The Korea MTS Limited has offered state-of-the-art plastic surgery at reasonable costs for Bangladesh citizens at different hospitals in South Korea.
The offer was made recently at a seminar in the city, where noted plastic surgeon Dr Lee SangWook made presentations on plastic surgery and hair implantation through natural process. Beauticians, celebrities, cosmetic surgery experts and journalists joined the programme. The offer came following the Republic of Korea (ROK) opened its market for medical tourism in 2009 and its private hospitals came forward to attract Bangladesh clients for world-class treatment in Korea.
"The market for plastic surgery is growing because of Bangladesh's economic development and beauty consciousness among female and male both," head of Korea MTS Limited Saiful Islam says. He says now many people go to India, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore as well as in the West for plastic surgery. These people, he says, can have better surgery with almost no side affects at a reasonable cost in South Korea. Mr. Saiful also informed that the cost for one hair implantation in Korea would be $1, which is $10 in the US and $7 in Singapore and $3-5 in other Southeast Asian countries.
