Plastic Surgery In Mexico
Plastic surgery is expensive, and even in a recession the business of plastic surgery has done nothing but increase exponentially. For many people who wish to get more bang for their surgical buck, they are taking their talents (and money) south of the boarder and getting plastic surgery in Mexico. Even with the cost of airfare and a hotel stay, the price of plastic surgery is cheaper in Mexico than in the US.
Initially you may be afraid at the idea of traveling for plastic surgery as many people will claim that the plastic surgeons in Mexico are inferior skill wise to their US counterparts. This is plain malarkey and skims over the fact that there are good and bad doctors in every part of the world. Likewise Mexico boasts many skilled physicians of many medical disciplines whether trained in Mexico, or abroad in the United States. This has created a trend by which many people have sought treatment for a range of medical issues in Mexico for the discounted cost on major procedures, at an extremely high level of quality.
So why visit Mexico for plastic surgery? Well again the price is going to be nearly half of what you would pay for any procedure whether it’s single or combined with additional procedures. The plastic surgeons in Mexico are very upfront regarding the pricing of their services. Recovery often occurs in a beautiful resort location after you have completed recovery in the hospital, which allow for a more effective recovery when you are psychologically appeased by your surroundings.
No matter what it will always come down to the costs, and most telling is the popularity of Mexico as a surgical destination by people who were formerly extremely obese. Any time there is a great deal of weight loss and by this we’re talking up to a hundred pounds, the skin just doesn’t snap into shape after being so distressed over years. The cost of cosmetic surgery to have that excess skin removed from several areas of the body is ridiculously high. If having it done in the US it will likely mean a piecemeal service that will force a patient to have several surgeries over the course of time. In Mexico you can combine the surgery you need into one cost effective visit.
One of the most popular destinations is sought by those seeking plastic surgery in Monterrey Mexico. Monterrey is such a popular destination due in large part to Dr. Francisco Saucida a renowned plastic surgeon in the area who is said to be nothing short of an artist, performing at prices so low that they could be labeled as cheap plastic surgery. Dr. Saucida is known for the excellent work he does in regards to lower body lifts, combined with inner thigh lifts that are a common problem in patients who have lost extreme amounts of weight.
Dr. Saucida is also known to pick his patients up personally from the airport unless he is in surgery at the time. You’d be hard pressed to find a plastic surgeon in the states to even send an assistant unless the patient was a famous entertainer or the like. In addition your travel arrangements can be reimbursed for airline ticket up to $600 if the total cost of your surgery is over $7000.
So what kind of pricing can you expect on a specific procedure? For a Lower Body Lift (or LBL) you can with an Arm Lift (common combination) you would expect to pay a minimum of $15,000 in the US for these procedures. Remember this is the discount for electing more than one procedure. The same procedures performed in Monterrey will cost you between $6000 and $7000. Oh yeah, you also get curbside service from the doctor.
