Cosmetic Surgery For Blondes

Archive for the ‘Affordable Cosmetic Surgery’ Category

In the United States there are ways to find free cosmetic surgery, if you need it for reconstructive or medical reasons. You can also find cheap cosmetic surgery, if you look for coupons or discounts in your mail or newspaper. While guaranteed financing may also be available many elective procedures are not very affordable and most Americans don’t have the extra money saved in today’s economy. That is why many Americans are travelling abroad to find affordable cosmetic surgery.

People are travelling to India, Argentina, Thailand and even as close as Mexico for more affordable options. Some countries offer procedures at 25% of the United States price. For example, in Argentina a tummy tuck cost roughly $3,250 compared to $13,000 in California.

So if you are looking for a medical holiday to save money consider the following destinations:

Argentina has dozens of qualified cosmetic surgeons who are skilled to perform tummy tucks, facelifts, laser surgery and breast augmentation procedures. Argentina is considered a budget-friendly country with boutique clinic packages for foreigners that include the hotel. Due to how easy it is to make your arrangements, Argentina has seen a tourism boom for cosmetic surgery in recent years

Costa Rica has many medical facilities that specialize in many affordable cosmetic surgery procedures from liposuction to cosmetic dentistry. Some surgeon’s prices are 50% less than the U.S., so you can get two procedures done for the price of one.

India’s cosmetic surgery centers offer procedures 90% off the U.S. price so you can still stay with your means, even with the cost of the plane ticket. India also has beach resorts and hotel packages that cater to budget minded foreigners making their medical tourism thrive all year round.

Guadalajara, Mexico has become a popular cosmetic surgery hotspot in the last few years. Their cosmetic surgery centers work with the America travel agents to provide cost effective packages for all budgets. Cosmetic surgery prices are between 25% – 40% less than U.S. making this cheap ticket to Mexico very affordable.

Thailand now offers several advanced treatments in laser surgery, reconstructive surgery and non-surgical procedures. Their hospital and clinic staff members have locations in Klongtoey and Bangkok who are trained in Thailand and the United States. Other affordable cosmetic surgery procedures are breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty and skin rejuvenation at a fraction of U.S. prices.

In the Philippines the cost saving is significant. For example the average surgeon fee for eyelid surgery in the U.S. is $2500, but in the Philippines the qualified surgeon only charges $600-$1500. Liposuction procedures in the U.S. cost $2000 per area, while they charge $800 for the first area and $500 for any additional areas. The anesthesiologist’s fee and facility costs are also much lower. Hotel rates at $45 – 65 a day (with discounts for weekly rates); patients can combine having a vacation in a tropical country with affordable, quality elective cosmetic surgery.

With any cosmetic procedure if you are having it done for medical reasons your insurance company may cover the cost. Due to the rise in medical tourism, some U.S. employers are extending their plans to cover surgery for those employees who want to travel abroad. Above all else research the facility, the surgeon credentials, get references from other patients and ask about all the hidden fees and travel expenses. Not only should the surgeon be certified but all the medical staff members should be licensed and ensure the safety of the hospital or clinic. Finding affordable cosmetic surgery abroad is like having your cake and eating it too.
