More expatriates are returning to their native countries for medical care. This trend is due in part because of increased quality of care in many countries, as well as the affordability of such care. 

Asians traveling to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia enjoy affordable state of the art and high-tech treatment and care for orthopedic surgical procedures, cardiac care, and vision care. Latin Americans are returning to Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina for cutting edge technology in cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures, infertility treatments, and anti aging treatments and procedures. Eastern Europeans are traveling to destinations such as Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and Armenia as well as Russia for drug detox treatments, infertility treatments, and stem cell treatment and technologies.

Rising healthcare costs in the United States, Britain, Canada and France are compelling natives as well as foreign citizens to return to their homelands for such care, which utilizes highly trained physicians, world-class treatment and quality care that nevertheless is not burdened by high malpractice insurance costs, long wait times, and an increasingly disturbing trend by physicians and insurance companies in some countries to hesitate to take on patients diagnosed with chronic and long-term illnesses that drain resources, time, and manpower.

Information, education and resources offered to such expatriates enables educated and informed decisions regarding medical care, preventive medicine, and treatment of conditions ranging from cancer treatment to spine or knee surgery to stem cell treatments in foreign facilities. Destinations such as Wooridul Spine Center in South Korea, EmCell stem cell research in Ukraine and Ageless Wonders in Panama offer international travelers the best that medicine has to offer.

Antiaging treatments today consist of both medical as well as natural treatments and therapies. Everything from the latest techniques in thread lift surgical procedures to fat transfers to products that include human growth hormones, sprays and releasers are up for grabs. Natural as well as not-so-natural treatments for skin care and therapies, techniques and procedures to tighten the skin, enhance appearance and reduce unsightly wrinkles encourage a multibillion dollar industry. In addition to the benefits of daily exercise, adequate hydration, a balanced and nutritious diet and “youth in a bottle,” some of the most popular antiaging treatments include:

• Cosmetic and plastic surgeries
• Human growth hormone products
• Fat transfers
• Antiaging skin care products
• Diets rich in antioxidants
• “Antiaging” medications

The cost of antiaging treatments depends on the approach as well as the type of product or service chosen by any given individual. Antiaging creams and shelf products may cost anywhere between $20 and $75 or more per bottle, while thread lift surgical procedures cost around $3,000-$5,000 in the United States. Anti-aging and cosmetic and plastic surgical treatments are generally not covered under health care policies for American citizens, which leads many to travel south of the border, or to exotic destinations in Europe or Asia for affordable yet quality antiaging treatments. Individuals traveling to India, Thailand, Argentina, Costa Rica or Brazil in addition to the facilities found throughout Poland, Turkey and the Ukraine may save hundreds to thousands of dollars on antiaging treatments, procedures and programs.

State-of-the-art facilities, high standards in training and expertise, as well as Board certification from United States providers sets many at ease.  Some of the most popular destinations for medical tourism surgical procedures include Mexico, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore and India and location in Europe such as Croatia, Ukraine and Poland.

 

Medical technology as well as quality and standards of care in most countries around the world are on a level with those expected and demanded within the United States. The International Division of the Joint Commission, which accredits hospitals and facilities within the United States, also accredits facilities internationally. Many physicians who practice in European and Asian hospitals and medical centers have been trained and board-certified within the United States.

 

Mexico is a popular destination for dental care or plastic and cosmetic surgery. Benefit from expert and affordable medical treatments throughout Mexico. Many United States-based hospital corporations own medical hospitals not only in Mexico City, but along the United States border and in South American destinations such as Brazil and Costa Rica and Argentina.

 

A cardiac surgical procedure such as heart valve replacement or bypass can cost over $200,000. It is not difficult to wonder why a cardiac patient would be interested in traveling to facilities like Acibadem Healthcare Group in Turkey or the Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan, both JCI accredited heart care facilities that offer quality and expert care at prices that won’t leave you bankrupt for the rest of your life.

Cosmetic procedures are some of the most popular reasons for medical tourism. Going outside the United States not only ensures that the procedure will be less expensive, but the quality of work is comparable to more expensive procedures done nationwide. Cosmetic surgery procedure and affordable plastic surgery is designed for people who not only would like to improve the appearance of their face, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen, but those who require plastic reconstructive surgeries caused by accidents, genetic defects and other injuries.

Most Popular Cosmetic/ Plastic Surgery Procedures:

• Breast Augmentation
• Breast Reduction 
• Breast Lift
• Facelift
• Nose Lift Surgery
• Tummy Tuck Surgery
• Liposuction
• Chemical Peel
• Eyelid Surgery
• Facial Implants
• Skin Resurfacing
• Ear Surgery

Undergoing cosmetic surgery not only makes a person feel more confident and raise their self-esteem, but it also helps those who have undergone traumatic events to feel like themselves once more.  Men and women both undergo cosmetic surgery to feel youthful, since those who show signs of aging faster lose confidence in their professional life, as well as their personal life.

Cosmetic procedures in Brazil have been a popular medical tourism destination due to high quality attention and low cost treatments. Check out the Center of Plastic Surgery & Rehabilitation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for their state of the art treatment facility and resort like accommodations. This medical facility speaks many languages, including Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

A large percent of baby boomers (those between the ages of 45-65) are currently uninsured. Many who belong to this age group have lost their jobs due to aging, unemployment or downsizing and are no longer covered by affordable health care or insurance.

 

Traveling beyond local borders offers this group, more than any other demographic, the opportunity to pursue and receive premium healthcare, alternative treatments and travel, all at the same time. Boomers are leading the way to more affordable healthcare, seeking medical care overseas to address such needs as knee and hip replacement surgeries, cardiac care, and alternative treatments for chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, orthopedic procedures, and dental care.

 

American boomers needing dental care and prescriptions often travel south of the border into Mexico or even as far as Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica for their needs. Dental procedures as well as medications in Latin American countries is less than half of what comparable procedures and medications cost in the United States. Thailand, Singapore, and Malaysia are popular destinations for those needing hip or knee replacement surgeries. Europeans are making trips to Hungry and Poland for dental and cosmetic procedures at great savings, even after including the cost of travel and hotel or clinic accommodations.

 

Hospitals in South America or Asia generally cost one half of the price charged in the United States and Europe. For example, cardiac and orthopedic surgeries performed in India can save health travelers nearly $20,000 or more with one surgical procedure.

 

The health and wellness industry is booming, and today’s older adults and boomers are leading the way to a new revolution in affordable health care known as medical tourism.
