Having Your Cosmetic Surgery Abroad

By Michael Dunage

Cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular as many men and women want to change their appearance or fix perceived flaws in their bodies. Cosmetic surgery abroad, however, is often the surgery for the rich because they can be very expensive and there is no insurance that covers for such elective procedures. This leaves only one cost-effective option for those in the middle class: having their cosmetic surgery abroad.

This has been increasingly done and there are existing programs for travelers wanting to have their cosmetic surgery abroad. The reason? The costs of a cosmetic surgery abroad are often up to seventy percent of the same procedure in the U.S. With savings like this, one can easily afford the flight, the hotel rooms are often included in the surgery price and there is no reason a person of average means cant have a perfectly acceptable cosmetic surgery abroad.

When it comes to cosmetic surgery, Mexico offers several programs for travelers who want to have their cosmetic surgery in Mexico. The procedures often include having a face lift, a chin lift, a tummy tuck, liposuction, a thigh lift or a rhinoplasty. For cosmetic surgery abroad, Mexico has board certified, well trained cosmetic surgeons who have done numerous surgeries in cosmetic surgery in the past.

They generally speak English and many are Western trained. This means they have the same skills as western surgeons in doing plastic surgery. Mexico hospitals designed for travelers are immaculate and have all of the modern equipment you would see in any western hospital. The staff is well trained as well and, in the surgery suite, youd find all of the modern equipment and anesthesia as is found in any nearby hospital in the U.S.

There are also personal assistants available for translation and to get the family and patient to and from the hospital and clinic sites. As mentioned, often the hotel is included in the cost of the cosmetic surgery. Mexico has many luxury hotels for you and a loved one to stay in before, during and after your cosmetic surgery abroad.

Costa Rica is a nice place to visit and also receive your cosmetic surgery abroad. They cosmetic programs in place are affordable and are designed specifically for the international patient. The surgeons that perform the cosmetic surgery there are board certified and have also received formal training in a western country. As part of your trip, you can even include the tourism aspect either before or after your surgery.

You will be transported to meet with the doctor to discuss the matters of the cosmetic surgery procedure. A date will be already set and shortly thereafter you will be admitted. If you decide to take a family member, that will be your option. There is a lot to offer in Costa Rica for you and also a family member or friend. The medical staff are available throughout the process and on hand to assist you with any needs you have during your stay.

Surgical drawings will often be made of your body at the site of the procedure which outlines where the treatment will take place during your cosmetic surgery. The surgical setup used in Costa Rica, is the same as is used in the U.S. The anesthesia is the same as well as the surgical equipment used. You will undergo the procedure, recuperate then prepare for your journey back home.
