Breast reduction has now become the second most popular cosmetic surgery procedure after breast augmentation or enhancement. According to the latest figures available from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons over 43,000 breast reduction procedures were performed in the USA alone in 2018.
What is breast reduction surgery? Breast reduction surgery, which is also known as reduction mammoplasty is a procedure whereby the surgeon extracts excess breast fat, skin and tissue so that the breast is more in proportion with the rest of the body. The breast is then re-shaped and the areola and nipple re-sited as appropriate. The whole procedure is done under local anaesthetic and takes 2-3 hours. Patients may often have to spend one or two nights in hospital.
Where the excessive size of a woman’s breasts is affecting her life, either physically or psychologically, it is sometimes possible to have the operation paid for by the NHS. However with the recent Covid-19 epidemic the waiting time for non-life-threatening conditions is getting longer and longer. Many prospective patients are, therefore, turning to privately funded surgery, often in countries where prices are considerably less than in the UK.
When it comes to plastic surgery, Poland is one of the forerunners in Europe. Its considerably lower cost of living combined with well-trained doctors means that its popularity as a centre for cosmetic surgery is constantly growing. Cosmetic surgery and specifically breast reduction in Poland has been very popular and now with the loosening of Covid restrictions in Europe, surgery Poland-based is again taking off.
For those people who only google ‘breast reduction surgery near me’ it most definitely pays to widen the net and consider plastic surgery in Poland. Not only is, in Poland, cosmetic surgery cheaper than in many countries in western Europe, the service provided is also excellent. Indeed as long ago as 2014 the Daily Mail branded Poland as the top European hotspot for breast surgery and in 2018 the Evening Standard listed Poland as one of the top European destinations for cosmetic surgery.
The aim of this article is to look in more detail at plastic surgery – Poland style, but, in particular breast reduction or mammoplasty. The following sections investigate safety issues, doctors’ training and the clinics which offer breast reduction. It is definitely worth considering the merits of cosmetic surgery Poland. Let’s look at some of these benefits.
Although it is sometimes possible, for medical reasons, to obtain NHS breast reduction surgery, UK waiting lists are extremely long. This is why many patients who want this surgery either for medical or aesthetic reasons turn to clinics providing private breast reduction UK based or abroad.
When it comes to breast reduction, UK prices are very high. Depending on the exact nature of the procedure and the location (some areas e.g. London are naturally more expensive than others) average costs are around £6,000. It may be possible to find clinics offering this procedure cheaper but it pays to be wary of cheap breast reduction, not all UK clinics are regulated and due to the explosion in aesthetic plastic surgery, UK clinics have sprung up with little control over the services they offer. In addition to the financial benefits, this is another reason why many prospective patients turn to medical tourism. However, it must be said that for many people the huge difference in breast reduction cost Poland offers, is the main reason which tempts patients to go abroad for the procedure.
Is Poland cheap when it comes to breast reduction costs? A lower cost of living means that the equivalent plastic surgery in Poland costs around 50% less than in the UK. A lower cost of living means that the staff, including doctors’, salaries are lower, the maintenance of buildings is much lower and the general cost of equipment and supplies is also much lower. For people living in Poland, plastic surgery prices are extremely high because their salaries are so much lower. However, for those people coming from, particularly, western Europe, the Middle East and USA, where the average salary is much higher, this means that for plastic surgery in Poland prices are much lower. How much does it cost for breast reduction in Poland? Similarly to the UK, prices vary somewhat between clinics and areas of the country, nevertheless for plastic surgery Poland prices will always be significantly cheaper than the UK. For the average breast reduction cost, Poland prices start at around £3000 – £3500 – a fantastic saving on UK prices.
Is it safe to have breast reduction abroad? Any medical procedure carries a minimal risk, both in the UK and overseas. One important factor to consider is the ease with which it is possible to make a return trip to a surgeon in the highly unlikely event that this may be possible. This is where European countries with frequent flight schedules from the UK win hands down. However, this is a very pessimistic and rare occurrence. Breast reduction surgery is typically regarded as safe, with a slight increase in risks for the over 50s according the the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Is it safe to have plastic surgery in Poland? There is no evidence to support that patients are at greater risk by having plastic surgery in Poland, providing all the normal checks are carried out, such as checks on the surgeon, the breast reduction clinics and, where possible, references from previous patients. All of this, of course, should also be done when considering plastic surgery in the UK. The Care Quality Commission regulates cosmetic treatments that involve surgery in the UK, however there are still illegal clinics operating. In Poland all clinics are strictly regulated by the Department of Health.
The best plastic surgeon for breast reduction is the one who has a wealth of experience in this particular surgery. Plastic surgeons can, in fact, perform a variety of different surgeries but it pays to find one who specialises in breast reduction. Some of the best breast reduction surgeons can be found in Poland. In breast reduction abroad reviews Poland consistently emerges as one of the top destinations for this type of surgery. Better not to always think ‘breast reduction near me’, but remember that ‘cheap breast reduction’ does not always mean inferior surgery. If you are considering Poland, surgery may be cheap but no corners are cut in delivering the best to the patient.
First, let’s consider the pros and cons of breast reduction. There is no doubt that for women with large, heavy breasts, it can literally feel that a huge weight has been lifted from their chest. There will also be some relief from shoulder, back and neck pain and exercising will be easier. In addition a breast reduction automatically includes a breast lift. Are there any downsides? Generally, breast reduction cons are mainly connected with those associated with any surgery – anaesthetic risks, short term pain and scarring as well as, in some cases, decreased nipple sensation.
Having decided on this surgery the next step is to check breast reduction NHS-funded. As mentioned earlier, this is only carried out when a real medical need can be made for it and then it is a question of going to the end of a long waiting list. Many people are not prepared to wait for NHS breast reduction. Although this breast reduction NHS waiting list, falling into the non-urgent consultant-led treatments, should be no longer than 18 weeks, the recent COVID-19 crisis means that, in actual fact, the waiting lists are considerably longer than this.
Maybe the next step is to consider private breast reduction; UK breast reduction clinics abound. Everybody is out for a bargain but searching for cheap breast reduction UK may not be the wisest move. Cheap breast reduction could involve unregulated clinics, so it is best to find reputable clinics and surgeons, maybe those belonging to medical groups e.g. BUPA and Nuffield Health among others.
The final step is to check out breast reduction abroad reviews. Here we can see that Poland consistently appears in the top countries for breast reduction and, in addition, offers exceptional prices. What other reasons are there for choosing Poland?
Nearly every country boasts that they have the best breast reduction surgeons, and, indeed, there are many excellent surgeons all over the world.
The training for plastic surgeons in Poland is one of the longest. Firstly, it is necessary to undertake a 6-year medical degree followed by an internship of one to two years. In order to specialise the doctor must then take a degree in plastic surgery which can take eight to ten years. Some doctors choose to do their additional training in other European countries e.g. the UK or Germany and so may gain further qualifications from these countries. Indeed, taking the NHS service as a whole, Polish nationals are only second to the Irish in terms of non-British European workers. The two main organisations for plastic surgeons in Poland are: the Polish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (Polskie Towarzystwo Chirurgii Plastycznej, Rekonstrukcyjnej i Estetycznej) and the International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
As we can see, Poland can compete with the best surgeons in the UK, and, with its popularity as a country specialising in plastic surgery, with some of the best plastic surgeons in the world.
Where are the best the plastic surgeons in Poland based? Like any other country, some of the top surgeons in Poland are based in the capital, Warsaw. However, with its plethora of teaching hospitals and medical schools, some of the best breast reduction surgeons can be found in many other cities and regions. The best surgeons in Poland can actually be found all around the country.
Looking for the best plastic surgeon for breast reduction? Poland can offer some of the best plastic surgeons in Europe and, indeed, the world.
When it comes to medical treatment abroad, Poland is extremely well organised. Most clinics and/or agents offer a slick service with a package that includes transfers to/from the airport, additional hotel accommodation as required for the patient or an accompanying partner, as well as the full treatment and stay in the clinic. Many clinics will want to see the patient two or three times after the surgery, so they may suggest staying in a nearby hotel after the surgery. The only additions, usually, are the flights to/from Poland.
Although Poland is not an English speaking country, English is widely spoken. Children learn English at nursery school and it is a compulsory subject for all school and university courses. English in Poland is seen as a necessity for anybody working professionally and certainly all staff in medical centres can speak it fluently. English speaking doctors in Poland mean that there are no misunderstandings and the patient can be safe in the knowledge that their needs are being met without going through an interpreter.
For medical tourism, after the UK’s exit from the EU, it is advisable to take out medical travel insurance. This is a specialist travel medical insurance, but Poland can be included on this policy without a problem. Medical tourism companies may be able to help with this.
In Poland medical tourism is flourishing so that many companies now package their offer as a breast reduction holiday, but, as with any medical bookings, it is still wise to check out the clinic and the surgeon. However, adding a holiday onto a breast reduction procedure is a very nice way of taking some ‘me’ time and, of seeing some of this beautiful country. It’s up to the patient when, in relation to their holiday, they decide to have the surgery. Both good communication and organisation mean that when it comes to medical tourism Poland is an excellent choice.
One more good reason to consider Poland as a location for breast reduction surgery is the high standard of its very modern plastic surgery clinics. Modern medical equipment means that surgeons are able to use some of the most modern techniques for surgery. The plastic surgery clinics in Poland are all well-appointed and, at the very least, comparable with those plastic surgery clinics UK based and even, in some cases, offer a better experience than in the UK.
What is a modern clinic? A modern health clinic, providing 24-hour care by qualified medical staff, should provide post-operative rooms with the latest quality equipment for monitoring the patient’s vital signs. Hospital rooms should be pleasant and well-appointed so that the patient can begin their road to full recovery in the most comfortable surroundings. Additionally, some clinics of plastic surgery in Poland also offer accommodation for somebody to accompany the patient. Where this is not available there will be an agreement with a hotel based close to the clinic to provide accommodation at competitive prices. It is fair to say that with clinics providing the latest medical equipment, Poland has some of the best best-equipped medical facilities.
Many Polish cities can offer top-class breast reduction surgery. Obviously, some of the best plastic surgery clinics in Poland are to be found in Warsaw, however there are many other very good establishments in other parts of Poland. It is difficult to choose the best plastic surgery clinic in Poland as so many of them have such high standards and great reviews. So, what are the best places to visit in Poland?
As the capital city, Warsaw has much to offer. It is a vibrant and modern city, however a visit to the old city part, which was completely rebuilt after WW2, is a must. There are modern shopping centres and hotels to suit everyone’s pocket. The Palace of Culture, one of the iconic views of Warsaw, as well as the numerous museums like the Copernicus Science Centre are very interesting. As might be expected in Warsaw, plastic surgery clinics are the most numerous in this city and surrounding area. However as a centre for plastic surgery, Warsaw is not the only city worth considering.
Krakow is often described as Poland’s cultural capital. It is very bohemian and packed full of history. It thrives on its tourism business so it is not uncommon to hear English spoken on the streets. For a combined holiday break with plastic surgery Krakow is a great place to stay. The prestigious Jagiellonian University (the 13th oldest university in the world) has its own medical school so Krakow is a great place to find some of the best plastic surgeons in Poland. For cosmetic surgery Krakow Poland is a winner.
Wroclaw (pronounced Vrotswav) is another vibrant Polish city. Located on the western side of the country near the German border, Wroclaw has seen massive growth as a commercial centre over the last 20 years. However, it has still retained its olde world charm and is considered one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Poland. In addition, having surgery in a Wroclaw plastic surgery clinic also offers the opportunity of a holiday break in the beautiful Stolowe Mountains National Park.
When considering Warsaw, Krakow or even plastic surgery in Wroclaw, Poland has much to offer besides superb clinic amenities and excellent medical staff. In Poland, city after city can offer a great holiday break.
Naturally it pays to check out other people’s opinions about any cosmetic surgery and this is where breast reduction stories are helpful, always bearing in mind, of course, some entries are either sponsored or not completely unbiased. However, a comparison with a number of breast reduction stories from patients, will help to give a balanced view. In addition to these personal stories it is always worth checking out the webpages giving breast reduction reviews UK as well as any breast reduction forum UK such as patient.info, among others.
More specifically, of course, there are also several sites offering plastic surgery Poland reviews. These are also very helpful and some of them can be really informative especially when they are written by patients who have experienced breast reduction in Poland first hand. Another important source of information are breast reduction images, which can give some idea of the possibilities available. Indeed, once a particular surgeon is chosen they will often be able to offer their own ‘before and after’ pictures.
The Internet is a great resource when used correctly, so check out those plastic surgery in Poland reviews!
It goes without saying that Poland is not the only country which can offer breast reduction. Clinics in places as far flung as Turkey, Czechia, Belgium, Mexico and Thailand, among other places, can also offer their clients good prices for breast reduction surgery.
Breast reduction surgery in Thailand and breast reduction in Mexico are both interesting propositions especially when it comes to combining the surgery with a holiday break. Prices for both countries are around the same price as for Poland, with Thailand slightly cheaper. There is, of course, the cost of flights to be added to this cost which would be higher than to Poland. Like Poland, both countries can offer well-equipped clinics catering for foreign visitors with English widely spoken in medical establishments. Due to its proximity, Mexico is a firm favourite for plastic surgery with the Americans.
Another possible place for breast reduction, Belgium, has the advantage of being very near to the UK as well as being accessible by train via the Eurotunne a good option for those who dislike flying. In Belgium, being the home of the EU, English is widely spoken in all walks of life. The cost of surgery is a little higher than in Poland, Thailand and Mexico, however this can be offset by the ease of travelling between the UK and Belgium.
Prague is another possible contender as a suitable location for plastic surgery. Poland’s southerly neighbour also has well-trained doctors and, of course, a lower cost of living than many western European countries. When it comes to breast reduction, Prague prices are about the same as in the Polish cities and it offers the opportunity of getting to know one of the most beautiful European capital cities.
Like Poland, Turkey’s popularity as a centre for all sorts of plastic surgery has soared in recent years. Again, for breast reduction, Turkey prices are around the same as in Poland. Travel is slightly longer than to countries in western and central Europe, so flight prices may be a little higher. However, in addition to breast reduction surgery, Turkey can offer some very nice holidays along its Mediterranean and Aegean coasts. Private clinics and medical centres are government regulated and English is widely spoken in the more reputable establishments. For surgery involving breast reduction, Turkey is well-established as one of the countries of choice.
Breast reduction in Turkey, as well as the other countries mentioned above, is well worth considering if Poland is not your first choice.
Breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty has, over the years, become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures. For some women, the size of their breasts can actually cause physical difficulties, for others it’s a question of aesthetics and feeling better about themselves. It is not easy to obtain this surgery ‘free of charge’ on the NHS and post-COVID waiting lists are extremely long.
Many women are turning to the private medicine sector for their breast reduction surgery. UK prices vary but average at about £6,000. However, savings of 50% plus can be made by having the same surgery abroad.
A popular country for breast reduction surgery is Poland. Its low cost of living enables highly skilled surgeons to offer the same standards of service as in the UK for a much lower cost. Every year many women return from Poland pleasantly surprised at just how high the level of service is and how easy it is to arrange. Friendly, English-speaking medical staff and well-equipped medical centres are the norm.
Agencies like ClinicHunter can help select the best surgeons in Poland for each individual’s needs, or, indeed, suggest other appropriate countries like Turkey or Czechia.
