Why Lebanon?
People from all over the world have long come to Lebanon for all sorts of surgeries given the excellent medical standards of Lebanese physicians, hospitals and medical centers, attractive prices, as well as a well-founded reputation for hospitality and entertainment.
The Good Looks
As a warm sunny Mediterranean country, it’s no overstatement to say that it’s bikini season in Lebanon pretty much over 8 months of the year, and, as such, Lebanese citizens tend to pay more attention to their appearance, lifestyle, bodies, and diet. It’s a country where even men have skincare routines and undergo laser hair removal for their bodies. Some would say Lebanese sure are vain, but they take no offense to it! To them, “To feel good inside is to be beautiful on the outside”. This is what prompted Lebanon to become one of the best destinations for plastic surgery and medical tourism.
The Expertise
Lebanon has always been a leading platform for medical healthcare and cosmetic surgery in the MENA region, and Beirut has long been known to have the highest concentration of plastic surgeons, all of them with impeccable track records and international board certifications. 103 plastic surgeons are registered in the Lebanese Society of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery (LSPRAS), and another 17 plastic surgeons are registered in the Association of Plastic Surgeons of Lebanese Descent (APSLD). They are board certified and well positioned to be leaders in their specialties and are well sought for, not only in Lebanon, but in the whole region as well, for their reputation of excellent results and worldwide credibility. Our medical facilities are also state of the art, compliant with the highest industry standards, ISO Certified and accredited according to latest evidence and international best practices and also comply with International Society for Quality in Healthcare (ISQua) requirements.
The Prices
With plenty of highly skilled surgeons and physicians, health care in Lebanon is an attractive prospect and costs are significantly lower than in most developed countries. Due to the economic crisis Lebanon is witnessing lately, the financials have become unbeaten in this country; you can have the most competitive rates for hospitality, accommodation, tourism, hospitalization, surgery, treatment, post-treatment, and healthcare, compared to all other countries renowned for plastic surgery, whether in the GCC, Turkey, USA, Australia, Europe, or the Asian world…
Prices became half of what they were if not lower, but the healthcare system hasn’t compromised on quality and remains one of the best systems worldwide. Surgery now costs less than a third of what it costs in the US and Europe, and is now even cheaper than Turkey, but with the same quality, expertise, and board certifications of Lebanese Physicians and healthcare teams. Rhinoplasty starts at 1000$ nowadays, and breast augmentation at 2500$. Beat that!
The Ethics
The 4th of August port explosion has shattered Beirut, destroyed its buildings, killed more than 200 people, and badly injured more than 4000! On that day, and just like on many other occasions, Lebanese Doctors proved to be the most compassionate, selfless, professional, and ethical ever!
They all rushed from all corners of the country and from all specialties, to what remained standing of our hospitals, and treated more than 4 thousand injured people in 24 hours. Plastic surgery clinics as well as all other types of clinics were all opened and converted to treat thousands of wounds and never seen before scars.

The Tourism
Known as the “Switzerland of the Middle East” in tourism, Lebanon is one of the most dynamic healthcare markets in the Arab region and the world, making it an international destination for those seeking medical tourism. In addition to that, Lebanon has many different types of tourism including leisure tourism as a predominant type, but also sports tourism, ecotourism, and others… From beaches, rivers, valleys, and exotic nightlife to mountain tops, forests, reserves, water sports and art exhibitions, all while enjoying a succulent cuisine, a hospitality like no other, and a variety of historical treasures such as the Roman Ruins in Baalbek, the Old Souks in Jbeil, cities such as Beirut, Tripoli, Tyr and Saida, and many more attractions. In 2009, The New York Times ranked Beirut the No. 1 travel destination worldwide due to its nightlife and hospitality, and since then the country has long been mentioned as the Tourism and Nightlife destination in the region.
The Hospitality
Thanks to its rich history, ethnic diversity, and the proximity of distance, language and culture, as well as excellent standards, Lebanon has always managed to attract and satisfy thousands of tourists and visitors. Resilient and friendly, Lebanese people offer a hospitality like no other. Just by saying hello, they can invite you for coffee, for a drink, for an outing, into their homes… Despite everything they’ve been and are still going through, and no matter the situation, Lebanese people are famous for enjoying life and knowing how to have a good time with their easy-going and always positive attitude. Also, with their tri-lingual abilities and love for helping others, it’s very easy to communicate with locals and get guidance and direction during your visit.
