From routine aesthetic procedures to combination surgeries and reconstructive work after illness or injury, our network handles the full breadth of plastic surgery. Reconstructive cases (such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy, scar revision, or post-trauma reconstruction) are reviewed individually, since each case is unique.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
from €2,800
Reshape the nose for aesthetic or functional reasons, including correcting breathing issues alongside the cosmetic change.
Breast Augmentation
from €3,500
Increase breast size and shape using FDA-approved silicone or saline implants, in a size and profile chosen with the surgeon.
Breast Reduction
from €3,800
Reduces breast volume with the aim of relieving back, neck or shoulder strain, with attention to symmetry and natural shape.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
from €3,500
Aims to reshape and reposition the breast after weight loss, pregnancy or ageing, preserving volume with minimal scarring.
Liposuction (Body Contouring / Fat Removal)
from €2,500
Targeted fat removal from abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, or chin to refine body contours, alone or combined with other procedures.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
from €3,200
Remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal wall after pregnancy or significant weight change.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
from €1,800
Refresh the eye area by removing excess upper-lid skin or addressing under-eye bags, with a shorter recovery than most plastic procedures.
Facelift
from €4,500
Repositions deeper facial tissues rather than only tightening the skin surface, which aims for a more natural result.
Mommy Makeover (Post-Pregnancy Combined Surgery)
from €6,500
A combined plan, typically breast surgery, tummy tuck, and liposuction in a single trip, tailored to post-pregnancy bodies.

How much does plastic surgery abroad cost, and why is it more affordable?
Plastic surgery in our network is often substantially cheaper than equivalent procedures in the UK, the Netherlands, or Germany. Most partner hospitals and clinics follow international surgical standards and accreditation. The gap comes from lower operational costs and favorable exchange rates, not from cheaper materials or less experienced surgeons. For now most patients travel to our partners in Turkey, with more European countries joining the network.
The figures below are starting prices in our network. Once you share the details of your case with us, the hospital prepares a quote for you personally, and that quote can come out above or below the starting prices below.
| Procedure | 🇳🇱 Netherlands | 🇩🇪 Germany | 🇬🇧 UK private | Our network | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rhinoplasty (nose surgery) | €5,000-8,000 | €6,000-9,000 | £5,500-8,500 | from €2,800 | up to 65% |
| Breast augmentation | €5,500-8,000 | €6,500-9,500 | £4,500-7,000 | from €3,500 | up to 60% |
| Liposuction (one area) | €3,000-6,000 | €3,500-6,500 | £2,500-5,000 | from €2,500 | up to 50% |
| Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) | €6,000-9,000 | €7,000-10,000 | £5,500-8,500 | from €3,200 | up to 65% |
Comparison figures are indicative averages for adult patients without insurance reimbursement. Most aesthetic procedures are not reimbursed by EU public or private insurers. Reconstructive procedures may be partially covered, depending on the medical indication and your insurer's policy.

Most offers abroad are sold as a ready-made all-inclusive package: one price for the surgery, the hotel, the transfers and the aftercare. The problem is that this price is set before anyone has seen your case, so it is based on an average patient rather than on you.
We work the other way round. You share your details, we pass them to our partner hospitals, and the hospital prices your case. What that offer covers is your call: the surgery only, or the surgery with accommodation and airport transfers included, and in some cases flights as well. That is still a package. The difference is that it is built around what you asked for, instead of being fixed in advance for everyone.
| Ready-made package | How Rehealth works |
|---|---|
| One price fixed in advance for an assumed case | The hospital prices your case after seeing your details |
| The seller decides what is included | You decide: surgery only, or with accommodation and transfers included |
| You speak to a sales or booking agent | You have a video consultation with the surgical team who would treat you |
| Extras are bundled whether you need them or not | You ask the team directly what your quote covers and what it does not |
The starting prices on this page are the lowest prices in our network, not a quote. Your own figure can come out above or below them, and it comes from the hospital rather than from us.
Who is a good candidate, and when the honest answer is no
A clinic that says yes to every patient is not necessarily acting in your interest. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons publishes conditions that should be met before a procedure is appropriate. It is worth checking them against your own situation before you spend anything.
| Condition | What the ASPS states |
|---|---|
| General health | You are physically healthy. For breast augmentation, that you are not pregnant or breastfeeding |
| Stable weight | For a tummy tuck, that you are at a stable weight |
| Smoking | For a tummy tuck, that you are a nonsmoker |
| Expectations | That you have realistic expectations about what the procedure can change |
| Your reasons | That you are doing it for yourself and not for someone else, even if that person has offered to pay for it |
Source: American Society of Plastic Surgeons, patient candidacy guidance. If a team tells you that none of this applies to you, treat that as a warning sign. In our network the video consultation takes place before you commit to anything, so that the team can still say no.
What does recovery actually look like, procedure by procedure?
Recovery decides how much time you need to take off work, so it is worth knowing the figures before you book anything. Below is what the American Society of Plastic Surgeons states for the procedures our patients ask about most.
| Procedure | What the ASPS states |
|---|---|
| Breast augmentation | Acute pain typically subsides after one to five days; soreness and swelling can last a few weeks |
| Liposuction | Return to work at weeks 2 to 3 depending on your job; bruising should be gone by weeks 4 to 5; swelling keeps improving from week 6 onwards |
| Rhinoplasty | Initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, but it may take up to a year for the new nasal contour to fully refine |
| Tummy tuck | The ASPS gives no fixed timeline and directs you to ask your surgeon when you can resume normal activity and exercise |
These are general figures for planning, not a prediction of your own recovery. Your surgical plan, whether procedures are combined and how you heal yourself all affect these figures.

Start Free — Talk to Us →How long is the recovery after plastic surgery abroad?
Plastic surgery trips are longer than most medical trips because recovery starts before you fly home. The exact timeline depends on the procedure: an eyelid surgery is faster than a tummy tuck, and combination surgery needs more recovery time. Here's roughly what to plan for.
Days 1-2, Arrival and pre-op
You meet the hospital or clinic medical team in person, complete pre-op tests (bloodwork, ECG, anesthesia clearance), confirm the surgical plan, and have new photos taken for the medical record.
Day 2-3, Surgery
Most procedures are done under general anesthesia, with an overnight stay at the hospital or clinic. Smaller procedures such as eyelid surgery can be day cases.
Days 4-10, Recovery on site
You stay nearby for monitored recovery, including wound checks, drain removal where needed, and clearance from the surgeon and anesthetist before you can fly. Plan 7 to 10 days on site for most procedures, 10 to 14 days for larger combined surgeries.
Weeks 2-6 and beyond, Follow-up at home
Aftercare continues through the app: scheduled photo check-ins, recovery questions, and surgeon messages. How long the final result takes depends on the procedure, and it is one of the things to ask the team treating you. Rhinoplasty is the slowest: the American Society of Plastic Surgeons notes that initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, but it may take up to a year for the new nasal contour to fully refine.
Before-and-after photos from our network are coming soon, as we collect consented patient cases. Until then, the clinic team can share examples of their previous work directly during your planning call.
Reviews from European patients in our plastic surgery network
I had been thinking about a nose job for years but kept putting it off. The video call with the surgeon was the moment I felt this was actually possible, he was honest about what would work for my face and what wouldn't.
After two kids my body had changed in ways diet and exercise couldn't undo. Getting tummy tuck, breast lift and liposuction in one trip was the right choice for me. The surgeon talked me through the recovery realistically, no sugar-coating. I'm so glad I did this.
I just wanted to look less tired. The price at home was almost three times what I paid through Rehealth, and the hospital was spotless. People kept saying I looked "well rested".

What's the difference between a free planning call and a paid second opinion?
The free planning call connects you with the hospital or clinic team to discuss the procedure, costs, and travel logistics. It is not a medical consultation. A paid second opinion connects you with a licensed plastic surgeon who reviews your case and gives you a structured medical perspective on whether the procedure is right for you, what alternatives exist, and what to expect.
Is plastic surgery abroad safe?
It can be, when you choose a verified hospital or clinic and a qualified surgeon. Every hospital, clinic, and plastic surgeon in our network is reviewed and verified by our medical advisory board before joining. Partners follow international surgical standards, anesthesia protocols, and post-op monitoring. The risks of plastic surgery abroad come mostly from booking through unverified channels and from rushing into procedures without proper assessment, not from the destination itself. Most current patients travel to our partners in Turkey, where plastic surgery standards are well established.
What happens if I'm not happy with the result or need a revision?
Revision terms are set by the hospital, not by us, and they differ from one partner to another. Ask the team directly during your video consultation what a revision would cover, within what period it applies, and what falls outside it. Ask to have the answer in writing before you commit to anything. Aesthetic results take time to settle (months, not weeks), so revisions are normally only considered once healing is complete. Your surgeon stays reachable through the Rehealth app for photo follow-ups and discussions about whether a revision is appropriate.
What happens if I have a complication after I return home?
Your surgeon stays reachable through the Rehealth app for routine recovery questions. If something more serious comes up, contact your home-country GP or an emergency service first; their assessment, photos, and notes can then be shared with your surgeon abroad so the care is coordinated. The hospital or clinic where you were operated remains responsible for the post-operative care that's part of their plan.
How long do I need to stay abroad for plastic surgery?
For smaller procedures like eyelid surgery, plan for about 5 to 7 days on site. For breast surgery, rhinoplasty, or liposuction, plan 7 to 10 days. For tummy tuck or combination procedures like a mommy makeover, plan 10 to 14 days. You should not fly home before your surgeon and anesthetist have cleared you, which usually involves a final wound check and removal of drains if any.
Will my insurance cover any of this?
Most aesthetic plastic surgery (cosmetic rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, facelift, eyelid surgery for purely cosmetic reasons) is not reimbursed by EU public or private insurers. Reconstructive procedures (breast reconstruction after mastectomy, scar revision, post-trauma reconstruction, functional rhinoplasty for breathing problems, breast reduction with documented back or shoulder issues) may be partially covered, depending on your insurer's policy and the medical indication. Contact your insurer before you travel to confirm what they will and will not reimburse.
Can I combine multiple procedures in one trip?
Yes, this is very common (for example a mommy makeover, or rhinoplasty with chin contouring). Whether combining is safe in your case is a medical decision the surgeon makes based on your overall health, the operating time, and the recovery profile of each procedure. Some combinations are routine; others are split into two trips for safety reasons.
How do I pay?
Payment is made directly to the hospital or clinic, usually by card or bank transfer at the time of surgery. Some partners accept partial payment up front and the rest after completion. Your planning call covers payment options and what's included in the quoted price (anesthesia, hospital stay, garments, follow-up, accommodation) in detail, before you commit to anything.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes, and for plastic surgery we strongly encourage it. Traveling with a partner, family member, or close friend makes recovery much easier, especially in the first few days after surgery. They're not part of the surgical cost, but the coordinator can help with accommodation suggestions for both of you.
What about the language barrier?
Language support differs from one hospital to another. Each hospital and clinic profile lists the languages they offer, and you can filter by language when choosing your hospital or clinic. For surgery this matters more than for routine care, since you'll be discussing risks, anesthesia, and aftercare.
How do you select your hospitals, clinics, and surgeons?
Every potential partner is reviewed by our medical advisory board before joining the network. The review covers the surgical credentials of the team, the facilities and equipment, anesthesia and ICU support, sterilization protocols, and the track record on outcomes, complications, and patient communication.
What if I'm not ready to commit yet?
That's fine, and for plastic surgery it's often the right approach. The planning call is free and carries no obligation. Many patients book a call months (or longer) before they actually plan to travel, just to understand their options, the recovery, and the budget. You can come back any time when you feel ready.
