If you need cosmetic surgery for medical reasons but are facing long waiting lists in Ireland, there’s a faster option. Many cosmetic procedures aren’t just about appearance—they can relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance your quality of life.

Through the EU Cross Border Directive, Irish patients can access world-class treatment in Spain and claim reimbursement from the HSE for eligible costs. This means you could have your surgery in weeks, not years, with highly experienced surgeons in top Spanish hospitals or clinics.

Is Your Cosmetic Surgery Medically Necessary?

Certain cosmetic surgeries are considered medically necessary when they help treat pain, mobility issues, or health complications. If you’re struggling with any of the following conditions, you could qualify for treatment abroad:

Breast Reduction

Suffering from chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain due to large breasts? A breast reduction can provide long-term relief and improve posture.

Skin Removal Surgery

If you’ve lost significant weight and now experience painful rashes, sores, or infections, removing excess skin isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s essential for comfort and hygiene.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Drooping eyelids can block vision and cause strain. Surgery can restore clear sight and ease discomfort.

Rhinoplasty or Septoplasty

If a deviated septum or nasal injury is making it hard to breathe, corrective surgery can improve airflow and overall well-being.

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Loose skin and weak abdominal muscles after pregnancy or weight loss can lead to posture problems, discomfort, and mobility issues. Surgery can restore function and improve confidence.

If your condition affects your health or daily life, you don’t have to wait years for surgery.

How the Cross Border Directive Works

The EU Cross Border Directive allows Irish patients to receive medical treatment in Spain without long waiting lists. You pay upfront, and the HSE reimburses you for eligible costs, meaning you can get the surgery you need now, without unnecessary delays.
