Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB via PR Web Direct) October 28, 2005 -- Demand for body lifts, a new cosmetic surgery procedure that is almost a necessity after massive weight loss from gastric bypass surgery, is growing fast. People are especially interested in having the procedure done in Thailand as part of a medical travel vacation.
?Our clients save 50% to 80% of the cost of the same procedure in the U.S. by having it done by our surgeons in Bangkok, Thailand,? says Julie Munro, CEO and Chief Medical Concierge at Cosmetic Surgery Travel LLC, America?s leading medical travel planning service.
For instance, one of Munro?s clients went in for a consultation at a well-known Chicago clinic and received an estimate of $80,000 for a two-stage body lift procedure. It included a belt lipectomy, abdominoplasty, breast lift and implants, brachioplasty (upper arm reduction) and a lower body lift. In Thailand, her body lift will be completed by a top plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Bangkok in two 3-week stays for a total cost of less than $25,000 including surgery, hospital stay, all accommodations, plane fare and supervised recovery.
?Both plastic surgeons, in Chicago and Bangkok, had exactly the same approach,? says Munro.
Another Cosmetic Surgery Travel client from New York, NY had her first stage body lift done in August and is returning to Thailand in December for the second stage. Total cost will be about $20,000 because she is using frequent flyer miles.
Most body lifts are done in two or three stages, three to four months apart. Only a few women are suitable candidates for a one-stage full or ?total? body lift that costs $40,000-$50,000.
