Plastic Surgery India Review
How would you feel when your wish is fulfilled after a wait of more than 16 years?
Elated, right?
That’s exactly how Hellen feels after her plastic surgery in India. She had been wanting to correct an issue with her body which had been bothering her for almost 17 years. Being a flight superintendent for an international airline in her country, she had the privilege of traveling to various countries.
This had given her the opportunity of meeting several surgeons in various countries. Of course, she was happy with the consultation with a few, but the cost of surgery with those surgeons was way beyond her means. For the rest, with whom she could afford the surgery, either she was not sure of what results she would get or did not like the facility or post-op care was a problem or something or the other which did not give her the confidence to go ahead.

This stands true not only for Indian healthcare but for healthcare across the world, especially for many Western countries. The cost of even life-saving procedures such as heart surgery in the West is beyond the reach of many people; if uninsured.
