Abstract
Dealing with Acute Complications of Aesthetic Surgery Procedures Performed Abroad: Cost Analysis for the Swiss Health System Abstract. Aesthetic surgery tourism is a growing phenomenon, with a steady increase of people travelling abroad for surgical procedures. In our hospital, a relevant number of patients consulted the emergency department for complications after cosmetic surgery performed in foreign countries. This progressively increasing trend leads to multiple outpatient clinic consultations and surgical re-operations. We investigated this phenomenon at Lausanne University Hospital from May 2015 to December 2018, with the aim to give a review of the surgical and hospital care costs, finally affecting the Swiss insurance system.
