Cost Comparison: Cosmetic Surgery in India vs. USA, UK, UAE, and Canada
In today’s globalized world, cosmetic surgery has become a personal investment—both emotionally and financially. For many Non-Resident Indians (international patients), choosing the right country to undergo a procedure is just as important as selecting the right surgeon.
India, in recent years, has emerged as a top destination for cosmetic surgery for international patients, not just because of the cultural familiarity, but because of the significant cost savings, world-class surgeons, and globally competitive outcomes. This blog takes a comprehensive look at how the costs of cosmetic surgery in India compare with those in the USA, UK, UAE, and Canada, and why Dr. Anmol Chugh is the preferred choice for discerning international patients.

India, by contrast, offers:
- Affordable, world-class treatments
- Zero wait times
- Highly experienced, internationally trained surgeons
- Hospitality and personalized care tailored to international patients
- Cultural comfort and language ease
