Affordable Cosmetic Surgery Abroad

Cheap Liposuction, Breast Augmentation, Rhinoplasty, or Face Lift

Aug 19, 2009 Alla Kondrat

Affordable cosmetic surgery abroad allows receiving cheap liposuction, rhinoplasty, face lift, or breast augmentation services of high quality, but for lower price.

Cheap cosmetic surgery is not available in all the parts of the world. The prices for liposuction, rhinoplasty, face lift, or breast augmentation are incredibly high in the USA and Western Europe. At the same time, countries like Thailand, Mexico, Costa Rica, or Argentina offer cosmetic surgery procedures of the same quality, but at much lower prices.

That is one of the reasons for medical travel to be more and more popular among those willing to receive affordable but high-quality treatment.

Prices for Liposuction, Rhinoplasty, Face Lift and Breast Augmentation in the USA

The surgeon’s fee usually makes around 60-80% of the overall price of a cosmetic surgery. According to SmartPlasticSurgery.com, in 2005 average fees of a US surgeon were:

  • for a face lift – $6,298
  • rhinoplasty – $4,188
  • liposuction – $2,697-$2,979
  • breast augmentation – $3,583-$4,005

That is only the surgeon’s fee. Add 20-40% to these numbers to get the full price.

In addition, don’t forget that these were average prices. Now, considering the state of the economy, they are much higher.

As Infoplasticsurgery.com reports, a face lift procedure performed by Dr. Jean Loftus, a plastic surgeon who practices in Cincinnati, Ohio, and Northern Kentucky, will cost $7,000-$9,000, liposuction – $2,500-$10,000, and breast augmentation will cost $5,000-$8,000. An average US price for rhinoplasty is now $4,500-$6,000.

The prices vary. However, they all depend on the surgeon’s expertise and experience, aftercare support, and materials used, as well as geographic location and quality of the clinic. In any case, medical travel has become popular among those willing to have one’s cosmetic surgery cheap and affordable.

Medical Travel for Affordable Cosmetic Surgery Abroad

Among the most popular destinations for receiving cheap cosmetic surgery procedures are Argentina, Costa Rica, and Mexico, informs GoSculptura.com. Located not too far from the USA, these countries offer affordable cosmetic surgery procedures supported by high-quality medical care.

In Argentina, for instance, GoSculptura.com offers:

  • face lift for around $4,000
  • liposuction for $3,226
  • breast augmentation for $4,882

Other popular destinations for medical travel are India and Thailand. In Thailand a face lift will cost $2,500-$4,000, as Metamorphosis Medical Retreats (metamedretreats.com) offers. Rhinoplasty in Thailand can save a traveler up to $3,000. Savings on breast augmentation can make up to $3,500.

Medical travel has made cosmetic surgery procedures affordable for nearly everyone. Receiving cheap cosmetic surgery services abroad does not only make people look better, but also provides with an opportunity for visiting new places. So, pack the suitcases, and head abroad to save money on liposuction, cheap breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, or face lift.

Patients who travel for cosmetic surgery from the United States need to remember several points. First, not all countries provide the level of regulatory oversight that the United States provides. This means that not all centers have to meet certain minimum standards. Second, remember that if there is any kind of complication with the <a href="http://www.innovationsfps.com">plastic surgery</a>, it will be very difficult to find a physician who will be willing to deal with it.
