Why consider Germany for medical tourism?

Germany has so much to offer you simply as a tourist, from endless forests and wildlife, to some of Europe’s most exciting cities. It is also famous for its many beers, such as Franconia and Wheat beer from Bavaria, Kölsch from Cologne as well as often under rated red and white wines. The “Oktoberfest” beer festival in Munich is world renowned and offers the chance to enjoy not only flowing Steins of beer, but also the varied traditional cuisine of sausages, Stollen cake and rich gateaux.

Contrary to the charicature of the ever efficient, businesslike German, the population, especially in the medieval towns, enjoys life to the full, with a host of festivals and cultural events. Much of rural Germany takes life far less seriously than their industrial city counterparts, and you will find a warm welcome wherever you go.

Private cosmetic surgeons operate in the major cities and health care standards in Germany are considered to be high, with surgeons undergoing many years of intensive study and training in order to practice. The University of Bonn medical centre hospital, for example, is a modern, state of the art facility and internationally renowned for its surgical and medical expertise.

English is widely spoken and understood in Germany and while prices for cosmetic surgery may not be as competitive as in other European or far flung destinations, the cost of travel, accommodation, food and drink is generally cheaper than in the UK. Many providers offer initial and follow up consultations in London which eases the whole process for the patient and savings can still be made. In a UK private hospital rhinoplasty (cosmetic nose surgery), for example, can cost up to £4,000 while the price of the same procedure in Germany is likely to be around £3,400. Breast augmentation can cost up to £5,000 in the UK, but in Germany, it is £3,000.
