Breast implant is affordable abroad
The affordability of breast implant surgery abroad doesn't affect the quality of treatment. The surgeons have a similar experience as your native country's doctors, if not more. Cost is lower because the living expense in these countries is lower if you compare it to US or UK.
Any patient with stable physical and mental health can have breast implants abroad. But if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it isn't suitable for you. Patients with severe illnesses or medical conditions are not ideal candidates.
The factors that affect the cost of breast implant treatment abroad are the hospital's location, the surgeon's experience, the technique used, and the type of treatment.
