Why consider Israel for plastic surgery?
The peculiarity of Israeli plastic surgery is the use of modern technology, which guarantees high efficiency of procedures and minimizes the risks of complications. Clinics in Israel are famous for their skillful surgeons, many of whom have international experience and recognition. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensure excellent results in procedures such as rhinoplasty, mammoplasty, abdominoplasty and many others.
The militaristic experience has greatly influenced the work of plastic surgeons in Israel, expanding their knowledge and skills. This was especially reflected in the quality of reconstructive surgery in the face and body after mechanical injuries and burns. In an environment where surgeons have dealt with serious trauma for long periods, they have gained unique experience in correcting complex deformities and external wounds.
This experience is being applied in civilian plastic surgery. Israeli surgeons use advanced techniques to perform reconstructive surgeries to restore or enhance appearance. They apply knowledge and techniques developed and refined in military medicine.
What is known about the Israeli Community of Plastic Surgeons?
Plastic surgery in Israel originated during the War of Independence in 1948. Dr. Jack Penn, head of the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of Johannesburg, made several trips to Israel with his medical team to treat wounded people in the war. Dr. Penn was assisted by Leo Bornstein, who was the founder of plastic surgery in Israel and, along with other specialists (Drs. Hirshovitz, Ben-Gur, Neuman and Kaplan), were recognized as pioneers of plastic surgery in the country.
The emblem of the ISPS (Israeli Society of Plastic Surgeons) was created in 1956. The words on the emblem were taken from the book of the prophet Isaiah and reflect the philosophy of plastic and reconstructive surgery as the founders saw it. Translated from Hebrew, they read, “Let every mountain be made low, the crooked become straight, and the rough places become level.” A figurative design adorns the Community’s official certificate and includes a tree sprout surrounded by a coiling snake, symbolizing life.
What are the prices for plastic surgery in Israel?
By world standards, the prices for plastic surgery in Israel are not the most affordable. For example, compared to Turkey or South Korea, the price for cosmetic surgery procedures in Israel will be on average 50% higher. At the same time, plastic surgery of the face or body can cost 30% cheaper than in clinics in the United States.
What does the price of plastic surgery in Israel depend on?
Services of the surgeon, the purchase price of consumables, and the length of stay in the hospital – are the main components of the price of plastic surgery in Israel and any other country. If we consider the situation in the example of breast augmentation, the cost of only implants from the famous firm Mentor will be from $1000. Here, the clinic will add the fees of the medical team that will perform the operation. Accordingly, the status and popularity of the plastic surgeon himself will also affect the final cost of mammoplasty.
