Compare costs

Why people go, and where.

Cost data reviewed August 2026

Search or filter to find a procedure, then see how the cost abroad compares with the United States or the United Kingdom, country by country.

Dental

Why people go: implant and restoration work priced per tooth at home, per case abroad.

Dental implant (single tooth)

Implant, abutment and crown. Bone grafting is usually quoted separately.

Dental veneers (per tooth)

Porcelain veneers, per tooth. Composite veneers cost less but wear out and need replacing sooner.

Full-arch dental restoration

Four to six implants with a fixed bridge, per arch.

Cosmetic surgery

Why people go: elective procedures with no insurance coverage, so the full cost is visible upfront.

Rhinoplasty

Primary procedure. Revision work is priced differently everywhere.

Hair transplant

Typically quoted per graft. Ranges assume 2,000 to 3,500 grafts.

Breast augmentation

Implants and surgery. Revision or removal is priced separately.

Tummy tuck / lipo-contouring

Standard abdominoplasty. Combined procedures (liposuction, muscle repair) shift the range.

Orthopedic surgery

Why people go: joint replacement with a waiting list at home and a fixed price abroad.

Total knee replacement

Surgeon, implant and hospital stay. Physiotherapy is often extra.

Weight-loss surgery

Why people go: bariatric surgery that is often excluded from insurance entirely.

Gastric sleeve

Surgery and hospital stay. Follow-up nutrition support varies widely.

Hidden costs to watch for

The ranges above are for the procedure itself. Ask about these before you compare one quote against another.

Flights and accommodation

Rarely included in a clinic's quoted price. Factor in your own travel, plus a companion's if you're bringing one.

Pre-op tests and consultations

Bloodwork, imaging, or a screening consultation before the clinic will confirm your quote — sometimes billed separately.

Anesthesia and facility fees

Some clinics quote the surgeon's fee alone. Ask what the headline number does and doesn't include before you compare it to another country.

Medication after you leave

Painkillers, antibiotics, or ongoing prescriptions post-procedure, which you may need to source once you're back home.

Follow-up care and revisions

What happens if something needs a second look after you've left the country. Ask about this before you book, not after.

Interpreter and companion costs

If you don't speak the local language, a professional interpreter for consultations and consent forms is worth budgeting for.
