Considering Cyprus

Considering surgery abroad

Going abroad for surgery is becoming a popular option for an increasing number of people. There are very few things in life more important than your health so when you are considering having cosmetic surgery you are right to be very careful in making your choices.

Once you have decided on a procedure, the next few important considerations are:

• Having complete confidence in the surgeon carrying out the procedure
• Training and dedication of the team
• Health and safety measures
• The competitive price
• Enjoying exquisite personal service, in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, where patients have direct access to the surgeon 24/7
• Aftercare. A nurse is available at all times in London assisting with stitch removal or wound care if necessary. The surgeon also visits London regularly.

It is important to mention that the Cypriot hospitals are clear of the MRSA bug that can be lethal and is actually an increasing problem for the UK hospitals.

All these factors make Cyprus the number one choice for cosmetic surgery.

Health and safety issues that must be covered

No MRSA in Cyprus. - Through preoperative evaluation for every patient by a physician, including physical examination, Electrocardiogram, Blood tests. - Anaesthesia (except local anaesthesia) is always provided by a specialist Anaesthetist doctor, NOT BY A NURSE OR THE SURGEON. - All procedures are carried out in a hospital based environment, in fully equipped operating theatre that makes it possible to deliver any kind of anaesthesia and handle all surgical emergencies, and NOT IN AN OFFICE BASED ENVIRONMENT (that would cost much less money).

The Cypriot government has very strict laws for regulating the safety in the private healthcare provision. This law is more strict that in most other European countries.

Training and dedication of the team

The surgeon, the anaesthetist, the nurses speak English fluently. They are all highly motivated, friendly, and caring with the patients. Access to the surgeon and his assistants 24/7. The surgeon attends workshops/conferences very regularly to be able to offer the latest in the field.
