About this episode
Greg Lemon is co-founder of CosMediTour in Sydney. Cosmetic tourism arranges cosmetic operations for patients abroad, often at a fraction of the cost, with Thailand currently Australia's most popular destination.
We explore how and why CosMediTour was set up and ask the important questions: is it safe, why do it and what happens if something goes wrong? We cover hospital standards and accreditation, media controversy, patient screening and virtual consultations, cooling-off periods, why surgery costs less overseas, managing complications and revision care, and a newer service helping patients find nationally recognised plastic surgeons within Australia at an affordable price.
