cost the patient more in terms of time and money than just seeking out a board certified doctor close to home from the onset.” Popular destinations for cosmetic surgery tourism include Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, South Africa, and Thailand. These destinations offer everything from “safari and surgery” to “tropical, scenic tour” vacation packages. Dr. Goldenberg notes specific risks of such offshore offerings include:
Advanced Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery is part of Advanced Specialty Care, a multi-specialty medical group that also consists of Head & Neck Surgery, Pediatric & General Surgery, Audiology & Hearing Aid Services, Hand Surgery and Allergy divisions.
