In recent years, an increasing number of local patients have opted to undergo cosmetic surgery abroad due to marketing, cost, and private recovery options. However, this trend comes with risks, as many patients face poor surgical outcomes. It’s important for anyone considering treatment abroad to be mindful of these risks. Check out my podcast for more information.
In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in local patients choosing to undergo cosmetic surgery abroad. The appeal of this trend is multifaceted and intriguing.
First, we see it influenced by marketing, advertising, and K-pop/K-drama culture. Second, the motivation for seeking surgical treatment abroad is often the lower cost compared to having the same treatment locally. Patients may view it as an opportunity for a vacation, getting the treatment done, recovering overseas, and returning without others knowing about their surgery or treatment.
I have observed a growing trend in the past few years, particularly among patients who have undergone both surgical and non-surgical treatments in countries like Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, and even Indonesia. Liposuction is among the many procedures that patients often seek overseas.
However, it’s important to note that this trend is not without its risks. A rising number of patients are coming back to Singapore with unsatisfactory or poorly executed liposuction results. It’s crucial for anyone considering overseas treatment to understand these risks.
This leads to the question: What are the risks of seeking treatment abroad? The answer is multifaceted.
