Once again, the summer months are almost upon us. We take a look in the near, try on favorite summer clothes, and realize that we’ve got some changes to make. Cheap plastic surgery is available to help take a nip here, a tuck there. Cosmetic surgeries may involve anything from liposuction to breast augmentation, a nose job, or even a thigh lift. Cosmetic surgeons in foreign destinations are highly skilled, world-renowned, and offer a multitude of cosmetic surgery procedures to meet any needs, at costs Americans can afford.

Cosmetic and plastic surgery and most cosmetic dental treatment procedures are not covered by medical health insurance in the United States. Is it any wonder that millions of Americans travel abroad to destinations such as Croatia, Brazil, or India for affordable plastic and reconstructive surgery?

Whether you’re looking for noninvasive plastic surgery, obesity plastic surgery or reconstructive cosmetic surgeons, the world is literally at your fingertips. Board-certified plastic surgeon options, plastic surgery specialists in cosmetic surgery center options are available in foreign destinations.

We all want to look our best, but many of us can’t afford the astronomical costs of cosmetic procedures in the United States. Venturing south to Latin America for affordable cosmetic surgery in Brazil at the world renowned Center of Plastic Surgery and Rehabilitation, or traveling to central Europe to locations in Turkey or locations in Croatia such as Dr. Toncic’s Cosmetic Surgery Clinic are growing in popularity. So whether you’re looking for cosmetic plastic surgery nearer to home or want to enjoy the benefits and exotic destination vacation blended with excellent cosmetic surgeries in Thailand, PlacidWay offers reliable and relevant resources for all your cosmetic surgery abroad needs.

Did you know that some of the most popular cosmetic and plastic surgery centers in the world are not located in the U.S.? Many of the finest cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures are performed in places like Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Asia.

 

Why? To be honest, because it’s cheaper. Many Americans are tired of paying inflated costs for elective cosmetic surgeries, so more are traveling abroad for facial reconstruction, nose jobs, breast augmentation, reduction and reconstruction, as well as tummy tucks, thigh lifts and more.

 

Check out some of the more popular plastic and reconstructive surgery options that are available in other countries at a fraction of the cost of similar cosmetic surgeries in the U.S.

 

·        Makeover Travel, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

·        Dr. Branko Glusac, Markarska, Croatia

·        Med Logistics, Columbia

·        Medical Sense Group, Sao Paulo, Brazil

 

These are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. For cheap plastic surgery, Americans are traveling abroad these days. Cheap doesn’t mean substandard however. The surgeons listed here are certified, accredited and often world famous for their superlative care and skill.

 

For detailed information regarding a multitude of cosmetic and plastic and reconstructive surgery descriptions, treatments and procedures, visit the Treatments pages of the Placidway website.

 

Many people have heard of medical tourism to places like Singapore, Thailand and India, but more countries around the globe are offering expert, experienced and quality cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures to domestic and international travelers from around the world.

Cosmetic plastic surgery is designed for people who not only would like to improve the appearance of their face, breasts, buttocks, and abdomen, but those who require reconstructive surgeries caused by accidents or genetic defects. Common cosmetic surgeries and treatments include:


· Breast augmentation or reduction

· Facelift

· Nose surgery

· Tummy tucks

· Liposuction


The type of cosmetic procedures performed determines cost. In the U.S., eyelid surgery may cost up to $2,500 and nose surgery can reach $3,300. Liposuction can cost upward of $4,000 per area of the body. Most plastic and cosmetic surgeries performed in the U.S. are not covered by medical insurance.


Increasingly popular medical destinations for cosmetic plastic surgery are found in exotic locales such as South America, Asia and Europe. For example, Botox treatments run from $200-$400 per area in the U.S., while treatments in Thailand may cost anywhere from $130-$180. Such cosmetic treatments in India may range from $112-$180 per treatment area.


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.
