People suffering from acne-scarred skin as well as those experiencing typical signs of aging such as crow’s feet, wrinkles, lines, and age spots opt to engage in non-surgical skin treatments called refinishing or surface repair treatments.

Most patients seeking smoother skin opt for laser skin resurfacing, which helps to remove scars and blemishes caused by acne, pigmentation, lines and wrinkles and sun damage as well as aging.

Dermabrasion and micro-dermabrasion treatments, also known as chemical peeling, involve removing layers of skin to eradicate pitting, scarring, and pigmentation common with those who’ve suffered from acne or sun damage.

These days, with job competition fierce, more people than ever before are seeking a youthful, fresh appearance through a variety of skin and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.

For people in the U.S., laser resurfacing treatments may cost between $2,000 and $4,000 per treatment. Botox injections cost around $450 for each vial of Botox, but cosmetic surgeons will charge between $200 and $300 for each area that is injected with the Botox solution. However, travelers to destinations such as the Advanced Medical Group in Jaurez, Mexico, or Ageless Wonders in Panama, Central America and the South America may enjoy the benefits of such cosmetic treatments at a savings of between 30% and 70% over costs found for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures in the U.S.

Such savings in antiaging skin care treatments, body skin care, and Ayurvedic skin care are not due to lack of training or expertise. Professional skin care can treat acne, rosacia, and wrinkles, using advanced skin care techniques, natural skin care methods and skin treatment that may help give you the edge when it comes to getting, and keeping, that job.

Lower costs don’t mean lower quality - quite the contrary. Health and wellness facilities in Mexico provide Americans living in border states convenient and affordable options to combat continuously rising healthcare costs in the United States. A majority of healthcare facilities, physicians, surgeons and specialists found in Mexico have been trained in the United States and are accredited and certified by national and international accrediting organizations.

Argentina, located in South America, has long been known as a great destination for dental, vision and cosmetic surgical procedures. However, many people don’t know that medical tourism in Argentina is growing by leaps and bounds. Buenos Aires hospitals, Buenos Aires health centers, clinics in Argentina and surgery in Argentina provide some of the most cost effective and quality treatment that can be found anywhere in the world.

Brazil has long been regarded as a destination for cosmetic surgery in particular. Due to the large volume of tourists from the USA and Europe, Brazil has built a reputation for having quality facilities and top-notch care. Medical professionals are held to high standards of education and accreditation, as are her many facilities.

How much are you worth?

 

And since when should money be a deciding factor on whether or not a person receives the medical care or drugs he or she needs to survive?

 

For example, depending on the type of procedure or surgery that is performed, cardiac surgeries have widely differing price ranges. However, they are among the most expensive surgical procedures performed in the United States. Coronary bypass surgery can cost up to $20,000 for one bypass, more if additional bypasses are required. A heart transplant can cost over  $150,000!

 

Highly acclaimed facilities and cardiac surgeons can be found in Jordan, Thailand and Singapore for a fraction of the costs in the U.S. For example, an angioplasty balloon procedure in the U.S. can cost up to $57,000, while in India, the cost hovers around $11,000 and in Thailand the same procedure costs about $13,000.

 

Laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure in the United States costs roughly (and a minimum) of $30,000. In India, the cost averages about $16,500. In Mexico and South American destinations, costs may average between $9,800 and $13,000. 

 

Liposuction costs and treatments are defined by the area where fat is located and the anatomical focus. To put it quite simply, larger areas cost more. For example, the cost of liposuction to the lower abdomen costs around $2,000 in the United States. Liposuction to the outer thighs may cost $1,600 each. Medical tourists may benefit through cosmetic surgery procedures centers in Argentina, where charges costs are less, generally under $3,000, which in many cases includes lodging. Liposuction in India costs one tenth of what it costs in the United States.

While techniques and methods used in a variety of cosmetic procedures are continually advancing, 2008 has saw a large increase in an injectable and noninvasive treatments such as Botox, as well as breast augmentation procedures. Studies have shown that over 10 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures were performed in the year 2005 alone, a nearly 40% increase since the turn of the new century. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the global market now exceeds $30 billion, with a sustainable compound annual growth rate in the range of 25%.

 

According to statistics provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the following procedures experienced a drastic change in the number of procedures performed between the years 2000 and 2007. The top trends in cosmetic surgery include:

 

·         Breast augmentation

·         Breast lift

·         Dermabrasion

·         Tummy tuck

·         Botox treatments

·         Laser skin resurfacing

 

But such treatment are expensive and not covered by medical insurance in the U.S., except in special cases and circumstances. But there’s good news out there when it comes to affordable cosmetic or plastic surgery.

 

Breast augmentation may cost anywhere from $4,000 to $6,000 in the US, but roughly $3,500 to $3,900 in Thailand. Those opting for the procedure in India will pay about 75% less there than in the US.

 

A breast lift costs between $4,000 and $7,000 in the US, though in India, the same procedure costs about $2,700 and those traveling to Argentina may expect to pay 40-80% less than costs incurred in the US.

 

Tummy tucks range from between $5,500 to $7,500 in the US, 50% less in Argentina, and about $3,700 in India.

Laparoscopic surgery is also known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery (MIS).  The technique enables surgeons to view, access and remove sections or entire organs through very small incisions rather than large incisions that cause extensive tissue damage, longer healing processes and greater risk of infection. Today, more facilities and surgeons utilize such techniques to perform a variety of surgeries, from liposuction to heart valve replacement.

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.

Hand access devices in laparoscopic surgery enable surgeons to perform a variety of functions, such as pancreatectomy and liver resection procedures. Advancements in technology are increasing capabilities of single port entry techniques for more complex surgical procedures. Laparoscopic techniques are used in orthopedic, obesity and bariatric surgical procedures, cosmetic surgery fields, cardiac or heart care and chronic disease treatments, among others.

Laparoscopic gallbladder removal, groin hernia repair and laparoscopic inguinal or ventral hernia repair are just a few of the procedures performed through laparoscopic surgical techniques. Facilities such as Laparoscopic Solutions in Coahuila, Mexico or the world-renowned facilities of Jordan Hospital and Medical Center in Amman, Jordan make good use of such procedures to enhance patient care and reduce surgical and post-surgical complications.
