Cosmetic and plastic surgery costs were increased by 10% in Georgia due to the global price surge on the international market.
The price of plastic surgery procedures in Georgia varies by the clinics, but the average cost starts from GEL 2,000 and in some cases, it reaches GEL 35,000.
According to plastic surgeon Gia Gvaramia, if a small surgical intervention is required, the prices are lower, noting that it costs over GEL 500 to remove yellow spots from the eyes. However, if the plastic surgery is carried out under four-hour anesthesia, the price can amount to GEL 17,000.
"The price of breast plastic surgery starts from GEL 7,000 and reaches GEL 20,000. The cost of rhinoplasty ranges from GEL 2,500 to GEL 7,000," says plastic surgeon Gia Gvaramia.
Although for the Georgian market, plastic surgery is not considered low-budget, the difference compared to the international market is significant.
As Gia Gvaramia points out, quality service can be obtained in Georgia at 4 or 5 times cheaper than in Europe or the USA.
"If a breast plastic surgery here costs over USD 4,000, the price abroad ranges from USD 12,000 to USD 15,000. Of course, we can compete with Europe or USA with the quality as well", - Gia Gvaramia noted.
