Plastic Surgery Abroad: the Glam, the Risks, the Reality


Listen Later

In this episode of GlowJob, we’re diving into the world of medical tourism for cosmetic procedures—the viral “transformation vacations” that have people flying to South Korea, Turkey, Brazil, and Mexico for everything from nose jobs and BBLs to hair transplants and veneers.

We break down the costs, risks, and realities of going under the knife abroad, including the most popular destinations, shocking medical tourism statistics, and the hidden dangers—from botched surgeries and sepsis to the dark side of the organ black market.

Plus, we explore how TikTok and Instagram have made medical tourism look like the ultimate glow-up, and whether social media is setting unrealistic beauty expectations. And of course, we apply a little Girl Math to see if these procedures really save you money—or just cost you more in the long run.

Would you travel for cosmetic surgery? We share our takes, plus tips for staying safe if you’re considering it. Tune in for all the glam, the cautionary tales, and the unfiltered truth about medical tourism! ✈️💉
