Common questions
Where is the cheapest place to get facelift?
Of the five most popular destinations, published prices are lowest in Mexico: $4,000–$8,000 (£3,028–£6,057). What's included differs — hotel, transfers, hospital stay and follow-up — so compare like for like.
Is it safe to have surgery abroad?
Check the surgeon's qualifications and the clinic's licence, plan for aftercare when you're home, and remember that standard travel insurance doesn't cover planned surgery. FairWait compares prices; it doesn't recommend clinics or give medical advice.
