Spain has become one of the leading destinations in Europe to have cosmetic surgery performed (also known as plastic surgery).
This is due to many reasons; most people having cosmetic surgery in Spain are actually Spaniards themselves due to lifestyle and cultural changes.
Spanish people are very much into their looks and looking as pretty and young as they can.
Also the climate means they are outdoors more and the body more exposed and on show so looking good is more important. Banks even offer finance plans so you can spread payments.
Why Travel to Spain for Surgery?
The other key reason for the popularity of cosmetic surgery in Spain is that many Northern Europeans are taking holidays and trips and at the same time they are having aesthetic surgery.
Lower Prices
Some people will opt to fly to other countries such as South Africa, America or Eastern Europe because they are often cheaper than having surgery in Spain but there are clear advantages to having cosmetic surgery in Spain, these being:
Spain is usually just a short flight away so you don’t have to take so much time off work. Flights to Spain are frequent and low-cost.
English-Speaking Staff
Spain is a familiar country especially to the British who feel more comfortable about travelling to Spain for cosmetic surgery as for example compared to Eastern European countries. Virtually everyone you will deal with regarding your surgery in Spain speaks English. Hospitals, clinics, doctors and nurses are usually of a high standard.
Indeed cosmetic surgery clinics in Spain are of the highest standards so are very safe and the prices are very favourable with procedures often cheaper than countries such as the UK so you can often find that the money saved enables you to have a free holiday at the same time.
You can combine the cosmetic surgery with a holiday, good for relaxing and recovering after your cosmetic surgery which is necessary and also people will not see you with bruises or scars.
When you fly back home they need not even know you had cosmetic surgery while you were on holiday!
As an alternative perhaps you might consider aesthetic medicine clinics in Spain which offer non-invasive surgery procedures to enhance your physical appearance such as botox or dermal fillers.
How Much Does Cosmetic Surgery Procedures Cost?
Typically cosmetic surgery in Spain will be approximately 35% cheaper than having it done in the UK. This of course will vary, take a look at our guide below to cosmetic surgery procedures you can have done in Spain because the costs (and savings) really depend on your choices.
To give you an idea a boob job is around €5,000. Don’t worry that the cheaper price indicates a lower standard – this is completely untrue.
Some of the clinics in Spain can offer free consultations first in the UK so you can know exactly what work you will have performed in Spain and they also offer after-care back in the UK.
Most popular cosmetic surgery procedures are liposuction, rhinoplasty (nose job), facelift, eye-lift, s-lift, tummy tuck, breast enlargement (boob job), breast reduction and cosmetic dentistry.
Qualifications To Look For
Do check the qualifications of the people who will be performing your operation or procedure. The national plastic surgeons’ society in Spain is called Secpre. Another organisation you may come across is ISAPS – the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Spain has strict rules and policies when it comes to the use of cosmetic surgery so be assured that as long as you are using a qualified person Spain is a good choice of location.
If the surgeon is not Spanish (for example English) it may be that they are instead registered with the GMC (General Medical Council) in the UK, this means they are a doctor but also check they are on the specialist register (for cosmetic plastic surgery). If in doubt do not go ahead.
Where to Find English-Speaking Clinics or Surgeons
Most cosmetic surgery clinics in Spain are located on the Costa del Sol. This is simply because this area, especially around Marbella, has been known for decades as the playground of the rich and famous and of course wealthy people will often be typical clients for having cosmetic surgery.
