A potent combination of the high and increasing cost of living in the UK and the ever-present scare stories of bungled surgeries in Turkey (https://europesurgery.co.uk/cosmetic-surgery-in-turkey-or-poland/ ) have contributed to the rising popularity of Poland as the country of choice for high quality; low priced cosmetic surgery.
Only a short, easily available and cheap flight away, Poland has many advantages over its international competitors in attracting cosmetic surgery patients from the UK. Most UK citizens now have Polish neighbours; their children have Polish school friends and Poland feels familiar and safe. A flight can cost as little as £30, takes 2 hours and the climate is similar – if a little better in Poland.
An excellent example to illustrate this growing trend in UK citizens travelling for cosmetic surgery from the UK to Poland is ‘Europe Surgery’ (https://europesurgery.co.uk ) in Wroclaw, Poland’s thriving 3rd largest city.
The clinic’s surgeon, Dr Adam Kalecinski, trained in the UK and has worked solely as lead surgeon in the field of cosmetic surgery for over 25 years at his clinic in Wroclaw.
As well as the usual surgical menu of tummy tucks, breast implants, facelifts and liposuction, Dr Adam is a market leader in the provision of ‘Top Surgery’ (https://europesurgery.co.uk/female-to-male-surgery/ ) for trans-men who wish to have breasts removed in order to embrace their chosen gender identity. Five years ago, Top Surgery would account for around 6 patients per year, now it is more like 6 per month and growing. Dr Adam has become well-known on social media platforms such as Tik-Tok and Instagram with many of his Top surgery patients sharing their positive feedback.
To compliment the range of cosmetic procedures on offer, an experienced gynaecologist surgical partner provides ‘designer vagina’ (https://europesurgery.co.uk/gynaecology-surgery/ ) procedures which are increasingly popular for UK based female clients.
On visiting the clinic, the cleanliness and professionalism is immediately apparent and staff speak excellent English – even being able to navigate the plethora of UK accents from Geordie, Glaswegian; through Liverpudlian, native Cardiff and ‘Brummie’ …. It never ceases to surprise me how we UK citizens continue in our unpolished local accents, even when overseas, and expect to be fully understood…
The clinic’s processes of greeting at reception, in person consultation with their surgeon, blood tests, surgical scheduling, procedure and recovery work seamlessly throughout the day.
From the usual array of well-known cosmetic procedures, the clinic also offers hair transplant surgery, weight loss surgery and even dentistry, So – if you feel in need of a personal MOT – Wroclaw Poland is only day trip away
Poland is becoming a popular destination for affordable cosmetic surgery abroad due to several key factors:

- Medical Tourism Infrastructure: The country has developed a strong medical tourism sector, providing a range of services such as airport transfers, translation services, and accommodation packages that make the experience smoother for foreign patients.
- Proximity to Western Europe: Poland’s location makes it easily accessible for travelers from nearby countries, reducing travel costs and making it an attractive option for those seeking high-quality cosmetic surgery without the hassle of long-distance travel.
Conclusion: With affordable prices, excellent medical standards, and a strong medical tourism infrastructure, Poland has become a top destination for those seeking quality cosmetic surgery abroad.
