Two terms\u00a0you&#8217;d typically\u00a0never associate with each other. Yet\u00a0cosmetic surgery holidays are hardly a new or little-known phenomenon\u00a0&#8211; at least according to the staggering medical tourism figures in popular cosmetic\u00a0surgery destinations around the world. While it does have its medical risks, I&#8217;d personally go for it \u2013 keep reading to find out why.

A patient looking for breast implants\u00a0can expect to pay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicaltourism.com\/Forms\/price-comparison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">$8,400 in Singapore compared to $3,500 in Thailand and $3,800 in Malaysia<\/a>. This makes a cosmetic\u00a0surgery vacay\u00a0&#8211; even after factoring in\u00a0travel and accommodation costs &#8211; far more affordable than a standalone procedure in Singapore. While costs may vary between patients and procedures, lower labour costs in these destinations (as compared to places like Singapore, Australia and the States) usually mean lower surgery prices (<a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/things-to-do-in-singapore-our-affordable-guide-to-eating-shopping-and-partying-for-100-or-less\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">can we say <em>deal<\/em>?<\/a>)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Recovery meets relaxation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fancy<a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/seminyak-getaway-our-blissful-stay-in-villa-kubus-pool-villas-in-bali-indonesia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u00a0poolside rubdowns<\/a>\u00a0in between medical appointments?

Having experienced a few surgeries myself, I&#8217;ve experienced first-hand the bleakness of post-op recovery. Healing and hiding it out within\u00a0the four walls of your bedroom or ward for weeks <em>does not<\/em> make for a happy experience. On the other hand, recovering from an invasive surgery in a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/holiday-villas-in-asia-the-most-gorgeous-places-to-stay-in-bali-thailand-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">lush Bali villa <\/a>or a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/new-luxury-hotels-near-singapore-st-regis-langkawi-malaysia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">five-star hotel<\/a> doesn&#8217;t only sound glamorous; away from the stresses of daily life, it&#8217;s the perfect, relaxing way for your body (and mind) to heal.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Total discretion<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s probably nothing more awkward than bumping into a friend when your nose is heavily bandaged, or eyes are swollen to death. If you&#8217;re countries\u00a0away, you&#8217;re at little risk of gossipy friends finding out about your boob job or new double lids. As for work, it&#8217;s far more discreet to tell your boss that you&#8217;re going on a two-week vacay and returning\u00a0with subtly improved features, rather than staying on-island and being pressured to announce the reason for your long leave.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Fuss-free planning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The savvy traveller in you has probably heard of unique\u00a0travel packages, including introvert-specific ones, and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-holidays-singapore-spiritual-vacations-beautiful-travel-destinations-will-change-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">spiritual vacays<\/a>. I&#8217;ve heard of people flying to Bangkok and Korea to get their faces done, but have never heard of agencies who offer all-inclusive aesthetic surgery travel packages. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restoredbeautygetaways.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Restored Beauty Getaways<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gorgeousgetaways.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Gorgeous Getaways<\/a> are just some of many that\u00a0offer these packages, which often include private hospital fees (and subsequent fees like\u00a0anaesthesia and X-ray), prescribed medication, accommodation, and all transfers to\/from the airport and hospital. All you need to do is plan your meals (if room service isn&#8217;t a daily option) and activities (should you be well enough to leave the room).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90482\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90482\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-90482 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/bumrungrad.view_.1.jpg\" alt=\"You'd be forgiven for mistaking Bumungrad International Hospital for a hotel.

Famous cosmetic\u00a0surgery destinations\u00a0like Bangkok offer cosmetic surgery packages at world-class hospitals, including Bumungrad International Hospital and Bangkok Hospital (which are supported by internationally trained surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities). We spoke to a colleague&#8217;s acquaintance (let&#8217;s call her &#8220;A&#8221;), who had breast augmentation and cosmetic veneers done at Bangkok Hospital in Phuket. &#8220;Service was amazing, with multiple nurses accommodating to me in a grand and squeaky clean environment. Thanks to top-notch care, I experienced minimal pain and was reading and relaxing poolside only two days post-op&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90495\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90495\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-90495 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d22ir9aoo7cbf6.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/04\/pexels.photo_.large_.jpg\" alt=\"pexels.photo.large\" width=\"900\" height=\"550\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/550;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90495\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Invest in thorough research before choosing your destination and hospital of choice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>But there are glaring issues&#8230;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While surgery is always risky, the risk is heightened in destinations with less stringent medical regulations. This could result in severe complications and infections, which involve rushing to the emergency room and frantic flights back home. There are also possibilities of revisionary work and additional corrective treatments which usually happen post-trip, leading to added expenses. Plus, without the presence of your surgeon (the best person to treat your problem), this may lead to deviations from your original choice.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Research is the word<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As with any invasive surgery, never take it lightly and actually commit to doing thorough research beforehand. Look up the hospital and surgeon&#8217;s qualifications, accreditation (under International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery)\u00a0and the hospital&#8217;s medical standards. At your consultation, be sure to ask about\u00a0the risk of complications, including what happens if they arise post-op and if the surgeon will accept liability. A advises, &#8220;At the end of the day, it comes down to doing your research and deciding if you&#8217;re confident with the\u00a0surgeon and hospital you&#8217;ve chosen. Then, confirm if the surgery is something you really want. If\u00a0you know the answers to both are &#8216;yes&#8217;, then you&#8217;re making the right decision&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Personally,\u00a0I can&#8217;t think of a better way to recuperate if I ever go through\u00a0that much\u00a0physical\u00a0change (and possibly, slight trauma); there&#8217;d be nothing more rejuvenating than private pool seshes, in-room massages and waking up to room service after blissful sleep on luxe linens. I&#8217;ve no plans to go under the knife just yet, but if I do, you can bet I&#8217;ll be Googling &#8220;cosmetic surgery vacays&#8221; faster than you can say &#8220;nose
