Medical tourism in Kenya has grown significantly in recent years, and we at AJ Plastic Surgery Centre are honoured to be at the forefront of this transformation.

Every month, we welcome patients from across Africa and the diaspora who travel to Kenya seeking high-quality, affordable plastic surgery in a safe, well-equipped environment.

Here’s why more people are trusting us—and Kenya—for their surgical journey.

Why patients choose Kenya for plastic surgery

Kenya has established itself as a regional hub for advanced medical care. With experienced professionals, improved infrastructure, and a welcoming environment, patients feel confident receiving their procedures here.

As a facility based in Nairobi, we are strategically located in a city that’s well connected, easy to access, and home to some of the region’s top specialists.

English-speaking care teams, efficient travel options, and internationally aligned standards make it simple and reassuring to travel here for plastic surgery.

Affordable surgery without compromising quality

Many of our international patients come to us because they’re looking for a better cost-to-care ratio.

Plastic surgery in Kenya, and particularly at AJ Plastic Surgery Centre, offers exactly that—top-tier medical outcomes at a significantly reduced cost compared to Europe, North America, or the Gulf region.

But cost savings never mean cutting corners. Every procedure at our clinic is performed under strict safety protocols, within accredited facilities, by highly trained specialists who have worked both locally and internationally.

A full range of procedures in one trusted facility

We understand that travelling for surgery is a big decision. That’s why we offer a comprehensive selection of procedures, all performed under one roof, so patients can receive holistic care from start to finish.

Cosmetic surgery

Our cosmetic services include popular procedures such as tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation, breast reduction, facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), labiaplasty, and non-invasive options like dermal fillers, Botox, and hair transplants.

Reconstructive surgery

For patients seeking to restore function or appearance following trauma or congenital conditions, we also offer cleft lip and palate correction, burn and scar revision, and reconstructive breast surgery, delivered with precision and compassion.

Support before, during, and after your visit

We don’t just focus on surgery—we focus on the entire experience. From your first virtual consultation to your final follow-up, we ensure you feel fully supported.

Our international patient coordination team assists with scheduling, medical travel advice, procedure preparation, and recovery plans.

We provide detailed pre-operative education, safe transportation guidance, and aftercare that helps patients feel at home, even when far from home.

Privacy and peaceful recovery

One advantage many of our international clients appreciate is the ability to recover in comfort and privacy. Nairobi offers a peaceful environment for rest and healing, and our facility is designed to prioritise discretion.

We also work with patients who wish to enjoy a quiet, scenic recovery either locally or within Kenya’s wellness destinations.
