Are you considering cosmetic surgery, but your country seems unsuitable due to high costs, surgery failures, lack of privacy, or other reasons?
Lithuania has emerged as one of the best places in Europe for medical tourism in recent years due to its high-quality healthcare system, world-class surgeons, affordable prices, and modern facilities.
The country attracts many patients from neighbouring countries, as well as from more distant regions. Medical tourists fly to Lithuania from the UK, Ireland and western European countries, such as Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium.
In this article, you will find why Lithuania is one of the best countries to have your cosmetic surgery and how it compares to other European countries and worldwide destinations.
Is Lithuania good for plastic surgery?
Yes. Travelling to Lithuania for cosmetic surgery offers an attractive combination of the latest technology, world-class surgeons, thorough individual care, less expensive surgery cost and many other benefits. It is also important to note that the waiting time is usually much shorter than in other countries.
Lithuania has been recognised among the 10 best countries for medical tourism, ranked by appeal, specialities, and popularity in the world.
7 reasons Lithuania is one of the best countries for medical tourism in Europe
1. The latest technology is used to perform surgeries in Lithuania
Lithuania is known for using cutting-edge technology in the field of cosmetic surgery. Plastic surgeons commonly use sophisticated machinery appropriate for each procedure.
You may be impressed by the advancement of some technology after the first few meetings, as 3D imaging computers can create a three-dimensional image of your post-surgery dream body in some clinics.
The use of modern technology continues into the surgery room, which you should instantly acknowledge. It starts with the heating device for the patient’s comfort and further assists the surgeon in completing complex maneuvers.
Overall, the country’s technology for plastic surgery is on par with other European countries, and in some cases, it may even be more advanced.
However, it’s important to note that while technology can greatly improve the safety and efficacy of plastic surgery, it’s ultimately the skill and experience of the surgeon that will determine the success of the procedure.
