Plastic Surgery FAQ — Egypt (2026)

The photo-based surgical consultation costs $25 (one-time). You send photos and a short medical history, a named board-certified Cairo surgeon reviews the case, and you receive a written recommendation plus a fixed written quote within 48 hours — no obligation to book.

At Doktorly's 2026 list: €2,530–3,025 (≈ $2,700–3,300) including a hospital night, splint, medications and follow-ups. The same operation runs £5,000–7,000 privately in the UK, and 10–20% above UK levels in Germany.

The named surgeon's work, anaesthesia, one hospital night, splint or compression garments, standard medications and follow-up appointments. Flights and accommodation are separate — the trip cost calculator covers those.

Plan 5–7 days after rhinoplasty (splint off on day 7), 7–10 days after liposuction, and 10–14 days after a tummy tuck or mommy makeover. The surgeon confirms when you are fit to fly — nobody should book a 3-day cosmetic surgery trip.

Board-certified Cairo plastic surgeons. In the written recommendation you get the named surgeon for your procedure before you book — not a generic partner-clinic reply.

Nineteen procedure types: breast augmentation, lift and reduction; liposuction and lipedema surgery; abdominoplasty; facelift; rhinoplasty; otoplasty; upper and lower eyelids; upper arm lift; hair transplant; endolift; BBL; mommy makeover; gynecomastia; labiaplasty; chin and jaw contouring.

Typically 50–85% against the UK and 40–90% against the euro zone — with fixed written quotes instead of estimates. Turkey competes at similar headline levels; check whether its quotes include the surgeon's time and garments.

Pre-op testing (mammogram or breast ultrasound, abdominal ultrasound) is arranged before surgery in licensed facilities. Operations take place in licensed Egyptian facilities with an ISAPS- or Egyptian-Board-level surgeon. Every case gets a written report and structured follow-up after you fly home.

Yes — most patients recover at the Red Sea (Hurghada, El Gouna, Sharm El Sheikh) instead of a city hotel. A combined dental plus aesthetic trip in one stay can also be planned.

Free: upload photos and describe the treatment in the Send-your-case form, or book the $25 consultation directly. Either way you get a named specialist and a fixed quote within 48 hours.
