A boom in cosmetic surgery abroad?

Cosmetic surgery is becoming "acceptable" in the United Kingdom. The multiplicity of personal makeover and plastic surgery programs on UK television has helped a boom of aesthetic surgery of the fuel. Whereas five years ago, large healthcare providers of UK how BUPA and BMI Healthcare interested only on the market of plastic surgery, they now are taking the business very seriously and has seen the year on year growth of around 25% to 30%.



Sainsbury's Bank estimates that each day, approximately £ 1.8 million is spent on plastic surgery. He estimates that this year, in England, plus 5 million pounds will have been taken into personal loans for cosmetic surgery, and around one fifth of this will be in loans for men. The average size of loans for cosmetic surgery is about £ 6500. Mintel estimates a growth of 240% during the period 2001 to 2006 and predicts that by 2009 British adults will be making a trip to the surgeon at least a million times per year.



This is good news for medical tourism providers. The low cost of cosmetic surgery abroad will expand the market, providing a solution for those who could not afford another form of treatment.



Cosmetic surgery now represents approximately 50% of enquiries we receive treatment abroad.
