Recently many tourists traveling abroad for cosmetic surgery abroad. Some travel agencies have even launched programs to travel abroad for plastic surgery. From a medical point of view, travelers must be reminded to pay attention to safety. Plastic surgery during travel abroad has the following unfavorable factors: 1, the body’s immunity decreases, the risk of surgery increases. Medical plastic surgery belongs to the scope of surgery, plastic surgery is naturally accompanied by risk, there may be adverse reactions. During travel due to the environment and travel fatigue, the body’s immunity decreases, post-operative infection, poor healing incisions and scar growth is significantly more likely. 2, preoperative information is not well communicated, it is difficult to achieve the desired results. Before cosmetic plastic surgery, patients need to fully communicate with the surgeon. The surgeon should understand the patient’s requirements, and the patient should understand the surgeon’s program in order to form a consensus and ensure the surgical effect. If the two sides do not speak the same language, relying only on the interpreter to communicate, there are often cases where the surgical results deviate from the desired goal. 3, the level of surgical staff varies, problems are difficult to deal with. The level of foreign plastic surgeons is uneven, it is difficult for ordinary patients to understand. The real famous doctors have a stable patient base and generally do not take foreign travelers who visit them in a hurry. Even highly qualified doctors cannot guarantee that every procedure will be problem-free. In the event of complications, it is not easy for patients to travel abroad again for treatment. Domestic doctors do not understand the initial surgery and cannot make accurate judgments to ensure timely and effective management of the patient’s condition. Therefore, travelers should be cautious when going abroad for plastic surgery.
