India is much more than a country of snake charmers and elephants. It has much more to offer than just a glimpse of hutments and hungry children. India is not only the destination for yoga and meditation; a melting pot of exotic cultures; and, a country where you can pack in lots of sightseeing; it’s also a popular destination for cosmetic surgery.

If you’ve got medical tourism on mind and thinking of going under the surgeon’s knife, you may want to consider visiting India. Medical tourism is the new mantra for all those who want to avail of medical care at cheaper rates. Medical tourism has seen cosmetic surgery costs drop by up to 90%, making world class treatments affordable for everyone. Medical tourism is also a way to combine medical treatment or surgery with a fantastic vacation.

An extensive facelift that would cost $20,000 in the U.S would cost under $3,000 in India saving a massive $17,000. Savings are massive across all procedures making cosmetic surgery within the reach of everyone.

India has emerged as the world leader in cosmetic surgery, combining world-class healthcare with prices that are a fraction of those in the US or Europe. This year around half a million foreign patients will travel to India for medical care, in 2002, the number was only 150,000.

In India low cosmetic surgery costs are combined with surgery on par with anywhere in the world and this is one of the fastest areas of growth in medical tourism in India.
