The Decline of Medical Tourism: Why Follow-Up Care Matters More Than Ever
Episode 488
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026
Medical tourism once promised faster, cheaper cosmetic procedures—but in 2026, that trend is rapidly declining. In this episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis explains why more patients are turning away from overseas surgery, especially for procedures like hair transplants, body contouring, and post–weight loss treatments. While the procedure itself may look appealing upfront, the lack of follow-up care, communication, and long-term planning often leaves patients frustrated—or seeking corrective treatment back home. Dr. Davis breaks down why plastic surgery is never “one and done”, how healing timelines and maintenance impact final results, and why procedures like hair restoration and skin tightening require months of guided care. He also connects this trend to GLP-1 weight loss medications, menopause-related skin changes, and the growing need for proactive, longitudinal treatment plans. If you’re considering surgery—locally or abroad—this episode explains why continuity of care may be the most important part of your result.
