A look a both cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery

<< Back to the Costa del Sol Guide

Over the last decade a range of clinics have opened on the Costa del Sol offering a range of cosmetic treatments. With the concentration of wealth on certain parts of the coast, many high quality clinics have opened easily rivals those of city clinics around Europe, but with the additional advantage of the healthy climate that has made the Costa del Sol such a popular destination.

With is reputation has the playground of the rich, Marbella has been one of the main areas for the cosmetic industry with a number of specialized cosmetic surgery clinics having opened in response to the demand, by both visitors and residents alike. With Marbella being such an international destination many of the clinics offers a wide array of cosmetic treatments and therapies, as well as general surgery.

All clinics offer a wide choice of plastic surgery treatments including breast surgery (reduction and enlargement), facial surgery, liposculpture and liposuction, skin surgeries and varicose vein removal. Even though the clinics do provide similar aesthetic and plastic surgery services, there can be variations in the methods and administration and it is best to consult directly with the clinic to determine, which clinic and treatment is best for you.

According to Spanish law it is only legal for cosmetic surgeons to do ‘superficial’ surgery. They may only operate on the skin and fat, but not muscle tissue. Another difference worth noting is that cosmetic surgeon need only be a general practitioner with non-official surgical training gain via workshops, etc...

Unlike cosmetic surgeons, plastic surgeons must spend an additional three years in practice and up to seven years in hospitals. The practice itself is overseen by European law which demands strict registration processes and monitoring the surgeries. So not only to patients benefit from a first-class service, but get to benefit from a first-class environment.
