These days, it’s difficult enough to feel good about your finances without worrying about competing with dozens, if not hundreds of individuals seeking the same job or position you’re eyeing - not to mention that many of us are suddenly finding ourselves competing with men and women 10, 15 or 20 years younger. Plastic and cosmetic surgery and surgical procedures are more popular than ever before, offering those approaching ‘young middle age’ and older a fighting chance to compete, and win over prospective employers.

 

Cosmetic and/or plastic surgery may involve many procedures and choices. Cosmetic and plastic surgery is designed for people who not only would like to improve the appearance of their face, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen. Advanced techniques offer multiple surgical procedures including but not limited to:

 

 

·         Breast augmentation or reduction

·         Facelift

·         Nose surgery

·         Tummy tucks

·         Liposuction

 

Don’t think you can afford cosmetic surgery? Maybe not in the U.S., but how about those performed in Argentina? As a matter of fact, Argentina has many high-quality and world-class cosmetic surgery facilities, including those of Dr. Tomas Brosto, plastic surgeon based in Buenos Aires, Argentina who specializes in face procedures like facial lifting, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty. Body procedures such as augmentation, mammoplasty, reduction, abdominoplasty (aka tummy tuck) and mastopexy and liposuction, as well as filler treatments like Botox, chin implants, ginecomasty and others.

 

Save tens of thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgical procedures while still enjoying the best, most qualified and experienced surgical care anywhere in the world.

Ayurvedic medicine, Yoga and meditation are century old treatments for a variety of health issues, including cardiac care, mental health care, joint and muscle health and health of internal organs.  Various yoga exercises help organs and glands to produce healing chemicals and keep organ tissues and structures in balance with each other. Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation are commonly suggested as natural and alternative treatments for depression.

 

Yoga and meditation are not only a great form of physical exercise, but are becoming increasingly popular as methods of reducing stress and treating depression. Yoga and meditation are very inexpensive to learn and practice. There are no drugs involved, thereby alleviating drug side effects. The practice of Ayurveda, Yoga and meditation also help to reduce high blood pressure, tension, anxiety, and even fear. Americans are growing increasingly opened to mind-body practices called complementary and alternative medicine, also known as CAM.

Ayurvedic medicine, also known as Ayurveda treatment is one of the oldest systems of medical treatment in the world. Ayurvedic treatments which are also know as Herbal treatments are a large part of this form of alternative or natural health care.

Destinations such as those found in India, Thailand, and Singapore offer this ancient health and wellness teaching to international patients.

Parkinson’s disease affects individuals around the world, most of them over 65 years of age.  Parkinson’s disease causes muscles to become stiff and rigid, and tremble, making movement, speech, sleep, and simple functions like bathing, brushing the teeth or hair, or speaking difficult.  Parkinson’s disease is believed to be caused by a loss of the brain cell called dopaminergic neurons found in the brain.

Researchers involved in stem cell research are studying the growth of new tissues and organs from stem cells that may be used in new brain tissue growth and transplants. Several stem cell research communities around the world are looking into prompting multipotent stem cells into becoming specific brain neuron cells, which could then be transplanted into the brains of patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Research is currently focusing on prompting healthy neural tissues and cells to regrow through various multiplication processes and technology. Such research and development of new Parkinson’s disease treatment and protocols utilizing stem cell technologies and research are on the cutting edge of discovery and facilities around the world, such as the Ukraine, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Germany and the United States are engaged in in-depth research in this area.

Individuals seeking treatments and possible cures to medical illnesses and conditions continue to seek out stem cell treatments available in international destinations and locations. Stem cell technology and treatments available in facilities such as Integra Medical and ProgenCell located in Mexico, as well as EmCell, located in the Ukraine offer international patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s hope for the future.

More expatriates are returning to their native countries for medical care. This trend is due in part because of increased quality of care in many countries, as well as the affordability of such care. 

Asians traveling to Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia enjoy affordable state of the art and high-tech treatment and care for orthopedic surgical procedures, cardiac care, and vision care. Latin Americans are returning to Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina for cutting edge technology in cosmetic and plastic surgical procedures, infertility treatments, and anti aging treatments and procedures. Eastern Europeans are traveling to destinations such as Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and Armenia as well as Russia for drug detox treatments, infertility treatments, and stem cell treatment and technologies.

Rising healthcare costs in the United States, Britain, Canada and France are compelling natives as well as foreign citizens to return to their homelands for such care, which utilizes highly trained physicians, world-class treatment and quality care that nevertheless is not burdened by high malpractice insurance costs, long wait times, and an increasingly disturbing trend by physicians and insurance companies in some countries to hesitate to take on patients diagnosed with chronic and long-term illnesses that drain resources, time, and manpower.

Information, education and resources offered to such expatriates enables educated and informed decisions regarding medical care, preventive medicine, and treatment of conditions ranging from cancer treatment to spine or knee surgery to stem cell treatments in foreign facilities. Destinations such as Wooridul Spine Center in South Korea, EmCell stem cell research in Ukraine and Ageless Wonders in Panama offer international travelers the best that medicine has to offer.

Laparoscopic surgeries are an increasingly used method of surgery that is less invasive, promotes faster healing and causes less surrounding tissue damage than traditional surgical incisions for a multitude of conditions. For example, in the “old days”, an individual undergoing an appendectomy would experience a 4 to 6 inch long incision on the lower right abdomen so the surgeon could access and remove the appendix.  Today, laparoscopic procedures for the same operation require 1 to 3 very small incisions, most commonly measuring only a centimeter or two in length.

Individuals undergoing laparoscopic surgeries have shortened recovery times as well as less postoperative pain. Smaller incisions decrease the chance of complications such as infection and offer decreased mortality rates. The fiber-optic instruments and video cameras attached to the laparoscope enable surgeons to view the surgical area on a monitor while utilizing special instruments that avoid surrounding tissue damage of the surgical area.

Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used in obesity and weight loss procedures, multiple orthopedics techniques and procedures, as well as for some cardiac procedures, biopsy procedures, and operations involving the soft tissues or organs of the abdominal area, from the stomach to the pancreas, liver, gallbladder and small and large intestines. Laparoscopic techniques and technology is also used in male and female genitourinary scenarios, such as prostate removal, treatment of the ovaries or uterus and kidney and urinary tract conditions and disorders.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal, offers information on a variety of facilities around the world who perform affordable, quality and effective minimally invasive surgical procedures for a variety of conditions from torn meniscus repair to colonoscopy.

Vision care is typically the most neglected form of health and wellness care. Individuals who don’t have a vision insurance coverage with their health plans often suffer in silence because of a lack of affordable vision care options in their region. Unfortunately, ignoring eye care and eye health may have devastating effects. 

Cataracts, blurred vision, cloudy vision, and conditions such as astigmatism, amblyopia, myopia, and others are often ignored by individuals until vision is severely impaired. Access to eye clinic facilities and opportunities aren’t available in many regions, and regular eye exams, the needs for glasses, contacts, or other corrective vision therapies are often beyond the reach and means of many individuals.

Cataract surgery and LASIK procedures are some of the most commonly performed techniques in vision care today. Cataracts can be caused by eye injuries, disease, congenital defects and aging, and drops or ointments don’t provide effective and long-term solutions. The only solution for most cataracts is surgery. LASIK eye care treats a variety of vision problems, including near and farsightedness, blurred or double vision, and is performed in LASIK eye clinics around the world.

Conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and corneal grafts or corneal transplants are performed at high-tech, state of the art and world-class facilities around the world, such as the Ahalia Eye Hospital in India, which offers cataract surgery in Kerala, refractive eye surgery, squint treatment, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and corneal eye transplant procedures and wave-front LASIK technology.

The technology, quality, and availability is out there. Affordable LASIK vision therapies and eye care clinics are found from India to South America, from Turkey to Jordan to Norway and South Africa. Don’t ignore your eyes - take care of them and they’ll take care of you.
