  1. Medical Cost Comparisons of Procedures & Treatments Abroad Once an emerging sub-sector, which combined the idea of healthcare and overseas travel, medical tourism has grown into a full-fledged industry over the years, raking in substantial revenue globally. In 2019, the sector was valued at 44.8 billion USD, with a projection of 21.1% CAGR reaching 207.8 billion USD by 2027. The staggering market growth figures and predictions speak of the growing prominence of medical tourism across countries. In this article, we will elaborate on the popular procedures that patients usually seek abroad, along with a medical cost comparison. Cosmetic Surgery Cosmetic surgery was once one of the costliest procedures to exist, reserved for just a handful of people who could afford it. As time passed, the advancement in medical science and technology led to the invention of cutting-edge tools and equipment that brought down the cost of cosmetic procedures significantly. However, the cost can still be quite high in western nations like the UK and the USA. Luckily, there is medical tourism to offer cost- effective cosmetic surgery abroad. Some of the leading nations that have proven to be great for aesthetic treatments are Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil, South Korea, India, etc. A full facelift in countries like the UK costs around £4200 to £6000 and a rhinoplasty between £3000 and £4000. The same procedures cost around £1500 to £2300 in Brazil, Mexico, Singapore and other nations known for their medical tourism. Naturally, going overseas seems like a more cost-effective option despite taking into account the costs associated with travel abroad. Plastic Surgery There is a very thin line of difference between cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery. While cosmetic surgery is mostly optional and undergone by people to improve their looks, plastic surgery is more concerned with the reconstruction of any external damage caused by accidents to the body. Like Aesthetic procedures, plastic surgery can cost a fortune in the UK, but the cost is significantly lower in other countries. Brazil plastic surgery is most sought after by medical tourists. Orthopaedics With the global old age population rapidly increasing, there is more and more demand for orthopaedic procedures, but the cost often deprives aged patients of proper medical attention. Some of the very common orthopaedic surgeries are knee replacement, arthroscopic surgery, ACL surgery, rotator cuff and shoulder surgery. To draw a cost comparison, a knee replacement surgery in the UK costs between £11000 and £15600. The ACL surgery costs up to £8800. An experienced orthopaedic in Singapore at the best medical facility will charge around £3500 for knee replacement and £600 for ACL surgery.
